Thanks for renewing interest in this thread. I am in the process of moving and put all modeling on hold for the past few months. Once I am established in my new digs I'll be able to devote a lot more time to this project and of course since it is not a copy of a production FW model
I will share what dimensions I have. As soon as I figure out what they are myself as right now the model looks down right ungainly.

lol

Interest is always here for you Blackadder

Hey can you make more? cuz im making one XD!!!

ok thank you

The pictures I've seen in this thread and the courage you have taking this challenge has brought me to try to make my own titan. However, I am lacking in funds and crafting skills, so my titan will be in blender for animations and such. I wish you luck, and I also hope that I will be able to finish mine as well.

Well finally I found some decent images from which to take measurements.

The first order of business is to edit this front projection into a workable set of templates. I did this with 'Photo Impact 10' a trusty program that I am use to. There may be better photo shops but I've used this one for years.

By my reckoning this projection will give me a titan about 24 inches tall which translates into a Warlord Titan about 115 feet tall or a little over 35 meters tall. Quite sufficient without being ridiculously tall.

I just purchase 46 bucks worth of plasticard including two sheets 1.5 mm thick that I will use to make the legs and torso so I'm commited or at the very least should be.

Nice! Why are you doing this and the T-hawk at the same time? Not enough insanity in your life?

The Thunderhawk is a project for my son but the Warlord is my obsession.

Didn't think I'd see this thread pop up on my subscribed list again.... Looking good, from what I've skimmed. Good luck!

Wow I love people that are brave to take on these big builds.
Keep up the good work.
Peace

Well, Blackadder, I wish you the best of luck, and in bad times, go to the DakkaDakka/Warseer forums and get some nice uplifting words from us guys..

I've just reread all the replies regarding this project and I thank all for the input but this one caught my eye. It's not that I ignored the Reaver but it has been so availably reproduced by 'mxwllmdr' that I feel I can add little to the subject.

IMHO the Reaver has an 'impression' weakness in its overall demeanor that I am hard-pressed to resolve i.e. the round shouldered look which connotes weakness. A purely physical bias on my part which I am hearty ashamed to confess but none the less until I reach a viable reconciliation of this prejudice I shall not be adding a Reaver to my list of Titans and if I do it will be a facsimile of 'mxwllmdr' outstanding effort.

Mxwllmdr is pretty amazing, for those who haven't seen it;

I don't think there is a P&M blog about it though. I wish that there was a Lucius Pattern Reaver, maybe that is what you should do. Fill in the Mars void left by GW!!!! I never liked the Reaver form epic days, it has an almost gaunt, or graceful look to it. They filled it out on the FW model, but I too wish it didn't haven't all these curves.

I believe this is his blog (featuring the Reaver)

Ha, I am subbed and read that one! Forgot that it started with a Reaver in it!

He lives!

I know you're not all into the fluff and stuff, but there is a Lucius pattern of the Reaver which avoids all of the rounded weaknesses you see. I think you should do the Reaver in the little seen Lucius class....

I'm sorry but the Reaver Titan will alway remind me of images from my childhood; that of the Surinam toad that carries her eggs in pockets in her back the male pressing them into the pockets as soon as they are laid. That image has always haunted me with revulsion and every time I see that rocket pod on the Reaver it reminds me of that abomination of nature. Ugh!

Ugggjhh thats not good dude. Thanks.for putting a nice.image in my head!

How d'ya think I feel about it?

No Reaver Titans for me at least with rocket pods.

Compared to Mother Nature Nurgles are amateurs.

And whose design was that hmmmmm.

I will never see an apocalypse launcher the same.

I hate it so much....

Welcome to my nightmare.

Sometimes an eidetic memory is a curse but on the other hand it did spawn a generous supply of replies.

Back to the subject some side pieces. Now this is the way to scale a Warlord.

ok dude, i've been waiting for someone i reckon has a chance to build a good titan to share this with, here's some mathhammer someone did a few years back, i used it in my attempts before budget issues killed the project;

Height and Width:



1 = 3”
2 = 12“
3 = 20 1/2”
4 = 5”
5 = 5”
6 = 24”
7 = 4”
8 = 13 ½”
9 = 5”
10 = 5 ½”
11 = 3”
12 = 4”
13 = 1 “
14 = 1 ½”
15 = 3”
16 = 3”
17 = 3”
18 = 3”
19 = 4”
20 = 10 ½”
21 = 5 ½”
22 = 2 ½”
23 = 2 ½”
24 = 4”
25 = 6 ½”
26 = 6”
27 = 3”
28 = 3”
29 = 2 ½”
30 = 5”
31 = 1 ½”
32 = 4”
33 = 7 ½”
34 = 6”
35 = 9 ½”
36 = 5”

Depth:



1 = 2 ½”
2 = 6”
3 = 1 ½”
4 = 2”
5 = 2 ½”
6 = 5 ½”
7 = 2”
8 = 2”
9 = 3”
10 = 1 ½”
11 = 8”
12 = 2”
13 = 6”
14 = 7 ½”
15 = 2”
16 = 9”
17 = 7 ½”
18 = 5”
19 = ½”
20 = 2”
21 = 6 ½”
22 = 3"

these are the images of the two titans i've tried to put together, one in card, one in foam.





my designs always had shins there were slightly out of scale due to personal prefrence, but the mathhammer allows a pretty descent scale.

Come on Black! Can you start the warord asap?
