Topic: WH40K land raider

[khaxan]

This is an approximation of the WH40K Space marines' land raider. I'll go for imperial fists color once I know how

The initial attempt:


the core hull from dollar tree. I eventually used 3 of it to make a wider hull and a top.


The hull would be great for most 1/18 figures. But since this is space marines, it needed to be wider to make place for treads, headlights, storage, etc.

That turned out pretty cool! It's a great inexpensive base for a vehicle.

Now this is daggone fantastic for the amount you have in materials. I like it a lot!

Thank you so much!
One hull would take 12 1:18 figures with their bases easily. so there is good potentials for Mark-V like tanks.


~10$ CAD in new materials:
3 stack-able storage boxes = 3x1.5*1.13
2 side boxes =1x1.5x1.13
1 pack of 6 transparent cups for back engines = 1*1.5*1.13 only 2 out of 6 used

+ probably another 10$ worth in paints, bits, parts, glue, cardboard, etc.

The work continues:

I find this equally brilliant as amazing! To me THIS is the definition of buildung custom vehicles.
Your Land-Raider looks absolutely epic especially considering it's made of a couple tool boxes. Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring project!

Hard to believe you are creating something that awesome for that cheap.

Thank you all, Imperial shipyard has always been a great source of inspiration!!

I tried to get a similar color to the imperial fists but, oh well... I'll keep trying

Looks spot on to me. These just look tough.
