Hello,

A colleague of mine has been busy...
3' 4" of Adeptus Mechanus loveliness....







And finally the money shot..



And he's going to paint it nmm style..

Enjoys!

Can't wait to see it with some paint on it...

:O

Dayum.

That's some good stuff.

Excellent model with some fantastic detail work. I especially like the plasma gun. Though it's about 16" bigger than I'd make it...

Holy hell, your friend better ask for some help painting that! That's incredible.

Heh! Well this is the scratch built Warhound he built too, the Warlord willl have the same paint scheme...

Wow that is one of the best scratch made thins i have ever seen...

Looking good!

Very very nice, the proportions look spot on.

Amazing. AMAZING. I wonder if Blackadder knows about this...

Most excellent scratch building skills! Good saving on money.

Amazing paint job, just stunning nmm!

Awesome work. Any chnace of a 'how to' on the Gold coloured trim on the Reaver?

wow im surprised this isnt a really popular topic
amazing model

Very, very nice model and with that scheme it's going to look even better. Eager for the completed pics now.

dare I say this... I am not sure if I am most impressed of the painting or the build.

Any chnace of a 'how to' on the Gold coloured trim on the Reaver?

Seconded.

That's the best scratch-built Titan I've ever seen...

I mean normally they just look awful

But that actually has some detail on it, which is real nice... No obvious paper cups or whatnot.

Not a problem, I'll get the chap who did it to reply or something.

Tis a cracking version.

The gold trim, well its very thin plasticard. Quite simple, as for the painting its NMM, I shall get some more info. Or better still get him to join the forum!

Fantastic scratch-builds, both of them. I love the detail work and the Warlord looks very much like the Epic 40k Mk.III Warlord.

But it's way to damned tall. Way.



My two questions about the Warlord are:
1) What material is the head made of? It appears to be some sort of sculpted clay or greenstuff-esque material
2) What is the skeleton made out of? As large as that thing is, it has to be pretty heavy on those spindly legs.

Hi, thanks all for you nice comments, in answer to your questions, i was scratching my head for a material to mold the head and in the end i used plaster on foam board (i waited till the plaster was about to go hard and applied it quickly and applied it in two layers) then sanded it, it was surprisingly easy.
The frame is 40mm push fit waste pipe and the waist is 110mm down pipe.
Yes it's a little too big and very heavy but i wanted to use it as a Warlord and to be able to add to it at a later date and use it as an Emperor class (i couldn't resist the thought of transporting 104 marines into combat) hence it's over sized

A specail thanks must go to Middenface for his help in building my Warhound, he gave me the foamX board and lots of advise on NMM (Cheers bud)

Wow that is awesome. How long did that take to build?

Those are some awesome Titans.

Amazing.

The wife would say too long....... but 1 to 2 hours almost every night for 9 months, I'm glad it's over i just need to paint it now

I've all most finished painting the warlord titan, would any body like to see some battle shots? It saw action last weekend and kicked butt, but still couldn't kill my nemesis "the Hierophant" I'm sure he has loaded dice

Well you asked for it:.....

I do believe that you are jesus.

I'll be worshipping you for ever now. *Bows* We are not worthy!

That's just incredible, in the top rank of titans built on line.

Have to ask, how did you make the head? In the first pic it looks a bit rough and ready made from polystyrene, but later it's smooth and well formed. What materials did you use?

This.

Is.

MINDBLOWING.

It is rather nice.

Now as he says to me on FB, count the scratch builds....
