An Update

Si — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 12:05:10 +0000

I've been meaning to post the new photo for a while. I've made a couple of changes then. The turret now sits on a raised platform more like the actual saladin it's based upon.

I've also added the blocks between the wheels, and I think these really give it a more solid, rugged look. Need to punch some more rivets, I've run out!

Finally I've removed the viewing port thing after deciding it was in the wrong place. I'll come up with a replacement and some armour for that section at some point.

Structure in place

The first update and I'm getting along ok. The structure is sorted, the wheels fitted and the turret in and rotateable.

I've had two goes at the front end, and I'm quite taken with the bulldozer blade skid plate. I'll have to see what the rhino hatch looks like once it's detailed.

The main structural item missing at the moment are the pods between the pairs of wheels. Once they're fitted it will add some much needed strength to the track guards and body to the tank.

Project Overview

I wanted to include some sort of custom tanks in my army, and wanting to stay away from rhinos (which are heavily used in my IG army) I aimed for a scratch built chimera.

Based loosely on the Chiron, utilising it’s turret and wheels, the intention was to create a Saladin style 6wheeled vehicle.
