So after receiving a couple of PM's from board members and others telling me straight out that they want one, I have decided to make a project log of how I get on with this amazing model. First of all, the building of this beast should be ideally finished by no later than 12 noon on Friday. After that it should be safely packed away, ready for transportation to Fosters house. The painting will in all likely hood take a lot longer. After a long wait (3days!!) a UPS man knocked on my door this afternoon and brought me that which I have awaited. I tore the box open and immediately started to lift out the bags of parts. That's when I noticed the weight. This model is hefty to say the least and very sturdy, but that adds to the overall effect of the Titan. With the set came a lovely certificate with a unique number for my Titan and a big red stamp telling me I am a traitor. The cast is beautiful and as you'd expect the details are beyond amazing. I have so far assembled the feet. It took me four hours and a little but of a change if plan half way through foot number two but the feet are done! This means that the legs will have to wait til tomorrow. Sleepy time! Getting prepped: Attachments:

And scratchcards Paradill you are really tempting me to buy a second one now!......or a Reaver.... You've done we'll with the feet so far, the right one though that's being lifted, are you raising the actual foot up at an angle? At the moment it doesn't look right. I know it's only dry fitted though

Foot was rectified last night, I'll go a better shot later so you can see, hopefully with the leg and hip assembly!

Fighting through the plague that father Nurgle has granted me, I have worked upon my Titan some more. Leg and hip assembly completed. Time to try the feet! Hopefully more incoming soon. Attachments:

Just to attest to how well balanced this model is, the legs are standing in the feet with no glue, blue tac or any other form of support. Attachments:

Yep. Lets hope the ague of death passes before then, allowing me to finish him. I can do the torso and head tomorrow, the weapons tomorrow night/Friday morning and hope it doesn't topple over when its assembled all together

It will be toppled on Saturday.

Haha! Toppled like the Eiffel Tower! Your Titan is the one that is coming down. Plasma blastguns to the face tend to do that. Loyalist dog!

Paradill, maybe you shouldn't build the Titan. You may cry when Foster and the mighty Imperium destroy your traitorous Titan scum! I still want one!

It will wipe out his army, then stop for a cigar.
