Oh that's nice. The yellow is stippled really nicely.

I'm guessing you used the Chapterhouse Chimera conversion kit.
What did you think of it?

Yes I used chapterhouse. The resin is really durable and doesn't have bubbles or mold lines, but is a little difficult to sculpt if you don't have the tools and patience. Not a conversion kit for beginners. Biggest difficulty is getting it to fit just right. I believe it is designed with the old chimeras in mind. I'm tempted to buy more to make a mordian APC.

I have them too, I think they are made for the new Chimera. I had to cut huge chunks off the back and off the bottom inbetween the wheels to get it to fit the old Chimeras. I've done about six so far and they are really time consuming. They fit better on the four new ones with A LOT less work needed.

I second the no bubbles and mold lines! But I also second the not for beginners.

You should post pictures. Pictures or it didn't happen!

Ha! Yeah I really need to. I love them. I'll try to get a couple of snap shots when I get off work.
