blackblade68 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Any ideas on how to make this look like extra heavy armor? Maybe backed up with pics? Plus any other advice/comments are welcome also! I also have some "plasticard" it's actually 1.5-2mm plastic ABS material, but I assume it will work, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konrad blackheart Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 you could cut the plastic roof hatch in half and put the pieces on the upper part of the tread housings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Quick update. Everything you see is glued together. I cut one of the doors in half and I'm using it for the front armor. I also need to add some support for the extra armor on the back side. Let me know what you think. EDIT: Plus most gaps are going to be filled in with GS; also any place that isn't smooth will be smoothed over with GS as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 I can't decide which way I want to put the exhaust pipes... The front "armor"/doors are just taped on to give you an idea. Let me know which exhaust pipes you like better. Or any thing else I can improve upon. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazel Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 looking good so far.. i prefer the second exhaust pipes verticle... If you drove through a deep puddle you want them out of water :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Straha Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I like what I see so far. I agree with Zazel about the exhaust pipes. Some screening around the exhaust pipes would look good (check out regular military tank models). Also, more rivets around the extra armor would beef it up. What paint scheme are you going with. I'd avoid taking inspiration from the box art. :P Keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 I just bought a 1/16 hole punch so more rivets can be done. It's going to probably be my black and purple scheme. (check my gallery). But I'm going to try doing the "highlight" thing. I would try to do the "wash" thing but I have absolutley NO clue how to do that so.... I also like the second exhaust pipes as well, just wanted a second opinion. Thanks for replying by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dood515 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 wow, i love the old rhinos, and the rhino chassis tanks. i agree with people about having the exhausts vertical and i have a suggestion for the dozerblade, i think you should try and make a large vindicator-styly one for it as the old one really doesn't look very good imho, plus it doesn't fit the heavily armoured look your going for. +_+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Looks good so far. I actually "reclaimed" one of these a while ago. Unfortunately, due to the points cost, mine has only seen one game as a Razorback. It spends most of its time as a Rhino... http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...p;hl=reclaiming As far as the dozer blade...see if you can get your hands on one of the older IG dozers, or even one of the new ones. Both are actually able to fit under the chassis of the old Rhinos so long as you don't attach the underside hatches (cover them over with plasticard instead).

blackblade68 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 I actually started a thread on this earlier this year but can't seem to find it so.... EDIT: The "find topics" option on your user page would have easily found your first thread. Threads merged. I need some help with the front armor plates. I'm not sure what to put there or what it should look like. I've done the rivets. I'm going to be using TONS of GS on this. So the parts that are wobbly won't be near as noticible (hopefully). Anyway, looking forward to some comments. Thanks Brothers! (and Sisters as well!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester_prince Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Are you cutting your plasti card or snapping it? Its easyer and neater to score plasti card then bend it untill it snaps it should do it neatly aslong as your scoreing it neat. You could mabey try add some "assault" grenades to the front like the crusader and class them as your smoke grenades. What about a beefy looking plow rather thenm that flimsy looking spikey thing :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well it's not exactly plasticard. It's some stuff that I got at work...I think the thickness is just a hair over 2mm. It was the thinniest I could find. I'll try looking for an old imperial guard dozer blade. Any suggestions? EDIT: Thanks Kurgan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 As you can see I've created my own Dozer blade. I plan to add some rivets to the top portion. As well as to each mini blade. However the mini blades might only get 1 rivet each. I think it will look too crowded with 2 rivets on there. Tell me what you guys/gals think!

blackblade68 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm starting to think that I should do all heavy armor on the sides of the Razorback now....hmm..... Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Your plasticard work is actually really good i think. But i'm just not a fan of the old rhinos :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormDragon Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I like it. If anything I'd say you could do with some additional armour on the front in the middle rather than just on the sides, although it might be a difficult to get it to look right on that front... And on a personal note I think the rivets would look better if they were a bit smaller. But overall good job, I like it :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
