vim_the_good Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hey there all. Well I picked up a new Rhino so my troops don't have to run everywhere and thought I would paint the interior this time as I lazily missed this part on my Land Raider. So here I go... First off I hinged the top hatches using a 1mm drill bit and some 1mm wire. Works really well and easy to do. http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010317.jpghttp://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010318.jpg http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010319.jpghttp://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010320.jpg Next I hinged the side hatches using 2mm magnets. The result is surprisingly good but if I was to do it again I would use the same technique as the top hatches. http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010323.jpghttp://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010324.jpg After doing the hatches and painting the interior it seemed dark so I sort of had a brain spasm and thought I might as well go and light the thing... with no equipment or soldering experience :unsure: After about a week of looking at soldering tutorials and getting my hands on some stuff. This is where I am. Leds fitted and soldered. Even used shrink wrap :D :D http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010334.jpghttp://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010341.jpg Unfortunately I had well and truly glued on the front of the Rhino before I decided I would light it. I couldn't hinge the front to insert the battery so I made a hatch on the bottom. http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010331.jpghttp://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010332.jpg This left no space for the switch so I put that on the inside of a side door. http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010330.jpg So far this is what the inside looks like. http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010340.jpg It's been great fun learning how to solder and build simple circuits. I would defiantly recommend it :) Next post I should have started on the outside.

Kierdale Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Very nice work! Will have to do that when I get a rhino! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259193-rhino-project/#findComment-3152685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 That is really cool! Maybe one day I will be brave enough to try this.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259193-rhino-project/#findComment-3152767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks for the "why didn't I think of that" moment with the 2mm magnets. Totally gonna do that now. You could even paint battle damage inside the door, so that a wrecked rhino looks wrecked when left on the table....

vim_the_good Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hey all Thanks for the feedback. @AlexCrute. Notice on the last photo of the previous post. The hinge on the right hand side fits better than the one on the left. This is definitely a case of measure twice, cut once :P If I had gotten the rest as good as that one I think I would have been happy with the result. So go for it. For everyone interested in the electronics. I used a 9v battery, 2* red LED(2v 20mA) which equals 270ohms resistor... or use this site to calculate :ermm: A photo of the interior without red light and... http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010342.jpg ...what do you think of the wire catcher. Is it SM? I kind of like it but not sure. http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010343.jpghttp://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/vim_the_good/40K/P1010344.jpg Cheers Vim Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259193-rhino-project/#findComment-3153902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
