longscope Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 So, I have the interior of my Land Raider painted, and it's now put together, but I'm not sure about the paint job for the outside. I'm leaning towards option #3, but opinions are welcome, of course. http://fc28.deviantart.com/fs44/f/2009/099/9/2/LR_paint_options_by_Longscope.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165539-land-raider-paint-scheme/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I vote for #2. I think it has good contrast w/out being to bright. The green in # 3 is a bit harsh - all the focus is centered on the green. Were did you find the LR template??

The Gold may be harder to pull off, but you're right, it could be worth it. Here's where I found the template. There's a bunch of all different vehicles. But the one you're after is listed as "Base Land Raider" http://www.wolfsshipyard.mystarship.com/Vehicles.htm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165539-land-raider-paint-scheme/#findComment-1948206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I like number 2 - but might I suggest adding some gold to the back inner panel to balance out the gold on the side of the tank. like this perhaps?: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/SDLR.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165539-land-raider-paint-scheme/#findComment-1948289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
longscope Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 MET: I'm at work right now, and PB is blocked for me, so I can't see your post. But if you're referring to the recessed area behind the hatches with the horizontal vents on it.... I was thinking the same thing if I'm going gold.

Sgt. Blank Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 That's what he changed, and I think it looks good on the army painter. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165539-land-raider-paint-scheme/#findComment-1948401 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavotte Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Yeah, definitely number 2... 3 reminds me of a certain purple dinosaur from all of our imaginations.

I agree with Metcalfdan, adding the gold to the rear gives it a sense of symmetry and looks good.
