Hi guys.

I've been having trouble with my rhinos.

I'm completely recreating my army, and I want to have everything moving well. [my vindicator, for example, the engine on the top comes off for immobilization, for example.]

Is there an easy way to do this?

if not, I was gonna just run a paper clip through the bottom and magnetize it.

any wasier ways?

I bought a bit of soft wax and put a tiny dab in the hinge recesses- I do it for my Devilfishes and the Landraider I made for someone else. If you use just a little bit it will hold the door in place without being visible. A lot easier than installing a hinge.

You could try white glue. Sometimes it gets really "bendy", which could perform as a hinge if you wanted it to.

Other than that, sometimes you can buy the hinge from a pair of sunglasses separately. That would work.

OK heres how you do it
take your door, from the tribble hing area, cut away the outer two from the rung of three, take a piece of paperclip and bend it at a 90 degree angle, then clip to size to fit through the rung but not past! then match up where you would insert into the tank then drill through respective holes for that small L shaped pin, note that the tail of the pin sticking out needs to be about 1CM to be stable, do this on the other side of the door too then match up, when you apply your glue, apply excessively along the Tail but stop before getting to the hinged plastic on the door, then push into their holes in the door fast and carefully, when in place keep moving the door carefully up and down in its place so no excess glue that may have seeped into its hinge holds it in place

That was my design idea. I was gonna run a paperclip through it.

This should help you with the Rhino doors.
