Damn fine job sir, im loving how this is turning out. I might have to get one of those bad boys...or some kind of giant robot model to proxy until i can afford one ^^

*reppers*

Wow, just joined this thread, and I must say that is one fantastic titan.
I'd love to see it fight, as long as I wasn't on the table at the same time.
Keep up the great work,
rep.

Kid-Blue and darcchipmunk, thanks for the praise and rep (nudged me up to 7th!).

It will only have rust spots in places of wear. I imagine the dark mechanicus that look after these beasts wold see that its still fully functional while rusty and not both reparing it until its in need.

I would rep but as usual I need to spread some of my Inquisitorial love...but I hope the thought counts

*Draws powerfist, delivers punishment*

If you are going to GW HQ one sunday I might be able to pop down and you can use my pigments and Ill show you how to use them. It saves you money.

Ill probabley be going down 02/11/08 next.

Thanks a lot guys.

Dude you have no idea how tempting that is... However, living at the bottom of England prevents me from doing so. Unfortunately I just don't have the resources to travel up to Nottingham. Yet...

Day train tickets arent expensive. The LO meet 09 should encourage you to get out of your fortress.

Well, been messing around with the paints again. Done some more on the underneath of the chin and taken a picture that is visable to the eye.
I did some rust on the 'faceplate' to, but I went OTT on it and needed to remove some of the rusted holes.

Very beautiful sir. Have you thought of taking some guardsman and having them strapped on as trophies like the Daemon Prince picture from the old rule book? ill get the img and post it here ^^

just a suggestion that i think would look awesome, especially with some old decayed guts so warn into the feet that they cant be whiped off ever =P

[danjones87]

Well Kid-Blue, Im going to look at adding trophies at a later stage. There will probabley be some Imperial fist heads warped in barb wire and skulls and such.

Anyhow, here is a view from either side of the face. There is the glass in the eye sets, it will recieve some bullet holes and some dirty dust patches too. mainly on these pictures you can see the rust effects from the pigments.

Looking fine buddy.
That rust looks awesome, were the MIGs easy to use?
The matte-ness against the shiny metal really sells it, though perhaps a few little spots of shine still poking through would look fun too.

I still think that top plate is a little bright, but maybe that's just me.
Could we get a pic with it against the top carapace, to compare?

Thanks mate. Im thinking about buying a soft lead pencil to rub over it. A normal pencil might do for now.

Mig pigments were alot harder to use than I expected. Instead of applying them with a brush I used a cotton bud and neated it up with the brush. The effect is softer.

Expect a rust tutorial for your new forum!

Which top plate? The Carapace with the star on or the head plate?

I mean just see it all together, so we can see how the head fits in to the rest of the body and model.

I'm looking forward to the tutorial!
