But while digging about on Easter Sunday, I stumbled upon a Land Raider Crusader kit that I must have started 8 or 9 years ago. I was painting the models on the sprue, much like how I did the Drop Pod actually, and probably moved before I could get to far into it.
I started to get back into it right around the time the Space Wolves Codex came out a year or so ago, only to find out that the metal blister packs inside were identical! This would make it impossible to build this correctly, and GW had long since cancelled this kit (the current Land Raider Crusader is all plastic). So, I went ahead and ordered the plastic sprue directly from GW. This would prove to not only be a more tactically advantageous option as far as the game was concerned, but also a more stable choice as well (plastic/metal hybird kits tend to be fragile).
So I got quite a bit done that night, which I shall detail in the next post (I'm just out of time tonight!)
But here is a glimpse:

lol, the interior of my old crusader is fully painted, and if you open the front hatch & hold it to the light, and angle it just right....you can see some of it.
Crazier people, or rather the more dedicated, even has theirs light up! I'm consider magnetizing the sponsons for removal though, and that would allow more light to get in for those who really want to see the inside. I thought about getting some of those bulk plastic marines from Charlie, and have them all standing within waiting to disembark. Or mount them in the next drop pod. Could take me forever to do it though, but man would that look cool...
Nice job Joeleee! Very pretty.
