CHAOS CRISIS BATTLESUIT: CRISIS BATTLESUIT! before green stuff!

CHIMERA MINIATURES: Has finished building that ruined battle suit into something a little different then what we had expected...

HERES WHAT I ENDED UP DOING WITH THE REMAINDER OF THAT RUINED TAU CRISIS BATTLESUIT (GREENSTUFF WILL BE DONE THIS EVENING): 


 (His parts are from an array of kits: Furioso dreadnought, tau crisis battle suit, Scions command squad boxset, Iron fist boxset etc)

Games Workshop has sent us out a new perfect Crisis battle suit in replacement of that screwy set of pieces! SO WE WILL BE BUILDING TERRON! but I'm pretty stoked how this guy turned out regardless he'll go well in my own personal collection! He just needs that "spot" green stuffed, a few banners green stuffed on him! a few more pieces, mold lines filed, excess glue removed, and actually pin mounted and glued to the stand. then we'll be good to prime him!



Heres some photos of the flag and base!:

The flag will actually have a green stuffed banner that travels from top of the flag and wrapping around the pole!

The scene was originally built and painted quickly as capture point for the many games I Was playing with a client I was working with through the government... long story. It was removed and put on this white dreadnought base. I need to add small rocks, pebbles and sand! when its finished it will be ww1 trench themed! very brown, muddy, with snow affects and lots of blood!


Oh and one of me at CHIMERA MINIATURES! working hard! PHOTO CRED: Danielle!


Any spots that are imperfect from the miss shaped thruster(that refused to close):



 will have mudding/weather/rust affects and lots of typhus corrosion, He'll be primed black, then dark grey working my way up to the highlights. I'll be using my Master airbrush for this! and then doing all the banners, flags, details, and fine highlights etc with a brush! Then he'll suffer weather and rusting followed by mudd affects, snow affects! and lots of blood!

Stay tuned as We'll be posting this evening when all his sculpting work is complete!

LOOT CRATE UNBOXING! and Dante the Human V.s. JAKE THE ZOMBIE DOOOOGG!!!

LOOT CRATE UNBOXING:



Heres the video (Disclaimer: :AS THERE WAS SMALL PARTS, AND UNWASHED SANITIZED ITEMS WE DID NOT ALLOW DANTE TO HOLD THEM, UNTIL AFTERWARDS, APOLOGIES, SOME ITEMS WERE PUT UP, THE BOX WAS WIPED DOWN PREVIOUSLY TO BEING OPENED, AND HE WAS BEING MONITORED AT ALL TIMES. OBVIOUSLY: ALSO WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE EXTREMELY AWKWARD ANGLE OF BOTH THE CAMERA AND MY ITEM DISPLAY METHOD)

oh and Do not be alarmed on how incorrect I am on a lot of the items.. hahaha


Heres the unboxing photos of the GEAR!: 










Our Honey Bunny with a certain Zombie dog!

Overall Review: This unboxing was awesome! were excited for next month! as far as all the items we were a little disappointed its more adult based, but still extremely happy with all our loot!

We give this boxing a 5 out of 5 star rating! but recommend it for 10+

VISIT LOOT CRATE AT THEIR WEBSITE TO LEARN MORE: LOOT CRATE
In the future Danielle and I plan to purchase Loot crate for her and I too continue to do unboxing videos with Dante, However we plan to specifically buy Dante Nerd Crate and Nerd crate for boys every month as these two packages are more youth orientated, Which they`re will be unboxing videos for!

Also to announce Chimera Miniatures will be doing an unboxing video of horror crate in June! Which will be Done by Danielle and Myself!

So far Dantes been playing with the Jake tin (which we can use when hes not playing with to store his cookies in for road trips! they seem to get crushed easily in our travel bags) more then Fiona!

An thats because this morning...

JAKE THE ZOMBIE ARRIVED!!!!!


(He sincerely hated it! the package was making him upset!)

Until we Opened It!!





ADVENTURE TIME!!!

Dante fell in Love with his new plushy JAKE THE DOG as a ZOMBIE, from the episode where science the rat saves everyone! We love to sit and watch that episode he giggles and laughs away the whole time!

Any ways heres tons of photos of our little sweetie pie playing with his new SUPER ZOMBIE DOG:

"COMIC BOOK" honesty co designer eco friendly diaper brand unboxing!

One diaper brand to rule them all, an in Honesty Co.'s case this might be true!
an honesty Co designer eco friendly diaper brand unboxing! 

Hi Chimera Miniatures here this is Danielle and Tyler with an unboxing of Honesty Co's Designer brand of diapers "Comic book" themed, The box alone was fantastic, the reveal was overwhelming!









Overall the amount of effort on design quality alone, makes these wonderful diapers, so we'll see if the quality makes it a brand worth buying into. 






 We'll be reviewing the "ingredients" what makes it biodegradable and why its a more natural product then the competitor!

 More for less? hell yes!
 A great quality diaper, my son Dante's diaper of choice over Huggies and other brands, personal preference is understandable as all these diapers are extremely similar in make, design, and hazardous ingredients!

 The big Reveal!

 Close up!


 Inside! longer and thicker interior pad then any diaper I've seen, and so will you in our reviews!






 stay tuned for our review! and comparison to other diapers! they're twice as long, with its pad twice the size and twice as absorbent! making them thicker and more durable then the competitor!




No, Thank you! We're proud to support
CANADIAN COMPANIES! 

CHECK OUT THE HONESTLY COMPANIES WEBSITE HERE: Honesty Co. 

Stay tuned for this weekend: Testing on the Kryptonite free supa hero bum! comparing them to other brand diapers! and our overall review of Honest Co.s' designer "Comic book themed" diapers!
