Silveroxide Memorial build, Super Chimera
- Thread starter Sudsy
- Start date
Got drive train all put together and primed along with the inside of the fenders. Attached the fenders, added some of the additional armor and gussets, and called it a night. From here, it's on to the tracks! Lots of the same little pieces with the track pads over the next week.
Back to the regularly scheduled build!
Track and Jerry can completion! Onwards to headlights and smoke grenade launchers!

I see this build, and remember hours long conversations we had. A brilliant man, who served all around him, and is country as well as humanly possible. The accuracy of your model is a fitting homage. The tracks came out great! 
Greebles! Smoke grenade launchers, headlight clusters, and Jerry can mounts with straps. Given the larger scale of the design, it was a breeze getting these made up and mounted compared to what I'm used to!
Ran into some issues with the primer... but that texture at this scale may not be a huge issue.
Final painting! Still needs some clear coat to seal it up though.
Primer texture isn't too much of an issue on the final product. I do plan on revisiting this model in the future now that Inhave built one, enjoyed the build, and read all of Silveroxide's notes on his design thread for this model.
I made sure to attempt to capture those Cadian markings he put on the paper templates. My aquila leaves much to be desired, but the rest looks like something new conscripts added hastily!
It was an honor to build this, and go through and read all of Silveroxide's threads here, and on Dakkadakka. What a legacy and gift he has given us all!

That turned to be AMAZING! KUDOS TO YOU ON A FINE JOB WELL DONE!
This is a GREAT contribution! Silver would have loved it. Awesome result!
