Took a day to paint, and about 3 days in between work to build.  these are part of my 1500 point battle force.  The preds you can see in the modelling section if you already have not seen them.  My Sw marines are there as a size comparison to the rhinos and the normal GW sized marine.

Rhinos.
*They remind me strongly of the jawa sandcrawlers in the original Star Wars. That?s not my personal taste but if you look the style then excellent.

*The first picture appears to show some warping on the top flanking plate. I do not know if that?s intentional or not.

*May I suggest the painted teeth are a little more pointy. Right now they are rounded and it looks like the rhino is smiling not baring its fangs. Ok, truthfully it looks like when my 8 year old daughter did teeth last year. All her animals smile, even lions, and it looks like that. Disconcerting to see a drawing where lions, fish, people, and even birds are all smiling at you. Forces..you..to?be..cheerful?ughh good spirits?overcoming me?

*I could see some wolfie graffiti on the back of one but mind is pretty warped. ?Sven is an anklebiter? in one bottom corner just speaks to me.
?Russ was here?
?Bjorn rules, Lion el drools?

The top flanking plates are not warped they are meant to be like that.

Your right about the teath, will try sort that out.

Wow these are awesome. Cant wait to see what else you do. Hopefully you wont have to many problems with opponents who will see the sheer coolness of these tanks nad be to awestruck to moan about weapon mountings etc

Mhhh...I'm not that sold on these Rhinos. After your american space wolves Predators, I expected some modern Army style with your Rhinos.
These Rhinos remind of these small spaceships Star Trek is famous for.

Shuttles?

I hate to critisize others work, especially as it seems like you put quite some effort into these, and scratch building vehicles must be HARD!! I wish you had worked to the GW design and somehow scaled it up! I'm a CAD Design Engineer, and if I could be bothered I guess I could redraw all the parts in CAD and scale up that way.....if you had access to the same stuff, or if you'd worked with somone who has got access, and got the finished parts rapid prototyped, it may have been a little more expensive, but the final product may have looked more "proffessional".

That said, I love what you've done with the Marine scale....the only issue is you now have proper sized marines, but all your opponents are now short arses!! So orks Warbosses will look like Gretchins and Deamon Princes will look like slightly pissed off old men shaking a shapr stick at you!

Well-done.

Unfortunatly I did not have access to autocad or similar things. I was not even going to do these Rhino but use the old mark 1'a but they looked so small compared to the rst of the army I just quckly built these.
It was my first time working with plasticard so I thought I would keep the design simple.

Got post a pic of what inspired me.

Well, I like your method and desire to go a lil outside the norm. But what is the deal with the tracks? You might want to give them some sort of ground clearance, otherwise if they get high-centered they are effed.

That would potentially improve it, if you still have the capability without wrecking the model. Thats my big peeve with the IG line is the strange design of the tracks with no springs.

This is what inspired these

Interesting. What is that from?

I saw it on B&C, its a concept darwing or something. It looks alot more modern

Truly bizarre... original beef.
