  1. This isn't quite a conversion but i've made myself a little heat chamber so that when i am spraying in cold conditions i can put it in there and switch the light on, the light is a 100 watt bulb and lets out a fair bit of heat to dry the paint slightly quicker, i used it today on my 7930 bonnet and was very impressed with the finish after just an hour or so in there.

    With the perspex over the front to stop the heat escaping.

  2. Ahh cool. Well a tunnel i don't know whether you would be familiar with them  ??? but they run down the centre of a grain store, you can walk either on top of it or inside it hence the name of a tunnel, then there are small outlets all the way down each side which you attach a sort of piping to called ducting and then you tip grain on top of the ducting, then you blow hot air down the tunnel and it goes out of these outlets to dry the grain, you might have seen one before but if not i will get a picture when i am at work next.

  3. It's still on the Saint Guthlacs site Andy, don't know if you've heard about St. Guthlacs/George Farmer merging? But anyway i'm still on the same site but it's now under a different name with different management etc, most of the teachers have left due to the fact their contract was 'site based' so when the site closes in 2014 to move to holbeach they will be left with no jobs, so i'm not quite sure what to expect yet  :-\

  4. Holding the tailboard shut on the beet trailers when on short journeys  8)

    on the loadall because the spring loading has gone in the throttle, we use a spring tied to a bit of baler twine tied round the steering column

    tying sheets down on trailers

    holding doors/gates shut

    next time i'm at work i'll have a good look round  :laugh:

  5. Bit of an update.

    I recently got this belt off ebay.

    Then had a bit of a change around (don't ask about the Lexion 600 i will explain further down the post.)

    Re-organised my literature into folders so it's slightly easier to find the series i want.

    And then finally, i've put the lexion 600 and 8330 in place to represent Siku's T670i and 8360R which i am going to put into a diorama like this and put in that place, it's just a slightly different way of displaying and since i'm going to also have britains' 8360R, i can display the britains one and have the siku one in the diorama.
