Thanks for the encouraging responses.
@Chern Ann: Yes, I read about them already, but they seem quite expensive. But maybe they're worth the money. I will see how far I get with the conventional...

Well it's been quite a while since my last update. I've been quite busy at work and my military service did also interfere with my painting. But finally there is some progress:

I painted the crew...

Did some more small detail work:

The rocket launcher

Awesome mate! I love the valkyre diorama!

Actually the front plate is onl held in place with four small amgnets (two at the top and two at the bottom). You can see the holes where the magnets are placed on the top of this page. This allows...

Since I was busy with taking my motorbike for a first ride of the season, there was not so much painting done over the weekend. Just finished a couple of small parts. The blending on the lenses...

Yeah, that's another point on my todo-list. By the way: Is there any tip for those writings except for using a fine brush?

I didn't do much painting yesterday, but I took some timem to make some...

Well, I did quite a bit of painting over the weekend. The exterior is more or less done. The main colour is naturally ultramarines blue, while the shadows are regal blue. I highlighted the edges...

I tried to paint my first larger freehand on the backdoor of the rhino. It seemed to be an ideal spot for it since it was flat and could be painted individually. I liked the banner from the second...

Yesterday I managed to finish the back wall of the troop compartment. I tried a little freehand of an imperial eagle on the door since the decals were too large. I've sketched it with a pencil and...

Exactly, I think I forgot to mention that. The magnets have to be thin so the repelling forces are not that strong. A bit of super glue keeps them in place.

@Cassar: Yes, in fact I had to cut out...

I have all the lights in my Rhino wired up. I have two 3mm white LEDs as head lights. I simply drilled out the plastic ones and glued in the LEDs. A white 5mm LED serves as searchlight. Since the 5mm...

I see there are already very "creative" ideas coming ;)

I used some more magnets on the small hatch to keep it in place for both sides. As you can see from the many holes I had to fill with...

Thanks for the support.
@Chrome: I already know your thread and maybe you'll recognize one or the other idea ;)

I worked a bit on the front panel. Cut out the windows and replaced the with some...

Hi everyone!

I've been a long-time lurker on this forum, but besides from posting a few pictures on the main page I've never contributed on this fantastic site. When I started my first WH40K Rhino...

Just use square magnets and the problem with rotation is solved. Or use two small ones, but thats quite hard to fit in most minis.
