After over a week of bathing in Superclean, the tank was all but separated, mostly due to being joined primarily with super glue. The yellow/orange color that was underneath the black paint job has been really resistant to the superclean, but most of it has come off. What is left can be easily painted over and no one will be the wiser (unless they follow this blog I guess).
Scrapped down to the bones! |
Here is a close up shot that I took right after I put the first track assembly back on. As I noted at the end of the last post, this reminds me of a photo you might see in an old talk/army surplus or other such industrial machinery graveyard. Just add weeds and graffiti!
I took this next pic to illustrate the correct way to assemble the original Rhino chassis. When the sides of the hull are put on you want to make sure the center joins touch and that both ends are left with a sort of 'bumper' that sticks out, otherwise you'll end up with gaps in the top and bottom of the model.
The propa way. |
Now to add the metal bitz:
This was kind of fun to put together, but man does it make this model heavy!
A reassembled Vindicator. |
Release the bitz! |
Do you like the gunner low? |
Or do you like him high? |
Oh, and yes, if the title wasn't a give away, this is going to be completely turned into a Vindicator for my World Eaters Chaos Space Marines! Blood for the blood god khorne! Because the idea of a support vehicle for a bunch of chain axe wielding loons seems amusing to me.
Until next time...

The gunner needs to be high with an arm swap so that he's leaning forward trying to swing his axe far enough out to hit something in front of the tank. It's very rage worthy for Khorne.
LOL. I am tempted to make it so...
Actually, all you need is an arm reaching out of the hatch and waving a chain axe!
Low if as is...high if chucking axes everywhere!
I am thinking about only having one arm on the gun and the other holding an axe....
