Heck Dave.... I made Pvt Parts walk 5 mile barefooted uphill, in a blizzard last week just to get to a cash machine to buy the kits for this one........ but at least I fed him along they way. :-) :-) :-)

Suggestions for the start and finish date. I will submit the request today. To make it simple lets just say that we can build any scale semi rig that could have been used by any military in the world from the first world war to present. It can be a kit, scratch built, or combination of kit bashing and scratch. The number one thing is to have fun building something. Because of cost as stated in the first proposal some tractors could be approved for the build without the trailer on a case by case bases by myself, Roo,, if he still wants to help with this one.

If the build is slated for Christmas, I would possibly join. If / when I d, my project would be a HEMTT w/ additional trailer.

I would think that this would qualify as a heavy hauler.

I suggest a start date of 27 Dec 2004 and a finish date of 1 April 2005.

The build could be in any scale as long as it is a tractor trailer rig. It can be a vehicle from WW1 to present day. It will include civilian rigs as well as military since they are using civilian vehicles in Iraq to haul military supplies. Your entry (entries), can be out of the box to a complete scratch build. or any combination (kit truck with scratch trailer) The main purpose is to have a fun build.

A ribbon will be awarded to all that finish on time with a photo of the completed entry in the campaign gallery. a bronze star can be added to any ribbon with two or more entries completed.

You can count me in. I have a Dragon Wagon and a Famo w/trailer to choose from. The start date gives me plenty of time to prepare.
