<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "My landspeeder interpretation - Converted landspeeder storm"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/73.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net My landspeeder interpretation - Converted landspeeder storm I finally painted my landspeeder.
As you may or may not know it's derived from a landspeeder storm. I used the crew to create some variation in my scout squads, leaving me with the remaining speeder.
So I bought some plastic card and covered the hatches.

I can run it as a typhoon or with 1-2 multimeltas. All the options are magnetized, allthough the second multimelta option (including a marine) isn't painted yet.

I consider the speeder/scout squad as my best kitbash/conversion to this point (not including single models like HQ).
It's fairly well executed me thinks, considering the fact that it was my first use of plastic card.

I hope you enjoy it!

Greetings, Tom

I was thinking about that. Could be done in no time.
Maybe there are more votes on this? ^^]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4192716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4192716.page GMT My landspeeder interpretation - Converted landspeeder storm btw it looks just like a forgeworld landspeeder that's an aircraft rather than a skimmer. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4192917.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4192917.page GMT My landspeeder interpretation - Converted landspeeder storm

The tempest?


Yep. I got the idea of the enclosed cockpit from that thing.
I think it makes more sense for such an high speed vehicle to have a bit more protection for the crew.

I'd simply measure the windows, cut out 2 matching pieces of styrene that size (pretty thick, close to 1/8th). I'd then cut an additional (thinner) plate as a "mail slot" to peep through, center that atop the plates, rivet the edges, prime and paint, and just glue right atop the existing windows.

It's a great conversion regardless, though!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4198784.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4198784.page GMT Re:My landspeeder interpretation - Converted landspeeder storm GW should just release a small sprue with the landspeeder for an option to make it enclosed.

painting the riders is time consuming and annoying. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4199064.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4199064.page GMT Re:My landspeeder interpretation - Converted landspeeder storm ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4199132.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445116/4199132.page GMT Re:My landspeeder interpretation - Converted landspeeder storm

Thanks for the constructive critique. There are so many people on different forums commenting on the windows I simply have to change them. ^^
I will post the changes when I'm done with the gunner of the second multimelta.
