ItchyTasty Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Had these photos laying around of a Conversion I did of a LRC into an Achilles thought the board might enjoy them, I'll post the finished product as soon as I can get it in front of a camera. I realize that taking apart an LRC is sacrilegious, however it was a third level hand me down and was coated with paint thick enough that a good amount of the detail work was not visible, it needed lots of work. The Gun: Top View: The Side, after heavy Remodeling: Top View, more modifications: Closeup angle shot Templar Bits: Keep in mind this is not the finished tank. More to come.

Acebaur Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Nice, I've been thinking about picking up an Achilles, they are pretty sweet. If you want to strip that paint, give it a bath in Superclean for a few days and then use a toothbrush and it will come right off. Won't damage the plastic either.

Acebaur Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 What exactly are the guns coming out of the headlight clusters? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251124-bt-land-raider-achilles/#findComment-3047502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthanor Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 My guess is twin-linked heavy bolters. They are not on the FW pictures of the Achiles and I don't know if they are supposed to have them and/or where they are supposed to go though.. Looking good! Nice recovery and it's colorful enough to stand out as such a rare pattern should.

ItchyTasty Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I put pintle mounted storm bolters on all of my land raiders. The headlight spot did't have the light in it, so I went ahead and popped them in, gives it a slightly different look and I like the placement.
