This is the first time I've ever painted a Rhino's interior. |
So, on the Twenty-second of last month, I left you with an image of a half-painted rhino, which had obviously seen some heavy punishment. This is an update on that tale.

The wreck so far |
The wrecks of Rhino's are found on all battlefields where the imperium can be found. Yet there is no model for a wrecked rhino, there is noone producing wrecks as models. I thought I'd pretend to be original, and make a wrecked Rhino of my own.
This will be a game piece, but it will also be part of a diorama, depicting Space marines of a tactical squad running out of the vehicle,
smoke billowing from the top hatches as they leave.
As you can see here, I have since painted the top and the front of the vehicle. You can [barely albeit] see the damage and penetration marks alongthe front, and there are golden parts in the front and right side of the tank - bullet holes.
There will be another follow up sometime, but I am putting this project to the side for a while, so I can focus on my new Space marine Biker's army.

An aerial I added myself. Just a piece of brass and a scope, but the effect is pleasing. you can see my bikes in the background here. |

Some of the fallen Space marines, From your perspective, Left to right:
Injured soldier, supplying missile launcher
marine firing pistol past side of rhino
marine reloading bolter. The clip has a small piece of brass on the tip to make it look like it is full.
A missile launcher marine, the last missile only just having been shot [it's on a flying stand, jetting out of the missile launcher]
Wounded marine clawing at the ground. |

This is the sergeant. He is the expample of the paintjob I was going for with these guys. He is injecting a stimulant into his leg, presumably through a chink in his knee's armour for that very purpose. |
