Jd6320driver Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 After finding out about the Emmanuel S kit, this was a build that I've been wanting to undertake for a while, but with my own personal touch. i also decided to share some pictures of the build, rather than just the finished model. I'm planning on fitting it with artisan rims and tires all round, with a detachable pick up reel header. I also hope to fit the reel with a full set of pickup tines and auger fingers during the build. Currently I don't know if I'm going to install the counter weights on the back of the harvester and i would like to hear your suggestions on this. Heres some pictures of the build so far. hopefully i will have this in the cabinet beside my MAP john deere 5830 Hugh Rear bonnet test fit after making plastistruct cross members and grill brace Rear axle mocked up to make and test fit the brass tie rod Side panel Fitment mockup with floorpan Cab,blower and feed roller mockup Header, grab rails and cab interior set into place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Very good so far Hugh, what are your decals like in the kit? The ones in mine are at best poor, there is one missing and I think they are too big to fit where they need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt like the main decals that came with it either and instead i ordered a set off henri walker as he has the dimensions from when BOR built his ones and ordered his decals off henri.

Thanks Hugh, Henri was the plan but that is much easier if he already has the plans for them. What do you think of the kit? It's pretty basic for the price but I like that I can add my own extra detail to it, makes it different from anyone else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd6320driver Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I have to agree with you in saying the kit is basic, and with my one, i thought that some of the parts could be slightly better finished, but the as it allows you to do modifications to it easily its generally not too bad and i agree with being able to make it stand out from the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
