PsychosisPC Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I have hinged the doors on both of my rhinos, using two different methods (the leadership10.com one and another one described earlier here at the B&C), both were pretty awkward and difficult to pull off. This method seems much easier and more neat. I have used the same methods as Des on mine also. I will definitely have to try your method in the future. Good article.

Zgar Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I have used this method on my new Rhino's top door yesterday night and it worked really well! Thanks B.Exodus!!! :D For the side doors I used my own invention, which I will present to you asa I get my hand on a digicam... I keep it in secret by now... I can promise it is even more simple but working as good (better? :lol: ) as above shown :D Just hope someone did not came with it before me... Cheers and keep watching this forum guys! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

botters Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Great method, I have just done my landraider doors , one folds down and one up , they work and look great , they fit flush and do not drop open easiiy. I found that the best wire to use is electrical fuse wire , I bought a card with 4 grades of wire on for 75p ( 40c) this gives enough wire for about 100 doors.

Brother Exodus Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Rather nice to see that people are still finding use in this tutorial. Rather a nice thing to come back to after a 3 year break from the game :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcyclone2000 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Really nice tutorial Brother Exodus, but if you hinge the side doors, then you still can't look into the rhino because of the 2nd set of doors. Is there any way of making the interior visible from the side doors without removing the second set of doors? Thanks, Cyclone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Exodus Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 i just cut out the second layer of doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_giles Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Interesting variation on the old method (which was to cut off the outer knuckle on each door and then use L-shaped pins). I must say this one produces much nicer-looking results. If I can get fine enough wire, I'll have to try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathwinder14 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 You know. I think I like your way better than my Land raider doors tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rfly Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I bought the battle force so I could get the rhino so I could open the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iago Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Very nice. I plan to modify this and use it for my LRC doors. Cheers! By the by what size wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Aradiel Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 First post ever by me on B and C. Just call me "newb". Been playing around with wire. I can confirm that 22ga wire is hard on the fingers. :P 20ga seems to work okay as the hinge's pin, though. Going to try some 24ga or maybe 32ga (that could be a little thin). 22ga only allows about 2 rotations worth, or you can't jam it into the hinge slot on the smaller doors (top doors have lots of room). Arts and crafts stores have jewellery wire in these gauges. I'm not quite fully there yet, but I'm adapting this hinge system to magnets, for removability/modularity. I do think the final product of these hinges looks "boss". Yes, holy thread resurrection, Batman. Thanks for the tutorial, Exodus -- seriously it would be helpful to know what gauge wire you used.

majorpayne327 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 i hate to be the one to ressurrect an old post, but are the wire gauges? there isnt any clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I use very similar method, but have ALL the hinges made of metal, replacing the ones on teh door, as then there is no weak structure. The metal used is staples for an automatic stapler in a phtocopier - these come as flat sheets and are difficult to work, but very tough and as they are flat ratehr than round, will bend in one driection naturally.
