Photos to be posted soon. I wanted to put everything I could into the ultimate build, and this one took me about three years of on-and-off work. Seriously. MY G.L. BUILD PHILOSOPHY My main criticism of most GL builds is that they are 'way too immaculate to be an in-use back-roads racing car driven by good-ol-boys on a farm. They always look...well, sterilized comes to mind. Absolutely gorgeous, like they're going for the trophy at a car show, with a car that's never driven except on and off a trailer. Not this one!! -Interior: Agree with many that the darker brown "saddle" color of the earlier series looks better, but a darker interior will hide most great …

Hey y'all!! I'm doing woodwork for the final two years of school,and for the practical side of the subject I'm building...a bike!!

Here are the completed photos after several years of on-and-off work. Although posted before, here is my own philosophy of building a General Lee, which differs from so many other builds I've seen. Font is increased as per comments that it was hard to read. MY G.L.

Ok, so I am home from work (forced closure due to Corona Virus Governor directive). I've been working on a bunch of projects. This is a WIP (Work in Progress) of a 1:18 scale figure for Sheriff "Hammerhand" Ragsdale. This is the parts I've put together from various figures to work with. I need to do some sanding on the body, then add his bracelet and sheriff stars. Then he will need to be painted up. I also need to fabricate his extra gun belt and straps and possibly paint some pistols. Comments and Criticisms welcomed. I'm hoping to have this completed by the end of the weekend.

Hi all, I have been trying to find a good set of 1:24 decals for General Lee but have been quite unlucky. I guess finding them in Europe is even more challenging than it is in America. The ones I have bought always have a flaw: too big, too long, too narrow... The man in my hobby shop suggested I should print my own set. So, I was wondering if someone knows were can I get/buy a good quality file (preferably vectorial) to do my own printing. Thanks!

I'm a knitter and crocheter. I've done it for a few years now. Anyone else a knitter or crocheter too?

So we had a BarnBuster play set...but no barn. Some foam board, glue, craft sticks, cardboard, scotch tape, and some crayons and .....TA-DAH !

I started working on another General Lee model. This is the 1/25 scale MPC Snap Kit General Lee. I started by re-shaping the rear window. It's basically a rectangle in the kit so I made it a bit larger and rounded at the top and also changed the angle to be a bit more steep. I added missing window trim under the side windows and made the rear wheel openings slightly smaller in the rear. The body is painted 1975 Corvette Flame Red which was the color most used on the General Lee(s) in the TV show. The paint is from Gravity Colors. The decals represent the early Georgia car which is my favorite look. In a few days I'll spray the clear coat on the body. …

Howdy y’all, so I just got gifted a nice acoustic guitar in great shape, music/guitar stand, books, picks, tuner gadget, etc I want to learn but I wonder if anyone here has any advice or experience on learning guitar.

Hey y'all people who like to draw. What things have you drawn? What do you like to draw? Share it here

Did I ever say I LOVE anime?, mmhhh, uh, yeah, I think I've already said it, LOL. OK, just added a new album in my profile page, with my (old) drawings. I stopped drawing several years ago, and I think it's time to start again that hobby.

Go west young man! ....not quite. For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about. The Journey West is an ancient Chinese fantasy novel written by Wu Ch'eng En in the sixteen century. It chronicals the antics of Monkey, a creature born from rock who becomes extremely powerful. When I say extremely powerful, I mean Superman x 100. It follows him as he protects a monk, Tripitaka, who is going westward from China to India to retrieve Buddhist scriptures. Along the way they are accompanied by Sandy and Pigsy, two gods who were cast down from heaven and are trying to repent as monsters on earth. The book consists of about 100 chapters, most of these chapters consist of…

I play Red Dead Online almost everyday, and there this NPC that takes care of your camp when you're gone named Cripps and you can buy different outfits for him and he reminded me of a sassier Uncle Jesse so I bought him overalls

Im new to this, this General Lee hot wheels Mustang GTD is the very first one I did.

Now I've always been partail to this one branch of the services for awhile now. I've done my research and Im thinking about joining the marines after I get out of highschool. Now I was wondering if we got any vets on here from the marines or any branch of the service really. Id like to get some info on the marines in particular though!

I've been pretty busy this past month, what with taking care of my chickens and peacocks and all. One of the peacocks started laying eggs last month, so I've been incubating them. Well, I had one due to hatch at anytime, so I was busy getting things ready for the little one. Well, yesterday I was at an appointment and when I checked the eggs before I left, they were the same as usual. When I got home, roughly 2 1/2 hours later, I go to check them again, and to my surprise one of the eggs was cracked. Knowing a chick was due, I immediately announced it to everyone else. That was around 4-4:30 pm. And for the rest of the day and all night, we were up checking on the egg. F…

So I've almost finished my err...I mean Colt's play set for Cooter's Garage. I've got to put some lettering above the main garage door and build one more dormer and then put the on....but we couldn't wait so let the play being and I'll finish later. Coot's Garage Features: The main designs of the ones on the show. -Working Folding Front Garage Door -Opening Rear Door -Loft Area -Working door to the "Office" -working side garage door (I took liberties with this one and ignored the weird little tie in piece that would tie in to Rheubottom's Store) Mainly because this is much more fun to be able to use another garage door for play purposes for my 8 year old. …

PEACE OUT!

Okay, on to my next project: Daisy's Plymouth! I much prefer the look of the SECOND car used, the one that went over the cliff (actually I prefer how it looked BEFORE, but nevermind). It just looks sleeker to me, plus it was used in more episodes (14 vs 9). First, let's dispel some rumors and falsehoods: -Rumor # 1: Daisy's second car was a Plymouth Roadrunner, either '71 or '72 depending on where you read. -The Truth #1: Apparently it was probably a '71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring with some '71 GTX features including a non-Sebring hood. Therefore, it shall henceforth be referred to simply as "Daisy's Plymouth". -Rumor #2: Daisy's fir…

Hi guys, I've been a long time fan of the Dukes and back in the day I remember doing a few of the old MPC General Lee kits that turned out to be disasters. I just received a new MPC "Country Charger" kit as a gift and it appears to be just a "PC" version of the old General Lee kit. I know the kit isn't very good and it's full of inaccuracies but it's what I've got to work with and I would like to try and build a half way decent General with it. My question is: Where is the best place to order 1/24 scale General Lee decals from? I remember back in the day there were a few vendors who made more accurate versions than the kit provided but I cannot seem to find anything…

Ok, I finished up The Mean Green Machine. I used legos, foam board, an old film canister, and the chassis of another Dollar Tree jeep. Que weird Mean Green Machine music......how many of y'all can hear it in your head ?

This is a double zero inspired Dodge Challenger hot wheels I painted.

Finished in record time, considering the extreme nature of the build Only major regret is the wheel spacing....wide tires were definitely used, but I really am drawing the line at redoing the suspension to tuck them in more. I've just had enough.... Hazzard collection is now 7 vehicles strong.
