Yeah it will be hard for you to try and guess at how unbalanced it is until it's built! Maybe you will get licky and it won't tip over at all

Fat chance of that. Have you ever tried to model a titan? They aren't balanced well as designed....

I think I found where your tippyness problem is coming from but it may be too late in the modelling process to change it.
Take a look at the picture you posted here:
See how far the *hip joint* sits ahead of the lowest *knee joint*. That is moving the centre of mass of the model forward to just over top of the toes of the titan.
Here is a picture of what my Forgeworld titan's legs look like from a similar angle:
The *hip joint* sits much further back leaving it centered over the foot rather than in front of it.
Just something to think about.
Regardless, I personally think the details on your titan look better than the FW one, keep up the great work! Can;t wait to see the pile of them togeather!

Thanks, Frogg, but Mine isn't actually having a tipping problem. It MAY, once the head and weapons are on. But, I think that this thing will get a base anyway..... As far as the detail goes, I am actually uupset with myself on one thing. On the last Mars pattern I built I put that deep well on the side of the hip on my model. I didn't do that on this one for some reason. This one doesn't have a tipping problem, either. i think the weight difference is the key factor between mine and the resin FW's. But, then again, there is much more detail on this one. I have learned a lot since then.....

You've been busy! That warhound is looking fantastic! (except, of course, for all of those gaudy chaos icons  )
How do you get such smooth curves in your plasticard? All of those body panels look spectacular!

Sorry, that's the loyalist in me speaking  I actually am quite impressed by the chaos icons you've made: very detailed and well fitted to the corresponding body panel. Do you use a heat gun to bend your plasticard?

So, glue one side really well, let dry, bend plasticard and glue other side really well, let dry? Do you have any problems with seams coming apart over time? What thickness of plasticard do you use?

The Reaver Carapace is two layers of .040 Styrene sheet. I bend them both into the general shape I need then glue them together and tape them into the final shape I need. Once the glue has cured I finish cutting the general shape into the specific shape using a template of the final shape made out of .020 plasti-card. Once the final form is drawn on the shape sheets I score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score and score until both layers are cut completely through, evenly. Automatically Appended Next Post: The I place the part in place and glue it down. The Warpuppie is different because it is only one layer of Plasti-card and has an only slightly pronouced bend across the body from side to side. Creative design on this piece keeps me from haveing to actually 'shape' the plasti-card. it is truly only 'bent'. Stand by for a diagram. Automatically Appended Next Post: This is just an example. The Reaver carapace is really big and the size complicates it. The Warpuppie is smalle and easier to handle. the t shaped image at #1 is my design. It shows how my bends do not overlap. in #2, which is more like the real thing the 'bends' overlap creating a rounded corner effect that would be very difficult to reproduce in flat sheet plastic.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I am gonna be doing six of these starting next month so I will make it a point, as our good buddy Dave has pointed out, to take more WIP photos and provide explanations as I go. Also, Two or three more Reavers, for which I will do the same.
