You are correct - and I'm happy to say that they're mine... all mine!!!
They've all turned out even better than I expected.
All hail Machinator!
. . .
I want some...
Seriously though, Mach has made these things look GOOD. No longer "lol tiny box holds HOW many marines? it can also hold a huge gun?!" it looks properly scaled now...

You know you did a good job when you can get the customer to cackle evilly
Tonight I'll be gathering them up for a group shot then it's off to the shippers.

Other than that, some awesome work - I wonder if FW will do a version of the domed Predator at some point...
You sir passed the test.
Yeah someone else pointed that out too. I've just been to lazy to change it.
Given how FW is on a big pre-Heresy kick now I expect to see the old dome top Predator turret and sponsons return very soon. I think a lot of the old 1st edition stuff is going to be looked at again including the Predator, the Whirlwind, and maybe even the Sabre. There's a huge market out there for it.
The only think I didn't like about the 2nd ed Whilrwind (I'm not sure if you're counting the WD conversion article here) was keeping the turret in one piece.

Wow that's awesome, love their bulk.
If you picture some marines around it these things actually look like they could really be their transports rather than little boxes.

I am so up for a Mega-Land Raider! Let me see the merchandise and I will be one of the 1st customers!

Machinator is a Forge World onto himself - and these tanks are exactly what I envisioned when I started the commission process on these a long time ago, with another person.
I should have just gone straight to Machinator, but I am glad that this is where we've ended up...
I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Still mad as a hatter...but totally worth it! Your true-scale renditions are looking excellent so far, good sir! I can only imagine the awe-inspiring work that is still to come from you!
...as if THAT^ isn't already...

Me too, of course, but we must be patient!

Tue scale land raider? Yes please.
Due to unfortunate circumstances with a different modeller, I never thought I'd see these tanks in reality, so I am VERY happy with how they turned out.
Again, all thanks to Machinator!
And they fit well with the marines in my army...

One of these things is not like the other things... one of these things does not belong!
They really don't look that much different when you show them individually but are obviously bigger in a group shot... that's a testament to your modelling skills!

I'm looking forward to working on the machi-raider (I like the sound of that ) but will probably not be able to start on it until January or so. I still have some smaller commissions to finish up along with getting my assault speeders and some new Fellblade parts in my store.
Speaking of Fellblades, my other December project is a Falchion. What's a Falchion? Why it's the Space Marine version of the Shadowsword

GTFO of Here!!!! Will that be tru-scale? I am pondering on the cost of Shipping from the good old US of A?
