Richard de Florennes Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Well, I am still waiting for a large order of plastruct parts, colours, stickers, SIKU spare parts and more, but this is the beginning - my office has been prepared for spending every free minute for 1/32 modell farming and/or rather designing and building, as there is not much going on in the fields anymore now ;-) .... sorry, can't find the loading cable of my camera at the moment, so pictures will follow tomorrow [ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 very tidy not like mine what are you goind building it's a secret until I can show you first results; so as long as I am not sure if I have any crafting talent nothing will be published here from my side. I can only say: It is no tractor and nothing offered by commercial modell brands or our well-known state-of-the-art conversionists (like Gavin or Dave) so far ... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Seems that I have to accept that nick name then - still waiting for some plasttruct and SIKU spare parts and from Sunday on one week away on business ... so not time and no parts for building by later in the month ...

Richard de Florennes Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 now all parts have arrived but here is the first problem: I need those four wheels but I do not manage to get them rid of the axis. They same to be absolutely stick/stuck to the axis. The wheels are from the Grimme potato planter (SIKU) but I need them for something else .... What can I do without damaging the wheels? ( need the full tyres - rims and wheels complete!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 well, there is no excuse anymore for me not to begin right now ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 due to lack of any answers I tryed it with my own method - here is the result; I am quite satisfied! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 did you cut them out?, cant quite see?? \ i'm not sure what you could have done?, maybe warm them up to soften the plastic?, before trying to pull the axle from the wheel? \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 did you cut them out?, cant quite see?? \ i'm not sure what you could have done?, maybe warm them up to soften the plastic?, before trying to pull the axle from the wheel? \ \ drilled a small hole in the middle of each wheel, layed some soft paper on the weel, hold a strong but small screw-driver in the hole, then one stroke with the hammer, and the weels fell of in one niece piece. Did the same with the wheels of a MB trac, as I need four more wheels for the second stage of this implement ;-) As you can see here, it has something to do with row-crop and I have just measured the exact distance of the rows ...
