I have three Skorpius kits, and I am looking to build them out into three permanent transports and three permanent tanks.

So far, I have found that the Rhino is the best candidate in terms of size. It needs a bit of length added to it, but the width and height seems perfect. However, I have some questions before I pull the trigger, and I would greatly appreciate it if anyone with both kits can do a quick size comparison for me.

1) How well does the "lid" of the Skorpius Disintegrator fit on top of the Rhino's chassis (from the rear assault ramp area)?
2) Does the Disintegrator turret fit into the Razorback turret's hole?
3) Does the Servitor-manned Heavy Stubber turret from the Skorpius kit fit into one of the Rhino's smaller turret holes?
4) Does anyone have any good ideas for adding hover plates to a Rhino chassis?

Thanks in advance for any help that you guys can render.

UPDATE: FINISHED! See below for photos.

So I went ahead and Leeroyed in.

Here are the answers to my questions:
1) It fits rather well. It is slightly narrower than than the posts, so if you just remove all of the material on the Rhino, you can glue the lid on the back-top of the Rhino and cover up the gap that results from the different angle with 0.5mm plasticard.
2) It does not fit. The hole is much larger.
3) It does not fit. The hole is slightly larger.
4) Still trying to figure this out.

Here's a photo of my WIP:


Great for any AdMech player out there looking to do 3x Disintegrator and 3x Dunerider for 60-75% of the price. The Rhino chassis, once extended by the Disintegrator's prow, is very close in profile to the Dunerider; it's pretty much reversed, but with missing fins.

See here for what I mean:

I see you did continue this conversion.
I still highly suggest Kastelans heavy phosphor blasters as propulsion, but you might not have leftover bits.
Another take would be the Dunecrawlers Phosphor blasers. put 2 twin phosphor blasters as propulsion
This is my take, although completely out of a razorback, only thing to add are tons of cables on the back

Oh. That was you on Reddit? Everyone has different names. Lol.

I am going to Japan. Going to see if I can scrounge up some Gunpla bits. They have sooo many scratchbuild supplies in Japan.

Yes, sadly I cannot change my name on reddit. Much fun in japan!

Update: Put some base colors on an assembled tank.



I really like how once I filled in the holes in the front-sides, it doesn't seem like it's a kitbash at all.

woah, pretty awesome result!

I might actually do something similar with mine, rhinos are so cheap.

Finished. Though just when I took the photos, I noticed some spots that need some shading. Haha.

They turned out really well! Fair play!
