Hells Reach a Homage:
Having watched Helsreach for the dozenth time to get a feel for the next area of construction it was a good time to assemble the model again.
As stated previously; I need a perspective on the courtyard in front of the 'Keep'.
I want to have a staircase leading up to the entry flanked by the enormous statues but also bearing in mind the 2+ meter bore cannon that also will occupy that area as well.
It's also worthy of note that the pelvis, knees and ankles can be posed without toppling the entire structure so my concerns that the legs would not bear the mass of the structure were allayed.
You can see in the above image there is not a lot of room for my grandiose plans, especially a portico under the huge Volcano Cannon.
Another feature of which the casual reader may not be aware is that 'Invigilatus' (yes he now has a name) is fully articulated; almost as much as 'Leutus Vexant', my Warlord Titan.
He can be posed in almost any reasonable configuration; here seen stepping forward with his right leg.
.
My Obsessive attention to detail dictates all my projects have fully movable joints which gave me concerns about the strength of the joints.
But even with eight extra pounds of sand bags applied this morning, the joints remained viable.
I do still have to stabilize the ankle joints which is why he is propped against the bookcase.
This was the cause of the recent toppling's and I am working on a solution.
Rear elevations coming soon.....
