I have a bunch of excess rhino's lying around, anyone have any tips on converting them to predators or whirlwinds? Especially, common items I can use for turrets, sponsons, guns etc. I am thinking toothpicks might be OK as missiles. Philip |

OMG redram, that looks amazing!! The Pred turret looks like the origininal. I had to look twice to see that it's Scratchbuild and not just a recast

Great googly moogly! On the original topic: the easiest thing I can think of is to find someone with a few of the current hunters, and see if they have whirlwind turrets lying around. Or take a look at GZG 2mm minis. L4 used some as turrets, IIRC (correct?) and they look very effective. Scratchbuilding: the tips of toothpicks could work for old-old-style whirlwinds. Pieces of square styrene rod with the extreme tips could be a basis for the newer types. |

Bloody hell, that's a good kitbash! Nice work! As for turret bits, you can always take a look at something like the 1/700 naval weapons packs from Tamiya. There's a pic of the box art in this thread here: http://www.tacticalwargames.net/cgi-bin....+rhinos For Whirlwinds, you can use rectangular tubing from Evergreen Models and toothpicks or straightpins for missiles. Another good option is three-pin jumpers from an old motherboard. |

You are correct Vermis ! If anyone wants to see those, they are in the 6mm modelling link here ... under L4's BZ459 & Rhino conversions, IIRC. I also did others and posted them, if anyone wants to see'm LMK !
