Laeradex Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 i've just finished throwing together my titan, which is a bit bigger than a warhound, but not as big as a reaver. i was sat at my desk, surfing t'internet, when i stumbled upon a picture of a scratch built titan. I had, obviously, heard of these before, but never thought about giving it a shot myself. However, this picture just screamed to me BUILD YOUR OWN. Thus, I glanced around my room, and seeing nothing useful (apart from a discarded volcano cannon), went to our attic and dug out an old captain scarlet skybase playset. I proceded to strip this down, removing everything useful. I started with the feet first and worked my way up, pausing only to think how to do the head. I liked to look of the reaver one, so mine's head is influenced by that. The titan is now in my garage, with the spray paint drying. Not a bad days work, to say i started at about 3pm... I will post pictures when I've figured out how to upload them (first time y'see) EDIT: I've just read this through, and it sounds like a recipe for disaster. Is not that bad, trust me.

sgtNACHO Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Put the pictures on photobucket, then under URL link ((i believe, its the one at the bottom)) underneath the picture, copy that whole code, and just paste it into your message. Then we can all see your wonderful model :D I'd have to see it before saying much of anything else. Although the fact that you actually made a scratch built titan is A for effort! Brownie points for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I look forward to seeing some pics, i've got the skybase rotting away in my loft too. If it works i might have to give it a go myself! Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavulg Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 It's actually pretty neat. Problem is, it doesn't look very Imperial, and the obviously bashed together nature of it makes it seem Orky. Still, points for, you know. Building a Titan.

Terminatorinhell Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I do like the shade of purple, and the titan could use a bit of work, but still, you built it! Props for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDuke Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 My only gripe with the titan is on its legs...in my mind they should be hinged about halfway down to actually le the damn thing walk, other than that its a good effort. As for your painting, I think you are being too critical - at the very least the paint is all in the lines and it comes across as being very neat. The colours work well together and produce a striking scheme. Keep it up ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up :) wow, thanks. the legs were hinged, but they keep slipping, and i cant get any superglue down in the joint. i tryed to do it with an obvious joint, like a cylinder, but it wasnt strong enough and the torso and upper legs kept snapping off. its got the go-ahead from the majority of my gaming group, so its all good! ^_^ :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtNACHO Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think the torso just needs some horizontal going on. Give the head a more outwards appearance and the back outwards as well (Warhound) Also if you can get a bend in the legs you'd be perfect! Still like to point out that even if you don't do anything more, or ever add these revisions on a second, you still BUILT A TITAN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laeradex Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 it broke. :tu: i was fixing its dodgey ankles, when the torso etc fell off, and smashed on my desk... :P But still, never one to be defeated by failure, I have procceded to fix some of the things you guys came up with. The torso is slightly thicker, the head sticks out more, it has knee joints, and is more secure at the hips. pictures when i can find my camera...
