CMG - ARC Fleet APC's

[zombie4prophet]

I just receivd my Christmas order from CMG and am cleaning up an APC. First thing I did was chop the guns off the turret, doesn't match my ACP Federalists. So I've modded the turret and done an okay job, but the next one will be perfect. It's more an IFV now as the cannon it packs (or Cadian Grenade Grenade launcher) is fairly hefty.

My problem is with the piece that contains the egress hatch, it's too dang small and my disbelief won't suspend that far. I've cut the top piece so it's in place, but I am trying to work out a door similar to GW's Rhino. So far I've thought about the Leman Russ side hatch, which is a close fit, ot a couple of plastic Dread Sarcophagi lids cut to size. That would make them swing side to side rather than vertical .

Anyone got any suggestions for door, or doors?

Hi Zobie4prophet

I am also presuming its the rear hatch that is the required bit?

Do you have dimensions that may help and a picture would be good as well (not asking much am I !)

Matt,

I opted for plasticard (actually supplied by CMG- I got a drop trooper platoon as well), a half-round plastic strip a GW double headed Aquila and some plastic strip for the door's teeth.

It will be entered into the contest, so people will be able to judge. I like it better than the option provided by CMG and it should be repeatable.
