I have actually been accustomed to not having the smell in my home for several years now and it is amazing to see how much I smell it when I am not at home even when I am not smoking....

Woot! 60 Pages.....

your continued support is valuable to me right now...


I have recently begun the process of ending a thirty year tabacco habit and haven't been doing well for about two weeks.....

I am back to the shop, however, with this to show, a glimpse of things to come.....





I am hoping to have all those standing from the hips down by Sunday.....


Wish me luck......

I'm hoping for some progress on those two reavers on the back shelf. Seriously though Max you're insane brother, incredible. At this rate you may eventually shame me into building a second warhound. You gonna field an all Titan Apoc army with those bad boys once they're done?

Those Reavers will actually see a lot of work next week....





But it starts with the beginning of three more....

I was crazy once....


The day I accepted the challenge on this mass build....


Now I am only slightly disturbed because I insist on finishing it.....

so....you not only started this ...huge project with a mass of titans to be totally built from the ground... no... you have to do this in a state of cold turkey...mate... we do you keep punishing yourself so hard...? ok...only joking... my mum and dad both used to smoke like chimneys... around 60 cigs a day was nothing special in my youth... so i can only encourage anyone to quite that very destructive habbit... but then i also have seen how often this is verrrry hard to see through... and like dave said... the obstacles never get less... if it was just me deciding the needs and deeds of man then i had banished tobacco a long time ago... but then another guy would forbid my meat ...or sugar... so... i guess we have to cope with tobacco for the sake of freedom...

as for your project...the scratchbuilding one...see it as your chance to get into the annals of scratchbuilding with this monsterous amount of work! you best us all but we look up to you for your endurance!!!

Cause I am a Glutton for punishment........

Cause if that is a typo then I am not sure what you mean....


And fairly sure I don't want to know....


LOL....

Cause I am a Glutton for punishment........

...well... whatever floats your boat so they say...

If so AWESOME! If not still AWESOME!

Not intentionally, but lets face it the real things look that way too. It is just the stage of the build they are in......

Oh I realised I was just looking at that update picture wrong...
Shows how tired I was when I posted that.

There were two sets of legs lined up one behind the other and I thought they were somehow joined, it looked like looked like a Warhound on all fours.

Silly me...
But hey you could do something out like that. *hint* an AT-AT War hound would be really cool IMO.

actually a four legged titan would be something new... heck for that matter a defiler made by you max would be something cool too^^

Ok, so work continues. Four more sets of legs together ready for riveting and tomorrow the toes and feet will be together and I may stand two or more of them up. the goal is to have 6 standing from the hips down by Sunday but I am shooting for more.....

I think that is more due to the utter derpitude of the "original" GW design more than any efforts of your own. (replicate something that looks... Derpy, and it will look derpy...) If the turret/torso thing was more centrally located (kinda like a true 4 legged dread) it would look far less... Odd...

Agreed. I think I will redesign it and see what can be done about that.....


Oh, please refrain from using any MLP references,ok? I deal with them all day from my 16 yr old son......

It does kind of look like a mouse though ………………

Do you use your own templates Max (I am sure you have been asked this several times before ) I just want a set of titan plans to build the basic shape I have an idea

Just wondered if you could help out

hey max... love to see your big production line...!

as for the defiler... the thing is... you started that way back then... you have grown...matured...got way better than that... if you started all over it would look way different... i am assured of that!...

Awwwww! What a cute mouse!

Yes, i have my own templates. No I won't share them. You want to torture yourself with a build like this, go ahead. But it was hard for me and I see no reason it shouldn' tbe hard for you... LOL


Thanks, Vik. Thats a very good point fresh perspective + newly found skills and techniques= a relook at the defiler later....


Four legged Titan? HMMMMMMMMM........ Gears are turning.....

I can help with any specific questions, though LDD. Ask away.....

for all those that are interested... yahoo groups...BWC archive... they have lots of te4mplates there... or... make up your own ones... much more fullfilling that way too...

and max... i knew you would join my view on that

Well that was a kick in the balls after the day I am having it is no wonder, I only want them for the general shape but hey ho no prob I will look around for something similar then.

Thanks for the loan to pick your brain, might need that later then.

is it just me who cant see the pics??

nope... i saw them earlier but now they are all gone...

ok good.. for i second i thought my eyes*(correction.. EYE) are evil

I think Max's photobucket crapped out or something...

so it seems...

Yeah, I had to move some stuff. I will fix it tomorrow. Honestly they weren't anything new.....

AHA!!
