Yo all. First post and first thread. First off thanks for all you guys posting on here. Gathered lots of tips and suggestions on how to do stuff from how to use green stuff to free hand painting.

So to the matter of the topic. After surfing the net looking at all these home made titans that people have been coming up with, ive decided to bite the bullet and make my own. I have started ordering the materials and tools that i think ill need. So over the next couple of weeks ill be starting the project and keeping you guys updated with pics and junk.

This is the largest project that ive ever taken upon myself, and i know its gonna involve a lot of time and effort and trial and error. But hopefully if i stick to it, i will end up with a massive unit that i can be proud of. Wish me luck.

Got the legs and pelvis done. Made them from lengths of PVC drainage pipe. I decided to have a small bend in the knees rather than just 1 straight leg. If the Knee joint turns out to be weak, ill go for the single leg pipe option.

Basically, the pipe that is pointing upwars will have another length of pipe running from it, upwards through the polystyrene block that i will use for the main chest and torso area.

Im hoping to make all of the parts modular using blocks of styrene covered in plasticard cut to look like armour plates. Im still waiting for the polystyrene to be delivered before i can start work on the feet and the main body blocks.

Ill keep you updated.
