The only superglue I trust is ZapperGap. It can take time to glue Resin but it'll hold! It's extreme power is second to none and I have used so many other super glue. I'd recommend to give it a try :)
@EonsOfBattle Around minute 5:50 you show a case with gorgeous blue ork kommandos kill team and i'm freaking out about them. I have to paint my ork kommandos soon so i was looking for the video where you painted those but couldn't find it, could you point it out for me? Thanks
😂 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
£1400 for something made of resin, you have to clean yourself, drill, add bits, remove bits and on top of that parts don’t even fit together without heat manipulation. GW is an absolute joke at this point. Anyone spending this kind of money without having an income from it (youtube channel), seriously needs their head looking at. You could buy a 3D printer for that money and print your own models til your hearts content
Imagine buying this for your kid, thinking its gonna be the the gift of a lifetime and then he needs the better part of an engineering degree plus an entire workshop to build it.
I built it too, for around £55 of resin. Indistinguishable from the forgeworld model. Saved me over £1300. Printer more than paid for itself with 1 single model.
Wait, your not allowed to use it if it is 3D printed though right? I am new to 40K (my friend is the expert, I just like the models) so I might be wrong/
@hypno9022 makes sense. I don't agree with 40K's (company) rules with 3d prints, but didn't know rules if you went to go play a game outside of you or your friends house.
@@RetlocGaming In official tournaments no I believe not. However in warhammer world nottingham, they have quite a few "official" 'evy metal painted models that are obvious 3d prints with the print lines visible etc... So they are very hypocritical about it all.
I spent 2300 bucks on rebuilding my PC, and all I had to do was connect some wires, install some software, and import my old settings. 1400 dollars for something that took you HOURS just to get into a state where you could even begin test fitting parts is criminal. This stuff is why 3d printing has taken over, much higher quality, lower prices, and just an all-around better product. Mad props to you for putting in the effort, I only dealt with small scale Forgeworld resins when I was still into 40k, and those were bad enough, I can't imagine how bad it was on something that scale.

I've never played the 40K table top game. I became fascinated with the lore more or less by accident on RUclips.

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.
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).
It would be really cool to have little bits of freehand alluding to encounters with each of your other armies! Like the crew painted an intricate iron cross to commemorate that one time they joined the Black Templars on crusade, kill counters of ork skulls along one gun for that time the titan stood it's ground against the Mad Max Orks, some kind of symbol or freehand across the leg to remember all of the Tyranids that were crushed beneath it's lumbering feet and so on....I bet you could come up with some awesome stuff!
@@ethanshepherd2267My grandfather , father and uncle are wood workers and I learned from scratch what it means to use sharp and drilling stuff. Long story told you never put your flesh in harms way ever.
I don't have time to hobby anywhere near as much as I would like - I do have time to watch you video's. I really appreciate them and the care and quality that goes into the modelling but also the video themselves. Thank you to the whole team.
mate, ive been renovating my room recently and discovered few 'cool' materials. they do stick to wood pretty well, but you can get some primer/undercoat for it. get yourself either gypsum (you can get one that dries in 15 minutes) or gypsum finish. its cheap in large quantities, and works like a charm for smoothing, or even casting
To hide the rod under the foot, you could use a crushed Tyranid or other large creature and use Uhu glue to make a bunch of stringy blood and guts affect like it's a bug stuck to the bottom of the foot.
The whole time I was watching this I was just absolutely shocked at all the effort you gotta put in for a kit thats over a grand and those instructions looked absolutely god awful. Gunpla builders rly do have it good
@@XxCalypsoxX616thinking the same thing but I come from the military aircraft tank building world…. Holy hell the extra steps are insane. Never made me appreciate Tamiya so much….. Also I am marveling at this gentleman’s skill and creativity…… to put it simply the dude has some serious skills……
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?
I was so glad to see lestoil. About 25 year ago we couldnt find it anymore. My mom found 1 last place and ought all they had. That lasted for more than a decade - but we couldnt find more. We thought it was gone.
Watching this really makes me understand why midwinter mini’s basically screwed on every part of his warlord Titan and then further reinforced it. Imagine how amazing these models could be if remade with modern engineering and techniques
I would consider myself a pretty invested hobbyist. This however, has scared me away from anything at all this size! The amount of work, well done man!
