Yeah, crappy picture. I'll take better ones when it's "done"
Right now, I'm kind of lost as to what to use for the axles. (real lack of money right now)

My original Mk 1 Land Raider can (sort of) be seen on the right.

What Axles are you referring to?

If you mean the end of the road wheel axle just use a plastic disk or bit of rod cut off.

If you mean the pivots on the track links use plastic rod.

Axles? Styrene Rod from Plastruct (http://www.plastruct.com/Pages/OnlineCatalogIndex.lasso) or Evergreen Scale Models does the trick nicely.

Looks like I'll be cutting plastic (or cardboard) disks out, then covering with the tracks.
I'm REALLY short on funds right now and trying not to spend any money on this project.

Painting, but the store nearest to me is out of the GW red gore I was using, and doesn't have the Reaper equiv.

The Blood God is displeased at having to wait to finish it....

Got some scab red and finished it up (close enough to red gore that it worked out) and took a few pictures with the good camera.

Now debating if I want to do rhinos, of if I'd get in trouble since those are "cheap" and actually available.
