Okay, can someone help me with this? The door on my Rhino will NOT stay closed. I don't really want to glue it, and I tried some cheap magnet stuff (like a refrigerator magnet cut apart), but that still would not keep the door closed. And it looks pretty ridiculous to drive into battle with tape on the back of the vehicle or the door dragging along the ground. Any suggestions?

Maybe you could use a paper clip to make a simple hook lock?

A painless alternative would be to add ammonia to bleach in a confined space listening to sad songs and reading a C.S. Goto novel.

Why wouldn't you want to glue it shut?

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

Because then the time he spent painting the interior would all be for not. Jeez.
On topic: Seriously why don't you glue it, or do some better form of magnetization. You could drill a small hole in the doorway and one on the lip of the ramp, throw in some small magnets. Baddabing baddaboom closed doors.

Unless you want to paint the interior, glue it shut.

Wrong magnets. Order some of these. They're tiny. Drill tiny holes at the top corners of the door, and put 2 in the actual body of the tank and 2 in the door. it'll hold the door shut, but allow you to open it.

Blue tack or double-sided tape might work, but you might as well glue it shut, it's bound to break eventually.

Seconded. I use these for my Eldar weaponry, and they work wonders.

Looking for fun articles on painting, tactics and wargaming? Are you after a new regular blog to follow? Are you a bit bored with nothing better to do?
If the answer to any of the above is 'well, I guess' you could probably do worse than read my blog! Regular wargaming posts, painting and discussions

Blue tack would be good enough.
The magnets linked above would be better.
