Welcome to HNet. I had a quick look online, but only came across a site selling much flatter 3d printed horns, and not in 1:18 scale. Andrew D Charger Chaser made a 1:25 replica of Boss' Cadillac a couple of years ago. You can see the finished model in the Hobbies forum. He also linked to some build shots - the post where he scratch-built the bull horns is here.

What a pain. Something similar happened to me once when I was repainting a diecast model. It might have been the paint reacting to the undercoat in my case - this is not an skill I know much about. I moved house soon afterwards, and I've still never returned to the project.

Another day by the sea for me today, this time almost as far south-east as you can go in Ireland. The sun never properly broke through the clouds today, so no swimming. After exploring the village and quick walk on the beach we headed to the local town where I ended up spending far more than I'd planned to., but it was all stuff I needed.

Sorry, Roger, this is one for MM. My powers are limited to moderating/editing posts. Other than checking that Hobie has cleared cookies and site data, I'm not sure what to suggest.

ABERNATHY Road (Mentioned in 'Find Loretta Lynn')

That reminds of a joke I saw recently: My son was just born and another dad at the hospital congratulated me and said his daughter was born yesterday… said maybe they'll marry each other. Sure, like my son is going to marry someone twice his age...

The Hazzard Ladies' AuXiliary (Took one of the slot machines in 'One Armed Bandits')

He only has orange paint!

Burt REYNOLDS (Rosco's choice to play him in 'The J.D. Hogg Story' and played Boss Hogg in the 2005 movie. He was also a student at James Best's acting school)

Breaker ONE

Senator MAYNARD

It was a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. If you check out my Other Vehicles of Hazzard fanart thread, you'll see my comments about them using two different cars and how they were probably the same ones that played Petey Willis's race car in 'Welcome Back, Bo 'n' Luke'.

JUNGLE JITTERS (Animated episode)

Tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of the assassination of Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collins, so today I helped to steward at a re-enactment of the ambush where he was killed. There were also speeches by the mayor and the Cathaoirleach (chairman of the council), and some Irish dancing. We had great weather for the event, and it seemed to be well received by the people who came to see it. Before the event I got to take a short ride in the car they were using - a 1918 model made by the Chalmers Motor Company of Detroit. When new, it apparently cost three times the price of a Model T. The car came to the UK in 1989 and then on to Ireland more recently.

I've never seen any sharks. There was a famous dolphin named Fungie which lived in and around Dingle harbour in Co. Kerry between 1983 and 2020. I didn't get to see it though. You can see pictures and a couple of videos here.

HANGMAN'S HILL (Mentioned in 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Duke')

Hogg's FRIENDLY FERTILIZING Company (Sponsor of the race in 'Happy Birthday, General Lee')

The patrol car's already looking good with its police hubcaps and new decals. The orange Charger on the left appears to be a 1970, but a front end change should correct most of the differences.

DAINA House (Appeared as one of the car strippers and as Dewey Hogg's nurse)

It appears to have been based on the 1997/98 championship when the PC and Playstation games were released. They featured commentary by former racing driver and former Top Gear presenter Tiff Needell. The Game Boy Color version came out in 2000 with simplified graphics and gameplay. It looks like all versions got good reviews at the time.

I went to the seaside again on Sunday, but got back too late to write about it. This time I only got one swim because the beach we went to is on an estuary, and when the tide is out, the edge of the water is over a quarter of a mile away! It just seemed like a better idea to enjoy the sun on the beach. This week we got fish & chips and a fancy ice cream on the way home.

Just in case anyone's confused - we're looking for a 'B' word next.

I haven't been following Formula-E much, but the final two rounds of this year's season took place in South Korea, so they happened to be shown live while I was making breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. It must have been a while since I last watched as they now complete a 45 minute race without the need to swap cars midway through. Congratulations to former F1 driver Stoffel Vandoorne whose second place finish in the last race was enough to clinch this year's title. It was also a win for the Mercedes team who are leaving the sport to concentrate on Formula 1. I still don't think I've been converted from gasoline-based cars. The lack of noise and pollution means that Formula E can race in city center locations which probably wouldn't be available to conventional cars, but I prefer more open tracks which aren't like racing down a corridor of barriers. They also have 'gimmicks' like Fanboost and Attack Mode which probably appeal to the gamers, but don't really do anything for me. Formula 1 has been using hybrid engines since 2014, and the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) has introduced them this year. I think NASCAR are doing some hybrid demos next year.
