Normally, I'm pretty good at figuring out the method I will paint something as far as the steps in which I will do it. Now, if anyone has assembled and painted a Land Speeder of any variant, you know that they are kind of a pain. When I fist started modeling and painting a few years ago, I picked up a Land Speed Storm (which is an awesome model, by the way) that I assembled, primed black, and airbrushed ultramarine blue, never to be touched until earlier today. Luckily, I assembled it with GW plastic "glue" so I was able to take it completely apart and clean up mold lines I missed and the over ambitious gluing that the novice me didn't care about back then. Now it is sitting on my desk, completely disassembled, and I have spent a considerable amount of time thinking how I will paint and assemble it and while I have a few ideas, I've haven't come up with a sold plan.

So the point of all this is: has anyone built and painted a Land Speeder Storm and if so, how do you go about doing it?

I just finished doing the partial assemble on mine and it’s in the to-prime pile.

Interior/underside/metal bits are done will be done in black with a heavy silver drybrush

Most of the body will be done with a DA green base, with black and brown stippled on for a simple camo (matching my scouts)

Details picked out as needed.

I’m planning on flying mine empty, with just the pilot and gunner.
