Ok, here is the second interior piece. This magnifyer is amazing! I feel like I am painting with sidewalk chalk, but it is still much easier then without it. Also, my first shot with the new light. Any thoughts?

eech: just realized that screen below the servitor is positively disgusting. Ill clean that up asap! I used pieces from the empire men-at-arms set, leadbelchers, and upgrade pieces for the titan

Ohhh yeah! the light really makes a difference! I can see the absolutely gorgeousness of the bronzes and golds! The green you used is absolutely the perfect shade too.

That looks nice, Maybe you might want to invest in a small box with white paper so you can picture outside in bright lights, or a daylight bulb or two.

Ok, with work being the way it is, and preparing for an epic Christmas vacation, I have had precious time to work on Hibernicus. I truely am sorry for the lack of updates; if I had anything to report, I would. Anyway, heres the (minor) work I have been able to get done.

With the work on the legs (the pins came out of the hip joints, and I had to reglue it) it still seems a little tipsy. I feel that it will improve once I build a base to magnetize the model to (yeah I want to magnetize the base so I can interchange them if I build anything cooler)

I also have my eye on a mars pattern warhound that my housemate hasn't built yet (its been almost a year). Maybe I'll be able to get that cheaply....

Epic sauce!

with a side of cool beans

im thinking, why not spend a lil extra and get a chaos landraider underneith that sexy titans feet? :3 it could be squeezing goo out of the cracks and folds in the crushed tank just a thought

I could definitely use a chaos land raider, although due to the placement of the toes on the foot it would make it more difficult (the side toes are curled downwards, leaving the space of a transport vehicle underneath). I suppose I could rearrange it so a LR could fit. At the moment, I am looking at ebay and other online sites for any chaos vehicle. If I find a defiler, rhino, land raider, or even a chimera at a cheap price I'll snap it up. Since I want to magnetize the feet to the base, I can always create a second base later with a different vehicle, and use the first one as scenery in smaller scale games.

I spent most of the night working on the head of the titan. Got one light completely in, although the LED's are burning out if I poke them the wrong way. 2 more lights to go!!! Also magnetized the head to the torso with rare earth magnets+++++++++++++++++

Thanks Hazzer.

++++I have two weeks to get as much done on this sucker as possible: I leave for Christmas vacation on the 15, and won't be able to work on Hibernicus until the New Year...Better get cracking!++++++

GOGO Power rangers!

Damnit.. Wrong everytime..

GOGO work your ass off!!

Ok, heres an update. Finished the head armor, and found these little connectors that might be useful. Unfortunately I cut myself rather badly while cutting the connectors apart, so I am at a momentary standstill

+++note: All I have left to do is weather the exterior, paint the display panel in the cockpit, and build a base for this guy. As I need a tank to build the base and I am confused for the lighting, there might not be many updates on this blog until the new year: got to wait to see what armor I get for Christmas!+++

Nice stuff! like to see what you light up!

Oh, I forgot to mention that my new side projects now get a forum of their own! I could use the input, so head on over:

(sorry I dont know how to hyperlink)

Awsome! Those connectors are called MOLEX connectors btw

What are they for

Hard drives, cd roms, fans of a bygone era.

I see

yeah, this 4-to-4 connector was about 12 bucks (CDN) and I got it at the local Source store

You can also get 2-to-2 connectors, but theyre usually only at specialty computer stores

Aww don't buy them! A power supply from a dead pc will yield half a dozen of those things!

12 bucks?! xD glad i dont live over there, ive gotten some for £1.52 over in ye ol' england ;D but dsteingass is right you could save a lot of money using a dead pc

Sorry to hear about the personal injury, but blood, sweat and tears all go into any good project!

Hey guys back from my vacation. Updates on both my blogs after my birthday on Tuesday!

Happy birthday!

thanks for the birthday wishes! Got another box of vostroyan and a tau skyray for playing, and a defilier and the honoured imperium scenery for the base of the reaver! Painted some models over the holidays (hibernicus didnt fit in my carry-on). Christmas, engagement and a birthday over the course of a week have kind of worn me out, but now another deadline looms: Hibernicus has been requested for battle again at the end of the month, so retrofitting (lights and base) must be complete by then for her to march!

Hmm nice head!Looks good man keep it up!

Happy birthday! - almost coincidentally - it's my birthday on Wednesday!

Well, Happy Birthday to you then!!!

Yes Happy Birfday! You too monkeyh!