If you do another you may want to think about putting smaller bases for em, I did two just a little later then feet, makes it easier to fit on a table with other mini's
You need so much more attention. Your videos are the best warhammer videos of all out there. you go straight to the topic from the beginning and theres no useless information about something else. everything is just on point. I can imagine that you´re putting hard work into everything. I hope it gets paid of as deserved. Keep it up
Alright.... Your dedication, execution and happiness displayed while essentially being a day laborer for a hobby is infectious. Ima tackle my next kit and try to emulate your mentality. It can be daunting at times.
My sides almost started hurting from laughter when I saw your sawzall, seeing a tool I've used in demolition work used for a model project is a crazy juxtaposition
Hey Jay, Just a heads up. Lestoil has pine oil in it and that may prevent paint from sticking properly. I would wash that again with a degreaser before painting if you haven't already.
Idea for the raised foot, if you’re planning on doing a resin pour to make it look like water underneath then you could make it look like water is pouring off the foot as you lift it, and use that to cover up the screw
Suggestion: Roughen up spots with high grit sandpaper or a knife anywhere 2 parts meet that are going to be held together with resin or glue. Gives the material a little more surface area to grab and hold onto.
Somehow found this exactly 1 minute after being posted. Awesome. Also, I'd love to see you tackle the Leviathan Dreadnought one of these days. Awesome model.
I spent 35.00 on resin and 3D printed one and yes it was a exact scan of one. Even hollowed it was still weighty. Even if you spent 400.00 on a printer and 40.00 into resin that leaves a big savings.
This was epic. You really knock it out of the park with your videos. It’s never just “I did this, then this, then this” you’re always telling us a story 🙌🏼
This is such an entertaining video and I don't know if Jay is trying to be hilarious or just naturally is that way but I was chuckling the whole way through. Plus dude has such a positive vibe, all the time, it's just great. "What did I expect for 1400 bucks?" - classic
Ok, so, i feel bad saying this, but i'm so glad you did this video so i don't have to experience it myself. Thank you though, for staying so positive throughout the whole process. I thnk a kill counter you can kinda update as you play games would be cool. Tanks, titans, and battalions lol. doing red Doves/birds in a firescape would be a hilarious twist on the whole peace ordeal.
My newest guard army is my absolute favorite. I lightly kitbashed a rhino for them because its based on an army from WW1 so i wanted a blocky ass tank for it. Im really happy with how its turning out. I just need a shit ton more shock troops, more tanks, some scions, and sentinels.
SUGGESTION: this would be a personal one for me but with you mentioning doves it sprung to mine. My great uncle fought on HMS Rodney during wwII and the ships motto was “ Non Generant Aquilae Columbas” which translates to “ eagles do not breed doves” . Be cool to have an eagle gripping a dove in its talon. That’s my tattoo idea but would be very cool on your titan too. Great work dude! I love how everyone else’s titan projects are years and you just smash out the building faze in 1 video!!
Oh! Doves holding a banner made out of a Burnout stripe. Maybe texture it like actual rubber on the road. That may be dumb but for some reason has me excited. lol
Could always try a transparent threaded screw for the foot I'd you don't want anything underneath it. Just a thought. Awesome build either way! One day I too shall own a titan.
I really enjoy all the pinning, epoxy, and use of threaded rod in this. :) It's like the hardcore version of me being paranoid reinforcing my kitbashes.
am only a 11 and a half mins into this video but I HAVE to say this might be the best put together titan on the planet. this thing is going to look unreal. Edit: done with the video, this looks so cool the base is AMAZING I can not wait for when you paint it. just a small suggestion for the free hand part. maybe have a cheesy quote written on it, something like "burn baby burn" or "hot to the touch" something corny/cool like that that would feel really on brand for eons of battle etc. am unsure there just ones on the top of my head but am sure someone can think of the perfect one.
I’m 12 and Jesus I can’t imagine putting together something like this, I wouldn’t have the discipline or anything just wondering what army do you have and how much?
I love how we consistently see videos like this, where someone takes a model that costs more than a grand and has to fix it just to build it, yet we still have Resin simps all over this hobby.
Yeah, I feel like anyone who actually buys titans and isn't a content creator is just seriously masochistic. FW are quite literally spitting in the face of anyone willing to spend that much cash on their only real reason to exist.
