They look good so far. They could be a litlle big, I'm not sure. If you go by the forgeworld one you can't go to far astray.

[person person]

Some size comparison?

So far so good, keep it goin'
Respects, Emperorsaxe

[dagonis]

Tbh, if you get bored with this, those could make some sweet terrain pieces.

I envy your plasticard skills, I lack ability and patience when it comes to that material.

[mrphatman]

looking good can't wait to see more

Also heres all the parts that ive done so far except for the shin armour which i plan to add detail but not to sure what detail to use. I thought maybe the aquila on one leg. What do you think :scratch: ?

[Rapture]

I always think about starting a large scale project just for the challenge but then I see all of the gaps you have filled in and all of the precise cuts that had to be made, so I'l just watch and stick to building infantry.

[person person]

How are you gonna do thi thighss/upper legs?

[rkiviman]

Looks good. Keep going!!

[Nighthaunter]

[fuzzbuket]

you will need to fix those legs cause it looks like its taking a dump!
The quality's fantastic (my paper dread is sad!)

[Lerra]

It's looking really good.

What kind of pose are you going for? Static "stand and shoot", or are you planning to make it more of "fighting stance" with one foot in front of the other?

[Nighthaunter]

il be going for a fighting stance. As i think that would look best

[Lindargo]

Id pull the legs inward slightly, and turn one so that the Titan appears to be moving or turning to fire.
Lindargo,

[Nighthaunter]

[Lord Inquisitor]

The straightened leg look much better.

[Nighthaunter]

Hi ya folks a small update began working on the main torso i know it isint much to look at but once ive done the basic shape of tt he titan i will then begin to add detail.

unfortunatly im away this weekend so this will be my last update till Tuesday.

Anyway here is the start of the torso

[person person]

Good start, doesn't look too sturdy, ATM at least.

[Nighthaunter]

After spending 3 hours trying to figure out how best to do the torso (the templates sucks at this part) i have come up with this

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Deathbolts/TorsoWiP4-1.jpg
http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Deathbolts/TorsoWiP5.jpg
http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Deathbolts/TorsoWiP6.jpg

there will be a top plate followed by ribs to hold the carapace armour where there are gaps in the sides of the torso the weapon arm shoulders will go here.

[Lord Inquisitor]

Doesn't look that bad. Keep up the work I'm anxious to see this finished.

[Lerra]

The legs look great :) A huge improvement. I can't wait to see the torso finished.

[Nighthaunter]
