I started painting the chimera right away. I got to say I love building tanks and now I can say I also love painting them. Here are the WIP shots:

just some color modulation and the camo done thus far
rivets and panels washed
decals put on and metals painted
glass painted, metals washed and paint chips painted

What do you think of it so far? Now its on to the weathering pigments, some varnish and it's done!
