Murdoch17 Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Here are my two revamped Adventurers vehicles: the tan Scorpion Tracker owned by Johnny Thunder, and the red Island Racer purchased by Lord Sam Sinister. SCORPION TRACKER This car was heavily modified from a model by BricksAA and these free MOC instructions over on Rebrickable. The car is named the Scorpion Tracker, named after set 5918 (Scorpion Tracker) but styled after set 2995. (Adventurers car and skeleton) The car also features a spare tire hanging at the back of the vehicle. This vehicle can seat three figures total, which usually means Johnny at the wheel, Dr. Kilroy riding shotgun beside him and Pippin Reed seated in the back. ISLAND RACER I took another look at 2020 set 40409 (Hot Rod) and, after tinkering with it a bit, was reminded of the 2000 set 5920 (Island Racer) from Adventurers. I thought about how the styles could merge into one car, and this is the result. The grille, headlights, and bonnet have all been changed, and the color swapped from blue to red. I also used the longer red wheel arches to go around the short red arches extreme scarcity. (I actually like this change better, honestly.) Thoughts? EDITED 4/24/24: I changed around the Scorpion Tracker to have it's top down. The newly revised Johnny Thunder, Pippin Reed and Dr. Kilroy are also shown.

sinister5988 Posted February 17, 2023 Wow these cars are awesome! Very fitting for the Adventurers theme. When I build Adventurers vehicles, I pretty much always use the famous moulded cockpit part (30149). But with your building techniques there's certainly a lot more flexibility. Great that it can seat three minifgures - can't think of an official Adventurers car that could do that. Do you plan on creating instructions for these two? I'd love to build them too, especially the Scorpion Tracker. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the tan car, as it was inspired by somebody *else* and their instructions (as stated in the main post), so that's not going to happen, sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) The Adventure is postponed a little bit... Don't you just love it when your-long awaited Bricklink order arrives, you build the models you ordered and find you're missing a few vital parts? To compound the problem, I apparently never ordered the handful of parts in question in the first place! Anybody else done this?

That's where Bricklink comes in, filling in the gaps I couldn't fill otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feuer Zug Posted April 29 Great modification. The top down look is perfect for the theme. Much more playable too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks @Feuer Zug, and I agree about having the top down being more playable! Edited April 29 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
