Rediscovering the Wheel: Before I found the rear view of this version of Joazzz2's Emperor Titan I modeled certain components of the superstructure deck including the corner hanging bastions or turrets. I made only two and while quite successful on completion I'd forgotten how I actually built...

Secondary Towers: The more I study the image of the Emperor Deck the more detail stands out on this marvelous 3D image by Joazzz2. I was aware of the smaller towers on the superstructure deck but I did not perceive there were ten of them until this week. What was going to be a minor...

Dribs and Drabs: But in these Summer months it's hard to not take advantage of the wonderful pool weather. Much too nice to be indoors working on plastic models. But here's a few images to tide over until the rains return. First the superstructure deck now has forward battlements and the...

Thanks for the replies..... Hard To Find Time In the Summer: With all the outdoor activity it's hard to knuckle down and make headway on these projects. Thanks for rainy days..... Began the Superstructure Breast Works this week and finally managed to finalize the size of the Cathedral...

Well I finally bit the bullet and purchased the single most expensive component(s) of this model. Namely the Sanctum and Basilicanum Cathedral pieces for the superstructure. https://i.imgur.com/QO3TFnH.jpg There may be those who think I've compromised but once I saw those statues I knew I...

With such an outpouring of interest I had my son come over to help me assemble the two components. https://i.imgur.com/DH88myl.jpg The good news is the legs can support the weight of the upper torso. The bad news is it is at the moment rather top heavy. https://i.imgur.com/w4DmHxN.jpg...

Sorry to Disappoint: But the work just done in no way is reflected in the minuscule advancement in the images proffered here. While the Groin construction must bear the mass of over half this Titan there is little to be seen indicated in the images presented here...

Groin Secondary Detail: Some of the most tedious repetitive structures to make are these Gothic style window frames. There are dozens of these and the sizes are almost all different so you cannot even set up an assembly line. https://i.imgur.com/2U3lNvH.jpg Of course some wag will say cast...

It's been a while since I've posted; we've got a lot of catching up to do.... https://i.imgur.com/TqR7uy1.jpg This evening I tack glued on the corner pieces to the Pelvic Block just for the pictures shown here https://i.imgur.com/ukKBjyC.jpg So you are seeing in pretty much real time as...

I don't have the patience to do that kind of work. Maybe when I am finished with the actual construction.

Forgot to post this update: Flexibility of the Legs: The first two images demonstrate the flexibility of the legs. https://i.imgur.com/rOp4vyv.jpg While not as articulated as my Warlord and Warhound it does have the ability to appear to be ambulatory. https://i.imgur.com/HxvqLrd.jpg The...

Yesterday Morning: The Pelvic Block was about 4 inches square. Now it is about 6 inches by 4 inches and the basic shape is established. https://i.imgur.com/bGo5EXn.jpg This side view show the shape of the original Block https://i.imgur.com/bGo5EXn.jpg The Lower Body Turntable seated above...

Emperor Titan Pelvic Block: My obsession with having the option of posing my creations has worked out previously, My scratchbuilt Warhound, Warlord, Thunderhawk and Reaver have the ability to be positioned an virtually any configuration even beyond that which is mechanically sound in practice...

Composite Image: I've been asked to put this together for an overall image of the work thus far. Well it's too tall for the work console I have to stack the two major components, legs and torso, plus the whole thing is front heavy at the moment with none of the rear counterweights installed...

Corner Towers Done...... The basic octagonal structure that is. There are still two levels of surface detail to apply but aside from the AA cannon emplacements this will be the height of the Imperator version of this Titan. https://i.imgur.com/z7u8CZ9.jpg I'm so confused as to what the...

Sanctum Sanctorum:. Awright no comments on the man-cave. https://i.imgur.com/MBOgm4T.jpg As you may have gathered I'm single. Who else could dump thousands on stuff I should have outgrown ages ago but hey, I love working on this stuff. Prior to this I built 18th century American warship...

These complex structures are amoung the most difficult I have built for this Titan. Considering they will have to bear little weight in comparison they are extremely over built. https://i.imgur.com/MKAMJX8.jpg Compounding this the corner towers are octagonal in shape. This does not lend...

First Inkling: Today I got my first inkling of this model in it's entirety. Up to now I've manufactured separate components but the overall magnitude escaped me. Now I see the full scope of it's height which will be about 5 feet tall so scale-wise at the 25/28 MM the model will stand 336 to 360...

Leaps and Bounds: Vis-à-vis ennui. Virtually 99% of this construction is utter boredom. Yesterday I was so jazzed about completing a major milestone with the fabrication of the first tier of the Barbicans I began construction of the second tier. https://i.imgur.com/3VIX6P7.jpg Two hours...

Thanks, An Error In Perspective: One of the major drawbacks of OCD is good enough is never good enough. All the while I was building these Barbicans something just did not seem right about the positioning of the spires until last week when I finally deduced what should have been readily...
