Paul Palmer Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) nice martin,heres one picture of the one i done Edited September 20, 2012 by paulali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke190 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I hope to reduce the pickup header width on mine soon. I think the whole machine needs lowering down a little, it sits too high above the wheels. I actually like how it looks in its box, just when i get it out there's too many little things off with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod192 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 i have narrowed the grass header and put it back together,what is meant to be the mesh on the top of it has been cut out and real mesh added.a custom built driver has been made for it and all the cab lights are finished.

Jdeere6910 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 The driver and header look good, much better than that wide grass header by a long way. Can't say the lights do anything for me, but each to their own, great work though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) well martin isnt it funny how things turn up,i asked you about the mesh,where i was working today the owner does little bits himself around the house,and showed me this new rubbing down stuff,and asked me what i thought,instant thought,mesh for models,he said he got it in b and q,on a big roll but couldnt remember what it is called,and you can get bigger or smaller mesh,ideal i think for model work Edited September 26, 2012 by paulali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael6270 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 that looks really good. the smaller header makes it alot better and more like the standard real machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
