Oldies, rogue trader and 3d shenanigans

[Operative23]

Rainy day, painting day :)

 

The assault squad has now a decent transport :)

[Operative23]

Next transport, risen from the drawer of oblivion, ready to be stripped, cleaned and changed of allegiance :)

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 :)

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 :/

Greebling time !!

Size does matter :)

I'm calling the greebling done !!

 

That was a ride, the 80's plastic didn't want to glue correctly :/

 

Can't wait for all parts to dry to start unifying the patches with a proper undercoat :)

So satisfying :)

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 :/

Ah, that explains it.  I was assuming you were using polystyrene cement, which made it intriguing

Side paint job, while i ponder the paint scheme for the land raider.

 

B-positive :)

Great job restoring that Land Raider and that AL marine is great!
