Operative23 Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 (edited) Land raider stripped and cleaned, i guess i can thank my younger self for having been too lazy to make a proper undercoat some 35 years ago :) I have found proper stl for the doors, with a new livery. I have also given the legs treatment to a technmarine so this old lady will have a mechanic to take care of her :) Edited January 25 by Operative23 typo Valkia the Bloody, RolandTHTG, batu and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377999-oldies-rogue-trader-and-3d-shenanigans/page/3/#findComment-6153682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) The old rogue trader landraider is my favourite vintage kit, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with her. Not sure if its doable, but you might want to try removing those track links on the front and replacing them with the flat (old) rhino style front plate. As well, I missed commenting on it earlier, but your flier turned out very nicely.

Thank you :) I've just check, unfortunately this track has fused with the front panel, i'm afraid if i try micro surgery i will mess the whole panel :/ Dr_Ruminahui 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377999-oldies-rogue-trader-and-3d-shenanigans/page/3/#findComment-6154210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operative23 Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 I'm calling the greebling done !!

Firedrake Cordova Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Out of curiosity, what was the issue you had with gluing the plastic?

The glue took essentially forever to take on :) I use a loctite super glue as a standard for the assembly, I met two problems : - The pinning of broken lascannon - The interface between old plastic / new plastic My guess on those two problems is that i did not washed properly the 80's plastic when I removed the paint (I used a mild dissolvant glycerine based). So I think there was a chemical reaction between the glycerine and the loctite :/ Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377999-oldies-rogue-trader-and-3d-shenanigans/page/3/#findComment-6155872 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operative23 Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 (edited) After some chopping and printing, a mugshot of the ready minis :) 11 hours ago, Firedrake Cordova said: Not sure I recognise the model in the middle, but I certainly recognise the others from the old catalogues when I first got into the hobby.... Nostalgia hit ... Every mini is roughly from the same era, each one is a scout. http://www.solegends.com/citrt2/rt4107smscouts/index.htm Number 3 and 4 are the same scouts from the advanced space crusade box. The "blue" one was a test when i was trying to build hoods with green stuff. For both of them, i have now chopped the arms and give them a 3d printed militia rifle replacement. For more nostalgia hit, I've got back a handful of confrontation hive gangers I've already converted for my 40k Alpha legion, I will now repurpose them for Horus Heresy Edited March 9 by Operative23 Tallarn Commander, Firedrake Cordova, Rusted Boltgun and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377999-oldies-rogue-trader-and-3d-shenanigans/page/3/#findComment-6160201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
