Gav836 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 I hate to say this guys but I don't think there will be one at Spalding the way things are going, paintwork is slightly improved on the second one but still having problems with it despite the cleaning fluid, beginning to think its the Halfords paint now, the primers fine, its just the colour i'm struggling with :'( :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 you tried that bucket of hot water trick yet gav?? will take 5 mins and a min of shaking but works for me Yeah, done that as well Sean. It's 200% improved on the last time but its just the elevator i'm having trouble with more than anything for some reason \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 weird, but at least its getting better, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 It certainly is Sean, can't work out why the primer goes on 100% perfect then the gloss goes on with silicone blotches in it \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 you havnt handled them with something on your hands after the primers gone on have you??? might be something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 mm cant see it being paint, wonder if theres something in the parts maybe a different resin they used or something, especially if its coated ok every where else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Those of you that went to Spalding today may have noticed this lurking in the shed on the stand, took it anyway although it wasn't finished. Was put together at 10am yesterday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 It looked awesome Gav it really did ..... As i said bigger than i thought it would be but i like that and in the setting it really did look the bees knees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 think you had a good response from what was being said gav It certainly seemed that way Marcus, I took it out of the shed for the last hour once there was a bit more space on the board and a few less sticky fingers about The last person i spoke to about it was really impressed, said it was one of the best models he'd seen during the day, may order one yet as he owns the real thing, another one was ordered as well today, made it worthwhile. It looked awesome Gav it really did ..... As i said bigger than i thought it would be but i like that and in the setting it really did look the bees knees Thanks Nick, several people said they were surprised at the size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 looked great gav really did, like you say surprised me how big it was, but then again beet kit has grown hugley since i last saw it being used on the farm, and i think it looked big then on the fergys so modern stuff must be hug, top work mate, really nice to see it in the flesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 It wasn't like that when I put it there so I think someone else may have been fiddling \ If I was going to do something to a JD I'd do more than that to it as you well know Sean :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
