vilainlivesmatter Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hey guys, I'm assembling my first chimera and i've encountered an issue. Everything is fine except the multi-laser "nozzle" which from the assembly manual seems to be hollow, is one solid piece. Any advice on fixing this, i'm thinking of just drilling it, but i wanted to ask you guys first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Do you mean the slightly angled end of the gun? If so yes that should be hollow so you can slot it on (right side up of course!), so it sounds like you need to drill it out. To be on the safe side post a picture up if you can so we can double check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefragable Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have assembled 5x Chimeras and yes, the Multi-Laser "nozzle" is hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hmm, maybe your kit got past QC, it happens. I've had kits missing bases but never anything on that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened the other Chimera kit that i got and it has the same issue. Doubt its enough to call GW support over such an issue sorry for potato, quality. http://imgur.com/a/3bHka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a user problem on my end but I've tried it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Here's the image: http://i.imgur.com/UROFGZc.jpg As you can see it is covered, but I'd imagine it's a thin layer so should be easy to drill out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Yeah that doesn't look too bad. At least you already know where to drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilainlivesmatter Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 found my drill now i only need to find the drill bits, the whole thing is completely filled so i'll start working on another kit for the mean time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just looks like flashing. You could probably poke it out with a pen or hobby knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamansky Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Maybe that would be easier to cut that pin from the gun and just glue the nozzle to the barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Shamanskys idea is the easier option if you have not got the correct sized drill bit or you are a bit nervous ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
