looks great!

Looks great! Also, it it just me or would this fit in really well in a Sororitas army?

With the front up, and that statue on top of the door.
It'll be the rolls royce of land raiders

Looking great so far.

As this appears to be a WIP, I'm moving it over to Blogs.

So I have had a little time to work on some stuff and here is one of the things I have been buring the midnight oil with, it is my take on a Black Templar Land Raider Crusader.
It has been a rather difficult build in trying to solve the "draw bridge" problem of the front assault ramp, and where and how to place the assault cannon and multi-melta, all while not taking away from the overall look of the tank. Funny thing is, after all this work I am not sure if I am going to keep it, I may end up putting a coat of primer on it and selling it...time will tell though.
The front assault ramp will actually be a working LRC door, I am going to use a plain one with some green stuff work on it, it will be magnitized so it can openn and close. I have dropped the idea of the chains and draw bridge look, to hard to engineer and it wasnt working smoothly at all.
As far as the multi-melta asaualt cannon, I am going to build a weapon cluster that will sit atop the forst balcony, keeping everything at roughly there original postions.
Lastly the engine ehausts are going to be rebuilt to look like organ pipes, should add a nice touch I think. Anyway lots more photos here;

nice MkII side sponsons! as for the assault cannon dilemna, it may sound stupid... but how about a tiny throne turret with a cherub gunner? basically, make a little throne with a cherub and an assault cannon on each side.

Great conversion mate . looking forward to see what comes next.

The way the front end juts out, with the sloped roof and eagle over the assault ramp, gives it the feel of a mid 1930s Dusenburg.
Looks great so far.

Certainly an interesting craft

I might have been tempted to make the entrance slightly more recessed into the body of the vehicle... it sticks out a bit too far IMO.

This conversion is just too awesome.


Also cue xhibit: Yo Dawg... I herd you like yellin' "Praise the Emperor!" so I put a church in your Land Raider so you can praise the Emperor while you "Praise the Emperor!"

Not a bad idea, but i think the central block (the cathedral) need to be a little bigger

Maybe if it was on a Baneblade chassis - but I think it is just about perfect on a Land Raider - I'll take one too please!

Fantastic!

Fantastic model. Inspiring design which I may replicate for my SoB army. Very, very impressed!

Curtians??

Looks great! And the front ramp looks big enough for a termie to move through.
