This afternoon I tore apart a cheap, and badly built, Land Raider Redeemer from eBay and built myself an Ares. Thought I'd share it with you lot.

From this:



To this:



The original model had the Flamestorm cannons in the wrong position, and a set of Salamander Doors (which I managed to salvage and stick on eBay), so I stuck her in the freezer for a couple of hours then snapped it in half down the edge. After trimming the Demolisher front, it fit in great.

The trickiest bit is extending the Siege Shield, which had to be even larger than normal because of the spaced armour, but some plasticard did the job fine.

I'm waiting to get some FW doors, but I think I'll paint the rest up in the meantime.

Thanks for looking.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761416.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761416.page GMT Land Raider Ares - rescued from a badly built eBay lot.
Seriously though it looks a lot better than before.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761447.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761447.page GMT Land Raider Ares - rescued from a badly built eBay lot.
It's great to buy dodgy models off eBay and turn it into a nice model. Very eco friendly apart from the cheap price.

Good work!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761523.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761523.page GMT Land Raider Ares - rescued from a badly built eBay lot. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761563.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761563.page GMT Land Raider Ares - rescued from a badly built eBay lot. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761982.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535021/5761982.page GMT Land Raider Ares - rescued from a badly built eBay lot.
