So, completed some of the cabling on legs/weapon. The most important aspect at this stage is keeping every part removable, for transport.

Also, the guns have to be interchangeable, so any cabling is linked to the gun arm itself.

I will have different coloured liquids in each cable as it's painted.

Added bonus of being de-mountable is the poseable aspect :)

It looks awesome and omg hoooomongous!
from a constructive critisisum your rivets are huge I would prefer to make them much smaller tho that does mean cutting strip/rod sytrene.
If you have a signwriter type shop in your area or a modelmaking studio ask if they have a laser cutter they should be able to make (2.5mm-3mm wide I would sugest) hex nuts for you they would probably charge an hourly rate for laser cutter time or you could email a request like this to a sign maker/modelmaking company i think £50 for half a day is average and you'd have to pay for the sheet of material but,,, tiny bolts with holes in the middle for plastic rod (1mm), I used to work in a modelmaking studio and did this for my converted battlewagon and its death roller and they look awesome.

You must understand that for an ork a day that starts off killing something with your bare hands, and ends with those same hands being chopped off in battle, is a good one.

Dreadnote is correct. The printer Cartrige is one from a Mega-Printer @ work.

Lol.

I had a serious accident with the Emporer about 20 mins ago. the Head fell off, and shattererd the rear portion,
a large fragment was chipped off the front torso amour..and some Cabling snapped.

It did force me to do the work on the head I had been putting off.

Word to the wise.. Bundaberg Rum+Minatures(even BIG ones) does not mix well.

Pics as I recover my sanity...

Had a shocker of a night last Friday. Titans head fell off post I had sticking out of Torso...rear of it shattered..

So. I had previously just lazily drilled a random hole in the rear-very unstable. This nightmare was me being forced to do more work on helm.

And lights. Every room in feet is going to have them - 6 (3 x 2 )

Lights in Head - 1

Lights in Rear Chapel - 1 (at least)

Lights in Rooftop citadel- 6 (at least)

14, at the minimum. Crikey.
