<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Weird Rhino Question"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Weird Rhino Question An old whirlwind, some bikes, a book on dwarfs... a nice haul overall.

However, investigating the Whirlwind, I noticed that it didn't look right from behind, or especially from underneath...

Now, I'm relatively new to Space Marines, having played mostly Dark Eldar before this, so i've never actually bothered to look under the skirt of a rhino. But isn't that another rhino top, not bottom?
I'm pretty sure that it's actually two rhinos, but I thought i'd make sure as most images tend to focus on the top and front of the little transports, especially the older ones. But, this got a pretty big laugh out of me once I figured it out, so i thought i'd share.
Now comes the tricky part; realizing that I don't have a bottom or a backside for the whirlwind, or at least not the correct one, what's Dakka's recommendation on bashing together the pieces I'll need? Looks like I'll need the back door, maybe some bits for the sides, and if I want to turn this unexpected extra top into another vehicle i'll need to figure out new sides and yet another door. Any tips from the peanut gallery?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297803.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297803.page GMT Weird Rhino Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297827.page GMT Weird Rhino Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297889.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297889.page GMT Weird Rhino Question

Does the old model use the alternate front as a back, as well? Because it looks less like a door than I thought they were supposed to look.

There were a couple of different panels that you could use front or back. People used whichever they preferred the look of.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297894.page GMT Weird Rhino Question
If you soak the plastic in Simple Green you can strip off the old paint.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5297896.page GMT Weird Rhino Question
*intermission*

Yeah, I've found an old Rhino kit in an old toolbox. The flat circular panels are on the sprue with the Rhino sides. The round hatches are on the sprue with the top/bottom of the hull. The hinged hatch goes on the top and bottom, there is no variant plate for that. The two front "doors" are interchangeable with the "ramp" piece, so apart from the round hatches on the bottom looking a bit odd, that is a correctly assembled Rhino.

At least that's less conversion work than you expected. :-)

Oh, a quick update: The old Predator came with an optional front plate with an Aquila on it, if my memory serves me correctly. I've got one of those kicking around, but I forget where it is. lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5299933.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508334/5299933.page GMT
