would anyone be willing to build me a MK1, 2, and 3 warlord titan, an emperor and warmonger titan, leviathan, and captiol imperialis preferably in such a way it could be cast up to be constantly remade for personal use?

I have no idea what you are talking about, you mean you want to be able to interchange parts between all of them?

no, more or less cast up the parts for them to make more of them to avoid paying someone multiple times for titans and super heavies

I know Damien Garcia has designed a titan for someone as a commission.

Ah, I was making the assumption you weren't asking for something /really/ illegal on a public forum XD

actually casting is not illegal as long as you DO NOT resell the casted items, even GW cannot touch you as long as you abide by that rule

Casting models is pretty hard unless you make some budget special tools. I made a pressure pot out of a 5 gallon bucket and a compressor and in reverse its a vacuum chamber. Both are pretty necessary to cast your own models.

That said, do you want casts of the parts as well? Most of the titans I've seen built cast a part in a batch and then assemble it on to the machine, doing each step along the way. Sometimes using pretty exotic custom plates and such.

So are you wanting titans that can all come apart and then you make a cast of each individual part, up to 100+ per titan to cast yourself, or are you looking for someone to make these titans, and also provide high quality silicone molds and a lego builders manual?

Given that the issue of casting has popped up and been hashed to death on numerous occasions, I'm gonna ask people to end that line of discussion.

If you want to get in touch with the OP, please take it to PM.

more or less looking for someone to produce the original so i can cast it up, i have MUCH experience with this having done major tanks for the marines as well as their armor very successfully

ninjaed by a mod, so drop the subject of the C word

I count 7 big models. Thats 350 molds if they each take 50 molds to replicate each individual piece. Plus the cost of the silicone to do this, the commissioned artist's time, resin to cast the actual models (each peice mailed unglued so you may recast it if one of the 350 molds has a line you don't like.)

As for legality, the models would not be replications of any GW or other product line. These would have to be approximations different enough to not get anyone in some litigation. If there was for example a rhino door leading to the cockpit, I could only tell you to buy a lot of rhino doors and put them there in step 100 of the builders guide. But if I fabicate special "Onrhi" (Thats an anagram for rhino, folks, but legal. See "Marbo") doors that are wholly different, though similar, THAT would be ok.

That all said, Thats a huge project. Requiring materials like plexiglass and ways to cut it. Pressure pots and vacuum chambers. A LOT of silicone for the molds. Hours and Hours of coordinating cure times. All this not even accounting figuring out how to make it both different enough to be legal, and the same enough so that you don't end up paying for it because its not what you wanted.

I'll show you pics of my garage and the stuff I've built if you give me a reason to. But damn. Thats at least a months worth of work for a few guys, working solid. Call me up on skype or google talk, I'll discuss it with you if you're just crazy rich and really want this done.

Seriously, Doomthumbs, take it to PM.

why crazy rich? i just need the orginal model with little to no interior on it, with the exception of captiol imperialis

This is ALWAYS the artist's preference.
Artists are allowed to be a little scary nuts and get their support by crazy rich people. Patrons, I call them. Van Gogh cut off his ear man.
As a creepy little present to his (also crazy) girlfriend.

Really, I just hope that you can pay. Got this whole being American and not doing free work thing going on. PM me about costs and what you want done.

will do. while i'm on the subject anyone know how to make video games (and happens to have PS3, PS2 and xbox 360 encoding tools)? and anyone know how to produce airsoft weapons?... these are more or less side things i'd like to start up

At this point, those are beyond the scope of the Swap Shop and Dakka, I really suggest you look at other venues for that.


Final Mod note: Discussion here is getting off topic and I have asked more than once for you guys to take it to PM.

This is not a topic suitable for the swap shop. TyraelVladinhurst and Doomthumbs, as has been requested already, a discussion of this nature needs to happen in either

1) Another section of the forum (such as painting & modelling)
2) Via PM

Discussions about how to copy video games doesn't belong anywhere on this forum.

Locking...
