Hobbies

I have been into model railways for as long as i can remember, i currently have an 8ft X 4ft layout in my bedroom with three main tracks, sidings and industrial buildings. i have mostly british outline models on my layout, most of them being in the early and late BR lined black livery. once i get some photos, i will gladly post them, quite often my cousin will visit, and he is into Thomas and Friends, so i would often also have some Thomas and Friends locos running on the layout for his pleasure and enjoyment ^^. But apart form that, it's still currently being added to, with more new features coming soon later this year.

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. 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…

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. I would love to teach myself how to play Good Ol Boys or General Lee by Johnny Cash. Or Momma’s don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Let me know y’all!

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.

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…

Howdy everyone out there on the Hazzard net. Who all here likes farming simulator? I prefer Farming Simulator 2013 over 15 but maybe I'm a little biased. I have found the General Lee for the 2013 version so I like to use it as a drive around vehicle. Here's the link. http://www.farming-mods.net/mod/general-lee-v2-0/ I think you will like it. If there are any farmers that play the game out there, feel free to post a link to your favorite mod that you downloaded. I'm gone!

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…

I was supposed to read this book back in my senior year, I started it but never finished the darn well back of February of 2007. Well that is almost fifteen years after I graduated I found a copy that I had at home and started reading it again. Well, last saturday I finished it.

Okay, so my mama likes to crochet all kinds of stuff, including house shoes. Don't knock 'em now, they are very warm and comfortable. I requested a new pair recently and this is what I got. Let me know what you think...

Supercars are auctioning a rare (only 8 made) 1:18 dirty 22ct gold model of General Lee on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/1969-GENERAL-LEE-CHARGER-1-18-Gold-Plated-1-8-/260642294899?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item3caf7dcc73 Get in quick - the auction ends August 11th. Just so you know - last year they auctioned 2 equally rare clean 22ct gold Generals which went for about €1500 a piece. In case you read this after the auction finishes - here's what you missed:

It's taken me long enough to get around to making a thread like this. LOL. Anyone on here love to sing as much as I do? I've been in Honor's Choir and all county choir for about 4 years now, anyone else in a fine arts group like this? Maybe you're in to drama or are more the artistic type.Maybe you even play an instrument of some sort. Why do you have a passion for a talent in the fine arts? Who got you started? Did you struggle along the way? Do you direct a choir/band? Or maybe even directed a play. (please for those who are in drama...correct me if I give misleading information, I'm not that familiar with the drama department.) I sing for two reasons alone. 1. My gran…

Been addicted to Shortwave Radio for so many years I've done lost count. Really want to get my Amateur Radio License (HAM License) someday. Was curious if there are any other SWL's or HAM's or potential HAM's around here? Anyone not familiar with either one... could simply ask the magic google box.

This time next year will be very exciting if astronomers are correct in their predictions. The most brilliant comet ever seen by anybody alive is on the way and should be at it's brightest by Christmas 2013. The comet may possibly be as bright as the full Moon and it may become so bright it will be visible in daytime. Often predictions of comets' brightnesses don't live up to the hype but even if it doesn't this will still be a spectacular sight. It is currently in the area of the constellation Gemini and is only visible with large telescopes and only looks like a tiny white dot. When it does start to become visible in the fall it won't be visible in the evening. Seeing …

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!

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 am reading book number of Cedar Cove series and it's called 74 Seaside Ave. it's pretty good but I won't give it away thow. www.debbiemacomber.com

So far, my Quest to provide and fill the hole left by Revell, MPC, AMT, ERTL, R2, and Auto-world has lead me to create General Lee Creations from a Facebook page, to a full blown model making Hobby/Company, I am going to be releasing My own custom Modeled 1969 Dodge charger General Lee Alongside a SLA printed Bo and Luke due in 1/43 scale (The Bo and Luke duke models weren't created by myself, but a very competent user on Cults3D, and I bought the rights to use these figures though the Charger is all my work, 100%) and by Q3 of 2024 I will have 1/25 models ready to roll off the line for any one who may want one along side figures of all your favorite cast members, Rosco, …

I'm mainly working on the General, however I decided to incorporate the sheriff's car in here as well. I'll give more detailed pictures later when both models are finally complete. http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y510/BrentonH77/IMG_0291_zps5dfc4f4f.jpg' alt='IMG_0291_zps5dfc4f4f.jpg'>

I run derbies in your local redneck festivals, a.k.a. county fairs for the last couple of years, I also own a pretty decent size die cast collection. About 4,000 cars or so, and of course I have every General I can get my hands on!

Pioneer, Go Home is the book of that Follow That Dream is based from and is a bit different and goes a bit different then the movie I finish reading this just this weak.
