I had to google the Barn Busters Play Set - you've done a great job of recreating your missing barn.
The original toy barn had shingles, but all the roofs around here are tin so I made it my way.

On Flickr you can store up to 1000 pics for free then post the links here.
Thanks.
I'll see if I can get it sorted out a bit later today. -
Well it says my files are too big...

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 miss Radio Shack.
Me to. Ours closed 4 or so years ago. I bought some new CB antennas dirt cheap. (Not the ones related to this post) I should have bought more stuff, but I didn't really think about it at the time.

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing it and keep us updated on that and any other Dukes stuff you have going on.
Will do !
I've got quite a bit going on:
1- 90% done with a Hazzard Garage (Cooters) for Colt to play with
2-Built a barn to replace our lack of one on the Barnbusters toy set.
3-75% done with a Mean Green Machine ($1 store jeep/legos/cardboard/foam/etc)
4-Finally found a Martin Cougar Compound bow that's Left Handed (because I shoot archery lefty) to semi-replicate Luke's Bow. -
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.

Oh, yes, below the windscreen....those white plugs are sheet styrene. I cut pieces that would fit the hole, then welded it in with clear liquid cement. Then, sanding to shape, and the final blemishes are touched up with superglue sanded to shape, or Tamiya white putty also sanded to fill. Then once primed and painted, you can't tell there was ever a problem, if I did it right.
That's alot of work, but looks awesome !
How long do you estimate that Boss's Caddy took you to complete ? Just curious. -
I saw there was a big hole in the hood cowl area in the starting point pics
-
What material are you using to fill those holes that were in it etc ?

I like some of his duets and of course the Gambler and the movies.
I like Charlie Daniels, Boxcar Willies, alot of the "older" 70's early 80's country. And alot of bluegrass -

I think there were 2 other places on the outskirts of the county where you could get gas. If anybody is interested I could look that up in my notebook.
I'm interested, Unca Roger. I wonder if one of them is the place with the phone booth ?

It's also unrealistic that nobody ever has to fill up on gas although they do a lot of driving!
Do they even still sell gas at the Boars Nest since old Brodie went missing ?
Gas pumps at Cooter's in occasional use...usually for out-of-towners.
The only other Gas Station I remember is the small store/station that they run down to to use the pay phone in a few episodes.
Wish they would have used Homer Griggs (?) General Store in more episodes -

Someone on IMCDb points out that when Roxanne Huntley sniffs the gas tank at the end of 'High Octane', the car's original color appears to be brown. However, given the damage that Burt's car must've sustained in the chase, especially that hard landing across the back of the barge, I doubt that it would still have been around six years later.
Yes, I also did further digging instead of just wondering. Apparently all of White Lightning was filmed in Arkansas so not very likely that car would end up in Georgia years later. It was a cool thought though.
-
Very cool stuff. I never noticed the license plate color change.

IMCDb has Black Tillie designated as a 1971 Ford Custom 500, but there is some debate about the exact model due to all the chrome being removed/painted over. That is the same make/model and year as the car driven by Burt in 'White Lightning'.
I mean I was wondering if the car they used for Sweet Tilly was one of the cars they used physically in the film "White Lightning
-
the original is a 1971 Ford Galaxie Custom 500
I think its the same kind of car Burt Reynolds drove in "White Lightning"In fact wonder if it's the same actual car ?
