Epic 40K Chimera Remixed

thingiverse

UPDATE: Added more detail to the sides. And a version with up armoured tracks. In testing I found that it's perfectly possible to print the already assembled model without any supports. ====================== THIS IS STILL A WIP!!! A 6mm scale guard chimera APC. I originally tried test printing Mkhand_Industries' chimera remix and decided I wanted to separate the nacelles to add more detail and print flat. Another person attempting the same was able to do this but I decide that the geometry was terrible and not worth the time to clean up when I could just go back to the model he based his remix on and remix it myself. The model by BiancaW had just as bad geometry, just less of it. So I cleaned it up, separated out the parts, adjusted the shape to more closely match the real chimera model, added more detail, corrected the turret scale, corrected the normals added the indexing geometry, hollowed the hull out to make it print faster, added new tracks... a lot of things. It should be noted that the model is still not fully accurate as this is just a remix of existing geometry and was not modelled from scratch by me (something I may do in the distant future if I ever get a resin printer). This is still a work in progress. I've yet to decide what to do with the hull mounted lascanons. I left the heavy bolter off model because I think it looks better for now, but I'm also going to go back and cover all turret types which includes the heavy bolter variant which uses a HB similar to the one currently mounted on the hull that I can copy. I also intend to make a hull variant with the flamer and a spot light variant of all the turrets and nacelle variants with the track covers.