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!
Give him a purity seal you can actually read with a list of patrons as the names called in creation / list of dead for the patron and add a skull next to each name.
Lovely model. I see the real thing every once in a while just stomping around fields. They don't have much use anymore but they keep em up and running just in case. They are mostly used for tearing down condemned houses and buildings.
Dude! thats dope, I just love it. Somehow I feel like the right leg, shall be little more flexed to give the moving feeling. But making such a miniature, is way ahead of what i can do. I wish I could make a miniature looks so good.
I think it would be really funny if you had a dove carrying an olive branch that is actively on fire. Consumed by the hotrod flames. After all, what is more 40k then burning the concept of peace with the emperors holy flames?
Fun fact! The Adeptus Mechanicus has some special units called Secutarii that are the literal honor guard of the titans. I found out about them recently, they’re super cool looking and a fun lore tidbit
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.
it might be worth piling up some puttie and pressing his down foot into it to help show that the titan is heavy. Sitting on top of the mud without displacing any isnt an obvious detail, but it could add a bit more to it. Especially if the guardsmen are leaving tracks.
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.
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...
I am genuinely amazed that Games Workshop hasn't been destroyed as a company by the fans. Charging that price for a set that doesn't fit together, lacks a base, has so much wasted resin, etc is just criminal.
This is an awesome video, although I did have to laugh when you drilled the Titan like crazy to try and lower the weight then chose “oak” (one of the heaviest woods) as a base.
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!?!
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
"Have you conducted the appropriate rites, Tech Priest?" "Yes Magos, I have played the Lestoil commercial five times to soothe the machine spirit." "Praise the Omnisiah."
Seeing how the quality control of the kit is and the price it’s staggering to even think of this compared to a Perfect Grade Gundam kits ($200-300) or the 1/48 scale kits they sell which are 15” in height, for $100 it’s a wildly different build quality and instruction effort. Honestly wild.

I don't have time to hobby anywhere near as much as I would like - I do have time to watch you video's. I really appreciate them and the care and quality that goes into the modelling but also the video themselves. Thank you to the whole team.
8:00 what a beautiful piece of art
mate, ive been renovating my room recently and discovered few 'cool' materials. they do stick to wood pretty well, but you can get some primer/undercoat for it. get yourself either gypsum (you can get one that dries in 15 minutes) or gypsum finish. its cheap in large quantities, and works like a charm for smoothing, or even casting
To hide the rod under the foot, you could use a crushed Tyranid or other large creature and use Uhu glue to make a bunch of stringy blood and guts affect like it's a bug stuck to the bottom of the foot.
Clever concept, I love it!
This really make me appreciate Bandai and Kotobukia models.
The whole time I was watching this I was just absolutely shocked at all the effort you gotta put in for a kit thats over a grand and those instructions looked absolutely god awful. Gunpla builders rly do have it good
@@XxCalypsoxX616 They respect their hobbyists.
@@XxCalypsoxX616thinking the same thing but I come from the military aircraft tank building world…. Holy hell the extra steps are insane. Never made me appreciate Tamiya so much…..
Also I am marveling at this gentleman’s skill and creativity…… to put it simply the dude has some serious skills……
Possibly the best titan modelling video I've seen... Thanks for respecting the time of your audience and not stringing this out to umpteen episodes.
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?
I was so glad to see lestoil. About 25 year ago we couldnt find it anymore. My mom found 1 last place and ought all they had. That lasted for more than a decade - but we couldnt find more. We thought it was gone.
Watching this really makes me understand why midwinter mini’s basically screwed on every part of his warlord Titan and then further reinforced it. Imagine how amazing these models could be if remade with modern engineering and techniques
I've never even played Warhammer but I couldn't stop watching this. Awesome building skills and model.
I would consider myself a pretty invested hobbyist. This however, has scared me away from anything at all this size! The amount of work, well done man!
Amen, I hate forgeworld stuff, if i spend the insane money that they cost, i want a cleaned up model ready to assemble.
