HossC Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Didn't know whether to post this here or in Hobbies - I'm sure the forum mods can move it if they wish.Since getting CorelDraw I've been playing around with vector-based artwork, and thought I'd have a crack at General Lee. It's still work-in-progress as I keep thinking of details to add/change.Basically it's a mixture of styles - crossed flags from Geogia episodes, wider nudge bar, red Georgia plates, headrests from Lee 1, white letter tyres etc., but being vector-based they're all easily changable. If anyone has Corel or Illustrator and is interested, please PM me and i'll email you a copy. Alternatively I could send a PDF if you just want a print out (if anyone has 1.65Mb of online storage they could make it downloadable).I've included a couple of smallish jpegs to look at. If you spot any glaring errors, please let me know (politely) - constructive feedback is always appreciated.I've also done the Boars Nest sign, and am currently working on a single view of a Plymouth Fury Hazzard sheriff's car. Non DoH cars I've done (all single view) are: 1966 Mustang; 1970 El Camino; Starsky & Hutch Torino (1/2 finished); Christine (nearly finished).

HossC Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks to Sissy and Alex for your recent comments. The General was my first attempt at computer artwork a little over 18 months ago. Looking back I realized how few reference pictures I used compared to more recent projects. There were also a few details that I was never happy with. This prompted me to take another look at the General. Initially I intended to modify the original artwork, but in the end this new version doesn't share a single line with the old one. The original was a bit of mutt, with parts of different Generals mixed together. This one is roughly based on the early California cars. There's no white letter tires or side markers, but the front and rear under-bumper lights are still in place. It's also got the narrow pushbar. I'm not sure if the CB aerial is authentic - it was based on photos I had of a replica General. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Now that I've got a better Charger template I thought I'd do some variations:1) Cale Yarborough's white Charger from 'Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough'.2) The General painted green in 'Southern Comfurts'.3) The bad guys' car Charger that became the General from 'Happy Birthday, General Lee'.

CDoherty95 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Amazing job Hoss!! Have you ever thought of doing a pink General like Frankie said she would in Luke's Love Story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Amazing job Hoss!! Have you ever thought of doing a pink General like Frankie said she would in Luke's Love Story? Maybe it would look something like this. I've taken styling cues from Lucifer for the race number and 'General Lee' text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDoherty95 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Amazing job Hoss!! Its a good thing that Frankie didn't carry through with her idea. Imagine what the boys wouldve looked like in a pink General... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 1:18 model of a Plymouth Cuda in the same color (Plymouth called it 'Moulin Rouge'), and I have to say that I quite like it. Whether I'd buy a car in that color is another matter though .

RogerDuke Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 These are all amazing Hoss. Nice job. I'm surprised they never wrote an episode where Rosco and Boss swindled the Dukes out of the General Lee and transformed it into a Hazzard County patrol car. How much trouble would it be for you to make a vehicle like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
