[@jacobfoster9185]

😂 I used a large Ork to hide my support rod. Drilling the hole THROUGH his raised up in defense arms through his body and legs . His screaming face looking up at the bottom of the titan's foot where he can see the squished bits of some of his comrades who'd shared the end he was about to experience. 😂 I also made imprints of the feet in clay to make a path of his previous steps. Each one having a racer battle bike squished with some Snotlings😂 in one footprint there's a half squished ork on one side and a half squished space Marine on the other. He's heading into a dreadnought

This stuff is why 3d printing has taken over, much higher quality, lower prices, and just an all-around better product.

[@rytramprophet843]

This video here just may have given me inspiration to do a whole new style of modeling. Taking a model like this. generating a blueprint for said model using CAD or a freemium alternative. and then reproduce the entire thing from scratch by just using sheet metal and other metal components to make all of the parts. each individual panel will be a a piece cut, ground, bent, and attached. Just like making a real life miniature. It would take a LOT of time. but a person like me who has ADHD and has no problem hyper-focusing on a single task just may appreciate a healthy time sink.

[@papazoulou9326]

Since you were talking about ideas, you could add a small shrine on top of the missile launcher (like to bless the missiles or something, with a servitor/statue with a dove head inside). Something not too big, very gothic (like in the Ravenwing Dark Talon or the land speeder vengeance kit).

[@Handsomesal]

I've never played the 40K table top game. I became fascinated with the lore more or less by accident on KZbin. Lately I've been checking out the way hardcore players buy, build and paint their 40K armies. For starters it is astonishing to me that $1400 only buys you a model kit. As a person who struggles to screw in a lightbulb and has never owned a tool the ability to build these models seems like witchcraft to me. The patience, the attention to detail that is required to build a playable army is fascinating to me and the expense is kind of mind boggling. Finally the painting is what I find most interesting. I simply could not do it with any reasonable degree of quality. My hands are the size of toilet seats and my ADHD precludes me from ever fully committing to playing the game. I would never in a million years have guessed that I would find this kind of content so entertaining.

11:20 now here’s a thought… it makes it limited to when kinds of enemies you can use [or make interchangeable ones] For how heavy and big it is you should make it look like it recently stepped on a enemy, so you have like mangled body parts on the ground and stringy/stretched out blood’n guts attached to the bottom of its foot By doing that it adds a lot more Detail/Intimidation , you can use some leftover pieces from other kits and the stretched out gore would hide the pole perfectly in my opinion 😁

Pardon my ignorance as I haven't put together models before, but why is like a third of the mass of the parts just blocks attached to the actual pieces that you have to remove? "Resin gates", I think he called them? What's the purpose of that being there? I could understand if it was some small byproduct of the casting process that the company decided it would be cheaper to make the end user remove, but some of those look almost as bulky as the piece they're attached to. That's a lot of waste I would think?

Great build! You really went all the way on making it sturdy with the threaded rods and pins. Looking great! :) I can't help but think that if Bandai made a kit for a GW Titan it would be all poseable with moving pistons, replaceable options for weapons and everything would snap fit without glue. It could even be pre-designed to fit an LED kit. GW really should collaborate for that now that they already made Space Marine action figures and are part of the IP. Using Bandai just for completed action figures which aren't the thing they do best is a bit of a waste really. Or why not let Joytoy make action figs that are Titans in tabletop scale, then sell resin add-ons for more detail for those.

13:44- That is definitely a big boy!!! Don’t get me wrong! But did you say that “was the biggest” or is it “the 2nd biggest”??? Only reason I’m asking is because I saw picture that had a bunch knights like this…… but 1 towered over all! I would say (depending on how high the table is and how tall you are) it was about a foot taller than that! At least!! But it could have been a completely custom job!?!

This is why prices in general are going up in the world, people justify it.... However, great work, i do enjoy your enthusiasm for your hobby and its always fun to see the in process! I could see argument it would be worth the price AFTER all the work you put into it! Amazing job!

Damn, man. Kudos for getting your dream model and giving it the professional workover. I've only done a couple of the smaller ones like a Hierodule. Even then I put in less work than was probably warranted. Got 'em used because there was no way I was paying GeeDubs hundreds of dollars for a product whose quality is comparable to dollar store toys.

Watching videos like these always gets me thinking of buying one. Then I remember the pricetag, the manhours it needs and the fact that it wont get much play and I get back to my senses. Still a very nice build. Sad that it isn't in Krytos colours...

probbably done and over with, but suggestions for hiding the bolt in the lifting foot, falling dirt and debris from the underside of the foot or have it stepping over a small fortification

Your rationale for not including the interior was a neat little segway to your sponsor but it also served the dual purpose of weight reduction, if only slightly. Nice work 😉

Can I just say ... absolutely amazing job putting together an epic model. Truly amazing what you did and total kudos to you for your effort and your skill,,, but,,, $1400.00 and you needed to do all that added work to put it together ... kinda piss poor on Forge World's part for selling a model at such a high end price that offered such little customer satisfaction from right out of the box? Someone with your skills totally made it rock and look damned amazing,, but someone without those level of skills (yeah I'm gonna say, like ME) would have ended up wasting A WHOLE lotta money!

You are a brave man. I could never do that. Bear in mind I assembled the old Armorcast Titans. The Warhound, the Reaver, the Phantom the Revenant (I think), the Great Gargant and a number of superheavy tanks including the Baneblade, Tempest and several Tyranid warmachines. Armorcast's Reaver titan (IIRC) had only 14 or 15 pieces total. Now admittedly, AC's Reaver was nowhere near as detailed as the Forge World model. Also the FW Reaver looks roughly 30% bigger than the old AC version. Even my old Gargants were approximately 20 inches tall or so. Now, the Eldar Phantom titan was TALL. Pretty sure taller than the FW Reaver. Can't remember, but I think it was around 26 inches tall.
