    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    I've decided to assemble this Titan to see where I am regarding painting. I've already run into problems with the greaves as I painted over the penciled assembly remarks. Ha! The images below show the gold clad statuary which I may or not use in the final construction. Either way I'll make...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    The first thing I modeled for this Titan was the helmet/cockpit. Here it is seven years later and I finally worked up the courage to finally paint it...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Yeah, Painting the whole structure with Flat Black Primer was quite a chore. Not being ambidexterous I wore out my right index finger in the hours it took to completely cover the surface areas. Twice in fact as there were areas that needed a second coat. This is not counting the areas that...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Well it's 3 months since I posted and I managed to paint the whole titan with black primer. Masked off all of the super structure that would be painted gold and hand rubbed with Aluminum powder all the internal structures that will be visible when the titan is finally assembled. The image...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Geez, it's been two months since I last posted. I look at this thing and wonder when I'll be able to find the time to work in it again But yesterday I bit the bullet and began masking the citadel four corner bastions I'm rather disappointed in the leg armour It looks cartoonish. Perhaps...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Doldrums: Occasionally I get in the doldrums and wonder if this thing will ever be completed. But then something like today happens where I seemingly can do no wrong. I started out to see where I could go as far as making windows for the bastions. I did a google search for stained glass...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Hmm, I don't think I deserve it but there seems like I've been missed over the past few months. Thanks to all for keeping this tread alive. Aside from the mishaps with my user name and password. I had not the energy to post the current work when it really didn't show all the fine detail I...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Finally!!! I lost all my passwords and access to all my forums which is considerably attenuated since the beginning of this year. This morning I finally got into Zealot and am able to post. So here are the current images with paint primer How many spray cans will you need? A couple of dozen...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    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.

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    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...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    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...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    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...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    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...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    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...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    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...
