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...

Joint Armour I've thought about this a lot over the past few months and nothing I could come up with filled the bill of what I am looking for. The joint armour must cover the knee and hip joint but still not be bulky and clumsy looking. It must be logical and functional but still be pleasing...

We're back ( I hope for good ) To tell the truth I've been busy with local politics and have not had time to work on this project for the past four months. I'll scrounge around for some update images. Last week I totally disassembled the model to make ready to work on the upper deck. I...

Don't give me any ideas. :D Yeah, I've been totally remiss in posting new work but in spite of the tedium of adding all these bits and the time consumed it does not seem very much to report... So we'll take it from where I installed the spikes on the corona. This actually is a chaos feature...

Thanks for the replies, Whew; well it took the better part of a month but I finally finished the corner obelisks. Literally thousands of pieces But I think it was worth it. I can't wait until they're painted gold and graphite and installed on the Titan's super structure. The beauty of...

Corner Bastions, In the past few weeks I've managed to complete hundreds of components out of thousands of bits on plastic. I have far outstripped my budget and my original ambition for this project. Seen below is my first trial assembly of the corner Bastion with its corner pylons each of...

Guess What These Are? Hints; They're grey and gold. There will be 32 of them on the model when finished ... yeah I'm making a couple extra and picking 32 of the best. They are divided into 3 panels with 2 spacers. There are two of them in the Emperor image below.

Octagons... That Feeling You Get When Things Go Awry It was a matter of disappointment when I found the turrets were hexagonal and would not fit the upper bastion assemblies. Ultimately I had to make my own... Fortunately I could still use the guns. The upper works of one of the four...

Are We Having Fun Yet! It took me the better part of a week but I finally have 22 cathedral style window frames for my buttresses. Basilica Adminstratum I cut them out from the panels of couple Basilica Adminstratum kits I had lying about. Cripes! Blackadder Do you know what those kits...

Ye Gods, Has It Been That Long! Over the past six years and four months since I started this project I've been repeatedly asked, What colour am I going to paint this beasty. Well I've finally found a colour scheme I think will be befitting this endeavor. It combines the understated mechanical...

Thanks for the reply, Bastion Base Detail Yeah I know; it looks like a step backwards but it took me a couple of days installing these stained glass window frames and the details thus far. But now I can install the finer detail items such as layered armour, skulls and Aquilae, corner angles...

Back in the Saddle Again After being laid up with yet another bout with Covid, the worst one yet, these past few days have seen me in a flurry of industry where I managed to add quite a bit of detail to the upper works. This first images of the superstructure shows the angular shaped stained...

I broke my foot a couple of weeks ago and I haven't had the ambition to proceed with the project for a while. I've been itching to get back to it over the Past two days so expect an update soon. EB

Ammo Belt: After a few bad starts I finally went back to my original plan of how to create this structure. Also I decided to commit to an onboard round magazine rather than the drum attached to the weapon. The reason is twofold. 1 The Ammo drum is too bulky to attach to the loading...
