I expected the Forge World resin one and did a double-take when I loaded up the first image.  That is some phenomenal plasticard work.  I'd ask for a how-to, but with a project like this, I guess it would amount to "cut up plasticard until you have a Warhound."  Is that a WIP Thunderbolt in your gallery, too?

Seriously, just amazing.

By the gods of plasticard...

Amazing job man. Expect to get lots of comments like this ^_-...Seriously some of the cleanest best looking scratch building I've seen.

Paint scheme thoughts?

That looks really great can't wait to see it painted

Dude! I don't suppose you would put up step by step instructions for that, lol

If you don't mind me asking which plans did you use? There are a ton of different ones floating about on the net and yours is the best I've seen.

Outstanding. I fixed you pic links:

Mindblowingly awesome!

 

Good God. That might actually violate copyright, be careful who you show it to.

:: how does building your own for yourself violate copyright...?

It was just a joke .

Well, it was mostly meant to be a compliment. But it was also just a joke.

If it's just a joke and mostly a compliment I don't know what's left. But it's a sweet looking titan. I love the work done on the legs.

So, wait, I've been dying to ask this for forever. WHERE CAN YOU GET PLASTICARD IN AMERICA? And whatis it called here so I can ask for it? A brand name, a link, anything, please!!!

Most train and model shops will have a display of it.

Heheh...Stupid interwebs not giving clarity of intent ^_-.

Evergreen Scale Models also makes it. I like buying from them for odd shapes, but for sheets...

Just about any industrial plastics supplier should sell sheet styrene. The one close to me has it in .040, .060, and .080 thicknesses. You may have to buy it in a 4'x4' or 4'x8' sheet, but it works out waaaaay cheaper over time than buying 6"x12" hobbypacks.



Oh, and to the OP: that's great work! :thumbs up:

Awesome job! Very true to form...but out of curiousity, for the time involved in building it, would it have been more efficient dollar-per hour wise (through working a job) to just buy the forgeworld one? lol

Fantastic Titan, Widgren.
Lots of excellent stuff in your Photobucket - even some Adeptus Arbites.
Classy.

thank you guys! ive used LAKCOFBETTERNAMEs templates that are avliable in the yahoo-group BWC-archive. join and enjoy! these templates are VARY well constructed and makeing one of these is a cakwalk. it takes som time but it is great fun so try it out!

ive used 0,75mm plasiccard. the reason i use that thin material is that the proportions doesnt get scrwed up because of its thickness.

the thunderbolt tamplates are there in BWC too.

elusive:
thanks, i cant seem to do that right, ever!

grey death: i think it will be red with a yellow/black striped leg. some heraldry and a bit of sourclighting.

and a lot of mud! filth and flakeing will be present of course

I am beginning one of these myself and am curious: What did you use to make your knee joints? It looks different than other knee joints I've seen. I'm also guessing it makes for a more stable joint due the triangular cross section of the bits...

thanks!
Jay

very nice work Widgren - thanks for sharing & proving such things can be done.
Can't wait to see it painted - R you gonna use an airbrush?
Thanks for info on the source too and for Dsquared's tip on getting big sheets - i'm forever dipping in & out of modeling projects and losing bits & pieces (esp bits left over from A4 plasticard sheets) buying more then finding the missing ones the day after - losing a 8x4 sheet would be difficult even for me!

Kyoto-

Once again my love for you grows.....

It's Alive...It's ALIVE!!!!

Thread necro is not our friend people. Try PM's if you have questions about how someone did something.

On another note though: Was this ever painted Widgren?

What size did the plasticcard have?

How much cost it?

BTW Great Titan!!!!

All of the above
also, I love the plasma destructor, much better than the FW one, keep up the good work.
also, OMG threadcromancy, Necronlord2

Man with so many people doing amazing work like this i feel like I need to do something!
