Ork Looted Rhino Hatches


front, back and top...

I have been working on the front, back and top hatches for my Ork Looted Rhino.

Following on from my last post: The top hatch has had some rivets added, as well as handles and some additional armour plates. I still need to add rivets to the hatches themselves and I will be using a smaller diameter of plastic rod to do those. A tip I picked up from George Dellapina was to put a bit of superglue somewhere and then using the point of the modelling knife pick up the individual rivet, dip it into the superglue and then stick down where you want to. Problems are that occasionally you lose one... The superglue will often harden, but this is only a crust and can be cracked allowing access to unhardened superglue. The handles are from the Ork Trukk as is the metal fuel can (yes I know great location for a tank of fuel....).

I added some metal glyphs from the Ork Wrecker Trukk and (I think an Ork Warbike Model). Also from the bike was a wrapped shotgun. I have added the doors on the right side. I added some tracks to add additional armour as well.

Chains from the Chaos Vehicle sprue were also added.



The top hatch has had more rivets added using the smaller plastic rod.



I have not glued it in as I might do some variants in the future.



The front has had an icon, a plate and some chain added and some additional rivets.



The back ramp has been replaced by an armour plate with glyph and Ork icon. I am also detailing the inside of the ramp as well.



Still a few more things to do and then it will be undercoated.
