Though...wait is that a heavy bolter on a LRC? tsk tsk
So on a scale of 1-10, how doable is this project? My LRC is sitting semi-assembled on my desk, and this looks like a killer project for the spring.

hmm hard to say. the second one i made took me only a tenth in time ...
so i think 7,5.
on top ... - that's a melta ... ...

EDIT
Oh and MY GOD I CAN BLEIVE HOW SKILLED YOU ARE. THIS IS EPIC ... >fan boy mode off<
.
well ... currently all my channels available are already used by other functions.
but maybe i'll integrate the battereies in the external fueldrums to free some space for a second 5-channel reciever inside.
than i'd have enought channels to rotate the laserturrets, integrate a laserpointer in the maingun, put a rotating antenna on top, and maybe also move the siesponsons lower weapons for a few degrees on each side.
today i almost finished the cabling for the lights.
after sednign this post i'll visit my local RC-dealer to buy 5 more microservos, a laserunit, some connectors, some reistors and maybe also a mini searchlight with about 1cm diameter to replace the searchlight in the main turrets left side.

Winsauce. A random idea is have the assault ramp move up and down like Model Collector said, and have a spring mechanism so when it does open, a springloaded terminator (or failing that, a packet of tic-tacs) fires into the face of the enemy, last thing they'll expect, trust me. Especially if you use tic-tacs

ah i guess would have to make your own circuitry ... or use a fancy bit of gearing ... i used to have one where one motor would move a gear so it came in contact with different things and lock them in place ... want ether i'm happy to see if i can dig up copies
That is not fair man you need to do a how to article on these.

here's a technical question... what are you using for batteries? Ni-cads or dry cells (regular batt) cause your gonna have to open it up to change batteries if its dry cell, how about using Ni-cad/li-po battery and just hide a charging plug in one of the hatches so all you need to do is pop a hatch and plug it in...just wondering...
those are tracks off a M1a1 or patton tank huh?
the little lights that pop for driving and turret elevation are wired into the motor leads? and your gonna end up having to use a 7 channel surface use controller when this is all done...

i'm using ni-cads. today i integrated the charging function. i'll realize it exactly as you suggested.
yes, those leds are wired directly to the related motor.
...
.
meanwhile i mounted everything into the tank. the only thing missing is the laserpointer.
.
today i started with the shadowsword.
it'll get a working BB-gun, single wheel suspension and better treads.
the drivingwheel is custom made to fit perfectly in the tracks gaps and consists of 25 parts.
today there'll be no video but some pics showing you what i did today.
.
I love your work, but I am a bit curious: how much free time do you have to spend on this stuff? I have a young kid, so 5 hours a week is a clot for me. Considering the speed at which you produce everything from rc baneblades to wolf titans...

i think there should be a prize that goes to the person with the best projects.
The prize is this:
Whoever wins is given what tehy need for expenses for 6 months so that they can build warhammer
The winner for this year?

dayum, and I complain about having to finish my ravenwing bikers
Love the baneblade. This will definitely be the coolest apocalypse army on any battlefield. Can't wait to see them all painted up.
One word on the shadowsword though. I really hope there is some kind of safety cover on the BB gun. Having this thing on a tabletop full of meticulously painted miniatures and surrounded by unprotected eyes, I can only imagine how horribly horribly wrong accidentally pressing the fire button could go.
It would be funny to see the cannon accidentally go off and totally own some model right off the table though...well so long as it wasn't mine

here's what i did today.
i hacked 2 servos. modified their case, combined them in an angle of 90° to save some space, modified the electric parts, connected them again, and voila! .... - now the treads speeds no more fixed and can be controlled absolutely free.
