Starship Chimera

The Chimera, from Starship IV, our forth Kickstarter, is an original, fully 3D-printable 28-mm scale spaceship for tabletop play and display. Named after a creature of Greek myth, which is composed of the parts of many different creatures, Starship Chimera has the ability to be reconfigured in length, height and width whichs makes it our largest and most versatile starship to date!

The Chimera is a cargo hauler’s dream, allowing you to transport supplies to far off colonies, deposit tactical vehicles in hostile territories, or bring back artefacts from alien worlds. The Chimera is detailed inside and out and a variety of configurations can be used to customise the deck plans that include three decks standard.

Starship Chimera was our first fully modular 3d-printable 28-mm scale starship for tabletop play and display.

The hangar can fit a variety of small vehicles

The bridge, situation room and cargo bay

The Chimera series was always designed to be modular and allow for many variants, although creating new iterations can be a challenge without access to Deck Designer/3Dio, there are some iconic starship variants available, as well as expansion packs to add additional parts to customise any Chimera chassis.

Chimera Pathfinder

The Chimera Pathfinder is a smaller starship variant of the Chimera series designed to be more approachable as a project.
