    Ahahahah for a second there I misread it as: "May He Forever Continue To Trot!", which is not a bad slogan for a Titan, actually...

    A Week Vacation:

    Doldrums, I could not think. I knew what I wanted to do but the process eluded me.

    This morning I came up with a solution but it was my original thoughts, I just needed to hunker down and do it.

    so first I needed the rear housings,pretty straight forward just a rectangle with a 45° chamfer.

    I need to make the housings removable so the interior detail can be added later.

    The model will have a wrap around balcony below the head so doors on either side for access to the weapons observation deck is needed.

    All this is subject to change as the model evolves

    Hopelessly Outclassed

    I'm Afraid my Warlord will be hopelessly outclassed by this new addition to my Titan Stable which I project to be half again taller than the Warlord. About 40 inches tall or one Meter if you are into an inhumane system of measurment.

    My new Workshop arrangement is better able to display my creations as I build which makes for a more inspiring atmosphere.

    Spur me along as it were.

    Sitting at the computer having these two staring down at me is a bit disconcerting. Almost accusatory in their gaze seeming to say, Get busy and finish this up.

    "inhumane system of measurement." That's actually quite correct. Although personally I'm a fan of 1 Liter of water being 1 Kg, I've heard from other scratch builders that the millimeter is too constricting at times. When dealing with stuff thinner than a finger nail, I guess that makes sense.

    And it does seem as if the Imperator is willing you to continue. He doesn't look that happy, partially disembodied, sitting next to its completed little brother. He's standing there, swaying in a smug little victory dance.

    Inhumane in the sense that I tried to do carpentry using the metric system and found it extremely difficult to work with MM, (too coarse) (CM, too short) and meters (too long) compared to fractions of an inch (width of a circular saw blade is an 1/8 of an inch BTW) inches (Ah! just right) and foot/feet a perfectly natural measurement (Coincidentally my foot is exactly twelve inches long. but I suppose that is of no consequence.)

    Working on models I find a millimeter is far too coarse where as a tenth of a millimeter is way too fine and doesn't even have a name. whereas my six inch scale is graduated into 1/64th of an inch which is the tolerances I work with.

    Now I know that the French came up with the metric system which for some reason they thought a meter was one ten millionth the distance of the equator from the North pole as measured through Paris as if that had any relevant significance and somehow managed to get it wrong by a whopping 0,2 MM any way! Two whole kilometers error; Ha! such is the folly and conceit of man; Well Frenchmen anyway.

    Fortunately I am equally confident with both systems of measurement and change readily between them both as a matter of convenience.

    Blackadder, you insufferable bore.

    The Razors Edge:

    I'm trying to walk the tightrope between the two most interesting Emperors I've yet seen taking bitz and bits from each and incorporating in my model.

    I've already departed from both in giving my 'head' a lot more play than either and it comes down to how tall this beastie will be.


    [url]http://i.imgur.com/eAtvxgy.jpg[/url]


    On either side of the head are two balconies that I feel give purpose to the garish ornamentation yet still retains the Gothic flavor. True to my word I am attempting to make the build and ornaments as easy as possible so those so inclined may follow along building their own Emperor Titan.

    [url]http://i.imgur.com/b1cbeJV.jpg[/url]


    We'll see how successful I am with these compromises.

    Side Galleries:

    On either side of the 'Head' there are these side galleries. I'm a bit disappointed in these but I shall probably leave them as they are because I'm tempted to put dual guns or lasers in the windows instead of my initial idea of stained glass.

    [url]http://i.imgur.com/rUGHKFW.jpg[/url]


    Once these galleries are surrounded by other detail, they'll blend in better.

    [url]http://i.imgur.com/G0L4vLV.jpg[/url]


    Still to come on these galleries are the ball turret gun mounts and lots of skulls and stylized eagles, but for now they will remain removable to ease amenability.

    [url]http://i.imgur.com/zh2NbZw.jpg[/url]


    The above image probably mimics the drawing best and I feel my solution to what is under the 'head' is better that the nondescript python-like cable conduits in the video I assume just put there to fill the void.

    [url]http://i.imgur.com/RDmYM4F.jpg[/url]


    Again a couple of Space Marines for scale.


    And a high angle and side view shot to round out last evenings work.

    [url]http://i.imgur.com/WLcCSQS.jpg[/url]


    Note the serendipity of the curved corbels which allow the head to swing side to side without interference by the galleries. Purely accidental I assure you as I'm not sure that the Emperor titans have that capability.

    As with the Thunderhawk, once I began to personalize this construct I've begun to warm to it's intrinsic majesty and ignore the obvious impracticality of the monstrosity.

    Wow, it's really impressive how the shape is becoming clearer with every addition. Majestic is the right word indeed. Especially on that last photo, you have this large, building like structure that's imposing by itself. And then the head in an articulated pose makes it clear that this thing is a walking behemoth that would dominate the skyline of any city it walks through.

    A Revelation:

    After butting my head against the wall for the past few days I came to the realization I've run out of ideas for the front of this beastie. I've tinkered with CoD panels and cut and pasted said panels in various positions and nothing looks right.

    [url]http://i.imgur.com/P5AOD9w.jpg[/url]


    Fortunately I have the rear elevation to fall back on, when in the doldrums work on something else, is my motto; too bad I quite forget it all too often.

    [url]http://i.imgur.com/1K0D9JX.jpg[/url]


    No sooner did I turn the beast around than I came up with a plan for the front but I'll save that for next week and concentrate on the back.
