Raptor Chapter Landraider

So I got around and added some last minute touches to the "Green Machine". Kind of hasty, but I needed it for a game last week. A game where it got ripped to shreds by an Ork Warboss in the third turn.

Land Raider, day-by-day, part 4

Part 4 of these postings includes the progress from day 4 and 5 on my Land Raider for my Raptors Chapter space marine army.
After painting the interior of the tank I thought fitting all the pieces together vould be a breeze. I ran into some problems, especialy when it comes to fitting the roof-part into place. Even after I dry-fitted it all together two times just to be sure, I had a hard time putting it all together. But in the end it turned out ok.

Next step was to assemble the heavy bolters and the Las-cannons with it's mounts.

Now I have done the overall colour of the tank to match my army and some detailwork on the cannons. Late last night I started assembling the two hatches that go on top of the roof. The colour is quite flat right now so I need to do some shading and some highlighting, paint the tracks and continue on the engine-piece at tha back, also the headlights need some paint.

So the work continues! I finished the detailing on the interior of the Land Raider last night. I also added a trio of Bolters to the empty gunrack.

The hatches and the engine-compartment:

And a nice close-up of the engine-compartment, with the name of the machine-spirit: "6 4 2".

This is the second day of this day-by-day experience. Last night I spent a lot of time on the computerpanel and the weathering-effect on the left side of the interior and the floor.

The computerpanel was a bit time-consuming to paint but a fun part of the project. Tomorrow I'm planning on having the right side of the interior completed so I can move on to the engine-panel.

Land Raider, day by day

Last night I started working on a Land Raider kit for my Raptors. For some time now I have been spending my time working on other armies but after I did some touch-up work on my Terminators for my Raptors Chapter army I decided that the army need a bit more love - in the form of a Land Raider.
Since I plan to work on this kit until it's finished I'm going to post a "day-by-day" update.
Day 1:
I started on the interior pieces of the tank, I also started with some weathering on the floor-piece.

 

Tonight I will continue the work on the inner details, the computer, the shrine, seats etc. And I will start on the other wall if there's time.
