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.

Ok, I seen that there are horse people on here but has anyone ever gotten into showing club calves or feeder calves, or show steers. Anyone who is into this will know what I'm talking about. The reason I call it a hobby and not a business venture is because anyone who's in it knows you don't make a dime off of doing it but it's fun. What breed of cattle do you show if you're a purebred breeder, or do you like crossbreds? What kind of trips have you been on? Did you get to go to the National Angus or Shorthorn conventions? Did you win any state fairs or jackpot shows? And for anyone who's wondering, yes I am still alive.

Hey ya'll I just bought this pretty cool survival horror game. It's called Cold Fear and I recomend it to all Resident Evil fans! The main character is reletavly attractive (Although the voicework could be a little better) and it's creepier than Silent Hill with a more RE esque to it. I swear, these monsters come out of freaking nowhere and all the warning you have before they leap at you from behind is this inhuman screech! And sometimes you go into this really dark room and by the time you turn on your flashlight you already have a monster leaping out at you! It's a fantastic survival horror game, my only complaints are the voice acting and the aiming system should be e…

I have been collecting 80's toys since the late 90's. Got a fairly big dukes collection as well as transformers from the 80's and literally up til now. I have some of the OG masters of the universe stuff and some of the repop stuff from the last couple of years. Got some knight rider stuff and fall guy stuff. A decent amount of the old stomper trucks and several of the stomper track sets. Still have my bmx bike from the 80's and recently picked up a very decent DK General Lee bicycle. Just enjoy remembering the best childhood anyone could have ever asked for.

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. …

I love to cross stitch on my spare time especially during the winter time. It's nice to just sit at home watching a movie and drinking hot chocolate while cross stitching. I like cross stitch better than sewing, but i sew from time to time. I don't like to crochet because i think it is so hard to do. Christine Fontana

Hello your friendly neighborhood Game Warden Here; Val Strate, with a fun and entertaining way to enjoy natures wildlife and winter! If you are like me and live in an area that gets colder than the seat of Boss Hogg's exercise bike, (that Lulu bought him for Christmas last year but he never uses.) You know that winter brings crystallized precipitation or in other words snow. The white stuff can be joyous as well as annoying. But have no fear; the Game Warden has come up with a simple and very fun game for you to play in the winter snow. You can play alone or with your friends. After the snow outside has stopped falling and you have a good clear day, take a short walk in t…

After a break of almost 10years, I've returned to this winter sport. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten how hard it is. I've done 3 races so, & got another one on Saturday - which is a 'Cyclist verses Runners' Up to the top of a local (to the event start anyway) moor & back down! I'm using a mountain-bike I bouught earlier in the year, not a proper 'cross' bike, but might get one for the next season (had one before) Click on pic, to open album

Just to remind y'all: YES, they used a '74 Roadrunner which appeared in 5 of the first 9 episodes, then beginning with episode 11 they switched to a '71 Satellite Sebring in a Roadrunner paint scheme, hoping nobody would notice (we did). Some prefer the '74; personally I prefer the '71, finding it much sleeker and meaner looking with the wraparound bumper/grill assembly. Base kit is the Revell/Monogram '71 Plymouth GTX. Modifications include: -Replacement hood -Smaller-block engine (from 71 Duster) -Completely rebuilt & boosted rear suspension -Replacement tires -Wheel hubs from '77 Ford van Additionally, …

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…

Here's some pics I've made and taken. All but one were done last year. This is my buddy, Kiwi. He's a 2 year old Nanday Conure. I swear this little guy can hold a conversation lol. His favorite things to say are "Hello", "Yo", "Yeah", "Okay", "Why?" and "Lexas" (that's one of our dogs). I love him to death and wouldn't trade him for the world ^.^ This is a pic of my character, Gabriel (Gabry for short). Back when I had my drawing tablet (up until last month XP), I did pics like this. This is another pic of my character, Gabry. I really like this one. This is a pic of a wasp I took last spring in my backyard. It's sitting on a closed peony.

Well, I've watched and I've read 'bout all your beautiful hobbies. Now it's my turn. I like drawing, and I've always drawn since I was I child. Unfortunately, I draw only manga (I'm not able at all to draw real people or nature; and if I try it, it seems a manga ). And I've not so much fantasy to create my own characters (so I need a model to copy). Mhhhh.... it's not a good advertising for my works....... .... I know. Anyway, I hope you like it.

Here's some pics of 3 little ducklings I hatched in September. The little duck with the funky hairdo is Sgt Quackers, the other little black one is Beatle, and the little silver one is Lucky. My babies are getting bigger everyday and now, almost 4 months later, they're almost the same size as their parents. Lucky is a girl, Sgt. and Beatle are boys. All three have the same daddy, but Lucky has a different mom than the boys. Sgt Quackers was born 9-9-12. Beatle and Lucky were born 9-10-12.

I thought we should have a single thread to post information about Dukes-related diecast models, new and old. My interest lies in 1:18 scale models, but feel free to discuss other scales. Sadly, I don't currently have the funds or the space to add to my diecast collection (especially with a less favorable exchange rate than it was a few years back). That doesn't mean that I've stopped looking at new releases, so I thought I'd start this thread with a slightly belated round-up of some Dukes-related 1:18 scale cars that came out in the months before Christmas. The first three are released under the Johnny Lightning name, but I think they all use the old ERTL molds. The firs…

Well, for the past ten years I've been collecting die-cast and now I have two Corvettes 1/24 scale from the Corvette museum it's just american to go to that museum and not buy something Corvette related. At least three Dodge Chargers and they are a 1/18 scale General Lee just got a couple of weeks ago. A 2006 1/24 scale Dodge Charger in a display case, and a 1/32 scale 1969 Budweiser Dodge Charger that my brother got me for Christmas one year. Two 1957 Bel-Air same exact model just different colors. I couldn't believe I did this until pulled the first one out. Three Ford Mustang all 1/24 scale just different years and different colors, two of them was gifts and one I bou…
