Title: 'Armoured Rhinos' what an amazing idea.
Post by: Mr. Burning on 17 March 2010, 11:15:22 AM

This just came through the post and got my head spinning.

Armoured Rhinos, I can imagine a VSF or alt future themed Indian or African army with these metal plated behemoths.

I'm off for a lie down now.

Edit: Hopefully the image can now be viewed.

Edit 4:04pm loaded again from a different source.

Snap. I'm going to try Opera, but don't hold up much hope.

edit  No luck there, either. Glad it's not just me though, as I'm a dunce at computing  ;)

I can't see anything either.

Having said that I can imagine what it'll look like. I made one years ago for my Rogue Trader era marines - Bertha the Mark I Rhino APC!

I can see it at home but not at work.  It may not be quite what most of you are expecting.  It's a real rhinoceros with photoshopped rivets added around some of the heavy plates on its hindquarters.  Picture the animal below, with rivets.  Kind of neat, actually.

From the messages I'm getting from playing around with the url, it looks like the pic isn't set for public viewing.

I can see it perfectly.

I'm on Windows 7 if that makes a difference, using IE.

It's okay guys it wasn't 'that' special an idea  o_o lol

I replaced the image and will be rooting through the kids toybox for suitable zoo animals to ponder over. A trip to the safari park may be in order too!
