Which one would you rather do or have done . I might have to go for option 2 , I have one more to go out of 6 and than I want to pick up 3 more . this kit has so many unnecessary steps its just silly .

Personally, I don't think they're THAT bad to build. My biggest hate on them (and this holds true for the LRBT also) is the tank tread. I wish they were more like Rhinos.

The basilisk I built forever ago was a kind of a pain. But I also never really built any tanks at that time either

I'd choose the second option, simply because I dont want to build any more tanks with pointless fiddly wheels again in this lifetime.

Hopefully Option 1, since I also have about 6 of the damn things to build!

This website is great though, it will save your nuts undue stress I'm sure

I've built nearly a dozen Chimera types, along with a half-dozen Russ types. These models are NOT difficult to build - they just require you to pay attention.

There not hard nor difficult to build there a pain in the groin . From there being that square piece on the back of the flooring you have to glue on , why not just have made that one piece , than why is the top in two pieces it should just be one piece , and I don't know anyone who enjoys tracks .

The two-part floor is for Griffons & Basilisks vs Chimeras, ad the two-part top is for Chimeras vs everything else. Tracks don't bother me.

For me the top and bottom parts never seem to line up just right. I end up using green stuff to cover the slight gap.

I can now build them with my eyes closed, both hands tied behind my back and only using my nadgers.
