BEFORE: As you can see, this landraider crusader I got off ebay is covered in about 4ft thick paint and missing some hatches and sensors etc. I plan to fix it up and make a decent model out of it!
Here we have the same landraider, yet I've stripped off all that nasty paint. Some residue is left, but that isnt anything a stiff toothbrush cant dig out. A good primer will cover anything left.
And now we have added some bits. This model didnt come with BT upgrade doors and whatnot, so I kinda made my own with bits. Also the missing hatches and left sponsor sensor (added as of these pics) has been replaced. All it needs now is a good primering then the painting work will begin!
This isnt limited to vehicles either check out the minis I got:
This is the quality of the mini I got 2nd hand. The base is terrible, the pose is terrible, and the paint is terrible. Some of the lesser fortunate ones had broken heads, and arms which I have since replaced before photos.
Here is one of the batch I stripped and repainted to show the tabletop quality I'm trying to get them all up too (ignore the base):
and there you have it! The Start of a sister blog to docment my progress with another army!
