my lords land raider


BobPanda

Recommended Posts

ok here's my last topic for today ...

it's a vehicle again.

for my lord i wanted to have something special, but not too freaky for being used in a ordinary game ...

=> a land-raider, combined with some special details could be the right choice - i thought ...

:ph34r:

-

i'll post a lots of linked images ... sorry to those with a slow internet-connection ... :P

in my opinion you do wonderful conversions, unique and very creative...but your paint jobs just dont do them justice what so ever

 

theres so much more you could do to make them stand out that little bit more with colours and character adding paint jobs

the argument with the painting is exactly what i'm thinking, too ...

but unfortunately i don't like painting very much ... :lol: ... => i think i do not have much talent in painting ... but of course i'd like to, but in the end, painting never had such a high priority as converting and creating in my mind. and because of that, going together with the fact, that i do not have much time to spend on my hobby, and therefore i always tried to keep the painting-periods as short as possible ...

Some really creative ideas and pretty darn good execution, BobPanda! The sculpted relief and dozer blades are extremely well done. I was also impressed with your Hurricane bolter sponsons. Do you have any pre-assembly pics of the sponsons, or failing that, a decent explanation as to how you went about converting them?

well .... most of you might know, that hurricans, mounted in traditional way, do not fir pretty well and because of that, are not staying in position pretty good.

=> if you'll simply take a q-tip, cut a 3mm tube out of it, open it on one side and strip it over the metall pin, it fits much better in the mounting-whole drilled in the plastik-mounts.

the bolters got replaces by a pair of three on each side, coming from the vehicle-acc-sprue. you do not need to do much with them, but glueing them together and afterwards glueing them to the original mounting, where normaly the metal-hurricanes are mounted at.

Oh my, these side sculptures are a very pleasant and ingenious improve for your Raider. It undoubtfully brings a lot to it. Besides, your weapon systems are very well built and far more impressive than the original ones.

 

Therefore, I must say that though the chain system for the dozer bears a very rustic-wolfy feeling, it seems a bit too much rustic for the educated machine spirit of that noble vehicle.

 

Hmmm just an idea like that, you have most certainly already though about it but well... I see you are using a special front door (most probably a Forgeworld one). Considering you have ni side doors, you could convert the ones you've got in armor platings protecting the hurricane sponsons. Might need some re-shaping but I'm sure its not that much to you. Well, just an idea like that...

Very nice anyway ! Please keep coming.

Oh H311 yes thats Fuc%in@ awesome. Im exactly the opposite as you my friend. I like to paint and cannot stand to work to long on conversions and cleaning. There are some VERY simple things you can do to that to make the paint very much better though. Otherwise very nice.

So much ideas to store for future reference, so much cool in those pictures... B)

 

*yoink* :)

 

Awesome work there Bob; you deserve all the praise here, that's one heck of a centerpiece for your army... :)

Hm...

I have to wonder about the side doors though...

Do you just assume they are there, modelled into the relief?

 

hmm ....

i do not pretend on playing each rule exactly as it was ment to. in my case this would mean, that i cannot use the side-doors, because they are simply not there, allthough i'll have to pay the points as if they would. another good example are my wolve-riders .... i'll play them as bikes and pay the points for it, allthough, most of them do only have ordinary bolters instead of twinlinked ones.

-

for those of you, which are asking for a tuturial ...

of course, i'll look for the pictures i took, during it's creation ... for sure, i'll find some pics, which propably show some interesting worksteps ...

Question,

 

Had you tried the mural technique before?

 

If that was your first attempt then it was nothing short of miraculous. If you had tried it before and knew how it was going to turn out once painted it then brings it down to the level of merely incredible.

Man, just give ME the model and i'll paint it up for you if you don't have time... That LandRaider is awesome. The PJ HAS to match. Its like having a super model and dressing her in rags. Not everyone will have Picaso talent when it comes to painting, but at least have the patience to try and practice at it. You're letting yourself down. And i mean that in the nicest way.

 

AWESOME idea and and execution in the conversion. Very impressive and original. Never seen this before. Been playing for year and years.

.

no i haven't ... i mean, this was my first time trying it ...

but i think it was pretty easy to do ... the only problem was to find appropriate models to use for. but when having a look at expacialy older gw-minis, there are plenty, which could be used.

i found some images i could use for tuturial purpose, to show how easy such a mural can be done ...

i'll try to find the time for posting them this evening ...
