Working on an idea for enhancing a SOB Rhino..

I don't own Aegis Defence items.. so need to pick collective brains...

I am looking for something to mount on the Front of a Rhino/Immolator to replicate enhanced armor. I know the ADL has reinforced walls of 1 or 2 bits wide..

will either of those 2 parts fit in the area between Rhino tracks? I intend to plasticard the area instead of sticking these on top of the regular rhino frontplate, but I just don't know the size of those 2 ADL items.

Also, are they "metal" or more of a "concrete" texture?

The "walls" may not fit, they are not a line, but meandering. Single parts could be cut , but wont fit the width of the rhino front.
Also the defence line has a concrete+metal structure. Its surface may fit well as enhanced armor.
I think its too much work to get the thick defensive line walls cut and filled to suit your goals.

Plastic card or spare hatches/doors may be better options to create enhanced armor.

Looking at a single-width barricade, the whole thing is 5 cm wide (too wide, i think), but the flat front panel is just over 3cm wide (and 3.9 cm high) which may be about right. And although only part of it looks metal, it still looks ok as reinforced armour in my opinion.

(Edit: just found a rhino to do a proper compare! The front panel is a few mm narrower than the rhino, but I think a bit of plasticard along bot sides would look fine. A possibly bigger problem is that the height is higher than the rhino glacis plate, BUT quite possibly the bottom of it could form an armoured ram and so still look ok, or the top could could connect to some roof armour reinforcements?)

Well worth a try if you can find a spare barricade to experiment with.

If you use two single-width barricades together, you're looking at an overhang of about a cm each side. Possibly too much for extra armour, but I bet it'd make a good base for a dozer blade.
