The Land Speeder Storm must be about the most complex model you can get from GW these days. I have a lot of experience with GW Kits and although I have not built all of their models, I can not imagine that you get so much for your money in another of their products.
I built it to specs with all the care I could spare and must say that I am impressed. You do not only get the speeder itself- which has alot of detail on it's own (cockpit, spare weapons on the walls,...), you also get the crew and four passengers. I have even seen people build the four scouts in the back in a way that they can even be used in games as standalone models. I didn't do that since I think with the exception of two models it requires a lot of remodeling to get that done convicing.
For now I took my time to paint all the scouts separately to get them to a top notch standard. Pictures of them will follow later but for now I have started painting the skimmer. Five layers of bleached bone if you are interested- phew(not counting the primer and washes)
Next steps is the red basecolor and then the shading starts.

Open topped vehicles are great delivery systems, even if they are only delivering a bunch of wannabe-marines. I mean scouts.
And the bleached bone looks great.