If you do another you may want to think about putting smaller bases for em, I did two just a little later then feet, makes it easier to fit on a table with other mini's
You need so much more attention. Your videos are the best warhammer videos of all out there. you go straight to the topic from the beginning and theres no useless information about something else. everything is just on point. I can imagine that you´re putting hard work into everything. I hope it gets paid of as deserved. Keep it up
Alright.... Your dedication, execution and happiness displayed while essentially being a day laborer for a hobby is infectious. Ima tackle my next kit and try to emulate your mentality. It can be daunting at times.
My sides almost started hurting from laughter when I saw your sawzall, seeing a tool I've used in demolition work used for a model project is a crazy juxtaposition
Hey Jay, Just a heads up. Lestoil has pine oil in it and that may prevent paint from sticking properly. I would wash that again with a degreaser before painting if you haven't already.
Idea for the raised foot, if you’re planning on doing a resin pour to make it look like water underneath then you could make it look like water is pouring off the foot as you lift it, and use that to cover up the screw

Suggestion: Roughen up spots with high grit sandpaper or a knife anywhere 2 parts meet that are going to be held together with resin or glue. Gives the material a little more surface area to grab and hold onto.
Somehow found this exactly 1 minute after being posted. Awesome.
Also, I'd love to see you tackle the Leviathan Dreadnought one of these days. Awesome model.
I spent 35.00 on resin and 3D printed one and yes it was a exact scan of one. Even hollowed it was still weighty. Even if you spent 400.00 on a printer and 40.00 into resin that leaves a big savings.
This was epic. You really knock it out of the park with your videos. It’s never just “I did this, then this, then this” you’re always telling us a story 🙌🏼
This is such an entertaining video and I don't know if Jay is trying to be hilarious or just naturally is that way but I was chuckling the whole way through. Plus dude has such a positive vibe, all the time, it's just great.
"What did I expect for 1400 bucks?" - classic
The guardsmen on the base is brilliant! Really puts it into perspective the sheer enormity of the Titan in scale with the minis.
Ok, so, i feel bad saying this, but i'm so glad you did this video so i don't have to experience it myself. Thank you though, for staying so positive throughout the whole process. I thnk a kill counter you can kinda update as you play games would be cool. Tanks, titans, and battalions lol. doing red Doves/birds in a firescape would be a hilarious twist on the whole peace ordeal.
I admire your courage doing all this on your own! Personally I wouldn't have the discipline, the patience and or the talent to do it. Kudos to you!
I just got the Warlord Titan. I’m scared to build it but after seeing this video I am not as scared as before. Thanks for sharing.
Ridiculous price. Loved seeing your satisfaction and pride as your progressed.
Bro this man is always so happy and positive. A great vibe love to see it
My newest guard army is my absolute favorite. I lightly kitbashed a rhino for them because its based on an army from WW1 so i wanted a blocky ass tank for it. Im really happy with how its turning out. I just need a shit ton more shock troops, more tanks, some scions, and sentinels.
SUGGESTION: this would be a personal one for me but with you mentioning doves it sprung to mine. My great uncle fought on HMS Rodney during wwII and the ships motto was “ Non Generant Aquilae Columbas” which translates to “ eagles do not breed doves” . Be cool to have an eagle gripping a dove in its talon. That’s my tattoo idea but would be very cool on your titan too. Great work dude! I love how everyone else’s titan projects are years and you just smash out the building faze in 1 video!!
This suggestion is badass
8:33 In part two I spend 4 hours getting the sawdust off my books and collectables on the shelf behind me. Can’t believe you did that inside
Average RUclipsr: 50 videos over a year to build.
Jay the Omnesiah: One video in a week on top of his other videos.
Oh! Doves holding a banner made out of a Burnout stripe. Maybe texture it like actual rubber on the road. That may be dumb but for some reason has me excited. lol
Sick, truly my favorite miniature hobby channel
my olny suggestion is doing the torso to the hips before final attachment to legs as you get a lot of movement from the hips placement
When’s someone making a titan out of just resin gates
Could always try a transparent threaded screw for the foot I'd you don't want anything underneath it. Just a thought. Awesome build either way! One day I too shall own a titan.
This video took me from 500% sure I don't want to do a titan to around 1000% sure that I don't want to do a titan.
I really enjoy all the pinning, epoxy, and use of threaded rod in this. :) It's like the hardcore version of me being paranoid reinforcing my kitbashes.
am only a 11 and a half mins into this video but I HAVE to say this might be the best put together titan on the planet. this thing is going to look unreal.
