The Chaos Rhino that would be a Space Marine Whirlwind

Its been far to long since I have posted here, in all the time since I have I got side tracked from my 13th Company working on my sons Blood Angels. since I have been so slack not posting up there progress here the link to the topic on the Imperial Vox Cast Forum is below.

Blood Angels 1500 Points

I have been having fun in that I bought a chaos rhino second hand at a convention I went to. I ripped off the top hatch, dozer blade and the spikey bits, ripped out the chaos marine with the twin linked bolter and took a razor saw to the missile launcher.




It wasnt in very good nick but I only paid $15 AU for it so I figured I couldnt go to wrong so I dumped it in simple green.  This left me with a for me fairly good starting point but after I cleaned it up for the tracks all I could salvage was a 1, 2 and 3 linked track piece. I used instanted mold to make multiple copies and cast them up.  So with all the track pieces I needed molded up all I had to do was glue them on.




Well they are not perfect but will do for me and I am a little happy with myself as I am not the greatest molder but I have to love instant mold.


So I glued in the spotlight, smoke launchers and now all I have to do is find some instructions on the construction of a whirlwind turret and I will be a happy hobbier.

More to come soon!
