Just looking for general opinions.

Advantages
Possibly a slightly increased range for disembarking. It could look cool with a bit of the inside painted.

Disadvantages
I would glue it for ease of assembly, handling etc. I'm afraid if I didn't glue it shut it might eventually get loose and fall out a lot. Also the hinges might break if used too many times. Plus it doesn't really have an interior worth looking at.

I'm not sure if opening it for more range of disembarking is modelling for advantage as I don't know what GW intend for the kit.

Can anyone offer their ideas and general practice when assembling a Chimera? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517281/5447172.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517281/5447172.page GMT Glueing the back door of a chimera

There should be no gameplay difference whether the ramp is open or not; that would be considered textbook modelling for advantage if there were.

For myself, I prefer to leave the doors hinged when there is an interior to paint. But IIRC, I did some Chimeras for my newphew and they don't really have an interior to speak of, right? I remember a grated floor but that was pretty much it. In that situation I did just glue them closed since it wouldn't look that great even if I did the interior - not much to work with.
