How Many layers is that? I had to use the same technique on the Reaver titan face. Carving it out from there was a pain in the butt. I don't have a belt sander had to use a Dremel......

I use my belt sander much more than my Dremel. You can get a new one on Amazon for 85 bucks shipping included. http://www.amazon.com/36-Belt-Disc-Sander/dp/B004IA68EA/ref=sr_1_fed1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1353866036&sr=8-6&keywords=table+belt+sander 17 layers of 2 mm styrene.

A final sanding before retiring last night.
This morning I re scribed the line which reveal that I am off by as much as half a millimeter in some areas. That will have to be corrected before I meld the contours to form the requisite compound curves that are so striking on the original model.

You can see by the compound curves that it is complex item to replicate. Mr. Smith himself carved the plug out of wood and cast a mould and then cast the final cowl which I understand had flaws in it anyway. Since I am only making one I saw no need for all those extra steps and just when to cutting the finished product. Once it is the proper size I'll show it in place.

Well the forehead is proceeding nicely and it wasn't as tough a job as I had imagined but it still is too massive and heavy looking but once I remove about another 3 mm all around it should be of a proper scale. The pictures indicate that it could be more rounded. In all not too shoddy for a first attempt............. Also I may have to raise the head higher on the neck to bring it closer to the hood overhang. http://i.imgur.com/F2HJ7.jpg  http://i.imgur.com/C0CMb.jpg  http://i.imgur.com/hAvDM.jpg  http://i.imgur.com/J2Wkq.jpg

Well it's taken two days of sanding and scraping and the piece has gone from about 4.0 ounces to 0.85 ounces and is about 0.250 inches/6 mm thick now that the interior has been hollowed. At 28 mm scale, 28 mm being equal to six feet/1.83 meters thats close to 16 inches 0.039 meters of what-have-you armour. In battleship steel armour the equivalent of the belt armour on the Iowa Class Battleship.
I dare not pare down the sallat any more until I see how it relates to the rest of the helmet armour and I do need to raise the head on the neck a minimum of 0.5 inches/12 mm.

I want to see the underside of the forehead now that it's all sanded out. Looks good, but a bit more bulbous rather than sleek.

I need a complete overview before I cut any deeper because it will be harder to rebuild it than to sand more away.

http://apocalypse40k.blogspot.com/2012/04/forgeworld-warlord-titan.html For a while there have been rumors, mostly speculation, but some insiders, who said that Forgeworld is making a Warlord Titan. Sure, it makes sense in that they did a Warhound, and then a Reaver. But a Warlord is a BIG model. Figure 50% bigger than a Reaver. And how many would they sell? How many people play games where you can use it? It would certainly cost around $ 1,500. Well, the fact is, after my talks with two different members of the Forgeworld team at Adepticon, they actually would LIKE to make a Warlord. However, they have no plans for doing so. At Forgeworld there is a list of projects that are in some stage of working on, even if it is just concept design and the Warlord is NOT on that list. Forgeworld would like Will Hayes, who has created every Titan Forgeworld has made (The Warhounds, Reavers, Eldar Revenant and Phantom), to make the Warlord. The problem is that the Warlord will take 18 months to complete and WIll is one of the best designers in the studio. To lose him that long would severely hurt Forgeworld's ability to release other models. And ultimately there is a financial analysis that sees that as not very wise. So keep hoping, and in the mean time, do what I did, and buy a Warlord! (Check out the Apocalypse40K forum).

My undying thanks to Messr Hutt who consistently chides me into attempting further heights albeit not without the fortitude obtained by my imbibement of ardent spirits. With a full triple Martini (Caution! do not try this at home kiddies, the Blackadder is a professional sot.) under my belt I spooled up the ol' belt sander and eroded a further 2-3 MM for the bulbous pate and it looks much better. Thank you M. Hutt for your critique and your accumen Images to follow after the bleeding abates.

Well, then, Black, It falls to you to ensure that your Warlord is of a cast worthy design so that Forgeworld may yet commission you to do it.......

There for want of a better name a lot of work going into the armour 'bra' to get the proportions and the angles correct. I initially attached a piece of foolscap to the nose cowl but found the paper creased differently than the plastic so I had to resort to another method.
Ultimately I cut and measured the piece by trial and error and have it down I believe. Only when it is attached will I know but the surface armour will be easier to attach with the 'bra' not attached so I hope all this work will not be for naught.

I know everyone is tired of me adjusting the head but it's not quite right you know.............. I mean the titan head. First at the instigation of by favorite critic M. Jabba I shaved about 3 MM off the helmet dome and it looks better. Then I cut about 3MM off the bra armour (Well wadda you call it?) all around and that is falling into line as well.
