Richard de Florennes Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Wow those pics are wonderfull, One question about the harvester, how do the beets get from the cage to the truck? The cage is only used as long as the lorries are changed when one is full and the next lorry advances. The cage is emptied at the down side, the beets fall back on the lower elevator and are elevated via the large "ferries" lifting/transport wheel one more time. Strange, eh? \ Normally this process is done when the whole mashine is standing, as harvesting six or eight rows and opening the cage at the same time normally is beyond capacity of the elevating system. Everything clear now? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 It looks great Sascha. Don't forget to customise a Kenworth truck so that you can recreate that photo in one of your stunning dioramas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 here I go again ... ... with something like this (modell will of course not be a precision modell of the original mashine, as I have neither exact pictures nor measures of it but just kind of a representation of this kind of mashines, everything going well in the next days): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Sorry to butt in mate but what scale is the Scania concrete truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yes I know but in the left corner of the photo is a concrete truck, I wondered what scale it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Ah.. now I know, the toy of may son visible in picture by pure chance, sorry, did not think of this. It is a toy manufacturer "Dickie" MAN truck, do not know the scale, as they do every toy in another scale. This MAY be 1:43 - as it looks to small for 1:32 (see picture I made only for YOU now) to big compared to my son's smaller 1:50 building mashines SIKU toys ... Hope it helps. Do you like it? I will ask my son if he needs it any longer ;-) Any feedback for the beet harvester so far, anyone? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Ah yes, it looks like the ones I have seen here in toy shops. Because it was at the front of the first photo it looked bigger It may be 1/36th because Shuco do a Scania almost the same as this one, that is what I thought it was. Thankks for the pic to compare the two sizes. With regards to your next build. .. you seem to have got off to another whirlwind start. Very quick, where do you find the time?! I take a long tine to do anything model related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 very nice progress!!!! how did you make the auger type parts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 very nice progress!!!! how did you make the auger type parts?? I took larger plastruct round tubes and very, very small, long plactruct round strips, glued the larger tubes in a auger like way (I marked the auger structure with a pen before) and then it was time for glued fingers and lot of patience as you normally need three hands and 30 fingers for holding the large tube and wraping around the small rod in a very tight and exact way ... It took more than one hour for the three augers ... And that is what it looks like now at lunch time (had only half an hour time this morning due to family constraints ;-)) More tonight - now it's time for German carnival celebrations with my few friends ;-)) ...
