Well here is my pree heresy Landraider ready for The Great Crusade forum event in the UK called The Compliance of Gedren!

 

Kudos to anyone who can tell me what it is called!

The kit is a real pig to put together as the resin parts are out of scale (too small) with the plastic parts. I had to use lots and LOTS of patience and green stuff to sort it out.

 

Here is an example of the problem - comparing the size of the plastic top door hatch against the resin one.

another great addition to your force dude. i gotta say i love your stuff.

 

with the kit, did you find it was all out of scale or just certain parts? i've been looking atgetting one for a while (and converting it into a reddemer but hey) but if its all out of kilter i might get a normal land raider and convert it into a pre-heresy one... does that actually make any sense because im sober and tired :D

Your Raider looks sweet mate, I like the snow effect.

 

I just assembled a Landraider with FW doors (ok I can't lie, its 95% assembled :huh: ) and I know exacly what your saying about the resin sizes, I sanded the resin doors away from the iconography on the doors and glued them onto plastic doors.

 

For the front I used the plastic door that came with the kit and filed away the plastic detail, for the side doors I made some better fitting doors out of plasticard. Came out a treat, much better than the FW original door, it's more work but the results are worth it. I only had doors to sort out so I can feel your pain with a whole kit, you pulled it off a treat.

I hope you held your breath, sanding that stuff can be hazardous, I hear! And it actually sounds like a pretty good solution, just taking the symbols and adding them to the existing doors.

 

That's a great wolf raider, its archaic look definitely fits in with the Suns of Russ. (Its sponsons actually look a bit like those of the Leman russ, which is kind of nice :) )
