I just share my opinion about complaints from a perspective of someone, who sell instructions for years. And there were A LOT of people nagging for free instructions in past years. See, some people think that everything related to LEGO should be free. Just because "it's LEGO and I'm a fan of LEGO". Sorry, my bills are not for free. And? I have even been said (ONCE), that I should release all my instructions for free (hundreds of hours of work spent on them) and rely only on voluntary donations. And that was the dumbest ideaI have ever heard :) Main idea behind making paid instructions; If you have paid 200€ for a set, spending additional 10-15€ on completely new and different model is a fair deal. No additional bricks, no addtional effort. Just few % of price you have already paid for bricks for 100% new building experience. So what would you build then? Those low quality ones? :)

My first alternate model for 42175 set. Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-193407/M_longer/42175-volvo-vhd-snow-plow/?spot=designer_mocs 42175 A model is a Volvo FMX. I decided to keep up with the make, but with a long nose version: With a Tow Plow-based trialer 2111 parts from 2274. Model features: - HoG steering - openable doors - openable bonnet - working inline-4 fake engine - salt hopper spreader with moving belt - belt drive can be disengaged - pneumatically lifted front blade - pneumatically lifted trailer blade - trailer can be set to working mode Front blade is raised with pneumatic cylinder (and goes down only with gravity, only lower inlet on the cylinder is connected). Operated by air pump and valve behind the cab: This truck has been designed to be used as a standalone model without trailer too. To do so, a plug for rear pneumatic quick coupling is connected and keeps the pneumatic circuit sealed: Main feature is operated by a worm gear. It sets drawbar, wheels and rear light bar into working mode, which allow trailer to drive in pararell behind the truck, cleaning the second lane: More pictures: https://bricksafe.com/pages/M_longer/42175-alt/tow-plow Video
