Building The Warhammer 40k Chimera Part 1 - Working With Resin Conversions

The Imperial Guard Chimera is a super fun kit from the Games Workshop Warhammer 40K tabletop game. It has so much potential for painting and weathering fun! Even if you're not a 40K game player, it is worth looking at simply because it is an enjoyable build.

You can also add to the fun by using resin conversion sets and add-on parts. This build series will be focusing on converting the tracked Chimera to a six-wheeled vehicle, using parts from Blood and Skull Industry LLC.

Part 1 takes a look at working with resin safely, and getting the plastic and resin parts assembled and ready for later painting and weathering steps.
