Finished my Imperial Titan to squash the enemies of the Emperor!!!
This is a fantastic model by Games Workshop: the parts fit wonderfully and it was a pleasure to build.
I definitely recommend this model as top quality for anyone who enjoys building models.
Although 147+ parts appears daunting at the beginning
The gun-arm is magnetized so you can swap between the Battle Cannon or the Thermal Cannon for added versatility.
I find players are magnetizing models more often to save cost vs hobbyist who don't...
It also comes with two "masks" for the face if you get bored with the look

However nice the miniature, its an ugly rash on Dakka.
Painting and Modeling is purely to show off painting an modeling. Trades go in the Swap Shop with all the rest.
Mods ought to move this before the painting sections fill with thinly disguised advertising.
On way you can do this is to edit the sales pitch out of your thread and rename it, then come back with another post on the Swap Shop offering a link here and to eBay.

Thanks!
@Loken
yes, i decided to risk using an airbrush for a change. (I prefer painting by hand so this was a bit daunting) .
@Orlanth
sorry!! I did put it up at the swop/sale forum first and was lazy when I posted it here (Copy & Paste)...
I've edited it to not look like a sales pitch.
I agree this section should focus more on appreciating the models.

There's no reason he can't put a link to his ebay auction here. He didn't break any of the rules of this subforum. AND it's a beautiful model. Besides, half the posts here these days are by commission painters who are basically using the forum as free advertisement. But that's absolutely fine, because the point of the subforum is to post awesome paint jobs, which commission painters tend to do. Let's leave the moderating to the mods, eh Orlanth?

Until edited the whole thread was just a sale pitch.

Indeed and they know the difference between showcasing and then selling elsewhere and turning Dakka into a billboard.
There are a lot of people trading here, a lot of pro-painters, most of them understand the need not to cheapen the site or abuse its systems.
Those who want to sell here only advertise in the wrong place once, learn and then do what everyone else does.
The message still gets out, sales are still made, but Dakka remains as is.
It's better that way, Painting and Modelling is for Painting and Modelling, not Sales and Marketing.
Take a look at this forum, people know that this is not the place for advertising, Swap Shop is there for advertising, and one can be as blatant about a trade deal as you want there. We dont need to involve the Mods and ask for enforcement. Instead Dakka community can ask posters nicely to place their content in the correct subforum. Most with a trade agenda, including the OP realise this and don't make waves.
Reporting this as an offense would have been the wrong thing to do, instead we want cooperation, it needs less policing and is best for all. We will get to see more of InquisatorB's excellent work because he is friendly, he gets his same chance at a profitable sale, and this doesn't lower the Painting and Modelling section into a trade mag, chock with advertising. Win-win-win.

Still feels like a sale pitch even after his edit and I don't agree with anything the OP has done. The first thing I said to my self is this is in the wrong forum. If dakka showcase starts becoming like this I will flat leave the forums.

Lovely work!
Having just finished building my own Knight I agree with you--the kit is daunting until you actually start building and then it goes together like a dream. I quite like the mottled blues on the hull armor, and the overall dark, ominous tone of the color scheme. Who ever ends up with this Knight will have a wonderful showcase model to enjoy.

Fantastic paintjob. I absolutely love it. The knight also looks like a great miniature to really pour details on.
