DerekLee688 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 What size track did you buy to fit the spartan? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328907-the-butchers-spartan-mkii/#findComment-4598797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 The chunk between tracks has me scratching my brain. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328907-the-butchers-spartan-mkii/#findComment-4598813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Is this the Forge World model, or a scratch-built one based on the Land Raider model? The low ground clearance would be worrying, were it a real-world vehicle.

LukeTheButcher Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 They are Blood &Skulls Liberator patter tracks (there is an awsome how to on here somewhere). This is essentially my Spartan using a landraid base, 3rd path bits and plastic are. Funny you mention the ground clearance though. - must be the angle. It is only a sliver of plastic lower at the front than the standard land raider :-) The chunk between tracks has me scratching my brain.. Not quite sure as to the question/observation?

Race Bannon Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Ah, well I'm curious about the parts to make the hull from engine to ramp in between tracks.

LukeTheButcher Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Ah, well I'm curious about the parts to make the hull from engine to ramp in between tracks. Right, got ya ;-) I mostly used the Landraider hull. The Floor, Engine block and top cover/Heavy Bolter shell are all classic Landraider, albeit a little chopped down. The side bits had to go to allow for the tracks. A little daunting knowing if the tracks didn't work I had effectively scrapped a £45 quid Landraider, but the tracks worked fine. I had to trim the edge off here. I carefully sniped the 'hinge-holders' so I could stick them back on later. Think this shows the base plate? I found a rail-way model shop that had textured plasticard which I layered over it ( as per the next shot?) Yep, I put a light in too. I really went all out (and lost a fingerprint to a soldering iron for my efforts at electrics) A piece of plasticard from the Heavy-bolter section to the normal Landraider front assault doors, with the hinges from earlier re-attached to fit the assault doors.. And just realised, I had a 'final' pic with the detailing/transfers to show off :-) Hope that helps!

The_son_of_Dorn Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Tutorials like this make sweat profusely. Very nice! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328907-the-butchers-spartan-mkii/#findComment-4599833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendigo Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Great work! And thanks for the work-in-progress pictures and tutorial too; I was wondering exactly how you did this. It's always cool when someone shares their scratch-building steps and materials. W.
