Oh, we're going IMPERIAL imperial titan. Looking cool!

Extra Epic!!!

Yeah, Painting the whole structure with Flat Black Primer was quite a chore.



Not being ambidexterous I wore out my right index finger in the hours it took to completely cover the surface areas. Twice in fact as there were areas that needed a second coat.



This is not counting the areas that needed to be masked off that didn't require the Flat Black but required Flat Grey or Gold or Gloss Red. 



There are about 100 subassembies that needed to be painted seperately also.

Its is getting there Adder. Great job mate.

Absolutely immense Blackadder! I feel your pain with the spray can, it often triggers my RSI so I can imagine the pain of spraying an Imperator! It certainly looks worth the pain and must’ve been very satisfying to see the varied materials come together as one with the paint. 8 years since the first post, but what a journey it’s been and more to come . Thank you for sharing!

OMG; so many parts!!!

I'm hoping I can remember where all the parts go.

Wow. Every time I see this thread, just... wow. Ave to you, you magnificent maniac

In my mind it was AT scale... I had no idea that it was going to be like this.... amazing!

The first thing I modeled for this Titan was the helmet/cockpit.

Here it is seven years later and I finally worked up the courage to finally paint it...

I love the black and gold, very art deco!

Looking fantastic! Great to see some paint on this mighty project.

Who knew I'd rediscover an art style 100 years late (purely unintentional believe me.)

Thanks for pointing that out.

I think the Black & gold is perfect for this high gothic look. Reminds me of the classic Epic! game.

I think the black and gold work really well,,

Fantastic! The paint really brings it to life

Very very nice

How big is the total size of The titan?

Amazing work Mr Adder !! Always a plasure watching your projects in the making

Thanks for all the replies.

Depending on How I finish off the corner bastions; it will be 57 inches (144.78 centimeters) guns and lasers to 63 inches (160.02 centimeters) with conical towers.

These parts will be interchangeable.



Question; Does anyone know what happened to the 40K forum "Warseer"

Adder,

It just closed, no warning, no comments, no explanation and I noticed a month so ago they were still taking guild payments which I have now canceled. Maybe Captain Brown knows some more.

I've decided to assemble this Titan to see where I am regarding painting.

I've already run into problems with the greaves as I painted over the penciled assembly remarks. Ha!

The images below show the gold clad statuary which I may or not use in the final construction.

Either way I'll make the removable as a option during display.

Obligatory "holy crap that's cool" comment. Amazing work as always, Blackadder.

Oh wow, interesting. Sad. I'm always impressed Dakka has stuck around.
