This was my first chimera conversion. I remember someone doing an M577 conversion a while back and that inspired this model. I kept this one simple and used the front of the chimera hull top to make it an actual chimera conversion and not a basilisk conversion. After cutting away the rear of the top plate I made a very basic PC box and added the Chimera rear door and loads of rivets (these were sections of plastic rod. Made before I got my wonerful Punch& Die set)   Then I added lots of details and stowage....  ..ton the left side; tool box, tent poles, shovel, tow cable, backpacks.....  ..on the rear; tent ridge sections, lifting eyes.....  ..on the right side; a pick-axe, sandbags, tarp rolls and the radio antenna array....  ..on the front; a 'Death's Head' eagle, AC filter grill and new rivets...  ..and on the top; jerrycans in a rack, a power box (from a Sentinel), a tarp roll and the large rear tent that would go over the poles. ..and now the finished model after undercoating     ..and finally the finished model painted and weathered

Nice work mate. I like the details such as the yellow bands on the grenades, and the jerry can tops. Well done. |

looks wicked mate, not a fan of the "Boxyness" of the build but the detail and effort is top notch! |

Thanks, but the whips won't break in storage as they are made from plastic coated bead wire so they bend easily and they are fixed in with superglue. I made this mod after the first set of whips snapped even before the vehicle was finished |

Impressive work Changeling, you've certainly got attention to detail... Nailed the M577-look too. |

A touch too many aerials for me, but otherwise top notch work my friend. |

Nice idea. Gives the rear section enough mass to comfortably house a few Ogryns. |
