<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Inverted land raider tracks?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Inverted land raider tracks? Anyway I'm interested in inverting the a land raider's tracks so it kinda looks like a ww1 tank (the british mark 1 tank for example) and I was wondering if anyone knew of any articles on this or pictures of this(because I'm sure I've seen it done before). Thanks. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270891/1204342.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270891/1204342.page GMT Inverted land raider tracks?
but i imagine it would require alot of cutting as it would be a bit of a dodgy fit most probably.

Now, that image above of the tank towing the gun, THAT looks like a proper sci-fi'd WWI tank. Huge sponsons and all.

It's not actually towing a gun. The trailing wheel assembly was a feature of the Tank Mark I, had something to do with steering it.

It didn't really work, so they omitted them in later Mark Is and on all the following models in the series.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270891/1208464.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270891/1208464.page GMT Re:Inverted land raider tracks?

it should help you work out how it'll be pieced together.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270891/1208696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/270891/1208696.page GMT Re:Inverted land raider tracks?

Sorry, just because the treads arent covered doesnt mean that WWI tanks werent a reference point. Which in this reference WWI tanks were in deed a reference point for the design and creation of the Mk I LR tanks.

I agree that the other tank you mention looks more like a WWI tank though and i like it alot. But with that said, you need to detract more to help lesson the noticiability of the design.

But, looking good from what i have seen here on the thread. Enjoy and keep making more.
