Blackadder Attempts to build an Emperor Titan

Love it!
And it took me a while to figure out the 100. cal thing. That's quite the cannon you're having - imagine adding a real 1" gun that fires blanks. Just to see your opponent jump for cover every single time you're firing an ingame shot

That huge caliber cannon isn't my innovation; I'd prefer a less outlandish piece of ordinance. The rules of play call for this cannon. (Not that this Titan will ever figure into an actual game on my watch )

You wouldn't believe how much work went into this decoration:
Oh, I think we do and it looks fantastic. Keep up the superb work.

Is That a 200CM Cannon in Your Pocket?
Or are you just glad there is an update?
Anyway before I can go any further with the detail on the center module I need to rough out the cannon mount.

An old vacuum cleaner extension tube provides the basic barrel and I'll just trim it out with a sleeve to augment the details.

Next step, the minarets.

well, there is progress... ...and a lot more work to do. I`m looking forward to see the finished product. I guess, after finishing this monster you'll have a whole Legion, not just a maniple, hm!?
keep on scratching, love your work

It's Beginning To Look a Tad Cluttered:
https://i.imgur.com/dHZK7X5.jpg
I may have to widen the superstructure platform.
https://i.imgur.com/xWTf2Fe.jpg
This is not as drastic as it sounds because I've already widened the rear of the platform and extended it further aft.
https://i.imgur.com/UOhAlBJ.jpg
An inch wider would probably make all the difference

The central Tower needs to be further back.

The two flanking towers which give the structure a portcullis-like appearance hide the Aquila

These bas reliefs are approximately 2-3 millimeters thick and are a fair representation of the Adeptus Mechanicus Icon.
Gone are the days when I use to spend hours sculpting bas reliefs to decorate my projects.
Witness the effort I put into the pelvic block of my Warlord Titan:

I was searching through my archives for ideas on how to decorate the various chambers of this current project.
Believe it or not here's an Easter egg I put on the soles of the Warlord's feet:
More Skull-duggery
The logo that is most detailed............

The mirror is less further along:

The thickness is at this moment 1,5 MM/0.060 inch Needs to be less:

Close up reveals some fine cleanup is necessary:

I've got to get cracking on this Emperor model

Well, you're freaky like me... Do we consult the same Doc??
if you're doing a Base for your "child" you need to do some footprints.. Pretty good work, go ahead..

I have a question and I need some advice.
I'm resurrecting my old Titan Hunter Thread because I need to learn how to do the Plasma Blaster blue glow on the plasma coils
https://i.imgur.com/1PdH0Ne.jpg
I have the much larger Coils on the Emperor Titan's weapon and I want to do a bang up job.

What colours and What washes do I need to do a real Pro Job?
And yes; as soon as the weather wams up I'll begin painting certain areas of this monster

Thanks for the replies...
Back to Business:
Short post today.
I finished the corner spires a day ago and glued them in place.
https://i.imgur.com/Msw2i3N.jpg
I cannot say what their purpose could be They are too narrow tp climb inside to the top and they are purely decorative in my estimation.

Not that the Imperium is above 'decorating' purely for it's own sake.

What colours and What washes do I need to do a real Pro Job?
There are some neon paints with very strong saturation and brightness. I don't think they are necessary but could come in handy. More important is a strong white, most people recommend a white ink, as it's much less chalky and got way better opacity than usual white colour.
I'd say two things are crucial to sell an OSL effect:
The first one is the source of light, which should be pretty strong and needs high contrast to the other colours. The second thing is the outer glow, as this is the reason we perceive a colour as diffuse reflectance of light.
-
This is the effect I'm going for.

Thanks for all the replies;
I was in a playful mood yesterday and decided to spend my time making an Adeptus Mechanicus Icon for the front of the Quake Cannon housing.
After a couple of failed attempts I suddenly remembered how I used to produce them, i.e.
Mount the cut out circle and the center skull (Cast from Green Stuff) bas-relief on a sheet of styrene.
Then glue on the cogs with the appropriate sized strips of styrene. using the next size larger strip. In this case I used 0.030 X 0.100 and 0.030 X0.125 Evergreen Strip Styrene.
I then added the skull metal prosthetic to the right side of the skull and finished off with 0.025 rod for the cables and 0.100 rod for the eyepiece.

https://i.imgur.com/OMEhwdX.jpg
This is the smallest Icon I've made so far.
I hope when it's painted it doesn't look as crappy as it does right now.
-
Anyway I think I nailed it
https://i.imgur.com/oQfZJbV.jpg
albeit I do have to widen the front of the deck
https://i.imgur.com/kZbaNIT.jpg
as it does look a tad crowded especially with the four towers on either side of the main Quake cannon.
https://i.imgur.com/9SsJpw0.jpg
I have varied the flanking "portcullis" towers a bit because the taller thin towers look better behind the wider but shorter front towers
https://i.imgur.com/4INuJV5.jpg
which hide the turret artwork too much.

A Change of Pace:
It's time to readdress the Raison d'etre of this project. The second main weapon arm will be a Gatling style multiple barrel weapon.
https://i.imgur.com/1Ykg86a.jpg
I'll have to redesign the gun mounts on both the arm weapons as they hang too low and may interfere with the hips
https://i.imgur.com/3tDuxzH.jpg
It's going to be a bit refreshing to design something other than the castle superstructure for a change. I actually spent some time these past few days painting a Baneblade variant tank Plasma cannon....
Heresy!

Zitat von Vejut 688647 11092363 null
Sorry to hear you need to redesign, but that gatling is definitely looking good...
Not a problem Vejut. Making it look right in my minds eye is what make this project interesting. If everything went together perfectly what a bore that would be.
My third try at this Quake Cannon seems to have hit the mark....

The muzzle brake adds a nice touch (If that is what I think it is. Those holes must be for something besides esthetics.
https://i.imgur.com/UMLnlTd.jpg
Any ideas what they could be? Ordnance is not my specialty.
