True Scale Rhinos, Predators, Vindicators, and oh yes...Land Raiders

[Darren Richardson]

That's not a Land Raider...

THIS is a Land Raider!

WOW that is one massive beast when scaled correctly.....

[Meph]

yeah, I sometimes ponder about that when painting SM vehicles. If a marine is supposed to be +-2.5m tall, and he he has to comfortably get out of a Rhino, that's supposed to hold 10 of those giants, even a humble Rhino is well over 3 meters tall. Which put a Land Raider well into the 'moving building' category.

[Houghten]

Why do you think he has to be comfortable?

[Meph]

Lol, well, comfortable might not be the exactly teh right word. I meant being able to get in and out without having to tiger-jump in and out through a tiny opening. Or try to get out of a top hatch without having to chop off his arms first.

More teaser pics of the True Scale Land Raider project both in its standard form and as a Crusader/Redeemer.

Now it just needs some tracks!

I've just found this thread and I must say outstanding work Machinator and you've given me the idea to now call my out-sized Baneblade a true-scale Baneblade. (Probably not)

One question; who is this long suffering client of your's that has been waiting for four years for these scratchbuilts, he must have the patience of Job?

Seriously how did you arrive at what would be "True Scale"; are there dimensions statistics written down somewhere?

Anyway kudos for excellent work.

Thanks Blackadder!

I cannot give you the client's true name but he goes by Alpharius on DakkaDakka, and yes he's been exceptionally patient in this build.

When we started this project he had in mind that "True Scale" would be about 20% bigger then the heroic 28mm scale Space Marines. But I believe I pushed it to 25% with these Land Raider as I wanted them to be HUGE

I plan to put together a basic "How To" along with some templates for those what want to try and build their own. Luckily I did a lot of the design work on CAD.

I love the over-under lascannon!

[Machinator]

At last, they are done!

Not just one, but two of these True Scale behemoths. Both are easily convertible between the standard Land Raider configuration and the Redeemer and Crusader.
