Woroxon wanted to know about my magnets, and yet I ended up taking any good pictures of it. I will try to rectify that now! I glued the magnets on the backside of the frames. You can see the bottom four in the picture below. The other four are hidden already. I'm going to add magnets under the tracks so I can plopp the fun grenades on the front on and off. I hope to acquire a standard Land Raider weapons sprue in the future and the standard Land Raider doesn't have them :)
Another W.I.P. picture. Has a bit more depth now, and some more highlights. You can also see how horrible the door looks. I decided to retcon the whole thing and claim that that piece comes from an old and venerable Land Raider (Terra Ira) that now lives on in this one. Going to try to paint a bunch of battle damage on it and dirty it up a bit. Make it Venerable :)
And here's one of my little Hobby Helpers :) The runt of the litter, Merryweather.
That raider is coming out great! Can't wait to see the finished product...how much weathering do you plan on?
ReplyDeleteNice rat too...
wow love the paint job! sucks about the doors though.
ReplyDelete@OSH I've done very little weathering on my other models but I think I'll try some more on this one. Some spots got rubbed off and looks pretty good. Going from yellow to white to plastic in color. Might try that instead of the classic black + mithril. Give it more of a worn than beat up look. Any and all suggestion are very welcome :)
ReplyDelete@Ashi It's just the front hatch and it's the result of overpriming plus trying to fix that overpriming (BAD! idea). Might do some black+silver weathering just there :)
@OSH Oh and Merryweather always watches me closely when I paint :)
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of the raider, the idea of wathering sound right specially with that hatch. I just want to see the end result now.
ReplyDelete@Woroxon I want to see the end result too, too bad I'm the one that "has" to finish it :) I think there is about a day of work left, possible two, on the chassis, and then it's weapons and other "little" things which probably will take another day or so.
ReplyDeleteflekzzo dont worry remember yuo are working on yuor LR I still have to do progress on my 3 tanks
ReplyDelete@Woroxon I've soon spent 2 years on my meager 1500p army. Time to shape up and start making good time. Worst part? I'm finding that I want to expand my Imperial Fists with Sternguard, Vindicators (x3), Drop Pods (for dreads), Dreads, two more tacticals (or maybe four, or six, would be cool to have them all for the fourth company, but then I should have two devastator squads and one more assault squad! And then I need 10 (!) new Razorbacks! Wow:)).
ReplyDeleteHow are my Space Wolves and Skaven ever survive at this pace? :)
