The soundtrack is the best part of the movie. It got me hooked on bluegrass and old timey music.

[Grimm]

Did annybody know hayseed-dixie thes play ACDC as bluegrass ,if not try them they are realy funny..
And you need the copplestone Hillbillys   :mrgreen:

You need bootleggers with speedboats or something. Would Maryland Bootleggers have used speedboats? I dunno. Speedboats are still what you need. I like speedboats.

  If you want something cheap and quick for boats, Reviresco has a packet with an old style speedboat and lobster boat:

Does anyone make "Escaped Convict" models?   :  

[Plynkes]

Someone put up some greens of (not necessarily escaped) convicts here the other day. Were they Brigade? I forget.

All convicts are potentially escaped convicts. I like the expression on the Brigade prisoners. They look like men of constant sorrow.

Pete, they have clearly been in trouble all their days, and miss the place wher ethey were born and raised.

As seems only reasonable.

Changing the subject slightly, be on the lookout for a 1932 Ford highway patrol cruiser (California if you read the decals, but they are tiny) from Racing Champions. I got one on EBay last week for $5, to match one I already have. They were made c 1998 as a limited run of 10,000.

Scale is a touch small - probably 1/60 - but these were small cars, and I prefer them to the ginormous 1/43rd models you see people using.

Does anyone know where to find state uniform colours of the 1920s and 1930s? I've tried googling but only came up with a few results that weren't very helpful. Need to know as I've got these Brigade minis as well and want to do them in half-accurate colour scheme at the very least....

[PeteMurray]

Hey Gundamentalist,

Unfortunately, uniform information is pretty rare on the web. I got my inspiration from a picture I saw in a museum a while back. I'm not even sure the colors are perfectly on. In general, the State Police during this period tended to go with one of two basic color designs: Khaki or Blue. Maryland is odd in that it sort of combined both.

For a khaki-style uniform, you'd have a dark khaki jacket, light tan shirt with black tie, bloused motorcycle trousers to match (sometimes with a dark olive stripe on the leg), and brown leather belts and boots. The campaign hat is traditionally an olive or brown color, pretty much like what I painted.

The blue uniform is a navy blue jacket, royal or light blue shirt with black tie, royal blue trousers, with either a yellow or black stripe, and black leather belts and boots. For extra "ugh," sometimes the hat is still olive or brown. Otherwise it's dark blue with a gold hat cord.

The nice part is that uniforms changed colors fairly frequently, as different fabrics and styles got more or less popular. There are also 48 states at this point, so your prospective uniform is going to be close to somebody's official reg. If you want a Pete Murray Rule of Thumb, I'd use the blue scheme for the Northeast (New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware), the Midwest east of the Mississippi (Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana), and the Khaki for the South and West.

Hope this helps.
