Cheers, I've never been a real fan of brightly painted marines. Whilst I can appreciate the fluff around the bright red Blood Angels, blue Ultramarines and yellow Imperial Fists I thought something more subtle and 'realistic' was in order. All my marines are that dark olive green colour. Scout Snipers are posed amidst dense foliage for effect. I like them, they're different enough. I just can't think up a name OR chapter icon - hence the blank shoulder pad.
The photo of this model was taken before I added detail - mud and battle damage. I also filed down the spikes on the wheels a little.
shrike wrote: Any chance of a tut/explanation of how you did it?
I cheated with this one .. and it was much easier than it looks. I bought a little rally car toy for $2.
1. Remove wings and sensor from bottom of landspeeder.
2. Remove wheels (with axle) from toy car and glue to speeder.
3. Remove suspension from toy car, fit and glue to landspeeder - this took some mucking around.
4. Paint.
carabine wrote: I gotta concur. I enjoy this model on wheels alot more than in the air.
Agreed. The landspeeder was getting left in the box every game so thought I'd make it an attack bike/buggy. Is completely legal and looks good on the table. The only downside is that it's slightly bigger than the attack bike model. BUT .. at least it gets used now.
