I have recently ordered some turrets from Shapeways based on some recommendations from the good folks on this forum. Check out the results and more pictures on my blog.

Yeah I got the mixed turrets and mixed predator turrets sets from EpicMinis. They are very nice little kits!

Hi!

That's pretty cool!

Gives a whole new use for those old plastic rhinos.

Cool !!!! Not to threadjack but to add to the discussion, if I may ? I made some Razorbacks on the old metal Rhinos, with the old L/Russ turret and Eldar Grav platform weapons swoop out ... Image And using GZG 2mm weapons from their Germy line, making more Razorbacks ... Image Just showing some options ... 8)

Nice job.

I got some Chaos Predator parts from EpicMinis and they're great. I removed the twin bolters from mine, although yours still look pretty good with them on.

Swanky! I'm agreed with Primarch - great how they give older minis a new lease of life.
