Crossbones Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Very nice - I've always loved that car! Quote
esampsonite Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 All that orange! Until I did this build I never realized how little orange I had in my collection and how rare some parts are in that color, which made it way more expensive than I will admit to my wife. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 I love Dukes of Hazard and the General Lee looks amazing ...the wheels are perfect and the nose of that amazing Dodge Challenger looks beautiful! Great MOC! Bo and Luke are the icing on the cake! :thumbup: Quote
Fuppylodders Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 which made it way more expensive than I will admit to my wife. Hahaha, that made me laugh lol.... Im sure many others sympathize with your choice It looks really well done at that scale. The lines look really clean and it is nicely smooth. The door 'vents?' look really good too, nicely carried out! Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Oh, I love the show! (When it aired up until four months ago ) and this is a fantastic rendition! I love the smooth look! YeeeeeeeeHAAAAA :thumbup: Couldn't have said it any better myself. Quote
dr_spock Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Well done. Would love to see a car flying shot. Did LEGO ever licensed Dukes of Hazards? Quote
fordtruckin Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Awesome! Favorite TV vehicle! Great job Quote

legonerd54321 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Did LEGO ever licensed Dukes of Hazards? No, which makes LEGO look really stupid. Quote
esampsonite Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 The door 'vents?' look really good too Thanks! The door scoops were one of the big challenges on this build. I'd say a good 1/4 of the time on the build was getting something that was the right size, stable, and that I was happy with the appearance on those scoops. In the end it was very rewarding to come up with a workable design here, so it was time well spent. This is what I wound up with on how to build them (technicolor for ease of part distinction): Quote
esampsonite Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 Update: Recreating the build in LDD: Quote
Only Sinner Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I hope I can get a parts list / instruction for this fantastic model. How did you make the stickers so nice, too? Quote
PLP Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 where did you find the 6x6 orange tile? BL doesn't even have it as a known part. Quote
B Rick Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 That's pretty good! It's hard to build a convincing '69 Charger in Lego. Quote
antp Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 where did you find the 6x6 orange tile? BL doesn't even have it as a known part. A (very) few were sold in the past months: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=6881&colorID=4 so maybe a non-production part but that still exists in low numbers (or just errors for the Salmon version, though that on the photo it seems to be the right Orange) Quote
esampsonite Posted May 4, 2016 Author Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) A (very) few were sold in the past months: http://www.bricklink...=6881&colorID=4 so maybe a non-production part but that still exists in low numbers (or just errors for the Salmon version, though that on the photo it seems to be the right Orange) Yeah, both those purchases on bricklink were me, and yes, I paid handsomely for the pieces. I have the one I used on this and I keep a spare with no sticker on it for if I put it on display somewhere that the confederate flag won't go over well. They are definitely official Lego and the color match looks to be exact with orange. The seller also had the same piece in some other non-released colors. I've had several people interesting in building their own or purchasing this model from me so I asked the seller where they got them and if it would be possible to get more and their response was: I bought them several years ago, along with other rare colours, from someone who said that they had got them directly from Lego for a 'project'. So, unfortunately, this model is one (or two) of a kind for the moment. Edited May 4, 2016 by esampsonite Quote
antp Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 As 1974 explained there: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=94037&st=100#entry2555947 some time ago it was possible to purchase non-production parts from TLG. If you check older posts in that thread you'll find some interesting pictures (if you haven't yet seen them) Quote
