Land Raider WIP Part 2

Work continues on the mighty Land Raider.

Step 4: Construction begins! - With the cabin interior done and most of the major bits of bodywork in a reasonable state, it's time to start putting this beast together. There are actually quite a few moving parts on many of the GW models nowadays, and the Land Raider is no exception. There's a rather neat mechanism for the front hatches for instance, but I'm not too keen on the interior sliding door at the side though.

Oops - bit of a smudge on the top hatch there but that'll be easy enough to sort out later. I was originally going to stencil / airbrush the insignia onto the side but I think it might actually be better freehand - depends how brave I'm feeling.

Next job is to get those lascannons bolted onto the sides - I'll be mounting these towards the rear of the vehicle - no special reason for this, I just think it looks better. I'll also be using the gunner / commander figures in this kit because if I'm bothering to make a good job of a tank this large, then I might as well cram as much interest / detail on there as possible. That's all for this week I think - back with more when I've got those complicated-looking guns in place.
