Not going to find many Kansas fans deep in the heart of Carolina and Duke country.

@Bendtracker1 was kind enough to take the time to do some photo editing to my picture that I posted yesterday, e.g., sky, trees, and the removal of the 1:1 water main.  I really like it.



Thanks, Allen!

I heard that Aberdeen is getting a new monument too.

Looks good DFF! Just like so many little shops all over the Carolinas. Now you just need 4-6 rusted cars and 3-5 active projects, plus some trees and kudzu out back, and it’ll look absolutely perfect

Thanks, to @John, I have the perfect candidate for a rust bucket.  John 3D printed this HO scale punchbuggy and sent it to me as a surprise.  Now, I have a project that might do it justice.

Another option would be to paint the car green and pretend that @Chris333 is in town for a visit.

I thought about Chris' Beetle when I built the model last night.  Not only could I not build the 1:1 Beetle, as Chris most professionally did, I couldn't even build a good model of it.  What I have more in mind is something like this, which has no glass and is still on its wheels, sinking in the pasture:



Can someone help me with what colors they see in that Bug?  Obviously rust, but what is the base color and other weathered effects?

Thanks,

Shanking the cash box?  Your boy is not too bright.  Here's the picture of the prototype that I used for the Coke machine.  As you can see, it's already unlocked!

Just park the VW under the crap pipe on the other side of town

Haha!  But, oh, man, if that poop pipe ever leaks, I'm selling the house!

I had one in 1981, it was a metallic green like that. I think that was the original color.
