Hi all, Here is another group of armored vehicles, all based around the same chassis/hull design.They feature suspension, an openable engine compartment, a handy rear door, and a pair of vicious-looking eyes that I've been meaning to use for a while (...)

(...) --snip-- (...) Hi Magnus, Great work as usual. I love the way you've used the eye piece in all of them to give them that evil glare. The only one I'm not so keen on is the Commander. I can't help but feel it's lacking a little detail compared (...) (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Whenever I see "Rhino" in connection with armoured vehicles I think of one of these from (URL) Warhammer 40,000>: Rhino: (URL) or one of it's variants such as: Predator (Rhino variant): (URL) Razorback (Rhino variant): (URL) Whirlwind (Rhino (...)

Tim, (...) Thanks for the kind words. The Commander and the Protector are pretty much the same with minor differences on the outside, and then obviously different interiors. Any ideas of how to spiff up a command vehicle like this? I don't want to (...) (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.military)

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. I'd like to do something more spacey some time, and (...) (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Or maybe it's those wider tracks, which give it (...) (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

And naturally, there is a commanding officer to look over their shoulders as they work. The modular concept is neat. Any (...) (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Well, they are clearly map tiles, so that would have been the logical conclusion for me to make. However, big dynamic displays like that are useful or at least conceptually popular in that sort of application. The idea is to integrate data (...)

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 (...)

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)
