So heres my latest project, this scratch build took me 3 days not counting waiting for the tracks and engine to come in the mail. I didn't use any templates, I just went by sight. As for scale, it is slightly wider than a regular one, but every other way it is the same and a GW LR.





Unfortunately, I do not have any army that I can put him in. I have a Crimson Fists army that I don't really want to grow, plus nurgle which I already have 3 LRs.
I guess it will just sit in a box until I find something to do with it lol

That is probably the best land raider I've ever seen!
the only thing that looks a bit wonky is the front part that covers the treads.
Can't wait to see it painted!!
What chapter is it for?

It's a little rough around the edges in some places, and the big flat panels could use some detailing. I'm thinking rivets all around. The front is a little wonky but workable. I'm impressed though; I was expecting something nowhere near as good.

Pretty much agree with this.
Looks very impressive for being scratch built.

@MR.Awsome1 As for the tread covers, I was going for the layered armor effect thats in alot of the pre-heresy stuff, but I will probably redo it because it didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped. And I don't have any plans on how to paint it.
@Brother SRM As for the open spaces, I didnt even think of rivets.

I think there are a few more details I can add, thats why I'm kinda glad I do not have plans of painting it at the moment.
Any suggestions of how I can fill those blank spaces, or fix the "wonky" parts would be Great!

The only criticism I have is the pylon that the lascannons are on. They could either be thicker or have a panel covering them more. A much better scratchbuild than I could do that's for sure.

That's amazing! It's like the FW MKII land raider on roids. Two questions, what is it made of, and where did you order the tracks and engine parts from?

Thanks for all the C&C. I should have put this in wip because as I look at this critically, I now want to do some revisions, primarily to the front. As for the lascannons I will replace the tubes with bigger ones, that's just all I had at the time.
As for the parts, the tracks and engines I got from an eBay seller called machinator248 and the heavy bolter turret is from bitspublo.
(and the whole thing is made of plasticard of varying widths)

Great work chicken. Truly amazing. I was at first critical that you'd gotten some bogus resin-cast Land Raider and you were trying to put it over as 'scratch-built.' I had to look really closely to prove otherwise. Awesome stuff!

a bit flat but damn.. i would make tons of these if i could great job!
