Tyriks Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Has anyone here built an Achilles? If so, what size are those doors behind the sponson guns? They look like rhino doors to me (two hinges instead of the normal three for a Land Raider). I am considering one as a fun centerpiece model, but if I'm doing that I want to upgrade the doors, but I don't know if any will fit. Anyone know?

BrainFireBob Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I would expect it to use a LR base and therefore LR doors Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353562-achilles-land-raider/#findComment-5247159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat33.1 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I would expect it to use a LR base and therefore LR doors It has sponsons for the multimeltas and they cover the stock doors. I think the OP is correct about rhinos doors but I'm not 100% certain so hopefully somebody that has built one recently can confirm?

BrainFireBob Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Never mind. Looks like it uses the Mark IIB Land raider mounts, that kit specifies Rhino doors https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/MKIIB-Land-Raider-2018 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353562-achilles-land-raider/#findComment-5247274 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat33.1 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I preferred the version of the Achilles they made without sponsons but sadly that version has gone to the skip full of old FW moulds now I guess Thanks to BrainFireBob for spotting the correct information for us Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353562-achilles-land-raider/#findComment-5247761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 FW finally responded to my email and they confirmed that they use Rhino doors. PJ1933, do you have a picture? I never really looked at FW until I got back into the hobby in 2015 so I am unfamiliar with the old model.
