FB Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Gav - Some of MGU's bales fit his flat 8 bale grab and others fall out. There appears to be a slight difference in the bale size? Have you tried yours in the grab? that happens all the time Kev, you need to rotate the bales round it sometimes helps \.....annoying isnt it!, driving across a field with the bales just in the grab!

JC Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Are you mixing pigments or using a green in different quantities?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Are you mixing pigments or using a green in different quantities?? Mixing pigments at the minute as the green pigment available is way off the colour needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 just thought up another cast for you Gav have you thought of the "3 bales standing holding each other up" I think more for the vintage fordson E27 1/32 farmer \ :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I have been playing with green pigment this morning, not sure if these are too pale or not though so need some honest feedback on them, the camera hasn't picked up the green too well though \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 They look like there wrapped to me. that sort of green wrap \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akey Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Are these bales a smooth texture? or have a slightly rough texture?..........if so, "dry brushing" in straw type shades, (by the end user) could be the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 your getting there Gav!, green will be a bu@@er to get right though ??? \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 deff getting there gav, the second green ones do look a lot better it has to be said, ,maybe they need to be just a little lighter?? not to much though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 They look great Gavvers... well done you... I love the stacks... very realistic indeed - you have become the master of casting on here in a short space of time... I reckon you need to be smack bang in the middle of the green colours you have made so far. Is there any way you can make the colour "whispy" if that makes sense when you are casting... to achieve an uneven effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 likeing those a lot gav , going to be a right pig trying to get a satisfactry colour thouh , the last lot look a bit luminous \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am having trouble as the green pigment if used at the right amount is a sort of JD green so mixed a little of that with some yellow on the last ones hence the brighter appearance, its going to be trial and error but getting a consistancy in the mixex may be a problem with it if I have to mix pigments each time \ The other thing is hay varies in colour, we have some in the shed that is pale, sun bleached green and some off the old water meadows that is a much darker shade of pastel green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Know the one you mean, and it does indeed... What about these ones? Maybe try a bit less green and add some blue..... I have been drinking all day BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Sounds like a nightmare, is it possible with just one colour? Still better than ROS's hay bales though, they are almost glow in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Last attempt, this time with a touch of blue in as Jason suggested.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 mm tricky to judge gav,,can you pre mix the pigments before you add it to the resin?? if so does it saty the same colour? only thing i can think to do, to save all that resin, is mix pigments till it looks about right, i take it they can be mixed by weight? or is it liquid, as long as you keep a record of how much you have added you should get to a colour eventually, but personally i would mix blue and yellow rather than try to change the green pigment, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
