Citadel/Games Workshop Space Marine Rhino APC

[Stuart]

Hi Guys,

Having not really touched a model in nearly three months, I thought I'd dip my toe in the water as it were and started this beast today - Games Workshop's Space Marine Rhino APC, from their Warhammer 40,000 wargame.

It's a pretty simple thing aimed squarely at the wargaming market, but like all of their kits it has lots of over the top detail and pretty simple construction. It should paint up pretty well. I'm not sure what the scale is - the figures are 28mm.

As Carlos said - you'd have thought that APC design would have improved a bit by the 41st Millennium...



This'll be what it looks like when done.



And this is were I am now.. ish. I've actually only assembled the sides of the hull, the rest is just dry fitting. This has a full interior with working doors so I'll be painting that first before putting the roof on. I'll use it as practice for my Bradley.



So there you are - I've committed glue to plastic! I'll try and get a bit more done tomorrow. My apologies in advance if this becomes another part started wip, but I hope not.

Cheers!

Thanks Lyle.

It's pretty simple - I'd be surprised if it had 50 parts. Looking at that picture again I need to drill out those stack exhausts.

Are your Space Marine vehicles usually a dark grey color? I’m Subscribed! I was thinking of the Aliens APC. One of the older EFX guys had a ton of photos from the Aliens miniature unit. I will see if any are still on my phone. Might be useful.

That's be cool Bruce!

No it'll be a medium blue (as on the box art ). Most of the wargaming stuff is bright colours - it looks good on the gaming table. Mind you, it might look good in modern armor colours.
