yeah you're crazy, I have yet to find a rhino(pred/vindicator) that fit together without some serious sanding or trimming etc. I don't always glue the back hatch and top/side doors so I can magnetize them though

Yup, you are crazy. Give it a trip in the back of the car, and see how many pieces that rhino is in.

At first I thought you just meant the top and maybe the side doors, in which case no because I leave those unglued on magnets. But no glue on the whole chassis. you must be nuts.

I leave mine apart too! No need to buy silly craters, I just leave the top part of the Rhino on the table.

EDIT: IMO you are not crazy.

Well I actually used double sided tape for a long time, before RE magnets got popular. Try that first just to see if you like it.

I left the top & front on my rhinos of chaos unglued for destroyed markers. The doors, hatches, track assemblies, treads, etc are all glued in place.

I actually just did a tutorial on how I placed my magnets so I can convert my Rhinos to any of the other version of that tank.

Here is a like to the tutorial. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/484712.page

1/16" x 1/32" magnets work perfect for the side hatches on the Rhino. Just have to make sure when you order your magnets you get actual 1/16" x 1/32" magnets and not 2mm x 1mm magnets, there is a size difference between the two, and the mm ones are two big to fit in the hatches.

This is the guy I bought my magnets from on Ebay, Casey's Games and Stuff, and a link to the set I bought. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-EARTH-HOBBY-MAGNET-COMBO-100-each-1-16-in-1-8-in-6mm-/290784107981?pt=Games_US&hash=item43b4155dcd.
