Halloween Express = Good place to find a Traitor Titan cockpit!

Now that most of the woodworking is done I'll be shifting to the cosmetic aspect of finishing the titan.
I have decided to make the Titan's parts interchangeable. The cockpit and weapons will be swappable so it can be either a Warlord or Banelord Titan. This way I stay true to my original project but leave myself a way out. Cause I don't like crazy titans!
Today I went out shopping for fiddly bitz that would go on the... Read More

Today I was able to assemble the shoulder units. My dad came up with the idea of cutting slots in the torso to fit the shoulder to it. While not a wargamer he found the project interesting and wanted to help. There he is using his milling machine putting in the slots the shoulder boxes will be sitting in.
I think it came out pretty close to the original picture I've been working off of.... Read More

And I'll form the legs...or rise my creation and walk!!! Mua ha ha ha!!!

The shins, thighs and pelvis are now assembled. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get the ankles put together before my appointment. The torso will have to be taken apart.

Heh heh heh...

Song names and lyrics are always bouncing through my mind steering my designs. Well after a dispute with a bunch of readers as to who was better GWAR... Read More

As Iron Worker pointed out in a previous post you could have saved nearly 75% on a plastic Nob and Terminator just by buying the latest issue of White Dwarf magazine. And IMO the articles for 40k in it actually means you are buying the two minis for $6 not the magazine. Don't get me wrong, there are nice pictures but that's about it. I don't play Warhammer Fantasy nor do I play LotrR. I like Tolkien, just not the miniature game.
Anyways in my never ending quest to be the worlds cheapest gamer... Read More
