OK, who's up for a little modeling fun.
No staring date, No finishing date, at this time,just decide to find and build a Redneck Camper and have fun doing it.
Being creative, and artist interpretations counts.
Plus a good way to clean out the parts boxes.
If enough are interested we could make a campaign, and I'm sure I could find a kit as a prize somewhere in my collection. (I'll leave all that stuff up to Scott and Matt!)
Example of a Redneck Camper:

LMAO, those are great......
Well if it goes to an official campaign, then I'm afraid there would be a start and finish date and I guess there would need to be a finish date for the kit prize. But the offer of a kit to the winner still stands, and as usual, Staff can't win the kit
and of course if you have a camper, you need your hound.

Now how’d I miss this one.
But Dave thats not a camper. It’s a roadhunting cabin.
I may have to give this a try. I think I may have an idea for one in 1/72. Just need to find a kit.

Jacob, you and Gunny just have to look out back.........
I'm laughing so hard, I soiled my astronaut pants.
While surfing I spotted this new to me release from Revell.
It's a stock or custom kit, so I think I'll pick one up and use it as my base kit.

So far I think this is just a fun group build. I haven't heard any serious talk of campaigns.
Edit: there are a lot of campaigns right now, so it'd have to be long.

Group build, fun build, annoy the treadhead build....
I'm happy to report my 41 Chevy Pick has arrived, and I'll be doing this inbetween other projects.
Creativeness counts, and remember to think like a redneck! Redneck World

Here's another one for ideas
Bad enough to do this in scale but what are the people who build these in 1-1 thinking?

OK, came across this picture and place it here to spice this thing up again: redneck toilet...
Should be able to work on bio-fuel also...
My status:
I bought some balsa wood for the camper part on my pick-up. I first wanted to build it with styreen but I guess the balse looks more "woody".
Also gathering all sorts of useable 1:24 / 1:25 (or looking like this scale) stuff to fill a dio.
