Well it has been suggested that I should do my Titan in it own thread, so here it is.

This will be a slow and stead progress so I can can continue paint my other models while trying to complete this titanic project.

I have just spent the last 2 hour cleaning the bloody thing:

Unclean titan:


Bucket of hot water with vinegar/fairy liquid and washing powder:


After 2 hours my hand are stinging and pruned:


But at least I have a pile of I hope clean resin:




:lol:

I will be placing the odd titan pic in my main log and other pic in here to tempt you across to each thread

WOW!...i'm amazed you spelt the title correctly! :P

soz Andy, jk. anyways, looks great so far, good start, and don't be disheartened about the cleaning because it'll be better in the long run :)

SC

Good luck, hopefully you finish yours alot quicker then i did.

looks like fun...

i wonder if i could buy a mail order bride and just have her clean resin for me...might be worth looking into me thinks hmmmm

I see its another mars pattern titan we have here, tell me why doesnt anyone buy the other patterns these days? they have more weapon options?

anyway cant wait for more pics!

I have a Mars pattern coz I like more than the other 2 and just by chance it comes with the weapons choices I wanted.

Well the construction begind I have build one foot minus pistons:

YAY!! I am glad that your building this finally!

Cheers mate.

Well my titan has 2 feet he can dance if only he had legs:

Nice! They're looking great! :D

Did yours have all the foot parts?

Yes it came with all foot parts just lacked a few bit from the top but didn't to start until all was here

well i guess you'll just have to make him some legs then!

good looking feet mate, also nice looking blood angel there...

Is it wrong to compliment a person you do not know on the appearance of his/her feet?
If not I like your feet.

On a personal note, can I see your legs, waist, torso and sodding big guns next? Pretty please?

well th elegs are ready for primig but not stuck the leg being proped up my a vallijo ain't even done:)

"She's got legs!"

Looks like a wonderful nightmare to assemble.

-scrubout

Yes Scrubout this is a bitch to build but so far only the feet are toatlly glued:

theres how far I have got:








they are only pinned together and not glued

Wow Cap'n, I never realized how sexy the interior of those kits really are...ya gonna paint it?

Good luck in any case with the assembly.

-scrubout

looking good!
how many pins are there in it atm?

there is currenlty 50 ish pins in it which will grow once I do the guns and carapace which are the only things left to do as I have done the head:





I will also pin the legs/ hips / body and head. I see in the range of 100 pins by the time I am finished

Looking really good Wolverine, be great to see you pick out the detail!

Are you going to paint the inside, or just keep it closed and not bother?

did your mix of vinegar water and washing powder work mate?

did your mix of vinegar water and washing powder work mate?

Well it seems to work have not had problems with spray sticking

Wow Cap'n, I never realized how sexy the interior of those kits really are...ya gonna paint it?

Good luck in any case with the assembly.

-scrubout

Are you going to paint the inside, or just keep it closed and not bother?

Yep I am gonna paint the inside there is no way I am spending £280 on a model and not paint it all :)

Looking really good Wolverine, be great to see you pick out the detail!


Well jase this is a big project and not evryone has seen the tita so I am giving them all they need.

Looking good wolfie ,Paint the inside it would be a shame not to ;)

I promised you Deadley and everyone reading I am not gonna spend £280 and not paint the insides.

I don't want to criticize Wolverine's buy or work, but as these are the clearest pictures of the interior I've seen, I must say that the interior, although it seems detailed enough, is not what I expected. The floor seems a little out of place, like the moulds were made by plasticard plates, piled up one upon the other. It seems like the plasticard was a little bit curved on the top of it, making the deck level to look like it's going to burst. Again I say that this might look like this from the pictures and the lights, and it might not be the case.

An other thing that I found cheap enough, is the use of the rhino chassis door, on the back of the servitors and the machine god's chapel. I mean, ok about the STCs and stuff, but it's a Titan! I mean if HAS to have a different door.

