Deimos Rhino Doors on a Sicaran

[Apostle of the 30th Host]

In my 30k Thousand Sons army, I want to include a Sicaran Venator. To save points, I won't be using side sponsons, however, this leaves two circular holes either side of the Sicaran's hull.

 

So, I was wondering how a Deimos Rhino door would fit over this hole. I just noticed that ForgeWorld do a Thousand Sons specific sculpt and this would be a nice way of adding extra iconography to the model. 

 

For those who are unsure what I mean:

 

Will this...

…fit in this?

*Or at the very least, over that without looking noticeable too big. Perhaps if the hinges were cut away etc.

 

Would appreciate images if anyone has successfully done something similar - thanks!

Deimos Rhino door diameter is ~31mm, depending on how good a job the casters were doing that day.

 

The main sponson hole is something like ~24mm, with another 1-2mm of bevelled surround leading up to the side plate.

 

So, they won't fit, but they would cover it, and probably enough that you could even edge them forward a bit rather than centring them over the hole,  so they don't obscure the panel line at the rear.

 

I think they'd look odd just stuck on the side, but it's a solid enough chunk of resin you could consider extending the hole so they'd sit flush.
