We got a lot of stops and stares, honks and waves, as my neighbors found this on their way home Friday.

I’ve had to add a brace to Chimera 1’s leg. The joint proved too weak, so I made sure to reinforce the scythe as well.

Chimera 1’s green light almost seems to counter firelight. It’s not just the camera, either, the illusion permeates in person as well.