Anyway, these are my thoughts, because Cpt. said about the 280 pound price. Again, I meant no offence to him or his choice.

No offence taken Rose each to his own opinions.

Not sure what you mean about plasticard floors? The Titan is old pinned together and not stuck that maybe cuasing this distortion your talking about also my camera skills and lighting ain't the best.

It is a really nice model in RL well worth the £280 but each to his own as I said.

By all means, I am not jealus (well, a little bit :P). Who wouldn't want to own one o'those things, or be able to make them? So, to the point.

As you can see at the picture below, where the red lines are drawn, the floor at those corners seems like it's lifted somehow, like it's a plasticard sheet, cutted and fitted on top of a surface that it's not flat, but curved. The horizontal red line, indicated how I see it, how my eye sees the curve. I told you again, maybe I am mistaken, but that's how I see it. I will have a Thunderhawk at my home the next few days, and I'll see firsthand the detailing on cast resin models.

That is just a point in which two parts meet, I can say there is no curve there must just be the light and also you won't see that when it is open because there is a door to go there, right over that spot.


Bloom I took no offence you are just saying what you saw.

heres another picture of the inside of a warhound:

http://gamesday.us.games-workshop.com/Game...ndemon/cat9.htm

I see what you mean, however it may just be a flaw in the modelling or be a deliberate curve. If you look at the steps infront/behind they have "nonslip" metal and metal edge details on their lip. The curved step may well have been modelled as old stone, like in a really old church where the centre of the step will gradually wear down over time. Titans are ancient after all. Then again I might just be talking bollocks!

Wolvie, are you going to run some wip pinning and glueing photos, to give some of us thinking about large resin models an idea as to how much work is required. I have never built anyhting as large and would like advice on pin length/diameter and what exactly you pin compared to what you just super glue. Give me an inch and I will want a full nautical mile!

I can't wait to see it all done and primed for painting, any thoughts on what scheme it will be decorated in? Are you a brush man or do you use airbrush for large models?

A nice leopard skin effect, with some pink dangling dice in the cockpit, a sticker "wayne 4 debbie" in the window would set it off nicely! Don't forget the plasma screen and xbox 360 in the boot, oh wait, this isn't pimp my titan now is it? :rolleyes:

I promise you it ain't curved and you won't see it.

Gonzo I will take a few pics of the pins I have done so far.

But how and where to pin is all down to experince.

Well here are a few pic some with red circles indicating where I have put pins also please remember that thay are not stuck together and there will be green stuffing to do to certain joins;

























also the feet and legs got a pin at each joint. (Just noticed red circles are not showing up so i will try a agin

lets try that again:

Heres for the next titilating installment:




Well the legs are basically stuck together expect for pistons. was gonna paint in sections e.g. feet legs etc etc but I decided to paint in the bottm half head, front half of main body, back half of main body and fianlly weapons.

Question?!

Are those blood angels moving on their own?

I think you're making me want to buy a titan...damn you...

DK

Looks like a walking 'Jonny Five' without the head! :P

What can I say but ... Awesome! I want one! :D

MM

Great stuff, keep it coming, i'm sure this will help alot of us who are planning on getting titan's when it come's to building ours.

James

Man I can not wait to get my hands on some Forgeworld Titan goodness! :)

I hope this does help you guys out coz is a bastard of a mini to put together, so when are you gonna get one Spiky / Astador?


Well the whole thing is now at the point to get a coat of undercoat the body is ready although not stuck together as I want to get a good coat on all the part in all the nocks and cranies:



I have magnetised the head carapace and the main body carapace so they don't slip off:









Heres pic of te feet with the pistons in:



And finally the cabling on the guns and head. These were a right bitch to do so patience is important that this point:






One tip to those out there planning a titan trip like you deadley, is patience, ahead planning and take your time.

I will be getting to the point where I need to add colour to the undercoat but what colours I am liking the grey I have been doing on my DK tanks and was thinking about that gray with gold trims, but do peeps think? any ideas?
