I don't know why I hadn't tried that!wall1
Thank you!
What did you cut the skewer in two with? Xacto? some other saw?
I've added some more details to the model (lots of rivets, and some parts from a Sentinel walker) and have now primered it. I'll post pictures tonight or tomorrow...
Good lord that's a lot of pieces! But what an extremely good looking paper model. Has anyone ever made a PDF of the part pages? I am on a MAC of Pepakura Viewer doesn't work. And I do not have a spare copy of Windows to make a duel boot.
Great build... that's insane with the tracks...
Added some more details. Built the HUGE twin linked bolters for the pintel mount. The barrels are Qtips with the ends wrapped with a strip of card stock. And added a site for each gun.
I've added some bits from some spare tank kits I had lying around. I glued some handles near the unload...
No idea Tirick I do not have an original one to go by for measurement. It's taller than the Mk IV, but it is not as "big", it's footprint is smaller.
I do know that Patorochs builds "seem" to be bigger than their plastic/resin kit originals whether by design or not I have no idea. But the...
I compared this model to a GW plastic Rhino kit and it is a bit larger than an official model (or the same Mark). I checked this because someone else I know built one of the Leman Russ models and said that the Patoroch model was also larger than his plastic kit.
I'll post the measurement...
Here are some photos showing the size differences (based off of Pataroch's new Land Raider template build). I say that because I know his models are actually larger than the resin/plastic counter parts.
Also note that the neither versions have their side weapon sponsons attached. This will...
It's actually based off the original Rogue Trader/1st edition WH40k Land Raider MK1. It is taller, but physically smaller than the newer Land Raider models available now(and considerably less detailed). I'll post a side by side of the two for comparisons.
@Beork - correct. I'll be painting...
Updated the thread. I am nearly finished with the tracks but haven't posted the images yet. Adding all the rivets and detail bits on the outer assemblies before finishing the details on the hull.
Note: Building this in 110lb card stock and laminated to cereal card has resulted in a very...
I started working on a project I've been wanting to do for at least 3 years (when I found out the template existed over at the BWC Archive) and that's the Land Raider Mk1.
Now I know a lot of people like the new Land Raider model, but I have a special fondness for this old kit. And I thought...
Nice to see someone modeling paper starships...
Battlefleet Gothic rules, templates, articles, etc...

Yeah I just wanted to show a colored version, I didn't clean up the edges because it's getting painted. Plus some of the laminate is cereal box card so it's brown.
I'll post updates soon.

If it's on an open shelf it gets dusting on occasion, compressed air (at a distance)...
Storage/plastic case is the only way to really keep dust away. That or an expensive air cleaner... since dust is 99% dead/ skin.

Most recent build. Completed smoke stacks, stowage boxed, Grenade Launchers and front piece. The last part is the final rivets. I've been hand cutting them out of card stock since I don't have a punch smaller than 1/16"... which is just a little too big.

Thread updated.
I am dry fitting the sides of the upper turret mounting area and assembling the tracks. There are no real guides as to where and how much of the area to cover with the tracks... so I might just do the entire things...which will mean printing off and extra set of tracks.
