sipher172 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Here are a few photos of my latest project. I am building a Standen Unistar 2400 (3 row) destoner/separator in time for spring potato planting. The bulk of the model is made from Plasticard. The steering wheels on the Destoner are from a UH Valtra C120. The separator stars are made from star washers. I have made two of the 6 star rollers so far. My version of the Destoner will have will have a front roller, then a front web, followed by 6 star rollers. Then there will be a under web from the 3rd star roller back. My model won't have the Vari-web or the boulder box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I never had a Unistar but I did have a Uniweb, looking good so far, only thing I’ll say is the corners of the front frame should be more rounded, should be a simple tweak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After trying to bend Plasticard tubes with and without heat and snapping them I decided to cut them at 45 degrees. While it is not perfect, I think it gives a decent representation.

sipher172 Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 A little more progress has been made to the Unistar. I have added the 4 side panels to each side, they are all hinged so will be able to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will make the web's like I have done for the T3. I use 1mm round plastic bar and then glue them to strips of nylon sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipher172 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Thanks for the comments, I am travelling for work for the next few weeks so won't make much progress. Plan is to get it finished for spring plantings, finger crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 after being on the road for work for most of the last 6 weeks I finally got time for a bit more work on the project today. I have decided to go with 10 sets of separator stars instead of having a front web. I have also added the rear elevator along with front side disc. main items left to finish are the under webbing and the webbing for elevator.

bluegreen Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Very nice indeed, lots of destoning going on round here presently including 4 bed Standen destoner on a Fendt 724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 the model is pretty much complete now, just have to build the webs. I have added the first coat of primer, so fingers crossed should be ready for this spring. all of the side panels now open. the rear steering axle works smoothly as well.
