121 - Another Chimera! C7 "Calyx" (Shell)

121 - Another Chimera! C7 "Calyx" (Shell)

Having posted the first Chimera on Thursday, here is the second - C7 "Calyx" (Shell).
Again, the dozer blade has been removed just for a different look. On my next Chimera, I will have to make sure I put the magnets inside the hull rather than on the outside, as it does make the blade drag on the surface, and I'd recommend that to anyone else that may do it.

And finally, another group photo

I have plans for more set back Chimera's but next time I'll be using a kit that I bought and see how they compare.

Thanks for reading, comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

120 - Chimera Complete! C2 "Crepitus" (Snapper)

120 - Chimera Complete! C2 "Crepitus" (Snapper)

After much effort, and feet dragging, both of the Chimera's are completed! But I'm only going to show one in this post, and the other in a post at the weekend. Enough of my ramblings, and on to the pictures:

Here is C2 "Crepitus" (Snapper). The magnetised dozer blade has been removed just to provide a different look to the tank.

And just as a sneak peek, here are the two Chimera's together.

 Stay tuned for the post for the other Chimera! Thanks for reading.

119 - Chimera Progress: Part 8

119 - Chimera Progress: Part 8

Another update on the Chimera's. But fear not, as they are nearly battle ready.

With the weapons and stowage completed, it was now time for some drybrushing. I toyed with the idea of going over all of the tank with a drybrush of GW Bleached Bone, and decided on just going for a light cover. It picks out the details quite nicely and adds a little bit of depth to the tanks.

118 - Chimera Progress: Part 7

118 - Chimera Progress: Part 7

Work is nearing completion on the Chimera's. And I found another transfer/lettering/stenciling idea. Whilst searching round for a suitable size stencil in a one of the arts and crafts stores near me, a stand with some letter sheets caught my eye. The letter sheets in question are in fact transfers made by Letraset, and they make them in several typefaces and colours. Now they're not waterslide transfers like most model companies produce, but rub on transfers.
