I'm just throwing this out there to see who wants in on the next contest. It will be a Box Stock Ford Build. Build any Ford, Lincoln or Mercury kit. We will follow the rules as stated in IPMS rule book.
OUT-OF-THE-BOX entries will be governed by the following rules:
KITS. Any commercially available kit may be used. Only parts that are included with the kit and found in the bag or box may be used, regardless of composition or medium utilized by the manufacturer to create those parts. The only exception to this requirement is found in paragraphs IIIB and C below. The host chapter and the National Contest Committee will determine the number of categories incorporating Out-Of-The-Box awards.
FINISH. All finishing techniques are allowed. Decals other than those included with the kit may be used. Insignia, markings, and instrument panels may be hand-painted instead of decaled. Weathering is permitted.
CONSTRUCTION. The modeler may fill seams and gaps; sand off rivets; drill out gun ports, exhaust pipes, or other appropriate openings; thin to scale such parts as trailing edges, flaps, and doors; add rigging and antennas.
IT IS NOT PERMITTED TO: vacuform, manufacture, or replace any part, or substitute parts from another kit; cut or separate canopies, surfaces, hatches, doors, etc. (no major surgery); combine a standard kit with a conversion kit; add anything other than specified on the instruction sheet except as shown in Section C above.
You can add BMF. If you want to open the trunk you can. No flocking or wiring. Does not have to be built as the picture on the box. You just have to use only the parts in the box. If kit has custom parts in the box thats ok. No chopping or channeling of bodies.
I think this will be a fun and exciting contest. I will sit down and determine what prizes will be awarded. If you want in just reply to this post.
So far here is the list of who I have:

Ya' know how I like to cut and swap and create stuff. It'll be kinda refreshing to put together a simpler build.
