I finally found some free time to start building again. (Didn't really need the snow day. ._.) I decided to start on a close replica of our little swather that we use on our farm. Its a 15 foot John Deere 2320 gas swather.  I used the base and motor off a old versitile swather that was sitting in the junk yard. (Still have to do some more work to the motor yet). The cab and front wheels came off a JD 7720 combine. The header is all scratch built so far except I might get a reel kit from tractor fab.  |

That is looking good for a start.

If it were me, I would chop 1/4" or so out of the engine, build one from scratch (or print everything but the cab). It is a little out of scale for length. It does look pretty good though.

It does look pretty good though. thank you for the comment. I was thinking the same thing too. I probably will scrap it and build the whole thing to look more like the shield work on the 2320. just have to wait for my order of styrene to come. |

Not a real fan of the green, but the workmanship is pretty nice. Looks like it turned out okay.

Harvester850 on here used to make decals I ordered a set from him last year unless you want to try your own I'm going to give it a try myself and see how it goes. But if I fail at it I will look him up. Thx  |
