[DrumBoPing]

[garethgeezer]

Thanks everyone, glad you like it!

it's just so sad this car is an automatic, it could use a proper gear box with a 6-speed manual, i guess than it would be 1000 times more fun to drive

[scorchi]

You'll be saying it should have a jap engine next! I think it's plenty of fun as it is, weighing nearly two tons with drum brakes all round
Oh, and I haven't forgotten your blue/black render, it is on my list but I want to get the rendering looking how I want it first

Okay, here are the first renders of the General Lee version. I need to work on the lighting but I'll show you them anyways.

[ColdFlame]

crazy details ...stunning render ...woah man awesome

[mpfive]

wow man, amazing model, and i dont have any words to describe the rendering (ColdFlame took them out of my mouth, lol)

[MuscleCarFreak]

Damn you - I dropped my jaw after looking at the second pic and now I don't find it any more...

Only little detail I noticed that's got to be changed: the doors are meant to be weld .

[dammilo]

maybe the bull bar is a bit too reflective..but awesome work, 5 stars +

[Silent][Moebius]

the lighting in the first render is great, imo the following 2 ones are a bit too dark. the 2nd render is awesome, really perfect engine bay

[dammilo]

ups another lil thing...i dont'k know if the general had that big white mask on the front.. watch here

I think that these pix are taken from the originale frames of the tv serial... maybe they are only dark but..bof

[andybuck]

i think the white outline on the numbers looks a bit too thin, other than that awesome

The storyline says that the doors are welded shut, but they still had the gap around the door. The real General Lee cars that were used for filming never had the doors welded shut, in fact on some episodes you can hear the doors close, off camera, even though they never actually opened the doors when being filmed, so as to give the impression that they were welded shut.
It's an interesting point though - There are lots of details on the General Lee that are difficult to get right as so many cars were used throughout the series and in the film. The first one ever (LEE1) had a much narrower bull bar, same width wheels and tyres all round, no back seat, standard chrome sill covers, full cage with light tan padding, crooked '1' on the driver's door, etc etc. Cars used later on in the series had all sorts of different details that seemed to change from week the other, sometimes from one scene to the next as the production crew used whatever they could lay their hands on. There's even cases where '68 cars had their back lights and rear panel painted to look like '69 units.
My version is just a replica, how I would build a General Lee if I was ever lucky enough to own a Charger. But, if I did own a Charger, I wouldn't build a General Lee, I'd do other things, so I plan to do renders of that too
