today i spent some time on the head, the back, its belly armor and the shoulders.
-

last weekend i continued a bit with the titan.
first of all i added some details and additional stuff to the region above the head.


including a little flak.


smiling into cameras is def not its' thing ...


some detail shot.


and 2 additional gunners on its' hip balconies.



and the banner. to be honest i really like it.


and again the whole current titan.

The titan is nothing short of awesome! Looking forward to seeing it completed and painted!

I'd see about getting some longer arms on there so you can put the guns out to the side a bit and bulk up the torso a little. its looking kind of emaciated for a warlord titan. Very cool build though!

hmm. i see. the main problem when trying to achieve this will be not to bulk up the torso too much, which would make the legs look to weak, again.
before i mounted the arms in that position i tried attaching them a bit further away from the torso. But the result was that suddenly the hips started to look somehow too small.

next i'll finish the weapons. i'm planning to add some additional strutting between the torso and the shoulder, too.
maybe this will resolve the issue, too. let's see.

I made a quick sketch to give you an idea of what i mean. I think it will look pretty good if you can achieve something like this. without making the legs seem to spindly. Hope this is usefull for you!

wow. i really like it. => i'll see what i can do.i think i'll try to add the additional structure to the torso, first and then if still necessary remount the weapons, too.

This thread is just inspirational. Your use of bits is so resourceful, especially the GW terrain kits (which I think are actually some of their best work). I agree with NickOnwezen about the carrying angle of the arms and the narrow torso, and think his sketch up looks great

no ammo, no noise.
.

Finally correctly sized bullets!! The size of an ICBM .
Really nice construction so far. Can't wait to see it painted

last night i spent some time rebuilding the ammo meachism using some building sprue windows as ammo slits.
-

last week i reinforced the titan with some additional magnetized parts.
-

-
e.g. a addtional breatplate with some additional armor around the neck.
and an armor plate on top of the head.

i also tried to get rid of the T-shape by reinforcing the back below the shoulders with the imperial bastion walls, you can see in the following pics.
the ladders i attached should create a visual connection between the belly galery and those new armor sections.

I really dig that extra armour you put on. glad to see you took my advice. this is shaping up to be the biggest baddest kitbash i have seen on here in a long time. kudos.

here's a little update on the paintjob:

Very impressive :-)

Wow fricking awesome dude! Love the simple but effective paint job and color scheme. And the lights! Super awesome! Thats gotta be an awesome sight to behold when someone has to face that army!

last night i build a transport speeder that now can be attached to the landing pad by a hidden magnet:
