Titanic Post!

Well I got my titan in my hot little hands. Sadly it did not survive shipping very well, and arrived with many broken toes, ankles, and elbows.

That said after a night of pinning and gluing it is looking mighty fine...and freaking huge!

Pics to come, once I figure out where my cable is for my camera.

I Got a Titan!

Ok I officially own a Titan now. An armorcast Reaver showed up to my house yesterday. I am tempted to dive right in, but I am going to hold off until the FW order comes in, as I would like to make use of my Brass Etched purchases to dress the titan up a little bit.

My plan, loose as it is now, is to do my Reaver first, then tackle the Warhound with some practice under my belt.

I am going to do the reaver up with its included weapons. When it is done, I will be custom building some new weapons for it, as I want it to have 8 Turbolasers when all is said and done. This thing is going to be a titan/stompa/superheavy killer.

I am still unsure whether to wait for the Shadowsword kit to come out for the turbolasers from it, or make my own out of plasticard?

Time will tell and I'll see where I am at in the build/paint process to make my decision, but I am leaning towards waiting until the Shadowsword comes out.

Thats all for now!

Oh and Sens won tonight!! (7 out of 8 points heading into the All-Star Break)

FW Order is Placed!

Yep the big order is out, and likely already shipped. Can't wait until next week!

I will do the armorcast reaver first, so I can get my feet wet before starting work on the FW Warhound.

This what I hope to achieve with the Armorcast titan...(credit to Bell of Lost Souls for the image). See right.

The warhound from FW is going to be a bit tougher and I am hearing all sorts of horror stories from people on Dakkadakka from people who have built them. But I am patient with my projects and plan to take my time on it, I'll throw some update as I work on it for sure.

For another look at my progress I am running a P/M Blog on DakkaDakka which can be found here.

Comments (support to finish!) and suggestions would be we welcome as I work on the project.

Below is what the lovely order that was placed with FW this week. Bear in mind I have a lot of items for other people on their, its not all mine...though I could use a lot of it...hmmm lost in the mail anyone?

Forge World a Go-Go!

Alrighty, order is placed, and after a quick call to them this morning all is set and it should be shipped today or tomorrow, whenever my credit card clears.

*Giggle* Soon to be an owner of not one, but 2 titans, possibly both arriving on the same day *Giggle*

I think X-Mas is overrated :)

Back on track for '09

Alright this is the year I pay attention to this blog.

I promise!

Really!

Ok so I'll likely forget this and ignore the blog like every year, but I do have projects to work on :)

I have a new Armorcast Reaver Titan due in the mail in the next week, and a shiny new Warhound titan due in 3-4 weeks :)

The armourcast Reaver is the bigger of the two, but I imagine it will be much, much easier to assemble and paint than the warhound.
