<font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">To cover up the wonky plow blade I decided to put a flat horizontal blade on top of the vertical blade. Not prototype but had to cover up my mess. Added a diamond roof , this to break up the flat surface and give it the more appropriate stealth fighter look that the prototype has.
</font></font><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"> </font></p><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">At this stage I felt the front was aa little light weight, so using a hot glue gun I added some extra weight, Nothing too heavy about 150 grams. I used some weights usually applied to car wheels when balancing. I attached these inside the base of the plow using hot glue gun.

</font></font><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">
</font></font><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">After the glazing I added hand rails. I used this great plastic coated metal wire I picked up from a shop in Banbury. If any one knows what it’s called please let me know. It’s strong, easy to manipulate, and the plastic coating is good to be stuck to other plastic using plastic weld so makes it easy to attach.
</font></font><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"> </font></p><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">After the hand rails I thought the base looked a little plain so dug out some old guage one white metal tender axle boxes cut off the spring parts and attached these where the wheels were. I attached these by drilling small holes into the backs of the boxes, and small holes into the bases. Super glued a small peg into the back of the axle box then put it in the hole on the base with a little super glue for extra stick.

Firstly a coat of Halfords grey primer. Then just plain old Halfords matt black. Then Just pick out the detail in white, steps, handrail. Etc.
