So I picked up a razorback and some polostyrene sheets.
Cause I've wanted to see an Extra armor razorback and could find one.
so I decied that I'd try my hand at making one! after about an hour or two this is
where got.


Stage 1


Stage 2

This my first go at using styrene. So I yeah not super great but yeah! Those rivets are a pain!

Looks good for a first go!

Thanks Valkyrie.. Lets just hope I can stay motivated..
You can kind see the vindie plow and the ig plow!
:0 What could happen there?

For a “first attempt” at plasticard I think it’s coming out great.

That is very nice!
If your having trouble making riverts an easier way to do it is to use a 1-2mm hole punch.

Looks great! You'll find it much easier to use small styrene-rod for rivets -I glue the whole rod in place, then cut it off all but a rivet-sized nub.
{or sometimes I just cut them off extra tank-bits & backpacks}
..other than that..
Good work marine! I love plastic-card-conversions!

Update!

So I did an hour worth of work!

here's what came from this!


With rivets and light!


So questions for you guys! should I do armor on top?
And what do you think I should do with the doors?
Armor over the door opening.. or have it open and do the plated rivet look around it!

I'd love to hear all ideas.. cause I kinda need a lil boost!

Maybe you should do the back armor as well. And it looks good.
(sorry if all ready said just scim read)

Actually I think only front armour would fit the gauntlet on this one. Razorbacks are essentially frontline assault carriers, so it needs to be protected AND quick. A tank which has too much extra armour would be slowed down, but a strong front armour would make for quite a good assault tank.

Just in a matter of aesthetics, that is.

Ok so I thinking I'm gunna cover the opening for the door today!
See how it turns out!
I will post pics tonight.

daxx: there will be rear armor!

Vargtass: Only have the front armor would take away what I want
to see come of this project!

I would like Help with the front under the peak holes!
Where should I go with this?

Stay tunned more to come!

Good job so far. Very nice work on the extra armor you're making, and it's not something you see too many people do. I have a Land Raider that I'm making extra armor for... take the link in my signature if you want to see it.

As for the front plate, I would say you could look to Forge Worlds Rhino kits for an idea.

Thanks guys!

What about like the mark1 style front end?

Ok I work a tiny bit on it today.. I had to go see my mum!

So lets jump right in!

This the full armored side. Im think about putting the old mark one side doors on! Well see though.
Im pretty sure I'm gunna keep the pe box on top I'm just trying it on for size!


Rear armor taking shape. I have yet to add more rivtes cause I'm pretty sure I'm gunna try something else!


And the side by side!

More tomorrow hopefully if work doesn't beat me up to badly!

How about reactive armour? Like so:
