| Thanks to a flu attack...I just found the time to finish the Chimera's repaint...this one is dedicated to a friend of mine birthdate so It would not be posted on the italian forum before 29th of march...
I give s lot of attention to te base and to the color shifting from goat to lion to dragon, I hope you like! (like MM said goat is black with red eyes, lion is with green eyes and wings are brown..)

| | WOW! VERY nice! I like how you made it truly flying!! I have been meaning to repaint this as well...along with the original Ral Partha one I have had forever! How long did this take you? What did you use as the clear flying mount? Great work as always! | |

| Damn you Zanaroth!
I sat down to paint a couple of bits today, including a few tiny tweaks to my Chimera. I was quite happy with it until I saw your post :)
Great work!
I particularly like the black colour scheme for the goat (goat's horns also look very real) and the golden glow to the lion's fur. | |

| | That is one great job. I especially like the wings, they look all stretched and leathery, just how an evil dragon should. The base makes it sing. As soon as I get another chimera I will try to do one like that myself. | |

| | Now THAT is what a Chimera should look like. Amazing work. Thanks for sharing it with us. Every step you made seems to have been perfect. I like the big picture in the upper right the most. If I had a color printer, I would print that one, I like it so much. | |

| Hy...thanks to all
I used a little stick of clear plastic (those used to cover the brush top) to make the chimera fliyng...
The hard thing to do was to give "credibility" to a miny that is made by several creatures part...so I tried to make the colors change with a lot of attention...and of course the skeletal leggionaire on the base just to give some more details... | |

| | I'm now trying to finish a not more fiendish Girallon (I teked off the tail...), then If I have time maybe I'll try to follow Runelord and temperance (ptlee) with an HFO repaint (but maybe there will be more WD on the run before it) | |
