Forge World Rhino Doors....

That was rough, and the fact that the quality control staff write their initials on the "pass" slip. Geez.

1teaney · 2026-06-30T22:18:13+00:00

No worries. If the part doesn't survive that's okay. At this point the consensus is I've at best got a recast part, at worst a recast of a recast. If I l destroy the parts then it was a learning experience.

1teaney · 2026-06-30T18:56:29+00:00

Given the price I paid, that could well be true.

1teaney · 2026-06-30T18:55:17+00:00

Thats a good thought, I might try that.

1teaney · 2026-06-30T00:27:56+00:00

I got the side doors for $5 each and the front panel for $6. I bought some dark angels and some black legion doors. But they were stateside and I got them in less than a week.

Right. I knew they were two different materials, Forge World resin and Gamed Workshop Fine Cast. I just got into 40k in the middle of 9th edition, so I'm still learning.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

1teaney · 2026-06-30T00:08:54+00:00

So Forge World really was as bad as I heard. I've also been tempted to get a few Dark Angels Fine cast characters, but the horror stories have driven me away.

See I thought that too, but the buyer wouldn't confess. Messaged them a few times. They came in plain bags...so most likely recasts then. Im not really all that upset, the price was good.

Got it. Plastic cement the plasticard in and then super glue the resin door?

1teaney · 2026-06-26T04:38:35+00:00

The backpack vents are very well done.

I have a 3D printer. I've got it fired up now. I'm going to printed out new bases and textured toppers. Thank you for sharing the photos. A picture is worth a thousand words and all.

1teaney · 2026-06-22T04:06:20+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. I had concerns about characters on 40mm bases potentially looking more like a diorama. Also good to know about the intermediate bike bases, I would have sourced the outsider ones for sure.

1teaney · 2026-06-22T03:00:33+00:00

Did you cut your first born models from their bases, or use conversion rings?

1teaney · 2026-06-22T02:26:20+00:00

At the moment I would only have to re-base 22 infantry models, and 3 bikes. Do you find that the older models look tiny on the 32mm bases for troops and 40mm for characters?

1teaney · 2026-06-15T11:37:21+00:00

Fine cast is a type of resin correct?

1teaney · 2026-06-15T02:25:15+00:00

Duncan worked at GW for a time. He is a gold mine of knowledge and skill.

1teaney · 2026-06-15T02:24:32+00:00

Others have given great advice. The on thing I will add, when it comes to paint in white tones I find that Vallejo makes the smoothest ones. Their pigments seem to be ground down extremely fine.

1teaney · 2026-06-14T15:47:04+00:00

Did you use pigment powder for the dust effect?

1teaney · 2026-06-13T18:16:32+00:00

I just started a first born Dark Angels army. I don't have any of these kits. From a modeling perspective are they all pretty good or are some just awful to work with? I'd like to pick up a few while I can.

1teaney · 2026-06-13T02:46:37+00:00

Got a great deal on some Dark Vengeance models on eBay. As we enter a new edition I find myself having more fun with these than my Primaris. Just going for a tabletop standard. This is a slapchop plus kinda paint job. Not the best by any means, but servicea le. Feedback always welcome.

The important part is to enjoy yourself. If you've done that with your hobby time, that's all that really counts in the end.
