As for the radar, I've already made one, that's why there's a hole in the turret. I'm basing my model heavily on the FW one and it does have a round "knob" that's a radar.<br /><br />@Rob<br />Both will probably work, but remember the Manticore isn't open-topped and Chimera is cheaper. :)<br /><br />@Craig<br />Not sure about the flamer on it, to be honest. I'll probably stick with the bolter. And the turret is neccessary, since game-wise it helps a lot - Manticore doesn't have to pivot to fire.Hal'jinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-69656541915556910252009-09-04T09:54:02.409+02:002009-09-04T09:54:02.409+02:00Heiya!

Tamiya and Italieri has some really cool packs for just 9 bucks or so. Usualy this stuff is a bit oversized, but the manticore is serious business!!! :D<br /><br />You will not place any radar or something like that? I will in my future model, it could be a nice detail...<br /><br />Cheers!Enrique M.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01340214629868098031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-57658092971140418732009-09-04T02:54:35.511+02:002009-09-04T02:54:35.511+02:00It looks pretty cool.

I'm thinking about working on a Manticore as well, but I was planning to use a Basilisk kit instead to have the platform/gun shield to work off of.<br /><br />They're all Chimera-based, so I'm hoping for the best.<br /><br />Are those the missles from a Valkyrie kit? I have some of those lying around, but I didn't even think to use them. I'm glad I saw this before I started trying to make my own missles.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138140731768013302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-26832262791904766592009-09-04T00:11:37.830+02:002009-09-04T00:11:37.830+02:00does it need the turret on the top? cos you could ...does it need the turret on the top? cos you could just put it on the actual hull.<br />have you glued the bolter on the front?
