There was a time when I posted on at least 10 forums.... Now I'm down to five since Warseer and Cool Minis have gone belly up. What a shame. There is plenty more detail/building that needs to be done. The internal magazines, the cloister gardens, in fact all of the upper galleries have to be...

Ready For Prime Well the back is finally done and I'm about to spray on the gray primer. Once I see it in a uniform gray I will be better able to determine if it is detailed enough.

Thousands of Bits of Plastic Literally thousands of bits of plastic added since last I posted and d*mn me if I can see a difference overall. I've carried out the closely spaced chest high crenellations theme to protect the combatants and added doors, ossuaries and scroll of departed crew...

Thanks for the reply... In my previous post I mentioned how everything was coming together almost as if it were planned... Nothing could be further from the truth; witness the large blank area at the rear of this Titan. There was very little to go on in many areas of the rear elevation...

Detail of the legs and the 8 deck levels at the rear of the superstructure. Alright we'll begin with the rear maintenance lower decks of which there will be four. The bottom two will be for the reactor core which will look like the Warlords reactor The three blue pipes are for the cooling...

The top level four corner bastions are essentially finished; the four corner bases are awaiting some decorative bitz. Rather than subjecting my erstwhile viewers to the tedium of daily progress I opted to show a month's work in one swell foop... The much neglected rear view of this model is my...

Superstructure Detail: Whew! After a month or more I finally have something to show for all this effort... First I found that a lot of the detail previously done was wrong or unsatisfactory. The secondary armament in the corner bastions all had to be redone. I ran out of ossarium panels...

Oh yeah; all the leg, hip, waist, shoulder, arm, neck etc. joints are poseable. The only thing it cannot do that the Warlord can is swing the hip joints fore and aft which isn't a big loss because the foot pads prevent that movement anyway. All my models are fully poseable; on the Warhound even...

Armour Continued: The decorative armour seems to be more difficult than I anticipated. My version of the Sun Blaster is more robust that the FW cannon so it requires some aesthetic compromises which I hope will work out. I scribed out some lines to show where the plate reinforcement strips...

Laser Blaster Armour and Shroud It's finally time to address the armour for the arm weapons. I've been putting this off long enough. One of the things I have been noticing in many attempts to build one of these hulking monstrosities is the walls of the cannons (in this case Blasters) and the...

Ha, My frustration provoked a lot of responses. Thanks for all the commiseration. I wasn't as all that upset but I was astounded at the detail.

Relegated to the stone age. I've been too long in the manufacture of this model and 3D printing technology has consigned me to the dust bin of "also ran." I was quite proud of my recently manufactured spires until I saw this Emperor Titan. How' I supposed to compete with that! Look at the...

A weeks worth of work Where I attempted to replicate the leg armour in the hip area. Since this is supposed to be an ornamented version of a Emperor Titan as opposed to my Lucius pattern Warlord I am proceeding with the decorative armour. This will set the pattern fo all the armour on...

Now explain the explanation.... Sheesh! I'll stick with the piano.

Violin, An ideal time to ask what has been perplexing me for years... I understand the frets on a guitar and a banjo but for the life of me I cannot figure out how you know where you put your fingers on the neck of a violin to get the proper note. It must be very difficult to learn the...
