Lady_Mournival Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 yeah.... small lets go with that..... well the object (or foot as I would like to call it ;) ) is quite small and very niceley painted and put together, but the project as a whole...... well as I said: small lets go with that.

Morticon Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Foam card bud. No ways I have Forge World money to spend on my hobby ^_^ :P unless youre talking about flying to foreign countries to play. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135562-morts-warhound-titan/#findComment-1561967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Why not try what I'm doing. Put $50 a month aside in a small box on top of my bookshelf as savings for a titan. In about a year, you'll be like, "oh, they didn't come out with a plastic titan yet, then I'll buy the FW one."

Morticon Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Could do that...but....guess id rather model it at this point in my life..since the money used for a FW titan can actually fly me to a foreign country from here >_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135562-morts-warhound-titan/#findComment-1561982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor1313 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'd've guessed at it being foam board, but mostly from the WIP photos. Looks bloody fine to me. I'd love to know what kind of planning/schematic-ing you've done on the project; it looks pretty meticulous. Plus, it looks a LOT easier on the wallet than a bleeding FW titan. (...for what you pay for a Titan, I'm reasonably sure I could get at least 3,000 points of army pieced together with most codices.) ...which isn't to say FW doesn't do a fine product, but I'm more with Mort on building a titan for a more...reasonable...price. ($500+ on one thing is halfway across the world on a plane, or even a craptastic used car).

Morticon Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'd love to know what kind of planning/schematic-ing you've done on the project; it looks pretty meticulous. ;) umm....yeah...planning...schematicanating....erm... ^_^ >_< Nah dude....maybe I should be doing planning..but...ive only ever built a drop pod before and although not awful- it wasnt nice. Wish I had this foam core stuff then >_< So yeah...Im sadly not doing any kind of planning at the moment and just taking it as it comes- painting the base colours in the meanwhile to keep my curiosity and interest peeked. Usually im a build then paint person- but..im taking it slowly at the moment.

Raptor1313 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 heh. I can't honestly say I'd be doing a project that big much differently, either, except I might not be painting it step-by-step. As long as I could pull off everything more or less in proportion, I'd call it a solid win for me. Are you going for a specific titan legion, or just having fun with the paintjob? (I'd attempt to ID it, but I'm not really up on the Titan legion colors.) EDIT: On materials, one thing I keep meaning to make Drop Pods out of are the half-dozen contact lens fluid containers I have. They're about 3" in diameter and 7-8" tall, and with some fins added to the outside and labels stripped, they'd probably do fine as pods. As I think about it, they'd also probably work as titan torso-bits, or leg-bits for something other than a Warhound.

Apocalyp$e Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I like the hydraulics... they look realistic. Kudos to you for building your own, I think forgeworld prices are absolutely criminal in comparison to the horrendous products they send out. I almost exclusively mold, cast, build my own models now...

Morticon Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 One mid-leg section done and based. Front angle. http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/7130/pap0201wm8.jpg Side angel. http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4244/pap0202tb6.jpg Now a more important matter- i was fiddling about and did this to the other shin armour plate >_< I dont know which one I prefer. Any thoughts or advice? http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/6338/pap0199vv6.jpg http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/7012/pap0200zj2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135562-morts-warhound-titan/#findComment-1563224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost Knight Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 very cool i think i like the 1st shin plate better because it looks more dangerous. Just a thought you could maybe modify it a little and call it a Lucian titan (Lucian being my name and all :)) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135562-morts-warhound-titan/#findComment-1563260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor1313 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I like the second shin pad and the trim. It looks a little more marine-like; and part of what makes marines great (or maybe a little crazy; you decide) is the fact that regardless of where they go, they keep to their color schemes. Screw camo, and all that. And besides, with a Titan? You'd need your eyes plucked out to NOT see the thing coming anyway.

Morticon Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Small update - ive based the 2nd foot now and done the armour trim on both legs. Ive also mocked up the second mid-leg section. I have NO idea how im gonna get the mid leg to stick to the lower and top leg >_< Im considering magnets- but sadly that will take some time/more money - theyre not cheap in Japan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135562-morts-warhound-titan/#findComment-1563945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
