That project is really impressive. I am always looking forward to your next updates
Great job so far!
-
That is some heavy lifting.

I couldn't have said it nicer.

I watched the HelsReach Emperor Titan fold up like a two dollar suitcase in episode 13. What an ignoble end for a God Machine; Faaa!

Up In The Big Leagues:
About a week ago I began detailing the various edifices of the upper works and found myself in short supply of the 0.80 X .250 inch Evergreen Styrene strips (2.0 X 4.8 MM)
According to my calculations I would need about ten packets. I found a user friendly "Factory Direct" Hobby Supply site which will now be my go to source for special styrene strips etc.

Behold $ 150 bucks worth of styrene strips and tubes
And The beginnings of making 96 pieces of the same size portal details for the corner bastions.

Yes, that was pretty f*** up. I read the book and had a much more heroic picture in mind according to the description in there.

So you are implying that progress up to now was just "fooling around" ? I like your humor !
Keep it up, as allways i admire your persistence and work.

Thanks for the replies....
It's a good thing hobbies are entertainment expenses.
Witness the undeniable joy of making 96 of these detail pieces; HA!

48 shown here but I know I'll probably need at least that many more later on.
I streamlined the procedure by making an assembly line. I'd say these detail bits are about half done.

Make five more so can can tell everybody "I made more than 100 of these"
-
Fortunately, I only need 48 for the time being.....
Whew!
48 of these bad boys and they're only half done.

But finished enough to mount them on the corner bastions.
I just have to match them in threes to allow for minor discrepancies in size.

After seeing this version of another Emperor Titan , which is not so convincing, I am looking more and more foward to see the final result one day. What I really like at this other Titan are the front designs and details of the legs.
So my fingers are crossed you did not go mad with the 24 missing bad boys
-
I've just seen this version today as well . Nine feet tall egad!
My modest effort tops out at present 51 inches with still either spires or AA cannon to surmount the bastions but nowhere close to nine feet tall.
I have yet to address the finer detail on the greave armour.....
Interesting that this rendering has taken the team seven years to build. I've only been working in mine for 4.5 years so far.
-
I absolutely impressed. this is a really innovative and challenging project. I can only say. keep it up!
-
Raison d'être:
The business end of the Emperor Titan is it's massive arm weapons.
For too long I have put off finishing up these bad boys and not realizing the primary purpose of lengthening the legs. The guns were hanging too low and interfering with the hip joints or so I thought. In actuality the thighs were just too short.

Now we can see the preparation for the gatling cannon mount device which is greatly modified from the original mount bracket.

I've only just started the second gun mount but I thought it would be best to show it in the beginning stage.
-
Multi-Barrel Weapon:
I'm trying to rationalize a multi-barrel weapon that looks like a gatling gun but does not rotate.
Something like this:

Let me know what you think.
I don't even know what kind of projectile this thing shoots but judging by the end of the barrels the shot is oval. I'm not going there. I draw the line at an oval shot.
I like the idea of a rotating chamber and I'll keep that but I also prefer the weapon mount disk over the bracket mount seen below:

The Bracket mount just looks too plain and ugly.

The top view looks Okay

All in all, not a bad day's work.
I just have to rationalize the barrels and the cylinder arrangement.
-
I like the picture and plan to incorporate many of it's features. I was recently apprised it is an energy weapon. And of course the scale is way off, but the individual details are quite worthy.
Meanwhile:
I found some of my old images as well and decided to play around with one.
My old Photo Impact 13 program produced this in an hour or so:
