davy140 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Here's some photos of a picking table i made for the Ros Grimme GT170. It needs another coat of paint and then the cover made for it. A couple of pics before painting and fitting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Very nice job. Those footplates look well - accurate drilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Very good almost spot on, only thing I would add would be a support bar so when the pickers lean back they don't fall off the harvester ( 2 90 degree bars off the frame and down to the step either side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davy140 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Thanks for all positive feedback guys Very nice job. Those footplates look well - accurate drilling. Thanks for noticing the drilling. Very time consuming but i think it gives a good effect. Very nice job. Those footplates look well - accurate drilling. Well noticed Ghost. I still have to measure these on the real machine and then get them fitted before the cover goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 good job davy....this is another of them jobs that i thought id have done by now but sadly time didnt allow as yet,all my time since moira has been involved in a large order for me for some 22 models which will be along later next year and then ill get back to a good headscratcher of a build......what do you think of the ros gt? its certainly nice that there,s a base there to convert upon as starting from scratch would really consume the days....

davy140 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 very tidy David, is it permanently fixed in place then?? or removable?? . what are you planning to make the cover from to Thanks Sean. It's removable. I got film yesterday for making the cover with. Its the stuff used to cover model planes with. I haven't tried it yet but i think it should work. good job davy....this is another of them jobs that i thought id have done by now but sadly time didnt allow as yet,all my time since moira has been involved in a large order for me for some 22 models which will be along later next year and then ill get back to a good headscratcher of a build......what do you think of the ros gt? its certainly nice that there,s a base there to convert upon as starting from scratch would really consume the days.... cheers brian. 22 models- that is a big order. I like the Ros GT. Its a very accurate model. Although I'll probably do what you were talking about and make new rams for it as this is the only part i see that lets the model down.

Hillview Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 It looks excellent Davy. Well done. How many hours did you spend on it? I love the plastic doors tied up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 looking good mate, what have you used for the covering then?? it seems to have the ripples ect in like a real one, well to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davy140 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks guys. Hillview- I really haven't a clue how long it took. I just did bits here and there when I'd time. Lots of hours involved but it was a labour of love. Tractorman810- the cover is film that's used to cover model aeroplanes, I got it from a local model shop. It worked well cause it's nice and thin.

Tractorman810 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 is that like a heat shrink material then?? or just cut and glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) That will be Solartex,the model aeroplane guy's use it for covering wing's etc,you use a Solartex hot iron to join it,it's what I used for the front cover of my Krone BigX 1100 with the XDisc,i didn't need an iron though, Regards Joe.http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_npmv=3&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=Solartex Edited February 26, 2012 by catkom3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmersam Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 That looks fantastic, that film works a treat. Would it be any good to use as a rollover trailer cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davy140 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks farmersam. It would be ideal for a rollover cover and it comes in various colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
