Fendthead Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hi all First time on here, but seeing what you are all up to I thought I would have a go,bought a Siku Kuhn flail thought this would be good to start with as it's not to big and errr well not to costly if all goes wrong . any way been in the shed having a play, thought I would post a few pics to see what you think, When finished the plan is to have the pto shaft and hydrolic pipes connected up to the tractor Oh and yes it was 1am when I posted this, thats my excuse for posting it here and not in the impliment section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fendthead Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Right bit of a change of plan, thought it all looked a bit to unused, so got the weathering sets out and a little dry brushing and a bit of redoxide over welded patches for a used look sorta thing. few pics of what I had time to do,1st is just painted 2nd is with a little weathering applied. if the weather is bad tmro I hope to get a lot more done.

Deere-est Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Oi! Go to bed, we've heard about you late at night You've done a very nice job of this. Contractor I worked for had one on the front of a 716 so your photo's are a pretty damn good resemblence of that outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Now that's seriously impressive, you've taken a pretty dull model and made it something very special. I've got to get my head around these weathering paints, I've got a few things lined up to go at when I get the chance... I'll second what Andrew said about starting a dedicated topic, I did start one about the Tamiya sets asking for advice, be interested to see exactly how you achieved your effects. You going to weather the Fendt too..? Get some clippings up the front of it? Great work chap, keep it coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
