Hi everyone, for the last couple of weeks I've been scratchbuilding one of Eli Patoroch's Land Raider models (the Land_Raider_II_2009 model). It's a mixed-media build, ...
Here is the tank track construction I mentioned. I used Eli's tracks as a template, and glued the pieces to a piece of paper that ...
This post shows the tank track mold making and casting processes. I got this right through a bit of trial and error... In the first ...
Assembling the tracks: I used index card strips to get my centerline, then started gluing the tank tracks...
Added headlights and engine exhausts. The headlights are discs, the larger ones have some thin guage electric wire I scrounged from work as cages. The ...

The main gun has these disks that fit around the barrels, with all sorts of stuff going on. So I cut the disks out of ...
Added all the detail around the main gun, looks pretty neat, at least to me. In the last photo you can see the starboard swivel ...
Ha. Built the starboard sponson swivel gun, then realized afterwards I had built the mirror image gun armor plate. Sigh. Luckily it is not that ...
