This is the start of the Desert Racing Modelers Community Build. The chosen vehicle to build is the IH Scout or Scout II. It is an "anything goes" build so kitbashing, add ons, PE, etc. is all allowed. Stating: now Ending: March 1
So, let's have fun and get creative.
(thread edited 12/9 to include Scout II to the list of acceptable vehicles)

The hardest part now is deciding which direction to go. The Scouts are great with top on and off. Half doors always looked good on them too. Weekend trail or camping rig fits the Scout, just as a cut up, dove tailed, advanced suspension rock crawler.

Woohoo, this is gonna be fun! ;D In our excitement though, do all participants have their kits? We only have 7 votes in the poll, was hoping for at least ten builders

Okay, I'm jumping in! Do we have to start with the basic Scout kit, or will the SSII work? I was shocked to see I have four Scouts, one junker builtup, two standard and one SSII. Id like to see someone stretch the body into the Traveler and Terra!

Hmmm, going a pickup route? Perhaps a Traveler? Maybe an open back crawler? Curious as to what route the rest are planning on going.
