I have an old RT landraider that has been repainted a few times with acrylic paints (oh the folly of youth). Would this Fairy power spray dent that?

Not exactly a great bargain... I have 2 useless LR hulls sitting around. Bits sites buy the LRC and sell the weapons, leaving the hull useless. Unless you want 3 LRC, in which case you will end up paying out the nose for weapons.

I bought replacement parts for everything on my LR. Dakka Swaps helped me out, I posted I was missing the LR Floor plate and some one offered one up and some spare weapons (Heavy Flamers etc) and a load of other spares and I bought the lot off him £15. Now for £40 I have one reclaimed magnetised LR with 3 sets of magnetised Weapons, and Magnetised Doors so it can be change to a LANDRAIDER TERMINUS ULTRA for Apoc. I think that's pretty good considering a new one, with one weapons set is £34.

So taking it logically, 34 x 3 = £102. Dullblade has bought 3 partially together LR's for £24 + P&P. Add in a further £25 for spares new weapons, and parts that = £50 for 3 LR's? How is that not a bargain?

@Howard A Treesong: I'm new to this stuff as well so I wish I new the answer

@ph34r: i know what you mean but if you look at the price of a LR hulls about £20 each no weapons then just to get 3 for £30 is very cheap even considering the lack of weapons. Also i know this is a long shot but its a project for fun to try save these worn LR's

i will put a thing in swap shop but i'll make a call on here too if have any LR weapons please contact me by PM

bitz barn,apocabitz,and the landraider upgrade spue are good.if you need bit by bit then go on american ebay coz its so cheap

Also, it will impress any potential partners you bring around .. I'm lead to believe that nothing is as effective at winning the heart of another than saying "Look baby, I'm so fly I can afford to use Land Raiders as terrain."

Just don't let them see your 1982 Corolla out the front.

Try Simple Green. Soak a couple of hours in it full strength and any hobby type acrylic paint will brush right off. Commercial type spray paints are tougher and you probably won't get all of that off

If you can't get a proper LR forward turret, try either Baneblade sponson turrets or a Chimera turret, and make up some fluff about "field repairs" if you have to

Brotherjulian is right about Simple Green. The problem being that you cannot easily get it in the UK. There is a website you can buy it from but you have to buy it in reasonably large amounts. I cannot justify spending £35 + p&p for 5 litres of stuff. I'd rather buy another Landraider .

As a Brit i get well cheesed off with how well our American Cousins do, their stuff is reasonably cheap and they get tools and cheap Airbrushes from Harbour Freight, cheap stripping agents, cheap ebay, lets face it the US has it pretty good (standfast their awful postal service)

I WANNA LOOT 'EM!!!

Land Raider kit parting out right now on ebay! (With buy it now prices)

For #1, I'd go with eBay and pick up some spare Lascanons (or kit-bash them with platicard and plastic tubes)
For #2, if it were me... I'd pick up a Vindicator kit and some bits from the Crusader/Redeemer sprue and make a Land Raider Ares
#3... yeesh... Don't know what you can do with that one besides heavy use of card or turn it into terrain.

Still, for the price, I think you got off pretty well!

I don't wanna necro....but I wanna stop worrying about those poor machine spirits :*(

I fear i have kind of killed this thread so looks like not only am i restoring the LR's i need to keep on top of this *lesson learnt*

Anyway atm i have restored and moddelled all other LR's base Chassis to a good standard just missing the weapons.

LR 1 has its LC sponsons finished, its lacking the HB turret.

LR 2 has a fully complete Chassis and a AC turret.

LR 3 (the lost one) .... has been saved is fully built bar weapons

I have some turrets and stuff on the way atm and I'll post some pics of the LR atm

You guys have to keep on my back if i don't update

Well I think if you finish them up with a decent paint job those Machine Spirits will devote themselves too you there full table top life time...Maybe even bad JuJu some enemy glance / pen rolls.

Oh how wondafewl!

Omnissiah's face = :3

Looking great, glad too se the forward hatch coming to good use. Keep us updated.

Are the inner lascannons slightly longer than the outer ones? It looks good...

Yeah they are, makes it look abit nicer and still looks deadly

Been a while... again... but here is the best 2 so far:

LR2-Crusader





LR3- The Lost



Tell me what you think

VERY NICE!

Thanks Painting is going to start soon

Those are looking really sweet! What colour scheme are you heading for? Templars?

Yeh, Black,white and Dark Reds. They still need some little pieces but all can just be slotted in and painted separate.

Can't wait to get started

Looking good man. I knew it could be done, but damn some of those were lost causes at the beginning

I know looking back its massive how they have changed

For the better I hope

Indeed good sir, I congratulate you, it's actually really cool Keep up the good work, you should make a before and after comparison picture when you are done. Looking forawrd too the pictures of the painted models ;D Clearly you are one talented scavinging ork ;P

Nice save on those raiders mate.At first i thought it was a lost cause and im glad you proved me wrong.Next time i need to strip mini's ill try the fairy stuff although im partial to cheap floorcleaner myself(for mini's not drinking).

I recommend Fairy powerspary so much after using it, I left some sentinel bits in with it for about a month and stripped them well and didn't hurt the model at all
