Thanks for the replies. House of Cards: It's about time to start fastening things together. Relying on friction won't cut it anymore as what is imaged here weighs about 30 lbs (14 Kilo) https://i.imgur.com/NFOQRbS.jpg With the 8 lbs of Plasma Blaster this thing is too unwieldy to to leave...

Reverse Engineering: Sometimes it pays to be pigheaded such as my obsessive insistence to retain the beautiful shoulder yoke so ably represented in Mr Joazzz2's 3D masterpieces of elegant Emperor Titans. The other example of my OCD is to attempt to meld that yoke with the equally elegant...

A View From A Height: It's no secret I'm just a copier; none of this stuff is original with me. I prefer to think of myself as viewing from a height; picking and choosing that which I think would go best on my models and adapting the modifications to make them work with the rest of the...

Cloaca: At the charging end of the Plasma Blaster is this cylindrical structure that is somewhat convex and fortunately I had a piece of recyclable styrene of adequate size that had a flattened dome shape. It was a simple matter to divide it into twelfths but somewhat more difficult to space...

Consider Me Crazy: If someone had told me that it would take me all Summer and then some to make this Annihilator Plasma Blaster I would have considered him crazy. https://i.imgur.com/huG26nX.jpg After all I build a Warlord Titan in less than two years and it took about two weeks to make...

Plasma Blaster Reactor: Or whatever it is will serve as the counterweight for this monster of a gun. https://i.imgur.com/SEj3WO1.jpg Once I finish the basic detail I'll be putting about ten ounces of weight in the rear compartment. https://i.imgur.com/Ru9zoyb.jpg

When Will There Be An End? I am so sick of this weapon. It's like pushing a snowball uphill. The bigger it gets the harder it is to push it further... https://i.imgur.com/67h9Z7P.jpg My only consolation is; the rest of the weapons will be a piece of cake in comparison...

Just a Quick One Today: Working on the reactor coil (whatever) It's a complex piece of machinery with a lot of delicate parts. The Plastic cement eats through the curved 0.040 inch square stock instantly so I had to use 0.5 inch tubing for the ends of the slots. https://i.imgur.com/IBhq3II.jpg...

That's About the Size of It: I finally can appreciate the size of this construct and I am revisiting my anxiety over the scale Vis-à-vis the actual Titan. https://i.imgur.com/XLL36Aw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/990xV1i.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vchVYlh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KNciCjg.jpg...

You have anticipated my next post; is it any wonder you are the Senior Administrator!!!! :D Cochlear Implant: I'm frequently asked how I develop a construction from just images on a computer screen. and I suppose this is a prime demonstration candidate. the Cochlear shaped reactor core at the...

Thanks for the glowing accolades; One Week Later: It's been a busy week but I managed to fit in a bit of building. The biggest accomplishment is a second Arms Mount section for the other armament items. https://i.imgur.com/9yj9h3H.jpg It is a source of irritation to me that each of these...

Weekend Update: I had hoped to be further along in the rear mechanisms by now but I ran into a bit of a snag when I realized the the rear section of the weapon expanded further than the surface armour surrounding the mount disk. Since my gun is wider overall than the Warlord weapon I have...

Time to Take Stock: I've reached a point where I need to economize on the number of components to duplicate and for the past week I've been thinking of a way to save work on making redundant items and I believe I have come up with a way. https://i.imgur.com/ZeUtl3H.jpg The suspender arm...

It's been said that the only reason that people go to Cockroach Races is to see a Cockroach crash. By extension; the only reason people view my threads is to see me Frak up. https://i.imgur.com/ZLZmcDD.jpg Well sorry to disappoint but it ain't gonna happen this day. Today is the first time...

Getting There: What else can I say? https://i.imgur.com/jbx20fT.jpg This is a labor intensive project........... https://i.imgur.com/WR4APDH.jpg

In and Out of the Doldrums: Yesterday I found myself dissatisfied with the progress of this construct. Today after finding what was the problem I'm optimistic about the progress. Plus I found an image that shows the length of the Primary weapons at about 13 inches...

What I Meant By Disappointing: (I wasn't fishing for compliments) :D I suppose I should explain what I meant by disappointing but something did not look right about the panels on either side of the muzzle and the five exhaust ports between the vertical coils. I researched a lot last night and...

Disappointing: To say the least but it's good to show your failures occasionally lest you become too full of yourself. https://i.imgur.com/7pkSCnG.jpg I think I am getting tired of replicating this weapon The above image of the er whatever this is and the image below which I thought would...

I'd have to read through the thread again, but I just want to know quickly, the vast majority of the medium you use is Styrene Primarily Evergreen And Plastruct Plus Industrial grade Sheet Styrene (Because it's a lot CHEAPER) and it's held together with Testors And Tamiya Plastic Cement Bogged...

A Budding Neophyte: Back in the days when the Blackadder was a budding neophyte he attempted to make a Plasma Blaster for a StormBlade variant. The result was of indifferent quality but I could not figure out a way to make the muzzle cowl long thin exhaust ports. So today I was faced with the...
