fitted the supprots for gun arma and started to encase, also did'nt like the plain look to the joint ends on legs, so used some milk carton tops, cast some mechanicus symbols and added handmade rivets and like the end result much better, got a lot more tidying up on the leg and will be making some leg greaves, thanks for looking

did'nt really sit down and plan it, a lot of it is in my head and made up as i go along, i do have a general idea of how it is going to look, i had seen several on various websites etc, only seen a coupke that where detailed enough for my liking and had always wanted to build one but with lots of detail, i had started building the emperors palace a coupe years back but gave up when i realised how big it was going to be so used all the building parts off that plus picking more on the cheap from ebay and cleaning up, also bought the guns that i am going to usefrom ebay, thanks for comments

Been quietly following on from the get go (love the big scratchbuilds people do). Your work is top class and you have a good pace going. Keep up the good work as I want to see a finished Titan.

Out of curiosity are you gunning for it to be in scale to a 40k model?
