The Butchers Spartan MkII

Recommended Posts

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?

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.
 

WIP Shot 1

 
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?)
 

WIP Shot 3

 
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)
 

WIP Shot 2

 
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..
 

Final

 

 

And just realised, I had a 'final' pic with the detailing/transfers to show off :-)

 

 

Hope that helps!

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.
