That is absolutely bad-a$$!
Only thing that I would suggest is tying the paint jobs between the back and front parts together with some paint design.
Maybe continuing the checker pattern from the red part onto the blue? Or maybe doing some blue sections on the red part, and red sections on the blue part?

As to how long it took to build, I'd say about 20 - 30 hours total over about 3 weeks.
I had acquired both the Land Raider and the Bassie kits in trades as they were both incomplete and fit for use only as parts, so the cost there was minimal.
The reason the trailer is blue and not red is that my most hated enemies are the Ultramarines and the thought of dragging one of their precious Land Raiders around as a trailer for an Ork vehicle and swarmed over by Grots make me smile every time I see it.
What isn't shown in the pictures is the Ultramarine water transfers that were placed on the trailer later... trust me, they add a proper "Dis is owrs now Beekies" dimension to the vehicle.
When I use it in Apoc games, I often play it without the trailer.

Fire claws innocents without number
As charred cinders replace green life
Death takes good and evil to their slumber
And guilt stabs into me with its knife |

Truly amazing work, those Adeptus Mechanicus boys are gonna have your arse for defacing not one but two of their beloved war machines. LOL Seriously though, superb work.

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |
