Hey everyone, I just got my hands on a land raider to put together, but I find myself stuck without the instruction manual. I tried giving customer service a call, but they're currently out for the weekend, and I was really hoping to get to work/finish it up this weekend. Does anyone know of somewhere online I could get the pdf version of the instructions? I've checked out some tutorials online, but they're very lacking :(

Thanks for the help!

If you e-mail them they will send you a pdf. But if you can't wait there is this... http://www.youtube.com/user/solidsmurf#p/u/182/IiFqq0oHMKQ

edit: just watched 30 seconds in to that video and that guy is clueless lol. he gets there eventually though

Is it a particular part you're stuck on? I've built a few so may be able to help.

I watched that video before I posted the original request, and ended up banging my head on the desk a little, because between video 1 and 2, he skips some steps that had me really confused at first, mostly the pinion on the front doors.

I was really hoping I could find the recomended step by step so that I just dont mess it up. I think I've already messed up the pinion, and got glue where it wasnt saposed to be...

I'm reallllly new and this is the first vehicle that I have tried putting together, outside of an Ork bike... I've prolly put together a total of 400-500 pts of models so far. <-- total newbie I just dont wanna mess it up. I am a bit of a perfectionist at heart, so I'm pretty weary of a daunting project like this and messing it up :(

Glue it shut. Unless you REALLY want them to function and you are going to paint the interior.

Couldn't find a copy of instructions so I can't post a pic. Soz.

But there's only really one way it will fit. Basically the two halves of the door slot through the side into the track housing. On the other side (inside the tracks) theres a small circular piece that fits on the end of each door half. Then those two pieces are joined by a pole. This creates a pulley system that moves both doors at same time.

Dry fit it first (without glue) to make sure your happy.

Hope this helps!

do you have a local GW?
If you do, take it there and im sure that they would help you with the trickey parts

It might be usefull to have someone actually with you to show you, that way you can carefully observe the process
