Here are some shots of the space wolves land raider I started working on today. C&C more than welcome

Maaaan, looking forward!

And forward I go.

All is assembled, readied for priming, and primed. That includes the twin linked heavy bolter, both sponsons with twin linked las cannons, and all the other attachments I could make from the kit (and some space-wolfication, but not too much )

Guns painted. Lots of work for something that is barely noticeable

Starting to look like a space wolves land raider

All base coating done, and the land raider is all ready for weathering

And now it's not so pristine anymore

More goodies on the workbench:

More of the Land Speeders.

Rockets are magnetized, and so is the bottom weapon, so practically all options except the heavy bolter (who needs a heavy bolter anyways) are valid

The build is done, and its time to do some painting

Land speeders almost done. Just to paint those lights

Nice work!

This is where ambition starts

5 Rhino/Razorback kits built at the same time

For now the bodies are off the sprue, and the big clean up of mold marks begins

Some clean up, some assembly, some detailing A honest afternoon's work

The build is finally finished, and the inside parts are primed.

Let the fun part commence

The game is afoot!

I bet that was a fun afternoon of de-mold lining . Thoses land speeds are looking great. I'm looking forward to seeing all 5 of the Rhino/Razorbacks painted.

Suprisingly those rhino's dont have that many mold marks. All of them seem to be in very hidden places, and they are very easy to get rid of. Only pieces that gave me some trouble were laz cannons (that were a bitch to drill as well.)

This afternoon was one of painting interiors Almost done

They Look damn good!

Glad that someone likes them

Here they are assembled

I admire how you spread out the FW doors instead of using them all on one. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with these!

Well, the both FW doors are on the same rhino, but its not the same one that has the FW front piece

I also had the FW space wolves detailing kit that I used on all of the rhinos.

Plan for tomorrow is to fill all the gaps, and prime the outside parts (and perhaps do the basecoat)

After a wonderful three day vacation, i'm back to my Space Wolves

All five rhino hulls are base coated in what I call space wolves grey

Time is always a premium, but I did manage to squeeze in some to finish basecoating stuff.

Razorback cannons are starting to get shape

Details, Details, Details

They will kill me, all those details

Looking really good, may i ask were the 'troops' are, not that they are the most important thing in the army but they help

In all seriousness its so gratifiying to look at a well painted army, may i ask how you did the weathering to the land raider as i would like to try something similar

keep up the good work

Your ability to pump these out is astounding! Great job!

I've been working on this army for a while, with long-ish breaks. Half of the troops are already done, and the other half will be painted up once I finish these five rhino's/razorbacks.

Once everything is done I will make some "full force" shots and post them of course

As for landraider, I used standard scale modeling weathering techniques:

1. very mild chipping: stipple on some black to the edges, and then stipple on it some darker metal, wash it with "rust wash"
2. "rush wash" is a mix of matte medium, flow release, distilled water (les bursey's formula) and red and brown inks. I cant remember the ratios for the love of god, and once I run out of the batch i made i will be in trouble
3. rust streaks were made with the same wash. dab on a little, pull down with a finger
4. mud on tracks is weathering powder (of vallejo persuasion) mixed with matte medium
5. dust/mud on the lower part is also weathering powder, fixed in place with white spirit

The whole model god a thorough wash with burnt sienna oil paint to make it more interesting

It's all about the assembly line technique. If I didn't work that way, I doubt i would have them this far done in the time I invested. (thanks for kudos btw )

Just do finish off the tracks now, a little weathering, and decals, and they are done

All done except the driver hears

It was about time this project got finished

And some troops now

Some of the older models that I finished today, and 11 new troopers that will join the existing army
