There are part numbers, & no those are pictures from the pdf's. However there is nothing showing how it fits together other than a bunch of pictures.

Since Patoroch's Rhino MKV is Rhino/Razorback/Whirlwind I'm going to rearrange the parts and make Silhouette cut files for them using the maximum registration mark (10mm/10mm/10mm/26mm) available.
This way I can have 4 or 5 of them without having to hand cut all of it.

A piece needed was not in the pdf, it is not in any but one of the Land Raiders.

Battletech is 6mm, Mechwarrior AOD is 10mm. These should work perfectly.

I'll be using these for Mechwarrior Age of Destruction! Thanks for the heads up!

I've found 3 pdf's to an Imperial Train with no instructions just pictures. I'm going to redraw them in Illustrator and try to figure out how they fit together. These would simply be AWESOME for scenarios and for campaign missions. So if there is anyone out there that wants to help me figure out some comprehensive instructions I would welcome it.

eight pages but I don't have a laminator to laminate the parts. I will spray it down with flat matte spray when it is finished.
It is printed on 224 gsm cardstock and some of the parts are on 1mm mat board.

Well there is nothing they can do to me. I'm not offering the files, I didn't design the files, plus it is not an exact replica and after the Chapter House law suit that GW lost they have less room to bloat their over inflated chest.
The biggest thing they can use against me personally is the iconography.
I'm an old school 40K player. Back in the day they gave out plans on how to scratch build your own vehicles and terrain. Some times I wish they never went public.

He normally only shows a picture of the vehicle with the parts numbered like this. If the specific vehicle you downloaded did not have the instructions then you should try one of the variations of the same vehicle. i.e. 39_Razorback_LasCannon does not have instructions but the instructions for the Rhino will show you how to build it (granted the part numbers will be different but the shapes the same) as they have the same shape. The same goes for some of the Predator variants, if you go to an earlier one you will find instructions.

Getting there. Some tolerance issues, it must of been designed for thinner cardstock. If I make another I will have to add a few millimetres to a couple of parts. If I remember right I had the same issues with the Razorback.

He has now remade the Rhino Mk V which includes parts to switch the one model into a Razorback or whilrwind! He has also remade his Vindicator. I'm currently building my first Land Raider which I recoloured in Illustrator to match my Space Wolves.

Eli Patoroch has just uploaded a ton more models! Several Dreadnoughts, and Rhino chassis with all the options (Razorback, Whirlwind, etc.) in one file. *Edit* In two of the files he added Demonic Wings for Chaos Dreadnoughts and a large Jump Pack for Space Marine Dreadnoughts Best to download all of the Dreadnought variants as each one has different weapons added on. Magnets could make these really cool. I'm thinking my first one will mount a 60mm base and be wrecked.

I can't look at bugbait terrain he humbles me with his skill, supplies, and dedication! But seriously His stuff is amazing! I've not seen any of Tommyguns, but I did notice he replied a lot there.

So here is my progress. I'm trying to finish all of my half finished terrain in the next week so I can use it with the new 6th edition 40k rules. I made the Heavy Bolters 2x larger than they should be. I mean they will always be too large, I don't think I can make them as small as they are on the bastion. There are a lot of mistakes on this bastion (I've changed the plans accordingly) but it is a beta build. Some of the Industrial terrain I've been working on.

PWORK Badlands. - A 4mm bleed should have been added to the multipage version
- It ended up being 1.5" short on two sides. Different printers will never print the same image the same. Variations of color and dimensions can occur due to the age of the machine and the manufacturer.
I purchased the Ice one and the Badlands but now I'm wishing I had purchased the full size image as Adobe Reader has a Poster option and my printer can print full page. Plus you can add a user specified overlap with that option.

I have the GW Paint Gun and I've been shopping around for a beginner air-brush kit.
Yes I'm going to be painting it up in either standard Imperial Green or Space Wolves Blue-grey

Will you then be skinning it with your textured pieces? Should be sturdy, imposing, and a lot of fun I can't. Those textures are (C) by THQ/Relic, I've asked if anyone can make textures for it but no one has taken the bait.

Okay I'm done with my first one. Here are the major problems that I will have to fix on my next one. The cover that goes over the Heavy Bolters is too short, probably due to the thickness of my cardstock. Both sides of the Chassis is too short, again probably due to my cardstock. The small tabs that go on the door, I'm going to redesign them to go through the door, glued on from the back. This will increase their stability. On the half built Rhino I made they all broke off. I messed the tracks up big time. They seem longer than they need to be. I have parts left over due to them not being on the instructions.

Quick question: What weight card are you using? 110? Since moving to the U.K. I've really grown found of the metric system. I say this because I really don't like the paper weight lbs. system. It has nothing to do with the thickness of the paper where gsm (grams per square meter) does. As far as I can tell 224 gsm = 151.3 lbs. That is what I'm currently using. However 110 lbs. would work as you also need .5 mm (cereal box) and 1 mm card (mat board) so these will sandwich the card stock making it very durable. Although I must say some parts are a bit unrealistic so I left them off knowing they would just end up getting ripped off. I'm going to be making some changes the the Razorback/Whirlwind/Vindicator chassis. There are a few parts that just need to be longer, and a few parts that are better from his later models that I want to switch out. Also the Twin-Linked Multi-Melta is not an option for the Space Wolves were the Twin-Linked Flamer is so I will have to take the Heavy Flamers from the Baal Predator and kit bash them into a turret for the Razorback.

It does have potential. I really like the flight base.

I've been messing around with Eli Patoroch's 40K vehicles for a little while and discovered that when opened in Illustrator it retains all of its parts which makes them really easy to edit. These are the most time consuming models I've ever built and having built everything that Ebbles has produced that is saying a lot!! My first attempt is the fully three dimensional Rhino MKII with interiors I'm almost finished with it and I plan on making it terrain as the doors really don't stay shut. I plan on recreating GW's Battlescape using WWG Hinterland My current model is the Razorback MKII and I'm making one of each turret - Twinlinked Heavy Bolter
- Twinlinked Las Cannon
- Twinlinked Multi-Melta
- Las Cannon and twinlinked Plasma.
For this one (unlike the one in the pictures above) I scanned in images from my Codex and water transfers and made vectored symbols as I am making Harald Deathwolf's great company and those symbols are just not readily available. This is my Long Fang Razorback MKII. I plan on making one for my Elites as well but give the option to replace the turret with the radar dish from the Domcles. Problems I have with these models is that the instructions are scattered over several models. So you may be looking for what to do with part 23 but it won't show you. You have to look at a similar model find a part that matches it (but it may be called part 38) and hope it is shown on the picture. I plan on making a new set of instructions with each part having the same number system. So part 23 will be part 23 on all the MKII chasis (or all tanks but the Land Raider). More to come.

The Heavy Gun drone looks great. The gun assembly looks quite labor intensive. It is really not bad. the only difficult part was the cylinders of the gun barrels.
