Wow, they look solid!
The 2.5 aspect of this Chimera series looks tempting!

They are good pieces, but they do require a bit of work.
I recommend building the freebie one first.

Somewhere I have misplaced my pic of the assembly instructions for the stalker. Anyone know where I can grab another copy?
Thanks

I'm knocking up an "army" of these wee beasties and the hybrid slashers as well. I do find them quite difficult to build neatly, what with the curvy dorsal thingies and the thin slot holes: Actually, I am not using the slots, rather sticking the limbs onto the body with an extra thick bit of card to give a bit of width. But they're well worth the effort.  Soon we'll get to see who's the toughest dudes on the table: Squirmydad's Hybrids or Okumart's Orcs...  |

Thanks VK. What are the extra "torso"'s for then? Are they for adding strength to the figure at the legs and arms slots? |

Now it makes a whole lot more sense. I've been using them to stabilize my stalker claws and legs. These things are a booger to keep steady. Thanks again VK  |

I used super glue to make them solid

Think you might be able to give us a close-up of one of them to see how you are attaching things? It might just be easier than doing it the other way. |

I need to do some more of these some day. Even super glue doesn't hold up to the feline that thinks they look tasty

Thanks for posting those VK. The extra torsos are to give options for the bio weapons package which contains lots of weapons and arms and tentacles and claws.

Think you might be able to give us a close-up of one of them to see how you are attaching things? It might just be easier than doing it the other way.  I hope this is clear enough. I punched out some of the backing card from a watercolour paper pad and stuck full circles where the hips are and half discs just under the shoulder slots. Where the hip pieces act as spacers, the arm-pit bits are more like shelf brackets. The thick card used isn't ideal as it is made from compressed layers, so is easy to split into layers if not careful. On the first two, I forgot to blackout the sides of the arm-pit bits. I use the ever faithful Sharpie to blackout the edges and exposed sides. |

I know it's not the point of this thread, but seeing these instructions has got me wanting to try my hand at designing a model with a similar build process.
Stop giving me extra work, you monsters!

The Chimera Hybrids need a fourth color scheme and this is what I'm currently exploring;  Which scheme works better? |

I'd say the one on the left...

That's where I was leaning, but wanted to see what an alternative/reversed would look like.
Thanks.

Black+red (left) I would the red much darker, like arterial blood. But that's me  |

Keep in mind, when this is printed out, it will probably seem darker. I still have to play with my colors on most of my models, brightening them up so they print well.
Let's hold off on judgment until we see the whole thing

IMHO on the gaming table, from a distance, red one will probably look better - more expressive, and definitely will stand-out!
But judging just by the attached picture, black looks more dangerous and more mysterious - so kinda way cooler!

I've added a red+black version to this kit and updated the pdf's to be compatible with the current Silhouette software. If you have already purchased it just check your library for the update. www.drivethrurpg.com/product/54885/Chimera-Hybrid-Stalkersedit-> I made a small goof in the layout, Stalkers have been re-re-re-uploaded. |

Spent two 'fun' hours last night unclogging a heat break tube (the nozzle was a lost cause and replaced). Stupid bowden tube slipped and molten plastic spilled up into the heat break tube and congealed.
