The snow plow should be a familiar sight to anyone from wintry climes. The shape of the main plow isn’t really right for a highway plow, but it does have an outrigger and a combination dump/sander bed.

My favorite part is the support frame for the outrigger plow.

The helicopter is just a tiny guy. It flew away before I could take any photographs, but I did LDraw it:

What do you think?

I spotted these in Brickshelf and was impressed with both of the models - the snowplow is nice for its little details and functions. The helicopter is a pleasant surprise - I looked atthe set and builtthe main model and then went to another set - I wasn’t really looking at the possibilities of the 4939. Thanks for the reminder:-)!
