Chaplain Raeven Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm building a Land Raider Redeemer at the moment, and I'm planning to give the interior some colour. The problem is this: I noticed that you only get 2 sets of doors for the interior, while there are 4 openings. Does anyone know where I can get another set of these doors? I've tried Ebay, but the limited amount of sets I found were too expensive for something so silly.

Carlson793 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Perhaps try recasting the ones you have? A simple press mold and some resin could do the trick.

Major_Gilbear Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 If they don't need to open, perhaps try making them from plasticard cut-outs?

Grotsmasha Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'll look in my extensive bitz box, I should be able to help you out. I'll P.M. if I find some.

Chaplain Raeven Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Perhaps try recasting the ones you have? A simple press mold and some resin could do the trick. Never done that before and I don't have the materials, so it wouldn't be very cost-effective. If they don't need to open, perhaps try making them from plasticard cut-outs? Guess I won't have much choice if I want those holes closed. I'll look around my hobbystore tomorrow. I'll look in my extensive bitz box, I should be able to help you out. I'll P.M. if I find some. Cheers, Jono That would be awesome, thanks! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326200-interior-land-raider-doors/#findComment-4512937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Are you sure the openings covered by the sponsons are supposed to have doors on the inside?

Chaplain Raeven Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Yep. The back doesn't doesn't reach far enough to cover the gap between the outer and inner wall. It wouldn't matter anyway, since I'm mounting my sponsons and my doors at the front hatches.

Quixus Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 And necessary parts are missing from the sprue? Call GW and have them sort it out.

Chaplain Raeven Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 No, that's the weird part. They only supply 2 sets of doors. I stumbled upon Jeff Tibbetts blog while searching for an explanation on google, and he made 2 extra sets out of Plasticard. It seems ridiculous to make such an amazingly detailed interior, and then supply not enough doors to finish the model. I've send GW an e-mail anyway to ask what their intentions were. I can make my own doors, but with such an expensive, common and detailed kit, I shouldn't have to.

Chaplain Raeven Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Wel, they didn't answer my question, they only confirmed that just the 2 sets are included. It was a friendly chap however, so he'll send me the bits I need.

Grotsmasha Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I had a look, and couldn't find any, but, IIRC, there's two "equipment" panels that fit in the gaps behind the sponsons, I'll grab a pic when I get home.

Cheers, Jono ah, I thought it was something like that. maybe you aren't supposed to build two interior doors but two doors and two panels.

Cheers, Jono ah, I thought it was something like that. maybe you aren't supposed to build two interior doors but two doors and two panels. Maybe 2 sets of doors was a wrong description. There are 2 halves of a door (so 1 door) and an equipment/radarscreen panel. Nonetheless, GW confirmed that's the way it is. It's still weird.

That's it: of the four holes in the hull only two are going to be doors, while the other two will be covered by the sponson, and so won't be usable as exits Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326200-interior-land-raider-doors/#findComment-4514229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it: of the four holes in the hull only two are going to be doors, while the other two will be covered by the sponson, and so won't be usable as exits Ofcourse. And that would be ideal if someone glues their Landraider shut. But when doing the interior, those sponsons cover NOTHING on the inside. But since pictures tell more than a thousand words... You see on the picture below the first interior panel with all the monitors. There are tools sculpted on the other side of the panel, so you can choose what you use. The back entrance is what you see with the sponson installed. Notice the huge gap that shows the interior of the hull. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p553/GreyRavenC/DSCN28781_zpsuxwuwiy5.jpg On the next picture you see the other half of the hull. Here I installed the 'door' that came with the kit. Here the sponson doesn't cover the entrance either. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p553/GreyRavenC/DSCN28791_zpsgq1yubqk.jpg That one door and one panel is all that came with the kit, which in itself is already a weird combination. And you can see the gap if you look inside from the front hatch. GW made such a detailed interior, and then made the mistake of not supplying enough doors/panels. Quite a shame.

Grand Master Laertes Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 wooooops, I was sure there was two doors and two panels... looks like it's been too many years since the last Land Raider I assembled Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326200-interior-land-raider-doors/#findComment-4515961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Raeven Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 I recieved the package from GW. Now I can finally have my 2 doors, a panel with consoles and the panel with tools. The chaps at GW are really friendly! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326200-interior-land-raider-doors/#findComment-4515966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
