Holy crap!


That's awesome! I love the little greenstuffed detailing, especially the stuff on the front hatch.

I think that if I owned this model, it would get its own case (one of the small GW cases) and would be transported by itself. And if I were playing in an army with multiple land raiders, if you killed this one, I would remove a different one and put this one in its place. And if my opponent managed to kill it or my last land raider, I would simply refuse to remove it from the table, claiming that their firepower isn't nearly cool enough to kill this land raider.

In fact...

Your paintjob is so awesome that I expect nothing less than the Emperor of Mankind and Jesus Christ himself locked arm in arm to skip out of the lowered assault ramps to lay smite your enemies.

Dude, you have skill. The Dreadnote hit the nail on the head.

Wow, that is brilliant

You have some skill

I bow down before thy skill! Now if you will excuse me, I will go the corner to weep of envy.

Seconded. More tissues required! (Hmmm....)

Truely, that is one of the best land raiders I've ever seen. Definitely worth every minute you put into it.

If I had skills like that I would never battle again. I would just paint a picture of my army winning so beautiful my opponent would weep from jealousy and forfeit.

Thanks guys, you comments kinda make all the effort worthwile

lol
No extra cases over for me.

But the rest, thats what I´m in fact doing
Although my opponents never let me win, quite the opposite, when that wagon is on the table everyone wants to kill it out of fun and spite, hehe.

There is this company that make custom cut foam they are called battle foam they make a bag that is sized for carry on use that will fit this piece of art and a lot of other pieces of art we want to see this in white dwarf and the cost is quite worth that lovely Landraider.






Oh yeah Were not worthy were not worthy were not worthy

You are a modelling God!

That is what's referred to as 'hating' and those hellbent on destroying your beautifully rendered gift to wargaming are known as 'haters'. Just ignore them, keep rollin', keep pimpin' and keep your dice hand strong.
(Sorry, I'm a DJ and have to play an hour of that stuff daily)

Fan-freakin'-tastic! Absolutely stunning. I've always had a great love of landraiders and this is now definitely one of my favorites.

Would you be willing to share your secret on how you got the wire in your doors to fit into the chassis? I'm planning on doing the same on my upcoming tanks and would really like not to botch it up.

Vulkan himself would be proud!

Awesome work!

You know, sadly enough you might be right here. Except for my very best friends nobody ever commented on that raider on the tabletop, ever. As soon as it hits the table people I play against become all silent, not smiling, not even caring about any of the effort I put into my army as a whole.
A weird feeling, kinda gives me a guilt feeling of ever having painted my army with any kind of care what so ever.

Well, to be honest I dont remember since it was some time ago now.
But I used a mini drill to drill a hole right through all the plastic hinges and a thin copper paper clip straightened out as the pin going through the hinges.
I think its seen in some of the green pics even.

Then angling the ends so that they go right into the raiders hull and out through the first outer shell. Greenstuff is used to cover the ugly holes in the LRs hull and the whole trich of this was to keep altering the angles and positioning of the pin so that finally the door could open and close properly and the pivot point got exactly where it allows the door to open without the hinges moving the door up or down so it gets stuck.

If you want to make it openable make sure you know your way around basic greenstuff first since you will be carving bigger and bigger holes and altering the pins positions and this must all be covered up in the end.

I love it. And the amount of pain and cursing while making it just makes it sweeter
I can get seriously disturbed if I work a convesion for more than a week.

Great work!

Wow! truly amazing work! where in sweden do you live i would like to play against you and see your army in real life!? Even thou my best painted and sculpted models would look dull and crappy facing that amazing land raider! keep it up and show us more beutiful sculpts!

Good fecking god.

You just raised the bar in tank green stuff.

P.s. Was there a bar before?

Dead segsah!
It's the little details that really make this beautiful.

Holy wow. Thats amazing! Did you sculpt the marine with the spear freehand with green stuff? Or did you use a mold or something?

wow... nice work

That is a work of art! Well done!

I feel so inadequate now.

That is some good looking work. I really appreciate the post and the WIP photos.

You've set the bar higher for all of us.

I was so proud of a greenstuff cigar that I made for an Ork. You've ruined that for me now. Awesome

Truly amazing job.

how did you hinge the doors. ive tried before and it didnt really work??

That is the best land raider I've ever seen.

Simply stunning work.

The detail, the GS, the sculpting and the painting all come together to make this vehicle something I wouldn't ever stop showing off.

*joygasm*

excellent work! bravo!

Now THAT would pass for Pro on ebay
