AGREED

Need I say what I think of this so far? (Hint: Look at the above posts.)

I was thinking today how a Land Speeder Storm would work. I think that:

- The pilot has a remote control operating device; he goes with the rest of the squad.

- The gunner stays where he is and supports the squad.

- The rest of the squad jump out first, etc.

It just makes more sense - How can the Gun mount be fired without a gunner?

I'm not too sure if that was useful in any way, more confusing I'd imagine.

Considering there is 6 scouts with the landspeeder and that a squad of scouts is composed of 5 I guess that leaves the driver in the speeder while the others do what they have to do.

Otherwise:

So here is the progress. Still have to do the chipping on the central section holding the cables but this should give you a good idea! Otherwise my compressor blew in the process... arrrgggghhh....

**Blackbone**

Chipping looks amazing. Could you give us an idea of how you use the oil paints to accomplish the initial weathering? Thanks!

**jabbakahut**

how do you do your chipping?

**person person**

+1, It really adds to the model colour to the model.

**Wayfarer**

Ah yellow, the most superior of colors. I'm really looking forward to see where you're taking this one.

**grey_death**

Fantastic work so far. The oil weathering really starts to come alive once you get the chipping in. This will be a nice reference for the future ^_-. Can't wait to see it all finished and winning another demon for you!

**akaranseth**

So the speeder is now attached to the base and work continues!!!!!!!!

**Slappywag**

That look's amazing already. The fumes wear and tear at the back is looking real sweet. How you've got it too look that good already, weathering wise is beyond me.

Slappy

**Imperial Monkey**

It is pure unadulterated awesome that was made in a graet pose and is as we speak being painted brilliantly! or as the chavs here in Scotland would say
"Pure Mental!!"

**DrunkenSamurai**

Now I need to go an buy a Land Speeder Storm...I am going broke.

**Oshunai**

If you make that Land Speeder Storm any more awesome I'm sure my head will explode. Fantastic work throughout this thread.

**migsula**

Nice work and thanks for sharing!

I particularly like the direction of the wear and tear to emphasize the modus operandi and speed of the Land Speeder.

NMM gold seating?!? Awesome!

Awsomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's actually leather!

Last picture before leaving for Paris. The exterior of the speeder is done. I only have to do the interior and the scouts which received the base with the airbrush.

**Metsuri**

The weathering is looking great!

The interrior and details should really make the worn outside pop. Looking forward to the finished model.

QFT,can't wait for the next update.

**ratmkith**

Amazing work, I'll be studying this blog for a while I think.

**john q.**

Your Severius is fantastic, great work.

**fudal78**

I have to confess that when you first started this project I wasn't confident of how great it would look. But in just a few stages is very easy to see how cool this is going to be. The weathering alone has totally transformed the piece. I can't wait to see the details build up. I'm staying tuned to this one

**Gundam-Mecha**

Beautiful Landspeeder! I agree with Migsula also really great motion and dynamic feel also.

**Imperial Monkey**

Just WOW! I am so jealous of your awesome painting skills, how long have you been doing it for?

**Necros**

Can't believe I missed this. Congrats in advance for the slayer sword you're about to win

**akira5665**

Amazing effort, all round mate.

Excellent stuff. Compressor replaced yet?

Are you airbrushing the weathered look?

It all equals 100% Excellent anyway.

**Slain'e**

Looking forward to seeing this build completed, great work, keep it up......

**Gundam-Mecha**

I think that this project is a great example of how we can bring fantasy and sci-fi models "to life" in a really realistic and exciting way. Much like the Forgeworld Masterclass painting guide this speeder really showcases how we can pull techniques and methods from various modelling styles and mediums into 40K to add depth and character.

The chipping on this speeder is especially impressive and matches just as well in terms of execution and quality to chipping on professionally painted Military scale models.

**jabbakahut**

I totally agree with Gundam, some of the best modeling tips I've seen are from war diorama websites, those guys shoot for such a crazy level of realism.
