So what I have now is a standard land raider, and neither the heavy bolter, or the top hatch where I could put a multi-melta are glued, they are just sitting on it. So what I'm thinking is there must be some way fairly easy to remove the actual weapon from the door type frame it is on. This would allow me to easily make it swapabble into a land raider crusader with a kit listed on GW's website below.

Anyway, if anyone has experience or knows a way to remove the weapons without hurting them, please let me know, it will be greatly appreciated!

TLLCs use the same system.

In an ideal world, you could just pop those out, slap on some magnets, and call it a day. But glue and the whims of whoever assembled it might impact that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6069183.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6069183.page GMT Is it possible to remove pivoting land raider weapons?
Diluted acetone such as in fingernail polish remover will help you break up the superglue but you'll need to do some washing in mild detergent after. Just be careful when it comes time to removing the pieces so you don't damage the support rod or the part that actually glues into the Land Raider itself.

It appears like the top where the 2 gem-type lights are on the sponsoon is what is actually holding it in place, if this is removed I think I can remove the entire thing. I'm just worried about breaking it, but it's either that or keep the standard land raider.

Also, what do you guys recommend for a gun on the pintle mount of the land raider between multi-melta, hunter-killer missile, and storm bolter?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6070446.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6070446.page GMT Is it possible to remove pivoting land raider weapons? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6070901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6070901.page GMT Is it possible to remove pivoting land raider weapons?

If you are gentle enough it IS possible to prise the top and bottom of the housing apart enough to get the gun/support assembly out in one piece, although this will require removal of the targeting array on the top. Alternatively simply cut the support rod at the top and bottom and replace it with a piece of metal rod.


Yeah I was able to get one the cover on the guns off, and the guns themselves came were just snap-fit, now the only thing still holding it in is the sensor array, so should I just cut that at the bottom, and plan to reglue it without having it move as it currently does? This seems like it'll be a really easy conversion.

Yeah I ended up getting the sponsoons off with a little bit of prying, I imagine it will be hard to keep it swappable and leave the sensor array mobile, so most likely I'll just have that stuck in place with the rest being able to rotate.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6070977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6070977.page GMT Is it possible to remove pivoting land raider weapons?
Then you can use a bit of sprue-plastic and plastic glue to replace it for a single weapon.
Alternatively, you can stick a magnet in the place where the rod goes and equip your weapon parts with counterpart magnets.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6071058.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553391/6071058.page GMT
