The riptide is smaller though. So I'd say this is 106 or 105?

Looks like metal gear rex, without the beak. It's even got a railgun.

Loving this. Loooooving this.

I know, but I was going off that post a few pages back about how they designate suits, using 10 as the largest possible number, and 2 denoting its a prototype undergoing field testing.

Is that thing officially Tau?
It looks like it...

This project is amazing dude. The railgun alone must have taken forever - my hat's off to you.

as a Necron (and Ex-Tau) Player, Im going to say do I spy half Necron Destroyers as toes?

There are so many tiny touches and details in this model. I love it. What an effort just building that rail gun, which is stunning!

Thats an excellent rex picture, not seen that one before, and yeah I think it's the legs that look a bit metal gear like. Actually a rex model is somthing I've always wanted to build, maybe one day.

Yes those are parts of a Destroyer, had them leftover from my Necron Army and they seemed to work quite well as feet.

After receiving some constructive criticism and a little extra build work I've finally finished the Battlesuit.

I decided to replace the old small burst cannon mounted under the battlesuits left arm, with a bigger scratch built one, which seemed to make more sense considering the battlesuits size.
Here's a few pics below, once my camera's charged up I will be adding a lot more.

thank you to everyone who commented throughout this project, it made a huge difference hearing your thoughts and ideas, thank you again.

Man that thing is amazing. Hopefully it'll have rules eventually, but it looks hella cool.

Just amazing. It really is a masterpiece. You know you're talented when it looks amazing and battle ready unpainted. I can't wait to see the work someone does on this, no doubt who ever picks it up will be able to do it some justice.

Wow! This is amazing! Reminds me a little of a Transformer (not that that's in any way a bad thing of course!)

Subscribed!

This has so much win that I'm on the verge of tears. That being said, I've noticed that the majority of Tau battlesuits have their head on top of the torso, not at the front. This will fit in very well with the new aesthetic of the recent codex, besides that little factor.

No - Tau Gundam Style!

Tau Gundam style, I am in on that. The repair drone looks like a root from wall-e. I think this is one of the most impressive models I have seen.

That is just all kinds of cool

The titan is now up on eBay, all i can do now is wait and see what happens.
I will post an eBay link up as soon as i can, along with the rest of the final pictures.

I like that idea. Surely this one is much bigger than the riptide?

about 3.5 times if my own guesses are correct

Yes it is bigger than the riptide, from the pictures I've seen I think it's a least 3 times the size.
not sure how big the riptide is but the titans 11 inches tall.

Massive! I love it.

The Titan has been sold and will soon be on it's way to the other side of the world ( at least from my perspective ).

I enjoyed building it so much that now I'm thinking of building another, although this next one will be more of a kit bash than a scratch build as I plan on using a riptide as the base,
along with two hammerheads, a few piranhas and what ever other odds and ends I can come across.

This probably wont happen for a while yet as at the moment i cant quite afford to spend around £100 on models and then cut them all to pieces...

But I will at some point .

Some one in the UK won it did they?

No, its going to new zealand... I live in the UK, despite what that little flag says

Oh...

Ok then, I just know someone who would love the opportunity to paint that thing.

And I thought the flag was right XD

That is one hell of a model!

Absolutely amazing model - I hope whoever bought it posts some pics when they've finished it; I want to see it painted!

I have news... even though I've finished and sold the Tau Titan this project is not over, as I've been approached buy a few people who saw the Titan, and have asked me to build them one.
Now don't anyone get too excited as nothings been confirmed yet, but if work on a new Tau Titan does start then I'll be posting regular updates on here.

Here's hoping

Great. Congratulations and well done. Well deserved.

wow... i hope you got well paid for that one...i have been lurking here in secret admiration all the time...

Any updates from the buyer? I know I'm not the only one that's curious to see it painted!
