That's scary. Google learned how to walk in a matter of days of info. We had to learn it over millions of years. If it's that much more intelligent when will it be able to make decisions? And when will people say that this is ridiculous and dangerous? In all seriousness this was a pretty cool and informative vid tho.

I do want men of iron.

I just don't want us men of flesh to oppress them / interfere with them so badly that they feel the need to revolt.

Hey! My Thread's Hyjacked!!!

Naah; any reply is better than none.......

So There's An Eagle Back There?

Two days of cutting out Eagles and this is the result. Talk about exercise in futility, but at least I'll know that they are there.

Maybe after they are gilded they'll show up better. Anyway that's how they appear on the 3D model.

Shame all that work is hidden behind more work.

cant wait to see you try and paint all that detail

Do you have anything planned for the space right above the grey plastic in the little corner spot? Looks like a great place for a statue .

Or a spot light. or MORE GUNS!

"Or"?

More like AND. AMIRITE??

Actually it looks like a drain pipe is there:

Well I think you could take liberty with that then. (Or it could be where the tech priest bathroom plumbing exits ) that ain’t rain hitting you boy .

A drain pipe with statuary on it. Maybe you could add some gargoyles!

A drainpipe gargoyle WITH A FLAMETHROWER!!

Looks more like a pole to me, maybe a gargoyle with a flamethrower pole dancing!

Could use an SoB mini?

Maybe I am way too late too think about this, but if the earth it walked on was muddy and it slipped... would you just call a new imperial bastion?

You building skills are amazing. Your ability to complete detail with futility would have the finest craft men jealous.

Dear sweet god!

That's awesome man

Oh yeah, lotsa gargoyles. Interesting side note; gargoyles on medieval cathedrals directed rain water away from the sides of the building to prevent erosion of the soft stone. The other baroque grotesqueries, the grotesques and chimera were not downspouts but became known as gargoyles as well. The word gargoyle is an onomatopoeia because of the gurgling sound they made when it rained.

Love how much detail you are putting into it. Along with all the praise above, which I agree with, it's awesome to see the level of detail and dedication to the fluff. I love stopping in here and checking out your work. Looks fantastic.

I still struggle with English (proper, not American), do you really put linguists in the trunk of your car . I mean they can ramble on,but it’s more fun to just misuse terms and watch them get angry .

I see what you did there

An altercation with a linguist would demonstrate my inept skills with vocabulary

That is a stroke of brilliance!

Clutchin' At Straws:

I've got this huge space between the deck and the Main Arm Support Yoke that has to be filled with some awesome Titiany stuff. So right now I am experimenting with Cod Bitz to try to com up with a unique techy/churchy facade that covers three floors of the interior behind the head.

https://i.imgur.com/EEEvskn.jpg


This is the first attempt and I'm not too pleased with the huge doors.

https://i.imgur.com/YCNkW2b.jpg

It seems to diminish the over all size of the figures compared to the Titan.

https://i.imgur.com/KOGotwh.jpg


Stepping back the effect isn't as bad but I need a rational for the oversized doors and as I type this the Adeptus Mechanicus Tech Priest Dominus' are just the ticket and the Belisarius Cawl can use the double front doors

Ha! Problem is solved.

I planned to have the two outsized clergy overseeing the battle from the balcony vantage point all along and purely by accident I made the way they can access the balcony. Talk about serendipity.

This is incredible.

This is such an awesome project.

Skinning:

So it's time to skin the yoke. A straightforward application of 0.040 inch/ 1 MM styrene to cover all the internal structure.

https://i.imgur.com/YEq238u.jpg


It takes a lot of styrene glue and a few gluing clamps but other than leaving an excess of styrene for slight variations in the surface, all the gluing takes is a bit of care and patience.

https://i.imgur.com/eYBMLvW.jpg


When dried sand off the excess with sanding blocks and files.

https://i.imgur.com/O5BaWsy.jpg


Worthy of note, I don't use green stuff, it makes for a sloppy looking interim stage so instead I just use Thin Cement and as I sand, the styrene dust settles in the cracks and the cement dissolves it so when dry the crack/blemish is repaired with the same material as the model.

I gotta do something to relieve the tedium.....

Looking even sexier now that it’s showing off it’s skin

a few year since ago I was following a build where a person was making a warhound from scratch. It was a good build and very detailed, at the end the person drops the mic and reveals that he actually built three of them at once but only ever showed us the one . So when the final reveal happens here I’m expecting a whole fleet of warmongers , or at least for blackie to climb inside and drive it away.
