Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 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! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/PA120026.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/PA120023.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/PA120022.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/PA120024.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/PA120021.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/PA120020.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/PA120019.jpg 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. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P9230018.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Angel Veteran Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I like it good work but i think ya put a little to much snow effect stuff on the tracks but still kick ass keep it up :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A17roolz Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Personally I disagree, I love the snow effects (although that's just my own opinion), it really looks like it's been in a blizzard which is an ace look for Space Wolves. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archenemy Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 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.

David the Despoiler Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 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 :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archenemy Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I used my Dremel with a coarse sanding barrel, the dust was pretty heavy so not much to breath in, still did it outside though to limit inhaled dust futher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironjens Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It says FREKI on the front plate. Cookie for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenCrute Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Beaten to it. My google-fu was not fast enough for a cookie. Nicely done, I agree about the snow effects, looks a bit clumpier than my one experience of snow. Accursed Australian climate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I got it as FRECI but hey, who cares! Cant wait for the next thing you do as if its like the rest it will be awesome. (Especially looking forward to when you do that termi tutorial) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replica Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 This is cool, looks VERY Space Wolf. I would imagine they would have alot of aged wargear. I think the snow looks great too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
