Thanks guys.

@ OMN, Thanks, the stain was purchased in a little local craft shop, was amongst the card making gear.Actually has a kinda mesh as a dispenser. Many different colours, was £3.95 for 30ml which is not bad, suspect since it is water soluble I will thin it down most of the time.
@ Graven, Thank you sir.

OK here goes, a little bit more done...


Finished the thigh armour plating.

Been puzzling about the neck joint, then had a spark, iron resin and big ass magnets...so...
The head, (main parts by hk1x1).

Rear plate for the head, made using a pill bottle lid.

And together..

It does mean the neck is a bit longer than regulation, but the advantages will be clear.

So then a quick mould of a semi-sphere, and some resin with iron powder in it.



This of course means the head is very posable...


Well thoughts appreciated, is the neck too long?

Thanks for looking, and please feel free to comment.

It's definitely noticeable, but not bad. Could you use a smaller sphere where it would inset more in your collar?

Wow, that is an amazing scratch build you have going on there. Way beyond anything I've ever attempted.

Thank you all, very much appreciated.

@ Theo, maybe look into it. Thanks bud.
@ Maniac, Thanks bud, much appreciated, but have to say you could do this honest.

In the mean time, if you ever fancied any of my work, check this out...

Would like to get some cash off it, but more interested in people having fun and my stuff getting used.

Also bear in mind, if anyone wants this monster when I am done scream about it, especially if you want it tailored to your needs at all.

Thanks for looking.

@cam! I'm absolutely LOVING this build! Amazing work!

btw, was it YOU who needed the info from the Forge World index book? I cant remember

That is amazing dude

Great detail work, and good use of your metal-infused resin trick.

The resin dome could be a bit more "inserted" (dyslexia preventing a better word) into the head's neck.
The length doesn't worry me as much as seeing too much of the dome. Maybe a wider ring at the back of the head's neck just to hide a little more of it...?

Recessed, maybe? It is a bit too prominent, especially since it will be difficult to keep paint on it... the whole moving part thing.

Man, this is impressive work.

Some great work here Cam, very impressive.

Thanks everyone.

@ Dave, Thanks sir, and nope, did see that somewhere!!
@ Joe, thanks bud.
@ DrH, Agreed and thinking about it, have made some alterations, sorry bit too tired at mo, pics soonest.
@ Red, Thank you sir.
@ Yorkright, Thanks bud.

So no pics again, sorry, what is going on? Have done some work but been slow. Work and life.

However, I do now have a home for this beasty, and it will have a name..The "Iustus Indignatio" , (Righteous Indignation)

Will be painted in Legio Atarus colours, and I think I will give it several different load outs, been requested to make a small-scale sonic weapon (like the ordinatus) and a large scale Irradiation-engine type weapon like on myrmidon destructors? I have a couple pics for reference.

Well thanks for looking, back in a bit with some pics.

Awesome work on the titan thus far... a lot of work done, and plenty of work to go... looking forward to seeing it as it progresses!

Nice puppy! Awesome job, and your working speed,

We'll try to properly catch p soon!

Warhound is looking amazing. An impressive feat of scratch building!

EDC

Hot damn, I somehow missed this blog (I follow your ork blog). Glad Klaus mentioned the warhound build, now I get to check out some cool imperial stuff.

Thank you all,

@ Whalemusic, welcome to the mad house.

OK I shortened the neck a bit...(about 8-10mm)



Made a new plate for it, as damaged the other getting the thing off.



Did some general copy work on the second leg...




And filled a little of the underneath of the shoulder..


You looking at me!!!


Not a lot really, hoping to get some time in, thanks for looking, and any ideas and critique is most welcome.

There are simply no words as to how awesome this is.

Only critique is the build isn't fast enough... I want MOAR !!!!!!

You might not think it's a lot, but it is all progress and gets you that much closer to the finish line.

New neckline looks much better, I think the extra effort will really pay off.

the new plate you made looks very good...the fact that it is not symmetrical somehow makes it look way more realistic...? dunno why but tat´s my feeling for that piece...

i bet you will feel a rush of progress once you have the thigh guards and the chin guards all in place... that gives a more finished look in a mere moment...

also... have you thought about how you will paint that monster...is the build still able to be taken apart?... otherwise this will be a really pain in the rear to get to all these hidden parts and places......but we have faith^^

Loving the Build dude

It really is super impressive to have gotten this far, I've seen home builds start off well, but fail around the groin area, so seeing him all the way to the head is exceptional!

Holy heck! Scratch built warhound? Wow.

Inspiring. Ridiculous. Keep it up

Neck looks much improved. Whole thing remains very impressive.

Next photo, include something like a ruler or yardstick so we can see how tall it really is.

Please. I forgot to say please.

Thank you all so much for the words, they mean more than I can say.

Not feeling up to much in the way of words at mo, so here are some pics, starting with one for you Red, that's 11" at the shoulder.







Oh and in a recent White Dwarf, this is part of one of the big battle scene pictures, well it has got my juices flowing, so maybe look into this next, though I have other things I should do. Don't think there is a model out for it currently, but could be wrong.


Well thanks for looking, and as always any words are appreciated.

Cam finally let me look. It's hard to find words honestly... so let me start with this.

The board arrived today. The half I expected... and the half I didn't. I was totally blown away.





I'm overwhelmed Cam. Thank you!

:O that's mighty fine

Cam the board you sent Gitz was amazing. The Warhound is looking sharp, I knew you would not disappoint by putting all the little detail work that makes a model go from cool, to awesome.

that's so much bigger than I thought it would be...or your smaller....

Warhound is looking sick!

That pic is ol Mortty, who will be the next primarch released along the same lines as Magnus.

she's coming along beautifully cam the level of detail is pretty amazing, I don't even think the original kit had that much detail.

My favourite part so far is the little grills on those vents, they are such a pain in the to make and yours are not half melted un-even mess like the last time I tried them.
