    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Falling Together… Somewhat After major renovations to the front and side bulwarks plus adding the concave panel below the decking gives a much more finished appearance to the overall project. One of the criticisms I have with huge structures of this type is that the decks appear too flimsy...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Shazam! The crenellations have been increased by 6 giving a grand total of 34 across the front giving the busy look of the castle superstructure but not cramping the components as it did before. There is now room to position personnel along the battlements.... The corner turrets are...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Blood Sweat and Tears: It's a pain when areas you thought were complete need to be modified. But I would never be happy with the deck being too small to accommodate the structures situated on the platform. As you can see I had to add three dentations to each end of the deck platform. This...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    One Step Forward Two Steps Back; I finally bit the bullet and opted to expand the width of the forward deck. The image below shows the full forward deck before my attempt at modifying the width.... Removing the corner turrets and lopping off a single row of waffle panel on each side I...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    I'll probably paint it red and gold which is a departure from my usual scheme of graphite over flat Black. In a way I am glad FW went with the Alpha Pattern Mode. It gives me leave to consider this Titan to be a Lucius Pattern Emperor. I can decorate it in a similar vein as my Warlord

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Not a problem Vejut. Making it look right in my minds eye is what make this project interesting. If everything went together perfectly what a bore that would be. My third try at this Quake Cannon seems to have hit the mark.... The muzzle brake adds a nice touch (If that is what I think it...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Thanks for the reply..... A Change of Pace: It's time to readdress the Raison d'etre of this project. The second main weapon arm will be a Gatling style multiple barrel weapon. I'll have to redesign the gun mounts on both the arm weapons as they hang too low and may interfere with the hips...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Anyway I think I nailed it albeit I do have to widen the front of the deck as it does look a tad crowded especially with the four towers on either side of the main Quake cannon. I have varied the flanking "portcullis" towers a bit because the taller thin towers look better behind...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Thanks for all the replies; I was in a playful mood yesterday and decided to spend my time making an Adeptus Mechanicus Icon for the front of the Quake Cannon housing. After a couple of failed attempts I suddenly remembered how I used to produce them, i.e. Mount the cut out circle and the...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    I've got some interesting Ideas but I've already (subject to change) got the look I am going for...... This is the effect I'm going for. Now I've just got to learn how to replicate it.

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Just to keep the record straight The above skulls and work were for my Warlord Titan which was completed in 2016. They're not for the current emperor Titan. I have a question and I need some advice. I'm resurrecting my old Titan Hunter Thread because I need to learn how to do the Plasma...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Thanks for the reply..... These bas reliefs are approximately 2-3 millimeters thick and are a fair representation of the Adeptus Mechanicus Icon. Gone are the days when I use to spend hours sculpting bas reliefs to decorate my projects. Witness the effort I put into the pelvic block of my...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    It's Beginning To Look a Tad Cluttered: I may have to widen the superstructure platform. This is not as drastic as it sounds because I've already widened the rear of the platform and extended it further aft. An inch wider would probably make all the difference The central Tower...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Is That a 200CM Cannon in Your Pocket? Or are you just glad there is an update? Anyway before I can go any further with the detail on the center module I need to rough out the cannon mount. An old vacuum cleaner extension tube provides the basic barrel and I'll just trim it out with a...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Thanks for the reply..... Everything Is Roses: Even the mistakes are working out; almost as if they were planned. The 100.00 caliber (2,54 meter) quake cannon emplacement is coming along and should allow for a 45° elevation when completed. The two stylized Aquila fit the trunnion covers...

    Eohippus: A horse is a horse of course, of course.... Yesterday my better half said this looked like a dinosaur. Today she said it looked like an Eohippus.... Huh! What do women know. I think it looks like a stylized Aquila and I like it. And birds descended from Dinosaurs so I'm on...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Two Weeks in the Making: At this rate it's going to take decades to finish this thing. Hardly the project for someone who's reluctant to purchase green bananas. But Hey; the fun is in the building and I did have fun creating these eagles.... Not! It was an arduous task principally because I...

    To Voyage to the Delta Quadrant (for the third time....) :)

    What is the size of this? Is this a paper model kit or your own design? Are you gluing the cutout pieces onto sheet styrene before you assemble them? It will make for a more durable model. I've so many questions regarding this excellent model; I'm glad I finally had time to explore this...

    Blackadder's Imperator Titan Build

    Here come the eagles.... No not the 'Lords of the Ring' eagles but the 40K Imperial eagles. It took me the better part of this week to make 4 of these plus a paper and plastic template for future use. It hardly looks like a week's production but it's most gratifying to get these done...
