I finished up my Land-Speeder conversion to add some zippy firepower to my Marines. Speeders are cool, but I've never been a fan of the exposed crews and went poking around the internet for some conversion inspiration. I came across this fantastic one modeled after the Diamonback from Starcraft II by fellow Dakkanought Flinty, and I basically just copied it whole hog. The little hover feet make it look a lot more agile than just the "flying shoe" silhouette.





This is probably the most involved plasticard build I've done, and required a lot of measuring out weird angles on the computer, printing out a template, and cutting it from there. The joins are a little squadgy in places, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Wowowow so cool!

Thanks for the name check as well

Your plasticard work is super smooth and I love the highlights.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

That's a great way to not have to deal with the crew compartment. Excellent paint job!

Very cool conversion, this looks so much better than the standard GW speeder.
