Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Posted September 6, 2014 More bits- this piece is an interesting one. Through the run of the show, at least 3 different auto testers seen in the garage. With HossC's help, most have been ID'd as Sun brand machines. One however has defied identification. Hoss speculates that it was just a prop made to simulate one of these types of machines, and I tend to agree. Either way, here is my scale version of it.P9060820 by mommydawn2000, on Flickr Quote

Hobie Hartkins Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 Hey Mark, who are the two figures in your post at the top of this thread? I can tell the one in the back is Daisy, but who are the other two solid white figures? Quote
Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Posted September 8, 2014 Those are Battlestar Galactica characters; they were the only other 1/24 scale figure I had handy. And that isn't necessarily Daisy, although it could certainly pass for her; its a 1/24 figure made for large scale model railroading.M Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks Mark! I never woulda guessed that!! Quote

HossC Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 It's amazing how different it looks with a bit of red paint on the bottom of walls and poles. The furniture is looking good too. I can't wait to see it with a few more details added .BTW, while you've got the black paint out, why not color the rear light panel on the General (unless it's a replica of the one they used in some of the 'Reunion' movie ).

Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 Haha- there are a bunch of things about that 1/25 diecast General that need to be painted; bugs me a lot, but I have to concentrate on the building. Its really just a stand in for the one that will be in there in the end.Mark Quote

Roth Potter Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Looks good. How do you cut thewood? Do you buy special wood for this or something? Quote
Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Posted October 9, 2014 Looks good. How do you cut the wood? Do you buy special wood for this or something?There's no wood involved- its all sheet plastic. I use a scriber to delineate the boards, and some very large-grit sandpaper dragged across the surface.

Roth Potter Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Oh, wow! I knew some parts were plastic but I thought some was wood too. You fooled me with it, good job! Quote
Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Posted October 11, 2014 Oh, wow! I knew some parts were plastic but I thought some was wood too. You fooled me with it, good job!Thanks Mr. Potter! Gotta make it feel like home, and there weren't no plastic in the Hazzard Garage back then!Mark Quote
Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Posted July 11, 2015 Gettin' back to it... The 'shade tree mechanic' needs a shade tree, so... by mommydawn2000, on Flickr Quote
Roth Potter Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Looks good! is this done with soldering or a different way? Quote
Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Posted July 11, 2015 Looks good! is this done with soldering or a different way? Its actually 'sculpting wire'; solder is a bit softer. I'm covering it with an epoxy putty from the plumbing section at Home Depot. Mark Quote
Roth Potter Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 Right, ok. so it's way different from creating tree for H0 railways, there you would use copper and solder to create a nice tree base. Quote
