Wow, thanks for all the replies. Central Dome: The Central Dome will occupy the middle of the superstructure in this model seen here in a top view image And in the rough placement on the upper deck: Now I need to find the Aquila template from my old Warlord work????

The work inside is a series of mistakes due to not having enough visual information as to the size and shape of the structure. Had I had it to do over the interior would have been a simple rectangular box. The mistake may turn out to be a blessing in disguise as it give me attach points for the...

A Rainy Day: I'm beginning to think I could effect a cure for a rainy day. This roof has exceeded my expectations and now I am wishing I took more pains with the preliminaries. Aside from some excess amounts of glue that partially dissolved the surface (which I can rationalize as...

Something New: I'm trying something new on the Volcano Cannon housing. We'll see if I can bring it off.... This first image after much trial shows the peaked housing of the cannon and the truncated upper works of the roof. Next the sides.... Finally the installation of the...

Thanks for the replies; Christmas Holiday A bit of doldrums over the Christmas Holiday so yesterday I sheathed the surface of the towers on either side of the cannon enclosure and fabricated the square spires topping them. I hate making spires, the work is slow and tedious and the Emperor...

Thanks for the replies... Subject To Change: On the third or fourth go around for this area I've decided to scrap the interior courtyard and replace the central area with the Volcano cannon housing. The two central compartments will now be connected by a nave and an apse at the other end...

Whoops again! It looks like I promised but didn't deliver.... Why doesn't someone tell me these things...... When last I posted I promised some rear views of the superstructure but forgot to post them. Not only that but I didn't even copy them to the Imgur site as well. So here are the...

Thanks for the reply, Just Winging It Now :D I'm just winging it now because there aren't any details of the inner courtyard or the façade of the central Keep. What little I can glean from the HelsReach video shows the roof of the Keep and two Pillars where I have the full statues but more...

Hells Reach a Homage: Having watched Helsreach for the dozenth time to get a feel for the next area of construction it was a good time to assemble the model again. As stated previously; I need a perspective on the courtyard in front of the 'Keep'. I want to have a staircase leading up to the...

For me it's just an exercise in engineering and an art project. Whether my son will ever field it I've no idea. It seems to me watching Helsreach the movie (I only watch the few chapters that contain the Emperor Titan) there is little value in playing such a huge piece that consumes a lot of...

Only An Eighth of an Inch: This past week I spent dozens of hours installing the skin on the many facets of the quarter panels. When all was said and done there is an eighth of an inch discrepancy over the back of the model. (0.3175 cm). Close enough for government work I keep telling...

Thanks for the reply The Skin Is In Beginning to be installed that is. A major step forward for the long suffering Blackadder. I have finally reached a point where I am confident to commence applying a surface to the framework. Henceforth the bewildering maze of framing material will...

Would that there were an actual model. Anyway after a great deal of studing of that which I do have, I've made an extensive revamping of the rear elevation. After a week of work there appears to be very little difference visually but that belies the actual fact I assure you. I tackled the...

Aedificium: For want of a better name. This central structure fits nicely between the two rear towers and will have a catwalk instead of a peaked roof. I've not yet decided how to place the front/rear of the structure given that the base fits nicely either way. I will be departing for...

Yesterday I was asked a the question, "How much does this entire construction weigh?" I guessed approximately 10 kilo or 20.2pounds at the moment. Today I weighed the upper body (no mean featBTW) which turned out to be 8,03 kilo / 17.7 pounds so perhaps altogether 11 kilo or 24.25 pounds...

A Whirlwind Weekend: In spite of recurring relapses I managed cobble together some butresses and pylons and tack them in place on the superstructure. I'm hard pressed to convey how well this is coming together; purely by happenstance I assure you. With the first two images I had hoped...

How did you know I've been toying with the idea of a Super Mega Gargant?

Thanks. Flying Buttresses!!! I guess it's no secret I work entirely without plans; so when perusing the only image I have of this beastie for the umpteenth time I rediscovered the d@mned thing has minarets WITH FLYING BUTTRESSES!!! Egad! The problem is because of the perspective of the...

I seen to have duplicate posts. Can the duplicates be removed? Ahh! much Better! The yoke is now centered in the cutout as well... I have no idea what these cylinders are for.... The arm is solid with no shoulder hinge points.
