AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he's off! Any chance you can post your 'epic pile of bits on desk' picture with a piece crossed out each time you do something? At this stage it would be hillarious ;D I love the blue, its really nice and deep. Edit: I did it, for motivational purposes. You can do it Cosmic, you can do it alllll niiight looooong! Another edit: Just because I'm bored

Just no haha Thanks Dave With all this whipping and being forced to paint I really do feel like I'm the resident IGMB pet! Anyway, in fear of being beaten again, here's some pictures to look at... Head- FinishedIt's hard to see the full effect but there is some OSL on the Princeps and the Moderati.. Cosmic

First rate as usual. Now paint the rest... NAO! Love the screen glow, I think if it'd been any more 'glowy' it wouldn't have looked as good. As for the head, it looks f%^&$ng scary.... In a good way

First rate as usual. Now paint the rest... What happens if I don't? Thanks Orcidas It's better than pink! I'm glad you approve I have no explanation Thanks Dave I have another update construction wise.... Foot AssemblyLets just say, that the whole leg assembly is EPIC!! So many ways to assemble it, with every piston individual, but I came across a problem... I wanted to paint the actual Toes Red, so needed to paint them seperately, but it would be easier to paint the actual leg and foot as one whole block. So, I built the foot and then came the toes and pistons. I used the toes as a guide and glued the piston to the......other...toe...thingy-ma-jig.......and then once that had dried, the piston was in place so I can paint the toes seperately and then they can slot into place once everythings painted..... If that was too confusing, then hopefully the the pictures will explain.... And now here's a summary of the pieces used so far... Cosmic

Sweet mother of the omnissiah! Quite a project. And it would be perfect for an apoc game. The amount of parts, though.. It just urinate all over a baneblade.

That's a serious amount of resin, cockpit's looking good, bring on the rest mate. It is indeed and thank you. I'm going as fast as I can, master!! Thanks Chem. I've never built a Baneblade but I'm pretty sure it's nothing compared to this! Cheers I will do! Halfway UpdateRight lads, everything has been built in their sections and have just had a light spray of black. I need to finish the basecoats and then hopefully it'll be done by next week. However, I have discovered that GW paints are absolute pants when used through an Airbrush. They dry too quickly, even when watered down so I'm having a nightmare sparaying the pieces, but I'll keep at it!

They dry too quickly, even when watered down so I'm having a nightmare sparaying the pieces, but I'll keep at it! I find that diluting them 50-70% with water worked well with my Pasche airbrush. They may be a bit watery, though, and require multiple layers to get even coverage...

Thanks trooper I gave my Airbrush a thorough cleaning and then thinned my paint supply a bit more and it worked much better, still a few things I need to tinker with though. Legs AssemblyWell as I said earlier, the legs have been completed. I've just has an Airbrush undercoat session and got most of the parts done. Just the odd bits here and there and then I can get some proper paint on. One thing I can say is that this Titan has some sexy legs! ....... And this is where the magic happens....... *Futurama Al Gore voice*- 'Peace out Y'all!' Cosmic
