FB Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Whar about just putting primer on? sounds good?, i was thinking on saving you time and money!!!!, but primer is good i guess? can you do curve ones?, you could get a selection of radius's's's's for general and maybe then custom ones that are slightly more?, may be tricky going to tight though but sticking to shallow curves? otherwise it may crease? what size will you aim to have the sheets?? A4 size, A5 size?, 50mm x 150mm?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Numpty for Ben!! Clearly stated above, 40 x 200mm. I'm off to fill out a certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Numpty for Ben!! Clearly stated above, 40 x 200mm. I'm off to fill out a certificate i know that Tris, but i think a selection would be better hence i asked, 40mm seems a little to short and 200 maybe to long? \ \, so i dont see that as a numpty offence!

Deere-est Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You're not weaseling out of this one Mr H, you never mentioned a selection. I've socked to you now, appeal turned down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Just stumbled on this topic and impressed that a young member has come up with such a good idea... well done. I have used the real roofing profile on both my garage and one of my tractor sheds at home. I purchased the sheets and barges and fixing studs etc from a company called Planwell which manufacture them from precoated rolls of steel in Buckie in the North East of Scotland. it is a cash and carry type of place so you pay when you order so the first time I ordered i went up, and got a guided tour of the factory and saw how the profile and barges were made. All very interesting... the machine that rolled out then profile resembled a gigantic crank shaft for an 6 to 8 cylinder engine. If you click on the link below and download their catalogue you will see a picture of the machine I'm trying to explain above. http://www.planwell.co.uk/roofing/price-guide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland 4 ever Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 I can do sheets any size really but the press is only 4cmX20cm so if I do bigger sheets it will mean more lining up to get it right but on the other hand it also means less cuting \ I could have standart size and then (being as the client is always right) I can do a different size or length or width. Thanks for the link it's very intersting (for me at least...) What do you think about exact 1:32 replica of the price?... ...I think I will have to step away from realism... What colours are most common in England then? Over here it's green and white, sometimes brown/red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Standard colours would be similar to Fendt green. Krone biege. Claas light grey. And a normal Grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 quite a simple machine really, just a press..... I'm having ideas ;D : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland 4 ever Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 quite a simple machine really, just a press..... It does seem like a simple thing to build (that's what i thought before I got stuck into it) but adjusting and welding 2X2mm steel section is not a walk in the park... but it might be easier to build in pvc? I onlywork with steel because it's stronger and you can weld or solder it. What are the advantages of pvc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 What steel are you using??? Bright Mild Steel? Stainless? Etc Etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ма��u$*2k9*kid Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland 4 ever Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 normally it should be mild steel, but this may vary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Ah good stuff. I would say mild steel would be the easiest and cheapest really. once its primed etc it wont rust anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Standard colours would be similar to Fendt green. Krone biege. Claas light grey. And a normal Grey. Add a brown to that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland 4 ever Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Add a brown to that list. Would "fiat terra cota" be right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Would depend on local planning laws :D Actually, a roof like that with biege side cladding would be great for a modern building. Build a shed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland 4 ever Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Build a shed!! I already have two on the go... to test these on (and other things...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 around here its grey and greens, to be honest there arent really standard colours as all companies have different shades, have you seen a paint chart :D , its what the farmer wants (usually a green shade or a green shade and grey shade) and the LPA allow him to have with planning permission \.....so it fits into the landscape, you should have a set list though of easy to get colours like Tris listed and primed ones like you mentioned earlier for buyers to poaint themselves? otherwise you end up with all sorts! :D , keep it simple!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland 4 ever Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 keep it simple!!! ;D Now that's what I like... Unfortunately things aren't usually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'm looking forward to these buildings you mentioned. Are the Top Secret or will we get to see their progress? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland 4 ever Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 You'll get to see them... eventually (the first one is in my farm topic now), the second one is....a secret (at least for now) and once they are done, there will be a more traditional one but I'll say no more.
