intey 434 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 well last year we bought a vicon sower and ever since ive been toying with the idea of a model one. i couldnt get something the right shape for the hopper so instead i had to scratch build it. i started off with a cube of a resin type material, i made a mold then started to isopon it, once hardened i took the mold out and was left with the hopper. in total id say ive spent 8 hours making it \ . a lot of work! im still awaiting on brass for the frame so for now i can just show yous the hopper. first up the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
