    You and What Army?

    The God Machine Arises:

    Sorry to be so self indulgent but this is coming out much better than I expected.

    In the beginning I had shall we say neutral enthusiasm for the project because when finished (If Successful I must add) it would relegate My Luteus Vexant to second place.

    Now with a clear idea of how to build the chest area everything is falling into place and with both hanging buttresses in place the true width of the chest becomes apparent.

    In point of fact this beastie has wormed it's way into my heart and I am beginning to regret compromising on the hip structure.

    Tonight I am going to start on the superstructure platform which will support the Cathedral-like top hamper

    And tomorrow I have to make a Hobby run for more 1/2 inch square square tubing.

    Thought I was on the wrong thread............ As for most beautiful; meh.

    Back to the Titan,

    Once again serendipity:

    rears it's head. The "Hanging Butresses have structures that I suppose reinforce the arches and perhaps act as drains or down spouts. A large central one and two secondary on the wings. Inspecting my CoD bitz for inspiration I found the bas-relief tech priests on either side of the gothic arch windows made ideal. accents for these structures.

    I used a razor saw to fine cut the figures from the window frames by first cutting off the square beam, then the footing course, finally the figures from the remainder. I discarded the the excess of the top and sanded the back side smooth. I then glued the figure to 3/8th inch square tubing (9.5 MM)

    I still haven't decided how long to make these so for now I'll just make all four and adjust the length at another time after I make the inverted square spires.

    But as you can see, once again, blind luck has favored The Blackadder.

    Hanging Buttresses Update.....

    Busy work, not much to say as everything should be self-evident except the image is upside down for clarity.

    Completed Basic Buttress:

    With end piece inverted pyramids completed

    We are now ready to address the deck.

    The deck will be a rectangle 17 X 24 inches (43 X 61 CM)

    The Emperor Has Entered The Third Dimension:

    With the realization that not much more could be done with a two dimensional chest I made allowances for a more robust facade.

    The Buttresses installed (albeit held in place with hemostats) with allowances for positioning I will be proceeding with the cutting in of the superstructure deck.

    my mind's eye has main gun arms and supports engineering, command decks, and all important altars to the Ominissiah Machine God and suitable Tech Priests to carry out the requisite ritual.

    Onward and upward the superstructure is nascent in my brain.

    The Deck, Another Milestone:

    17 inches by 24 (43 CM by 61 CM) a six dollar piece of styrene that will ultimately be covered up....

    but necessary if I want to glue my superstructure to it.

    It all has to be of extremely light weight.

    Now It Can Be Told.

    I finally managed to isolate a decent image from the video model I've been working from. As you can see I've followed the concept rather closely but installed a few of my own and others ideas. Such as a different 'head' and raising the head off the waist plate; in this case about 4 inches (10 CM)

    I like the idea of the Imperial Eagle wing in the buttress but that may be a late add on. Right now I am working on the deck. Where the artist uses corbel to support the front edge I shall be using PVC 'cove' moulding. Enhanced with strip styrene trim; you'll get the idea once I start the process.......

    Laters, I'm off to cut the second course.

    Now this raises an interesting point regarding Forgeworld discrimination. To date there are five resin Titans in the Imperium of Man; Mars and Lucius. Two in Chaos (also men technically) I myself am waiting for a Chaos Warlord before I plunk down my hard earned shekels. One rather fey Eldar Titan Warhound equivalent and a Ork Gargant, also Warhound size, and a rather blandly designed Necron Titan which is more properly a tank. Why is FW ignoring the proponents of other Galactic races whilst doting on the armies of the backwater Third Rock from the Sun? I claim Galactic racial bias, shame on you FW.

    From a selfish standpoint I want an interesting 'Emperor' equivalent for one of the other interstellar races to model because where do I go from here after I finish this Titan. And it has to be ambulatory.
