-JK- Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 So while I was waiting on replies for this topic, ( http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=194876 ), I started work on my Rhino modifications. For starters, here are some pics of my assault cannon replacement for the standard storm bolter. Let me know what you think! Any further suggestions and ideas are welcome http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5170.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5171.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5172.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5173.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5174.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 That's a very creative use of bits. Well done. My only suggestion - maybe cut a grove on the side to represent the breach/ejector? ~Ani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 looks a nice bit of work. as above, ejector port on the side. and that ammo box won't last long :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicar Valius Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 You could just add a belt feed to the box, otherwise that really won't last more than a few seconds. Once per battle maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JK- Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 It is still very much work in progress: I was going to do a breach when I get around to mixing up some green stuff for some other stuff I need to do. As far as the ammo box is concerned, that's the smallest box I've got. I'm quite tempted to just run a belt feed from one of the massive ammo boxes off the dreadnaught assault cannon arm! If anyone has any ideas as to what to do for the rest of it; don't hesitate to inspire me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicar Valius Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Just realized: Shave off the mold lines! ;) How about a bomb loaded rhino. Gives a whole new meaning to sacrifial squad. Also u ever seen the newest Death Race film? U know the RPG rockets that Joe has in the last race? Try and do that with the IG chimera hunterkillers... Would be pure epic win.

sword brethren Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i mounted the twin linked bolter onto the front of the chasis rather than pintle mounted i also though of have a turret, like a pred but just a storm bolter or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JK- Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Haha... not sure I'm into the kamikaze Rhino idea... And no, I haven't seen the new Death Race, only the original one so I'm afraid I'm not familiar with what you're referring to, Valius. Sounds pretty dangerous though... I think I've decided to go with an 'open hatch' look, and rather than change the assault cannon to be belt fed, I want to put a marine in the back who is loading up new boxes of rounds for the guy blamming away up in the top. I plan to have this guy working overtime and being showered with shell cases everywhere! Below is a sort of mock-up of what I intend to try. Anyone got any opinions on this? http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5187.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDuke Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Yeah I would say don't go down the route of suicide rhino. I posted a link in your other thread in the PCA section about someone shooting out of a side hatch, but I really like what you are doing here. Something very different to anything I have seen before, and you are executing it very nicely. ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denrik Greymane Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I really like that assault cannon mount, looks seemless. And very possible =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JK- Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 UPDATE: Here's a couple of pics of the starting development of the marine in the back. Nothing immensely exciting, but it may be of interest to some. http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5196.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5195.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5194.jpg Will keep this thread updated with lots more (interesting!) pics, as and when the Rhino develops.

-JK- Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Back hatch guy is now pretty much finished in terms of assembly. Here he is: http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5204.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5200.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5199.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/Works%20in%20Progress/IMG_5198.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 i also though of have a turret, like a pred but just a storm bolter or something. The Missile Arm off a plastic Dreadnought does quite well for this (here with an S.O.B stormbolter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loken86 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 i like the assault cannon idea and the marine in the hatch nice job brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 This is an awesome idea. With the ammo dude in the back of the rhino, I cant help but feel the arm holding the ammo crate should be a little higher, like he's reaching it out to the gunner. But thats just me. Keep it up!

Race Bannon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Heh, the pintle mount will break off at first shot :P Very well done :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekLee688 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Love the ammo guy idea. How many people paint the inside just to seal it off forever? Everyone plays theirs with hatches sealed, its nice to see one open and creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 That is incredibly seemless and add so much character to the humble rhino I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxyogi Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 All coming along nicely!! Like the mini turret idea.........consider that stol.......borrowed!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