Edit: done with the video, this looks so cool the base is AMAZING I can not wait for when you paint it.
just a small suggestion for the free hand part. maybe have a cheesy quote written on it, something like "burn baby burn" or "hot to the touch" something corny/cool like that that would feel really on brand for eons of battle etc. am unsure there just ones on the top of my head but am sure someone can think of the perfect one.
I’m 12 and Jesus I can’t imagine putting together something like this, I wouldn’t have the discipline or anything just wondering what army do you have and how much?
I love how we consistently see videos like this, where someone takes a model that costs more than a grand and has to fix it just to build it, yet we still have Resin simps all over this hobby.
Yeah, I feel like anyone who actually buys titans and isn't a content creator is just seriously masochistic. FW are quite literally spitting in the face of anyone willing to spend that much cash on their only real reason to exist.
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!
"I'm gonna do it all in one day"
Damn, Jay, I actually believed you for a second.
awesome ! love the video - had some of the same issues with my gargantuan squiggoth - but after seeing this prep time i will not complain anymore :D
This really puts into perspective how resin is not good for large miniatures as it’s way too heavy and extremely expensive
Having significant battle damage would be cool, like even make mini cracks and damage with a plated welded/bolted on over the damage as field repairs
Give him a purity seal you can actually read with a list of patrons as the names called in creation / list of dead for the patron and add a skull next to each name.
I built and painted my first Knight model last week. It took several hours a day over a week, and I couldn't imagine building this damn thing.
GW whales be like- it's worth paying extra for a model developed with prehistoric tech
Lovely model. I see the real thing every once in a while just stomping around fields. They don't have much use anymore but they keep em up and running just in case. They are mostly used for tearing down condemned houses and buildings.
Ah yes the warhammer experience of close up shots of uncut nails
Dude! thats dope, I just love it.
Somehow I feel like the right leg, shall be little more flexed to give the moving feeling.
But making such a miniature, is way ahead of what i can do. I wish I could make a miniature looks so good.
I think it would be really funny if you had a dove carrying an olive branch that is actively on fire. Consumed by the hotrod flames. After all, what is more 40k then burning the concept of peace with the emperors holy flames?
Ooh that's good !!! And it could have a quote under like "your peace is death" or something like that
Fun fact! The Adeptus Mechanicus has some special units called Secutarii that are the literal honor guard of the titans. I found out about them recently, they’re super cool looking and a fun lore tidbit
That mask in not sufficient when dealing with resin . I'm warning you , you will have health issue .
I'm always so amazed with your customisation work!
I'm not much of a war hammer fan I billed 1\35 tanks but I do find your moderling an videos good to watch good work my man keep it up
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.
Dude that sound of the resin gate being thrown made me spit out my coffee. Would love to get the chaos version of this one
it might be worth piling up some puttie and pressing his down foot into it to help show that the titan is heavy. Sitting on top of the mud without displacing any isnt an obvious detail, but it could add a bit more to it. Especially if the guardsmen are leaving tracks.
So happy a friend showed me your page. Love your content.
17:15seems like your missing a peice of the chest/abdomen armor that rectangular slot is an alignment key
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.
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...
I dread building one of these but MAN does it look satisfying to get it all done.
A bit of trial and error with the two pins, some string, and a pencil ellipse technique could help you get a really nice ellipse.
I am genuinely amazed that Games Workshop hasn't been destroyed as a company by the fans. Charging that price for a set that doesn't fit together, lacks a base, has so much wasted resin, etc is just criminal.
This is an awesome video, although I did have to laugh when you drilled the Titan like crazy to try and lower the weight then chose “oak” (one of the heaviest woods) as a base.
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!?!
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
"Have you conducted the appropriate rites, Tech Priest?"
"Yes Magos, I have played the Lestoil commercial five times to soothe the machine spirit."
"Praise the Omnisiah."
I just 3d printed one myself cant wait to start!
You are very talented at putting large things like this together dude. Hopefully will get to see you make other large titans in the future then.
Seeing how the quality control of the kit is and the price it’s staggering to even think of this compared to a Perfect Grade Gundam kits ($200-300) or the 1/48 scale kits they sell which are 15” in height, for $100 it’s a wildly different build quality and instruction effort. Honestly wild.
