Rhino plasticard template

There are others as well. Something like that possible? Post a Comment. Rhino, Flamingo, Penguin, Bongo, and Brazil. Latest Loading Friday, February 14, Templates and defaults in Rhino.

I have since picked up a tube of squadron green which is a lot easier for gaps Hi, I just fell on the blog on an internet search. Looks good! It took you almost five years to get this primed?! It looks really good, and it gets great mileage out of an older kit. I'm still surprised no one has bothered to make a Repressor-esque conversion kit seeing as how FW dropped the original from their catalog.

Ha ha Actually primed it a couple years back. I just remember that I never updated the thread. Newcastle, OZ. Nice work. Here's mine: Not so much repressor as "command rhino" for my Star Wars themed st legion marines. All plasticard on top of a rhino 'nid skull is a trophy. It gained a dozer blade after this shot and I found the storm bolter I'd lost for the little turret. The top pintle mount is magnetised though and can take a flamer if I wanted to swap it out.

That said, it's over 5 years since I made that - and it and a handful of other models are all I have left of my 40k since I stopped engaging in the arms race of that game. That is not dead which can eternal lie Dakka 5. Member List. I wanted to have the Land Raider rear moved to the front. I have had all the pieces ready apart from the left and right hand sides and have continually been checking bits sites and ebay but there have been no new updates. So I had to reuse left and right tracks that I had started on another model.

The white plasticard is from the previous conversion. I plan on only covering the left hand side with scripture only where the white plasticard currently is. The next 2 scripture pieces can be seen on the right. Once the scripture has been finished, I will then wrap the tracks around the sides of the track units.

Some of the Deathwatch Icons I plan to use on this Land Raider can be seen to the right in this picture. I have spent a lot of time making individual tracks, alternating between Imperial Eagle and Deathwatch Icons I hope to show some new updates in the near future. Midlands, UK. Those look like a lot of effort has gone into them, and I expect they'll look great when painted. Very much looking forward to seeing some more! Some backwater sump. That scripture work is amazing! You're completely insane.

Glad you didn't have to do it all by hand. That's beautiful. And now I need those moulds!

Progress Update With a bit of milliput, I disguised most of the joints. I wasn't concerned about the ones to the rear as I knew I was going to carve a door hatch there.

After a lot of cursing, I got to this: I added a Deathwatch Icon to the door to finish this side. I wrapped the moulded tracks around as well This is the starting point for the front: I used the large Deathwatch script mould from Shapeways as the starting point for the front hatch, making it larger than the original one. I followed the line of the trackguard to maximise the amount of internal space.

I don't see the point of having a top hatch. Plasticard was then used either side of the hatch, What you can't see in this shot is I added some plasticard with some "tread" pressed onto it on the rear of the hatch. I will need to add a small amount of milliput to the top of the hatch to hide the join between the milliput script and the plasticard script. I needed to fill in the gaps where the top hatch previously was, I've added a large Deathwatch icon to the ramp and some rivets to make it a bit more realistic.

To give some more protection to the occupants, I also cut down some frag launchers and added them to the track guard - so just before the ramp descends, the frag launchers will clear a path. I need to add some plastic rod at the bottom of the ramp to make it look like a hinge and this view will be complete. This out of focus shot shows the rear before I add in the engine and to - you can just see the white plasticard "tread" in the front in this shot. I had to decide what angle I placed the engine and how to model the top.

More to follow soon Update time: Here's what I did with the rear. I did think about sloping the engine to make it sleeker, but in the end I went with this vertical option. I used some plasticard and milliput to fill the gaps. I used some tichytrain rivets to finish. This is a shot of the top. I placed a large Deathwatch icon and made space for 2 turrets.

Milliput, plasticard and rivets were used to finish. I want to have 3 pintle mounted assault cannon but I'm not having much luck locating any from any bits suppliers at the moment, so I'll keep an eye out. I've gone with 4 assault cannons per side. This Deathwatch vehicle is fielded when they are facing horde armies - imagine the amount of bullets 13 assault cannons would generate. If anybody has any questions, just ask. Regards, Phil.

Update time I've gone through my existing range of vehicles to see what I could convert for my Deathwatch Army and found a few Land Raiders, Predators and Dark Talon I could use: Land Raider 2 I made templates out of plasticard and then cut out from "scripture" the inserts for the door and the armour.

I added a number of magnets to the front hatch to have replaceable weapons. I decided to go with the same tread design as my first Land Raider, so after lots of milliput moulds and cleaning up, I got to this finished shot. I added another large Deathwatch Icon to the front hatch as well. I only added scripture on the rear hatch on the right side. I'm hoping that this Land Raider shouldn't take too long to paint, only the scripture and Deathwatch Icons will need to be painted as I had already painted and edge highlighted it previously.

Using the plasticard templates, I cut out the "scripture" inserts again and then using a rhino hatch as a template, cut out "scripture" for the door and an icon was added at the front and on the hatch. I made a small conversion to the existing tread, removing the middle skull and replacing with a Deathwatch icon. Another large Deathwatch icon was added to the front ramp as well.

I hate edge highlighting, so this will probably take a long time before it gets painted!!! I had already undercoated it white, so I'll need to re-undercoat it in black when I get around to painting it. When the Dark Talon first came out, I bought loads of bits from bits suppliers in sales etc. The only thing I haven't got is the clear plastic canopy. I'll keep an eye out on ebay and bits suppliers but in the end, I may just make a quick blu-stuff silicone mould and make a new one out of milliput.

I added scripture all over the left wing and a large Deathwatch Icon. I chopped off the barrels and added magnets, so I can swop out the Lascannons to other weapons if I want. I added Deathwatch Icons on the underside of each weapon mount and added Lascannon batteries to the rear as well. And to finish off the construction, I added Deathwatch Icons to the tail. I added milliput to the trackguards to remove the gaps and make it look more streamlined.

I changed the tread design as well, going for alternating small Deathwatch Icons. The Twin Assault Cannons fell out when I accidently dropped the turret. I'll add these back on when I finish painting the rest of the vehicle. I also added a Deathwatch Icon to the top of the glacis plate of the turret as well.

Again, using plasticard templates, I added "scripture" inserts to the left side. I added more "scripture" to the rear hatch and added a large Deathwatch Icon. The trackguards were also smoothed out with milliput. I've almost finished a second Predator and will add some more updates soon.
