Soren, Thanks for the tip, I'll have another go at it when I can, although I'm about to move so it may not be for a little while. I'm thinking maybe some kind of large raiseable antenna or something. On a side note I'm a big fan of your tanks and (...) (18 years ago, 17-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Jude Thanks for the comments! I just moved the Rhino to a display where it will be for a month, so I can't take pix of the suspension system, but it is basically a variant of what I've done in the past - I groups wheels in pairs - a little like (...)

I tried to mount them like cannons are mounted on real fighters: internally, with only the end of the barrel, if anything, protruding from the body. (...) Thanks again. Here is yet (...)

Ted, Thanks for posting those, I know I've seen them before, but while I almost wish I could say that naming my MOC the Rhino was a subtle nod to Warhammer, the Warhammer Rhino had slipped my mind.
