How long did it take you to make the lander?

Yeah
Lander is very nice
ive decided to make mine as well, but havent decided about front part
teeth are cool - and i wil probably use them too, but that part in front looks like resin casted - i have doubts how to make cool cockpit from plasticard

Hi,
@Chris I would estimate it by ~5 hours including painting (I stripped the paint twice so I don't include it). Maybe more, but a lot of time was spent of trying to find the parts to use. I'll post the painted pics soon.

@AWu,
The most problem I had is the cockpit, I couldn't find anything to use, and in the end started by making a rough shape with plasticard, and covered it with Magic sculpt. It was smoothed with water, and the windows embossed, and after it was dry it was cut a bit and shaped. Not the best looking cockpit but I couldn't think of anything else .
The back part had some filters from a 1/35 sherman to use as burners, and spare parts from Japanese anime model, I guess that they can be easily replaced with plasticard parts or other bits

I'm really interested in seeing your Landa when you get to it,
Eyal.

heh
you got me
i was sure that cockpit was resin made - becouse of the colour ;>

i have fimo but i wont have cooking oven until october, so its no use to me :>

i wil have to think about something, unles i will get moment of clarity when i look at some strange unsuspecting component

Heya AWu, how did it come to be that you don't have a cooking oven? I like stories.

Hi,
This Putty is called Magic sculpt, very easy to work with, and dry in the air to rock hard.
Maybe the investment worth it, it doesn't cost too much. I got mine from Michigan toy soldier, and for Epic scale it should hold you forever.
HTH,
Eyal.

Hey braxat, I missed your stuff before during my haitus from this site, but it's really cool!    You're quite a wiz with the ole plasticard, I see  

Technicaly speaking
- who needs one ? :>

but the story is simple
we bought old wreck with of a gas oven our flat
it has working burners but oven works only as keeping space for frying pans

we being young married couples would hardly use oven (exept fimo of course :>
so until my wife wont chose and project her kitchen of dreams (including exchange of all kichen utensils) i dont have oven :>

itz quite easy
no kids, and if we want something cocked we eat it in the city :>

Very cool orks ! Impressive talent in scratchbuilding

Thank you very much ,
I really enjoy building stuff but I'm just a beginner, still a lot to learn  

I've painted the Landa, and did some more houses, these ones are bigger forts, before painting.









And the forts:

I intended to get a Gun fortress according to the army list I have, but made a mistake and got a battlefortress instead.
I really didn't want to spend more on another gun fortress, so I glued some plasticard pieces and some spares from the bit box and made a gun fortress out of it.

Hope you like,
Eyal.

Wow !!!  REally Nice !

Sweet fortress.  Modular fortresses is an idea I hadn't really thought of, but it makes perfect sense.

Thanks ,
I didn't actually thought of making it modular, just intended to glue the top to the chassis, but that you've mentioned it...

The battlefortress is a great platform for this type of conversion.
