HossC Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I hope they're all high-pressure hoses, and not those "plain old store-bought rubber hoses" that nearly saw the end of Cooter's in 'Welcome Back, Bo 'n' Luke' (when they were switched by Joey).

Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) I'm sure Cooter carries only the best hoses; but maybe needs to make sure he keeps the doors locked when he's not there. There's a bunch of doors and open windows in that place. Edited August 10, 2015 by Mark B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 This project is like peeling back an onion with the amount of details- every time I get one layer done, I noticed another layer of things in the same pictures I've been staring at for 5 years. Its weird what you DON'T see when you are looking for something specific. I just noticed the other day that the back door has a door closer thingy at the top. After doing a quick google search for some reference, I find it is in fact called a 'door closer', and the one in question is a 'vintage' style. Its one of those every day objects we've all seen a thousand times in our life, but never focused on. Fortunately for me, a 'vintage door closer' is shaped awfully similar to a piece of plastic model kit sprue in 1/25 scale! Then there are the fan belts: turns out that 1/25 fan belts are pretty much identical to small hair 'elastics' (discovered thanks to my two daughters!). The bad news: they only had rainbow colored ones. The good news: found a package of 500 in black at the dollar store for... one dollar. Felt a little weird buying them as they are apparently made for African-American folks' hair, so I got a coke and some peanuts to draw attention away from it.

Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Only one night shot of the garage in the entire series as I recall (Jude Emery). I wasn't going to do lights for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ought to show this to Ben Jones I bet he'd get a kick out of the detail that you put into it . In fact I have written him a couple times with pictures of this project in progress and both times he wrote back some very complimentary things. I actually sent him another update last week but haven't heard back yet. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss JD Hogg Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi Mark, This is a remarkable project! It looks like screen shots in some of the pictures you posted. Excellent work and attention to detail on this. I am also a model builder and build Sci-Fi and Real Space models. I'll be starting an MPC 1/25 General Lee build soon with some improvements to the kit. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this project.

Sci-Fi is my usual subject for models, so this project has been a nice 'down-to-earth' break from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Some nice words I got today from Cooter himself: "Alma and I are just blown away by your work.It is fantastic, and that is not a word I use very often.You continue to capture the reality with an accuracy that is in factheightened by its "unreality', i.e., the dream world of re-creation.We are even more astonished that you are capturing the essence ofthe garage and the spirit of the show at such a minute scale. Youhave a remarkable gift. To me, you have created a work of seriousart. There is no other word for it.I am having deja vu looking at these pictures. Bravo. Bravo!Ben Jones" Spike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
