Hey there,

Just thought I'd share a couple of photos and a video of a little project I whipped up yesterday. In my excitement I didn't think to take any in progress shots :(

I basically gutted the RC tank, split the tracks down the centre as the Rhino is far wider and extended the axles to compensate. I was able to cut away the internals of the rhino and stuff the working parts from the RC tank in there. The servo for the rotating turret was fitted to the storm bolter.

Thanks for looking

That's pretty flippin' cool man.

I'd go in and put some track sections around the back and front of the model to help it blend in with other rhinos a bit. Sure, they may not move when the tank does but I think it'll look cleaner all the same.

Thanks for sharing it. Do a Land Raider next!

Take it easy.

Cheers,

I did consider sticking faux tracks on but thought the lack of movement may look a bit strange. I also couldn't think of a way to make it look decent from the side. I may look into it a little more though, thanks for the input.



PS. Love the Mal Reynolds quote in your sig!

Nice work. Now we need a video on how to do it.

Awe, it's kind of cute how it scoots around.... and now I'm wanting to make my own

Awesome

YES

Cool as hell! All wargaming models should be
radio controlled :-)

And should have real blades and ammo of some sort so we can just play robotic 40k

That made me giggle. Great idea and well-executed!

Made me grin big time.
Imagine if all of 40ks models were like this
