    More like obsessive compulsive masochism but you're right, it is finally taking shape.

    Together Again:

    The leg/waist component is back together again with new lighting, new bolts and nut axles, new escape hatch and detail on the underside of the pelvis and a new covering of graphite hued skin which will have to be brightened with some beauty marks.

    But in fairness the room is quite dark and the flash somehow augments the darkness.

    The electronics are moving ahead quite well and the interior lighting should be finished this coming weekend.

    On the upper torso the new Engineering 'Blast Door' is completed and installed and the gunner platform behind the chest plate is ready but not as yet installed (It will be a removable piece consisting of two gunners and bolters firing down at enemy ground personnel.

    Big surprise in this image the greave floodlights seem to be working, they are actually reflecting the flash.

    Judging by the lack of replies no one is pleased with the finish I've chosen............

    Together Again, Again:

    This time with the upper torso reassembled. I haven't seen this this complete until today when it's been completely assembled (aside from a few glitches such as the new beefier gun stanchions interfere with the catwalks and the interior of the main guns barrels need to be painted. I started highlighting basic shiny armour with metallic gold and copper dry pigments but only on the interior. The effect needs a little refining before pictures.

    The exterior needs some lighter silvery highlights and quite a few splashes of colour I know but right now I am overly pleased with the effect so far.

    These low angle shots really show the majesty of this titan much more so than straight on and high level images especially without pieces that demonstrate the scale of the beast.

    I have to install locking washers on the axles because the upper torso has become so heavy the bolts loosen just standing static and Luteus almost took a header off the telly console and I caught it just in time before it crashed to the floor.

    Note in the view above the engineering upper gallery faceted rectangular view ports, I may highlight those with copper bands so the glue seams don't show.

    Finally what every grunt longs for; that a Warlord has passed him by and he can still lives to tell about it.

    In all not a bad week's effort...........I may celebrate tonight with a Martini.

    Will you be doing anything to pick out the surface detail later? I'm assuming it shows up a bit better in person and that it's the flash making it look rather flat in the pictures, but there look to be lots of cogs and gribbly bits that I thought may be a different sort of metal to the main chassis. (And yes, I know you're no where near up to that bit yet, I'm just curious.)

    No not finished (Will it ever be "Finished" probably not?) but ostensibly for now the main components are satisfactorily completed.

    Still to be done:

    Highlighting the armour with silvers, golds, and copper and a steel blue wash in certain areas plus an overall black wash to reveal the detail.

    Interior paint, computer panels and more lighting.

    Chasing circuits for the plasma weapons and turbo lasers (Still haven't figured those out?)

    Assorted heraldry and purity seals.

    Assorted Banners and battle pendants.

    Crew, gunners, tech priests and auto and manned small arms (Bolters) installations.

    A display base and stand.

    Thanks for getting me to formulate a list although I'm sure it's not complete...........

    I don't get the tinme to indulge in this hobby anymore, haven't lifted a paintbrush in 6 months, but I STILL keep checking back to see if this monster is finished. It's got to be one of the biggest homages to any sci-fi universe since that guy turned his house into the bridge on the Enterprise (it did happen). This is amazing, and you deserve a medal from GW, maybe even free stuff for life. Congrats sir, this is an amazing piece of work and I can't wait to see it completed, heraldry and all.

    Well I'd not go to that extreme but I did convert my den into a GW R&D center and utilize a good portion of the kitchen for my electronic work on an as need basis.

    Back when SW episode three was current I did make a scratch Darth Vader costume for a Halloween party although to tell the truth I did buy the mask. I wouldn't have to now as I probably could recreate a better one (The one they sell for fifty bucks is too small.) Ha!

    Another problem with Darth Vader costumes is the wearer is usually too short, even wearing engineer boots I'm 5 CM shorter than Dave Prowse in costume:
