Save the Vindicators!

I won an bargainous Ebay auction a few months ago that contained a dozen or so terminators, 50 different power armoured marines, a variety of marine heroes, a vindicator, a landraider and a landspeeder.

What was clear was that the auction picture didn't show the bad build and paint job the previous owner had made of everything. Undeterred I've pressed on to work on it bit by bit.
