mb86 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Trying out ideas for filling and emptying it. Might be a challenge to make a realistic cut face. I was thinking about compressing some flock in a thin layer then trying to cut the face in the same manner a shear grab would. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 looking good martin , i am having the same issues with my heap, all be it a muck heap, i don't need the compressed face you need mind, but do have an idea for mine, that compressed option could work for you i recon, if you made a mould about a cm thick, then rammed it into that layers at a go, it would certainly form the face, then maybe another smaller one which could be made in shear grab size, which you make several slabs from which glue to the front in various areas and layers to get the finish you want ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your shear grab sized chunks might just work for it all, on the real job you can usually tell where you have had a grabfull from the previous pass, so making them individually for the model might just replicate that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf aphid Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Just been trying to get a few bits finished! Rare for me I know. Can anyone tell me what colours the grills should be on on the super major? I see them in blue and silver and orange!? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Fairly sure they should be silver and that no majors had orange grilles originally, but I'm not certain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I am currently working on improving the Ertl John Deere 1775 NT Plant. I have started by replacing the Ertl row units with UH Monosem Row Units which are of far greater detail. I plan to add a fertiliser tank, pipe work, hand rails on the steps along with painting the plastic sections in John Deere green. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I am also working testing new wheels on my JCB 4220, i have struggled to find suitable row crops for it. These wheels are from a Challenger Rogator. They are roughly 350/80R48. They seem a little big, but I am.struggling for alternatives. what do you think? My other option is to turn it into a JCB/Knight Sprayer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 You'll struggle to find row crops, ( Cultuurwielen ) 11mil wide The Europeans seem to prefer narrower wheels than that, 350/80R48 scaled out at 55.6 / 38.1 / 10.93, These wheels from Artisan32 work out at 55 / 42 / 8 And should be available from Mandy at Hollylovestoys, https://www.artisan32.com/1-roues/342-roue-etroite-03-arriere-x-2.html Regards Joe.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look. I have ordered a couple of sets in the past for it from Farmmodels.nl, but they looked too narrow for it when they arrived. I think I am coming to the conclusion that I should convert it to to a JCB Knight Sprayer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Mandy at HLT does stock similar wheels / tyres but again to narrow for what you need. https://hltminiatures.com/products/set-of-4-row-crop-wheels-1-32-scale-by-artisan-32-37012-slash-j-plus-b Regards Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
