yeah I did a pre-order and managed to 'f' it up somehow and ended up ordering $14 thousand dollars worth of FW Warlords.. fortunately I was able to cancel the order but it made for a very intense couple of days.........

Auto Focus Failure

There is something wrong with my camera's auto focus

But these two images convey the gist of the subject at hand namely the priming of the Gantry so with another camera later on I shall be presenting the cranes and paraphernalia requisite for a heavy equipment maintenance area.

Right now with the overall gantry primed gray I think it shows off Luteus in a fine setting for display purposes

Providing of course you have oodles of empty space in your "Man Cave"....Ha!

I really want to see this gantry completed. If you put half the effort into it that you put into the Titan, we're going to see a diorama that could fit in a museum.

U R too kind; I really just want to show my signature piece off to it's best advantage. I've never been 'in love' with such a model before. Even 'Lucie' my Warhound did not evoke such feelings but this thing is so big that I am overwhelmed by it's presence. It's a pity that Dave Smith never got back to me that I could thank him for the inspiration because after all it was his titan that promulgated Luteus Vexant.

How apropos that you spent time in 'flagrante delicto' with your significant other reliving my panic at the thought of putting myself into bankruptcy over 7 seven (Count'em) FW Warlord Titans when I could ill afford even one!

Fortunately FW took pity on me and cancelled my erroneous order yet Paypal decimated my checking acct for two days before I could straighten out the mess.

I lost countless years of my life in anxiety before I set the situation straight. ( Not so "Ha! this time.) E.B.

Wow, that sounds like a hefty nightmare.

The display/storage is coming along nicely. I imagine some maintenance cherry pickers would kick it up a notch.

Wow, that is a bit more than an oops...

On the bright side, after selling your house to afford $14,000 worth of titans, you could build a new house out of that huge pile of resin.

Back To the Warlord:

While I am designing the T'hawk cockpit interior I ran across my Tech priests for the Warlord. I'd forgotten I made these to go in the upper gallery of the Warlord interior in the altar area.

http://i.imgur.com/x6jTfb8.jpg



Since then I made a few priest consoles and added a FW production Tech Enginseer.

The problem with you Blackadder is, "You can't paint!"

Four Images of A Warlord:

My new toy, a mini Ipad has become my favorite camera; at least for desktop photos. The trouble is in transferring to my PC. because the Apple doesn't like my PC for some reason and keeps asking if I want to allow access. Life is HARD!

Anyway, four images of the new interior lights of the cockpit. and they're all pretty much the same but what the hey, I'll post them all.

http://i.imgur.com/U12KntO.jpg


What irritates me is I can see the crew in the cockpit but the camera doesn't.

http://i.imgur.com/PVwYxYp.jpg


I like the battle scars in this closeup

http://i.imgur.com/kRaAzfL.jpg


I like this low angle view because it shows the upper engineering deck through the blast doors. which normally can't be seen with the chest armour in place.

Hopelessly Outclassed

I'm Afraid my Warlord will be hopelessly outclassed by this new addition to my Titan Stable which I project to be half again taller than the Warlord. About 40 inches tall or one Meter if you are into an inhumane system of measurement.

My new Workshop arrangement is better able to display my creations as I build which makes for a more inspiring atmosphere.

Spur me along as it were.

Sitting at the computer having these two staring down at me is a bit disconcerting. Almost accusatory in their gaze seeming to say, Get busy and finish this up.

Resting On One's Laurels:

Before I get too smug and self-satisfied I just repaired the interior of my Warlord. and I was surprised at the lengths my OCD drove me three or so years ago. As I contemplate doing an interior for my Emperor Titan I thought I'd refresh myself on my previous construction.

Over the years the glue had lost it's grip on the aluminum impregnated wall coatings I used for much of this model inside and out and pieces were rattling around inside. I found some two decks down in the Engineering bay.

Anyway once all put together I fired up the interior lighting (surprisingly it all functioned) and took these images so I don't have to disassemble it again until when and if I decide to upgrade the paint.

So here's five pictures of the Command deck and Tech Priest balcony replete with Altar to the Machine God, Omnissiah.

https://i.imgur.com/5UBXtI5.jpg


Starting with the egress to the Command deck through the entry port.

https://i.imgur.com/HPVuC9K.jpg


I don't know if I've posted these or not other than in the construction phase. Most certainly not on Facebook or any of the new forums I frequent.

and the right Gallery.......

I've gotta straighten that railing.............

Never mind the railing Blackadder; What about that bloody great hole in the deck?
