spagunk Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 I really need a light box (I have stuff to make it, just not effort ) so that I can get good pictures. Shadows are being jerks in these mobile phone pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blustorm Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Oh my stars, someone who actually paints the interior of a Land Raider! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I paint all my transport interiors. My tanks (predators) don't get painted interiors. Instead I glue old 2nd edition Rhino front tank hatches on the back so it looks like the it's got more room: I'll have to take a picture so you can see it. Makes it look more like a tank and less like a converted transport. That and the whole "overcharge" engine thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 One problem I have is that in order to rush things a bit for an event I will be attending, I didn't dirty up the insides any. I am not planning to glue the top piece of the raider until after I go in and add some scuffs, dirt and scrapes. Much harder to do with the thing halfway put together but I'll manage. The other thing I wish I had was a second set of interior doors. They only give you the computer console/Utility closet and one set of doors. Would really like to cover up the vacant spaces for completeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Why would you glue the top on and restrict the ability to see inside so drastically after spending the time to paint all of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Because I am a weirdo? And I may be putting LED lights inside. I don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Because I am a weirdo? And I may be putting LED lights inside. I don't know. I've met a few players that insisted on painting the interior, and then gluing them in a manner where you couldn't actually see the paint job. I would put you in the Hobby Enthusiast group, not the weirdo group. The main arguement for doing this seems to be the painter cares, "because he'd know," if the model was fully painted or not. Regarding LEDs and other extras. I haven't really messed with them, but I did see someone who had converted their Land Raider so it was a remote controlled car. His arguement was that if he was going to spend full price for Land Raider, he may as well spend more and make it an amazing land raider. His had full FW thousand sons upgrades on it, too.

spagunk Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 The front doors aren't glued shut so those are open to see the inside. Even with my Rhino's/Razorbacks I keep the doors open to see the inside. The LED's would give it some light so that you can see the details since it's much deeper than Rhinos are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I've seen that army. So that's you, huh? Up against the only girl at the guardian cup....She's a fun a opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I've seen that army. So that's you, huh? Up against the only girl at the guardian cup....She's a fun a opponent. It was brutal, yes. I mean she had a real good attitude but definitely was an effort in futility against her army. So many saves against anything I shot with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
