Woo!!! over 10k views and neary 500 replies! comeon guys lets get 500!

Come-on yourself - get more work done, post more pics! That way we have something worthwhile to comment on!

So, making some steady progress there and some in focus photos! wonders will never cease, oh wait second batch were a bit blurry. I find if I take several pics of what I'm showing then if one is blurry then the next might be in focus and use that one instead. Anyway moving swiftly on.. the project is coming on nicely, I too am looking forward to seeing how the rocket jets come out once painted.

Thanks Reaper! The only porblem is I take about 10 pics per ork and they turn out knida bad too! Btw I'musing the flower button, hence the head close up is so clear!

Seen blog on home page 2X!

If 10 pics still leave you with something your not happy with - then make it 20 Half of them up close and the other half further away - then crop them using 'random editor'.

(I'm no expert - just some friendly advice from someone who is also learning.)

Eager to see the flames from the rokkitz now.

Thanks TaWaaagh for stopping by,
How about 30 pics? Nice to get some advice form a learner too. I personally can't wait to do the smoke for the stromboyz too!

Looking very nice hazzer! Wish I had some Orks!

Thanks HONAW! Orks are pretty cool tbh but I really like DE and Nids for some reason too!

that smoke effects looks incredebly time consuming! Major bonus points!

LOL! Thanks for repling Areo! I think that brings my bounus points upto 40,000 funny that beaing in mind its what I collect and I have the very 25th anaversery WD infront of me whilst typing!

paint?????

Yes yes I know I need to! Will do when I have the chance, hopefuly later this week!

Hi guys,
Update! I bought his original rouge trader rhino the other day from a modelling fair, and have managed to take it apart but have also managed to wreck it in the process! So I have a Dilemma, Should I replace the inner wall things with plasticard, leave em, or somehow find original/or reproduction replacements off eBay ect? On the bent pieces above the exhausts and the side railing have also been damaged, I may replace these with wire (I have also drawn what the piece looks like in red) .However, I have got 4 bolters and a bolt pistol which I still can use! I am wanting to strip this because I didn’t originally paint this, I'm wanting to go old school, yet this can drive either my HG or sternguard (Which I will use the bolters for).

Thanks guys ,

HAZZER

Plasticard. I've repaired those stacks with simple vertical pipes... they look fine

Nice find Haz.

What do you feel? Do you think you have the skill to make it look good doing it yourself? I would not if you dont think so because your eyes will always see the bad job of plasti card and wont be able to enjoy the model.

First off. Congrats on the find! They are a dying breed! On the broken inner wall, if it still meshes up with the hull, I would just glue it. If it kind of pushe the track unit out a bit, can you just clip off the part that is making it do that? Otherwise, I had one do something similar not too long ago, and I replaced the whole inner wall of the track section with 1mm plasticard. It worked pretty well.

On the exhaust pipe, I replaced all of mine with gargoyle heads from the chaos Rhino box. You could do something similar, but keep the clean lines and use a straight piece of Plastic rod, and drill some holes in it. It would probably look better than the existing exaughts anyway, I always thought they looked a bit weedy.

Tbh, most times I've tried to build stuff out of plastcard I've failed miserbaily.

Thanks RSJake, I may use plastercard then! It's not like I'm going to sell this and tell evrybody its been reapired!

congratz for that nice buy... you brits have all the luck... here in germany we never get to see that stuff on any fleamarkets or fairs...:(

i´d go the plasticcard route... also i would look GS directly in the eye!!! my own rhino lies still in a cupboard and waits for his day to be healed anew...it was a khorne rhino i get rather cheap and i reloylisted it so to speak...it was doable but i too hurt it quite a lot...but i guess with some love it will be better than before...and don´t forget to add rivets^^

Nice find, it was a sad day when the Vindicator kit was finally replaced

As the others have said, plasticard for the hull - if it needs it, tubing for the exhausts.

you looting that tank?
That exhaust problem can be solved. Cut them all off and drill into the plastic with a decent sized drill bit.
WE HAVE A HULK

LOL! Thats why you have Ebay!I may do the plastercard, but it will only be to fix it, I'm thinking of using plastercard but still keeping the oringail plastic. This I feel is improtaint to me to keep I'll post up a pic when I get home to show you what I mean.

Really? What did the old kit look like? I'll use either wire/brass rod stuuf or plastercard tubing.

No I'm afraid not, I'll be using this rhino for either my Sternguard or Hounor Guard squads in my SM army. I may leave all of the still intact exhausts alone, what do you think?

nice
good job lil dude!

Thanks Duck0nQwaak for stopping by! Hope you will follow this restration of a Rouge trader MKI rhino! (And other stuff too)!

It’s a shame that we can’t get Simple Green in the UK. But I have seen tales of brown Detol working pretty well for stripping paint.

Stripping is so easy. I do it loads.
Buy this for £1-2 brother.
http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/100177398/Dettol_Antiseptic_Liquid.jpg
Simply use a tub with a lid like a lunch box. Pop the model in for 48 hours at least. Then remove models and use a tooth brush or small brush to remove the excess paint. wash the models after in warm soapy water Bang done.
I say cut the exhaust off and replace with holo plastic tubes.
anything else I can help you with?
peace

Hadn't posted - on topic - here in a while. Thinking of scratching out some preheresy tanks like this. Old school rhinos and land radiers, may even purchase one of the Proteus landraiders to that end....

Or scrach build em!

The current vindicator was released years after the current rhino, the previous kit was the Mk I Rhino with metal add-ons, so was the only way to get hold of old-skool rhinos for may a year I only have one left unopened, once that finally gets done I'll need to start scouring e-bay.

I always recommend Fairy Power Spray for stripping models Spray, leave for 10 minutes, scrub with an old toothbrush. If it's very old enamel paint it sometimes needs a second go. Works on acrylics and enamels, on plastic and metal.
