This is the Reaver Titan that I started about three weeks ago. I worked overtime on him (was able to put in probably 6-8 hours of modeling/painting a day for a straight two weeks due to work stuff being weird)

The knee pad reads Deus Bellum, which of course means God of War...the inscriptions on the top shell read "let he who desires peace prepare for war" and "woe to the enemies of man"

This thing was an absolute joy...I've made a conscious decision to leave off the connector hoses from the body to the weapons as they are magnetized. The entire thing is supported with about five feet of pinning rods and two part epoxy. super glue was used for more fiddly bits...the red seen is a technique in which I use createx transparent black paint on the edges of pieces, then I hit it with minitaire regal red, followed by nebula red...it gives a nice smooth gradient of color. The caution stripes are the old tape method and the yellow used is Minitaire mustard gas.

The hand painting is all done with GW colors. The vast majority of the time spent with this model is pinning and planning. If you don't have a dremel you shouldn't bother as you'll drive yourself totally crazy.

There's probably a total of around 150-200 hours of work in this.

Great stuff, and the group shot is cool too. It's a bad day to be a heretic.
