I've always wanted to do a kitbash of the "Possum Lodge" van!   "If women dont find you handsom... they should at least find you handy."

At the 2010 IPMS Nationals here in Phoenix, somebody actually did enter a model of the Possum Van. He told me he used two kits of a mid-1970's-era Dodge van and kitbashed the bodies and undersides to make the extended ones on the Possum Van. The body on the model was removable and with the body off, you could see fishing rods, broken hockey sticks, and of course, the inevitable rolls of duct tape.

Keep your stick on the ice!

Used a tissue for the canvas tarp. I did use the kit parts for the floor and front of the bed. Ordinary sewing thread for the ropes

The kit came with  stakesides but I went nuts and used the kit sides as a templet and scratch built my own out of basswood.

Great Googilee Moogilee! Thats brilliant!!!

Where did you get the scale plans for the stake bed?

I can actually hear Edgar Montrose, explosives enthusiast from the "Red Green Show" right now. "Your wife left you? Blow up the stove! Otherwise, you'll start cooking for yourself and that's DANGEROUS!"

Found my other picture's of it.

Very cool, that took steady hands!

I like it. Lots of detail and very well done!

The whole thing can just about "park" on a quarter

Nice little build!

I kitbashed it from a jordan products kit. had to sacrifice a winshield from another kit so I could open up the windshield "just like the real thing". Hard to do in 1/87th scale. Built it for a customer in Seattle who parked it in front of a smokeshop on his model train layout.

looks interesting. any story to go with it (like what you built it from, what you did to it, etc)?
