InFlames Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've been working on this land raider for this years golden demon. I just got internet, so I haven't been able to post this earlier, so it's about half done now. I'll slowly post the pictures I've already taken - purely for suspense reasons. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/IMG_0118.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/IMG_0119.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/IMG_0121.jpg test scheme http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/IMG_0361.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekkanus Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 SACRED FETH!!!! That thing looks amazing! whats the two sponsony bits on the sides from? Is that part of a back end of a Rhino? Ekkanus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Looks identical to Doc Thunder's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InFlames Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Maybe it is doc thunder's one. The sponsons are made from the tops of razorback/preds, baneblade track guard parts, and plasticard. In truth I am doing the commission for Doc Thunder. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/IMG_0368.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/aaron.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulson games Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Very cool, bulky and imposing. What are the metal relief pieces on the side from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Faolan Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yeah, Doc Thunder never does his own work, heh. I think that while it looks good, the sponson wings are too long- they should have had the grilles at the base cut out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 IMHO its to wide. Doubling the size of the model really.... Perhaps shorten the side sponsons to just teh turret gyro area? Dunno, looks like youve done to much painting at this point. *shrugs*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejay Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Looks pretty awesome, although it's really beefy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InFlames Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 It is a bit wide, but after working on it for so long, I really think the width and size and bulkiness make it so much more imposing. It just wouldn't be the same if it had land raider sized sponsons. The metal relief pieces are from that limited edition exorcist kit. Updates!

ShinyRhino Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 While the patinting is great, I'm just not a fan of anything with huge sponsons/turrets slapped on the side. It looks like more of a liaility on the battlefield than an asset. And I can't imagine the logistical nightmare of trying to transport the thing inside a Thunderhawk, unless you mod a "Big Belly" T-Hawk just for it. But the painting really is ace. Nice blends, and good complimentary colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Rhino, Flames is only painting it. He did not make the model. Anyways, I must admit, that is one odd scheme. I await till this model is finished to pass judgement. I predict it will be quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InFlames Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Terrible ->Oh, its going to be done in all the same blue. I have a sort of OCD way of painting, rather than doing the whole model one layer at a time, I paint individual sections. I get too bored and frustrated doing it the way that covers the whole model. It is a really impractical and more time consuming way of painting, and it is also harder to achieve shading done equally over the whole model, but it is the way I paint. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/IMG_0432.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/IMG_0433.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InFlames Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Updating! These are the most recent pictures I've taken http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/Picture030.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/Picture029.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/szolopiak/Picture031.jpg These were taken about a month ago. I'll have new pictures hopefully later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Wow. I am very impressed. The paint job actually makes what is a very ugly model look very, very nice. If your lucky the Doc might even recognise that you painted this when he reposts it himself later on. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekkanus Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I like the blue colour very much. I paint my models in a very similar way to you - I tend to get bored easily if I basecoat the whole model, then layer the whole parts blah blah, whereas at least if I paint it in stages, I can set myself an easier goal - takes me about a week and a half to paint one model that way mind, but it saves you throwing it against the wall!! Looking forward to seeing it finished. Ekkanus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
