This is my moc of a british snow plough / gritter

Hello,

That's a nice truck.

I like trucks, and I like yellow.

It has nice shape, I would just add some details at the back part of it, and change 2x2 clear dishes with the gray or white ones.

Oh, and don't forget the 640x480 picture size limit!

glad you like it

what would you suggest adding to the rear of it, also I am unable to change the colours of the discs as I am using the other ones for different mocs and the clear green was the only colour I had left

Fast reply

Well, when I build a MOC, I always try to collect as many informations about vehicle I am building As I can.

Usually that are photos and PDFs.

So I would use details at the back like this:

or this

I decided to leave the gritting chute out and add in the discs as something that always annoys me when the gritters are out is that the chute does not dispence the grit verticly but rather diagonally which usually means that the grit hits the car travalling behind it. The ladder I could add in at the rear which would allow access to the roof. Also I have just realised that the ladder would allow access to the opening for the grit to enter the gritter through the grey plate.

Here s the edited rear, hope you like it

Even though I have never seen one of these before, I like it. I would change the front blade/shovel that pushes the snow out of the way, it seems too blocky.

The plough is based on this design
