THIS IS A OLDER MODEL I PAINTED IN 2004 FOR THE EYE OF TERROR CAMPAING
THE TANK IS NOW ON EBAY.
ANY IDEA HOW MUCH ITS WORTH ?

*first statement retracted as people with better eyes than I pointed out the star to me. I didn't see it at first, but I did see that the double eagle is plainly visible on the tracks of the machine.*

That said, it's a reasonably crisp paint job (I think) but is a bit on the boring side... If you want to sell it for more than you paid for you'll likely need to spruce it up some, throw on some bells and whistles so to speak. Also, if you want it to sell well I'd suggest new pictures, as these are fairly grainy and washed out, making it hard to really apreciate\see the model.

I don't know the worth of the model, however, that's a loyalist tank, not a chaos tank, and as such you'll likely do better if you list it under just "Land Raider" or "Space Marine Land Raider" rather than Plague Marines. Just as a suggestion.

If you look in the first picture, you'll see that there is are Death Guard and Chaos Star icons on the top of the hull. That makes them chaos.

I have no idea to to what to price it as, I would suggest you try and get better pictures though. The current ones don't seem to do it justice - or are at least difficult to see detail well at all.

Unless it has something special on it - with these pictures you are probably going to be disappointed for what it sells for. Definitely use more light when taking your pictures. These are very washed out and grainy.

Personally I think it looks like you have a clean paint job on it - but in my opinion the "chaos bitz" look hap-hazzard and slightly on the boring side. You might want to see if you can re-envision this to a more Nurgle look before selling. Unique items will sell for quite a bit more.

Ehhh... worth no more than a normal land raider, on Ebay, probably much less.

Not to be rude, but it seems like you simply put on some metal, maybe some dark brown/green (colorblind to those sometimes), some bitz and called it a day. I have nothing against simple, and definatley nothing against quick (I do a tactical squad in an hour and a half tops). What I do have something against is sloppy/boring (again: one man's masterpiece is another's slop, and vice versa.) Perhaps some better pics may prove me wrong...?

This doesn't seem to be a quality job I'd pay much for. Just my entirely honest opinion, take it or leave it. :)

It doesn't look very Nurgleish to me at all, save the symbol, I can still spy Imperial icons on there.
What it really needs is a more diseased look; try and model some giant boils arranged like the Nurgle icon and generally make it look sickening and slimy, and the metal could do with being really rusty and worn looking too.
At present, I doubt it'll fetch much on E-Bay...

If you are going to eBay that with minimal effort. I would remove all those stuck on extras and drill out the bolter barrels. Then spray that bad boy with grey primer, so that you can see it, in the new pictures that you will need to take, if you want potential buyers to be able to see it
Most of the people I know (myself inc.) who buy parts or whole kits from eBay, buy them to paint or convert themselves. So listing a kit that’s already had the mold lines removed, the joins filled and a nice coat of neutral primer, is much more appealing than one that looks like a lot of work
Other peoples personal tastes are hard to cater for keep it simple, appeal to a wider audience. IMO.
Good luck.

the landraider was painted by myself almost 4 years ago.
Its not a master class paint job. But it does look the part when its
next to the rest of my chaos army. Anyways im selling all my chaos stuff
to fund my new Tau army.
And just to let you know its going for £5.51 with 50 mins to go.
Im very happy with that.
Thanks for the help.
