Description
Finished my Rhino finaly
I am sending it in for a contest to see if I can win and even BIGGER tank Some highlights of this baby is that the crewmen are interchangeable, rear and top doors open, and the gun moves up and down and turns

If you mean the details on the inside, I made sure to paint it before putting it all together. Mostly it was just a small brush and steady hand though

Theres one thing I lack. The steady hand. Nice piece though, saw it back when you first submitted it.

Ahh, yea I saw one of those on the GW website. What exactly was the process you used?

For the interior? Just painted all the buttons and stuff with a base colour, then washed it all over with brown ink. To get the shine I used the GW Ardcoat, which I'm not sure if they still sell.

Is GW Ardcoat like Gloss Varnish?

Thanks, the white I'm painting not looks real flat, so I'm hoping that this will make it look better.

Ok I get the rear door and gun, but how did you rig the top plates to open? Did you put a dab of green stuff the loop a little wire through that and the door hinge?

It was actually pretty tough, there was a tutorial on bolter and chainsword about it. What you do is you cut out the middle 2 pieces of the hinges, which normally have 4, then drill a tiny hole to turn it into a hinge. Grab a paperclip, and some even smaller wire, and wrap the small wire around it with a good inch on either side. Cut your paperclip long enough to span your hinge, then slide the coil onto it and between the two plastic pegs. drill a tiny hole into the top of the rhino beneath the hinges and slides the 2 extra ends through, give it a spin and bend it so it stays in place.

Very cool, you get extra points for creativity (more than usual) and I'll try that out on my next rhino.

what colours did you use for the interior? it is really nice all those details it's making me insane
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For the majority of it, I used a basecoat of Tallaren Flesh, then a wash of Flesh Wash (an old ink, which is now unavailable unfortunately) then a sloapy repainting of Tallaren Flesh. For the console, I just went through my regular process for metal, and slapped a bunch of bold primary/secondary colours on the buttons.

okay... I do have tallarn fleshXD I used a foundation of Iyanden darksun for the floorboards of my vendetta to give it a little more colour. I can only say nice work

Thanks a bunch, I wasn't sure whether it was going to look good at all, heh, but I like it beside the green.

how did you mount the top hatch or did you not glue it

Pretty cool. Well without knowing your level of painting I can't give much advice :/ get some shots up and I'll do what I can

got some up if you wanna take a look

Not bad, but I think what you are lacking is highlights. Your guys are a pretty dark colour so they tend to blend in with themselves alot. I saw one model with a bit of highlighting but you used white I think which was much too harsh. Try using something darker, like Codex Grey, or mixing that with a bit of black even. Highlighting helps to define where the edges of the model are as well as give it depth.

for some i added a trim to define there chapter or to ad more of them costomising there armor but yeah i need to highlight but gw paints are hard to find along with glue and models

I don't know about your area, but some hobby stores may have them as well. If you can't find GW paints, you can use other brands, go check out this guys blog [link] he uses mostly non GW paints.

true but the humidity here just kills the paint and the clue its usless to try to make anything ere it never sets

Nice work!
What did you use for the interior details. Land Raider bits?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, all the interior things are stock, it's exactly what comes in the model. And thanks

Great Rhino! Especially the colour scheme is great, I like this kind of green! And great interior detailing too! (By the way, also good idea to make at least upper hatch open... It should be done without making a conversion though, but... GW has some weird ideas like this one 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, thanks a ton. Ya I really like my green, I actually use a white basecoat rather then black, I find it gives the green a might brighter colour. As for the hatch, I agree, all doors should be able to open, but I suppose they like haveing the whole top of the model be one piece, they would have to make it into 2 if they were to have the doors work the same way as the back hatch. At least they have the doors seporate in case you want to do it yourself
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a plus, they make upper dors in halves... I can imagine cutting it into such shape... horror.
Anyways, there's an idea, that they could include small hinges that moves. If it can be done in 1/72nd scale in model kits, than surely in here too! But - nevermind at least conversion is quite easy
Again - great job on that Rhino!!

I have to agree with Venus-Complex on the weathering, but this is still an excellent piece altogether. Bravo!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks a ton! Like I said to Venus, I'm too afraid of ruining it with weathering
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know the feeling. That is why most of my marines are a bit too clean too.

very awesome rhino, it's a shame theres no mud and scratches, you probably have the skills to really give it just that right touch of battlewear.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, I'm too afraid of going at it with whethering, I don't want to mess it up and ruin the whole model :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aww thats a shame, well... one day maybe eh?

This is a great piece of work !
The inside part of the Rhino is the best part

Thanks

Heh, thanks. I actualy used this tutorial [link] it's got a way to hinge all the doors on the rhino, but I only did the top and rear.
