circus1943 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Just recieved my rhino doors from Forge World and they don't fit! It seems they are too big and I don't know what to do. Is this a common problem? If so, what have you done to make it work? I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow.

Grotsmasha Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 It really depends on how tight the 'fit' is. If its pretty close, you could use the flat of a blade in the places that are catching, might take 2 mins. If it's due to bending and warping, a good soak in some really hot tap water will allow you to bend them back. If they're massively oversized, maybe they sent you LR doors?

Seleucus Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Normally, they are too small due to shrinkage! Sounds like a judicious use of the file will be required. They are Rhino doors and not Landraider ones sent by mistake?

circus1943 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Yes, they are Rhino doors, no question about that. I'll get a picture up tomorrow and I'll show you how it looks. Also the front plate is a bad fit and quite thin.

CarbonCopy Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Those look fine to me. Just carefully shave them down a touch with a file or emery board.

chromedog Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That front hatch looks like the mould wasn't secured properly to prevent undue expansion during casting (polyurethane resins expand as they cure, as well as get hot). The indent at the bottom is due to some squeeze applied removing it before it hardened sufficiently (a few of the poly resins state demoulding times of 10-15 minutes, but they are still rubbery at that point, and flexible and any bending will stay that way as it cures.). You've gotta sand that sucker back to make it fit. No way around it.
