Once again Cosmic, between you and Trooper, you guys are by far some the best painters I've seen. 'Eavy Metal teammates? Haha quite possibly! Sorry Major, you'll have to wait til tomorrow for some pictures! You're the 3rd to have decided to now buy a Titan, this is going well! I would definitely say it's worth it. I've only had the Warhound for 6 days, and it's very nearly finished and I've done it all in one go. But I work very quickly and to a good standard. It's up to you how you would want to work. You of course need to take time on it, otherwise you won't get a good finish and it'll be a waste of £300. But I will say that everyone needs to buy one at some stage it's a great model and very rewarding to build. Quick UpdateThe outside panels have all been basecoated so I expect it to be completed by next wednesday. The interior has been started and I'm happy with how it's going. More pictures tomorrow if you're all lucky Thank you for all of your support everyone who is folloowing this Cosmic

Perfection takes time Cosmic, although you do have face perfection Thats a nice update, love the computer screen, has a nice glow about it. LOL im sure your Girlfriend will understand that its for a good couse hahaha Theres nothing like feeding your enemy with a false sense of security by saying " I love you very,very,very much! xxx" Nice touch ;D all it needs on the end is * Now you must die, sorry! xxx* Oh I had a word with the lads (my Vostroyans) and they said that a titan wouldn't fit in with the rest of the army so I made deal and we have both agreed on have a Minotaur Super heavy instead. keep it coming Cosmic Major Downer

Slow? You have done most of the painting on a Warhound in less than a week... That's not slow, Cosmic, that's EPIC! Can't wait to see more photos...

Somehow turning your girlfriend's teddy into a Titan does not seem like a very good idea cosmic ....... But maybe if you get her to field it along with some guardsmen it may be epic, they could even have have black fatuiges and pink flack armour...... anyhow, titan progression is great as per usual Dave

Although if you get one for yourself and do it we will clap and cheer, and pencil it onto the IGMB Legio Ursus battle roster I agree with 1974: The progress is at a good pace, and the quality hasn't suffered I imagine that when I get one, I will be similarly obsessed with it and paint nothing else for a week or two either I think it's great that your woman is showing an interest, mine simply asks why I'm not painting anything red (her favourite colour)....

If I got a titan it would probably take me two years to finish....
I should probably finish my Baneblade first. Lol.

I'm sorry everyone but I don't have any new pictures to show you at the moment. Painting is still happening but it's slowed right down due to work, my Grandad being very ill and my sister being diagnosed annorexic. However I will provide you with an up to date written assessment of the current Warhound status..... Written Update- After dryfitting the main body pieces I have noticed that the left side (facing the Titan) is slightly lower than the right. It's not too bad when viewed from any other angle however and to be honest I just want to finish it so I'm not going to try and adjust anything.
- The interior painting is about 70% complete and is looking pretty goood.
- I'm working on a banner to hang from the groin armour but I think that will take a back seat for the moment until after the main thing is finished.
Hopefully I'll get some pictures up tomorrow so stay tuned. Cosmic

I'M BACK!!!! ;D I'm sorry for the lack of updates lately, I haven't been doing it on purpose, just been busy with other things. But now I've started up again properly UpdateI have been looking at my shelf above my desk and how crammed and messy it looks with all my models, so I had a brain wave. Instead of making a base just for the Warhound, I have been given permission by me parents that I can turn the whole shelf into a scene So after a trade with Major Downer for 2 Bastions and 3 Aegis Defence Lines... I came up with a simple yet possibly effective shelf/diorama/display thing........ /\ /\ /\ The ripped up polystyrene is just a quick base to create and uneven outcrop. This will be layered with 'modrock', plaster covered mesh strips that you soak. Using a combination of the modrock and filler it should create a nice rocky texture. One of the Bastions will sit on top of this. /\ /\ /\ In front of this will be a few Aegis Defence Lines spread either side of the road (which you can just see underneath the Titans feet) /\ /\ /\ They will continue out to about this point (where the filler starts to stop) \/ \/ \/ /\ /\ /\ I'm not sure what'll go at this end, maybe just debris and craters, thoughts? /\ /\ /\ The Road. This will remain 'unsanded' to show that it's been trodden and driven down to the rock beneath. Sand will be spread over everything else mainly. /\ /\ /\ I'm going to take some of my old white Cadians off of their bases and have them in the diorama too \/ \/ \/ So keep an eye out people for more updates. Also I'd like thoughts and ideas Cosmic
