Grotsmasha Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 So as the title states, a TS Rhino based on a LR conversion (this is for a True Scale DA successor chapter I'm working on, Post is in the DA section), I thought I'd throw it up here as, imo, the conversion seemed fairly quick and easy compared to a complete scratch build with templates, might help/inspire someone else out there. Scale shot with my TS marines Scale shot vs. normal rhino So, as you can see top hatch, and front plate TBC Cheers, jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarasinCreed Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 That is pretty cool man and the scale seems to work just right. Good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Wicked :D I was asking around a while back on how to go about making a TS rhino, a shame the parts are from such an expensive kit :D . Now really wow us, and make a True Scale Landraider :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavulg Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 True-scale Rhinos don't need to be that big. Indeed, they arguably aren't necessary at all. APCs look a lot bigger than they actually are. I did a comparison of an old Rogue Trader Razorback and a Bradley many moons ago (see here, and the short version is that the old Rhino is just about proportional with the new Space Marines. And the current version of the Rhino is bigger. They already are true-scale. That said, it's a nice looking Rhino. :D Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thankyou everyone for the kind words, Firepower: ebay is your friend, there are several ebay shops that you can pick a LR chassis for $30 to $40 US., thats 1/2 price for me here in Australia. Octavulg: I will answer with a pic It's just an imagery thing, but, the GW standard rhino "may" be able to squeeze in 12 GW Space Marines (Driver, Character, 10 Man Tactical) , but there's no way it will cut it for my TS marines. Besides, while not necessary, but painful and expensive (like GW isn't expensive enough), like my mumma always said' "If you're gunna do something, do it right".

Grotsmasha Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 OHHH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! ITS BEEN A MONTH !!!!! Sorry to all who have been following, I got sick then xmas, then sick again, but now I'm back and I've alot to share. First off, I've recieved my Scribor Lion Helms and Shoulder Pads, I'm a little disappointed with the pads, they aren't as "plug and play" as I'd thought. The detail and casting is awesome, the insides don't really have any room to accommodate anything, like a PA or TDA arm...and are a little oversized for my liking. The Helms , on the other hand are perfect replacements for PA helmets. Also recieved my Bitspudio Turrets for my Land Rhino. They are pretty good, about an 8/10 for casting quality, really happy with them, I'll be ordering more with my public holiday pay. PICTURE TIME !!!! The first two are just the progress on the Land Rhino The next three are the Bitspudio turrets with my wip Predator sponson So, the Rhino side hatch and sponson are magnetized for easy configuration. I've decided I'm going to build six of these (slowy) all being able to be configured as Rhino/Razorback/Predator and the Mauler/Ridgeback (Rhino varient will sponsons and 10 marine capacity), which i was introduced to in a Marauders post over in Hall of Honor and two with removeable Vindicator front plates. As the Land Rhino prototype draws to and end I find myself dreading the Baneraiders return...... Cheers and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all Jono, out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
