Dirty Dave Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) When brainstorming project ideas, sometimes I find it helpful to start with backstory rather than just starting with a couple of model parts that happen to fall together, though I've had plenty of projects begin that way as well.

I went with a slammed VW singlecab, converted to a halftrack with a roller on the front bumper to help skid over larger obstacles (see the weeds caught in the roller and rear bumper, below).
