Warlord Titan (2)

Today was a lovely suprise, I got to work to find all of the children I teach today were on a trip. Time to get on with the Titan I hear you call!

Well thats exacty what I did. I have really made some progress today mainly by bulking out the waist, adding more structure to the thighs and putting a sloped series of panels on the upper torso to make it look more like the original model. I have also enlarged the feet and worked out a way to put it torgether so it can be transported in pieces.


The back of the model is coming on nicely with a good ammount of interesting surfices to add detail too. The next job I have is to add filler to all of the areas that I made a little "wonky" this will allow me to have clean surfices after a bit of filling and sanding. I can then add of the top detailed panels using plasticard. This is available from most good hobby stores and comes in a number of thiscknesses, im using 20 microns.

This is a close up of the back of the leg. I have some problems here as I made the model before I really looked at the original so I now have to work out a way to create the gears and mechanical gubbins that is shown on the original.

I am really happy with the front of the legs now. Yesterday they looked a bit skinny and the waist was too thin but just by adding the thigh plates the body looks much more in proportionand I dont feel that I have much more work to do on it.

More Croch for ya!

The feet are much bigger and heavier now I have added the new layer of MDF. This is 12 mm thick and should provide a good solid heavy base for the model so I wont have to create a separate base for it.

I have just pinned the feet in using some wooden dowl I intend to model round it to create a solid attachment for the feet in the long term. I have not decided wheter I am going to make the feet detachable for transport like I have the torso I dont want it to be to rickety so ill probably attach them at a later date.

Here is a close up of the upper torso. Ive still got loads to do but its beginning to look pretty sweet to me. Tomorrow i intend to fill and sand the gaps to make a good layer for the deatiled plasticard panels to go in then im going to have to think about rivets...oh no not rivets!
