Fendthead Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Here goes then,started a bit later than planned ,But I know someone wants to see every step. Right I have never seen one of these headers close up in used condition so I am working with pics only, and to be honest it's one of the hardest effects I have had to do very very easy to do to much or to little so I have been playing with a 3rd of it to get it right before I do the rest. Few pics so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendthead Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I do Know how it goes back together, honest Ooo and for those thinking why the hell has he painted everything black?? It's a preshade for the silver laquer and the yellow as the molded yellow plastic just is to plastic and will not take weathering at all...

As soon as I have a box you'll have my machine Dave That's it folks, pile it all on Dave!! :D This will be interesting to see done, I can see it will be tricky to make it look worn/shiny aswell as being covered in sticky maize residue.

Fendthead Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Folded, I'm not sure if the mud looks right on the side of the header Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I couldn't find the pics I thought I had, Dave. Those I did find are useless because of the distance mate, sorry. All I remember is that there were shiny bits where you could see the maize had worn the paint through top coats and primers down to bare metal and it was all covered in juice with the odd cob or stem etc caught under guards enad stuff.

Jez Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Dave that looks pretty perfect to me mate!!! Some bits of cut maize and it would look amazing!! Don't forget the side window wipers mate........ ;) And Nick, those pics are brilliant, liking the one where you are swung out side the cab over the header. It is looking great Dave honest......... but a wheel has fallen off :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendthead Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Cheers for the pics mick, thats given me some idea on were the maze chips get to I won't forget the side windows mate More happy with the sides of the header now after a bit of respraying, added a few loose maze chips on just to see how they look, will do the rest at the end.made a start on the gards. It's getting there now I think the front is about done , just the tyres and the back to do, which should be fare easier than the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
