Even at $20,000 US you would have to hold a gun to my head before I'd make another of these................

 

Altar Alterations:

 
A question for those more knowledgeable than I about 40K Iconology 
 
I'm pretty sure the A.D. emblem is correct but the Vampire caped skulls, what are they and are they correct on a Tech Priest Altar?

Hell I'm just going to post all the pictures good and bad and you can sort them out......

I'm finally putting some detail into the interior. It was much too stark and empty before.

The Tech-Priest is just there temporary for scale.

I need to work in the College Technical "T" on the wall under the arch and the Sardonic Skull on the other side.

Looks worthy of the Omnissiah's gaze ( as as does just about the entire God-Machine, by the way)!

 

May I humbly suggest some purity seals? I think they would really add to the.. you know... Adeptus Mechanicus feel of the altar. Also, the Tech-Priest looks really at home, looking down into the Strategium. 

 

Praise the Machine-Spirit! All glory to the Omnissiah!

More Icons:

 

lotsa conduit cables ducting to come but I needed reinforcement regarding use of proper icons. I won't make the mistake of the CoD backwards Adeptus Mechincus skull again.

For your edification two symbols for the side corridors under the Gothic arches:

Study in Blue Light:

 

Accomplished a bit of work this morning on the interior, railings and buttresses but the big plus to the work is the LED Blue /White lighting.

 

With all the work I put into the College Titanica  and the Adeptus Mechanicus skull icon they can barely be seen in the corridor on either side of the Altar nave.

 

I should have included a figure for scale.

 

The right side:

Command Deck Front Bulkhead Redux:

I was never satisfied with the future tech look of the front bulkhead that was not in keeping with the battle weary slapdash Gothic interior of the 40K universe.
The main hull in my estimation is five decks high starting with the Void Generator housings not shown in the included images due to the fact that they must be removed for visual access of the lower decks.
Deck four is the upper Observation gallery and the Adeptus Mechanicus Altar recently updated now with 28 MM scale figure.
Deck three which I call the Command deck even though I have been advised that Titans do not require large spaces as they have a minimal crew.
http://i.imgur.com/iqNJDfLl.jpg
I rationalize Luteus Vexant is a tactical command vehicle that has a Command group of officers.
http://i.imgur.com/tXya71Tl.jpg
Below that is the Fusion Reactor, I have no idea what a functioning Fusion Reactor would look like but I imagine it would glow with Cherenkov radiation represented by to central component on deck five.

To either side of the Reactor deck is the triangular shaped cooling grids and coolant recovery system that recirculates the reactor's sodium transfer medium.

The Void Generators:

 
The top deck houses the Void Generators of which there are four.
 
Since the rear ones cannot be seen unless the model is disassembled I saw no reason to make the two rear generators until I decided to make an interior. So I suppose I need to make two more.........
 
http://i.imgur.com/3qXGeSkl.jpg
 
The generator deck breaks down to five interlocking components are is accessible from either the upper gallery of the Command Deck or from the Hood. The interior of the housings are painted a nice bilious green which seems to glow for some reason.........
 
http://i.imgur.com/Yi1UTmcl.jpg
 
The forward doors fold down on hinges for maintenance access and removal of the Void Generators...........
 
http://i.imgur.com/GkHcc5pl.jpg
 
The interior walls with roof attached lock in place to the rails on the center main hull ceiling............

Shadowsword Interior:

 

Found these images in my copious archives showing the generators for the Volcano Cannon. I much regret not researching this before as the interior would go very well in the Warlord engine room. I at the time coveted with my tongue hanging out the Shadowsword interior which in retrospect, now that I have a bit of scratchbuilding under my belt, would be relatively easy to replicate.

Watch for a major revamp of the Warlord interior coming soon.

 

I had completely omitted the Steam Turbine dynamos GAHHH!

 

I like this one............

The Day The Earth Stood Still:

 
Well maybe not such a world shaking event but never the less something that I would say about 50% of the replies I get are queries when I'm going to paint the Warlord.
 
http://i.imgur.com/UsQnzAol.jpg
 
Well today's the day
 
http://i.imgur.com/yflJ1sbl.jpg
 
Another thing to note is the ankle mechanism is still intact with not a hint of failing either in structure and function so the fears of those that predicted the flexing ankles would fail are pretty much allayed. 
 
http://i.imgur.com/s73wBoKl.jpg
 
The difference between an engineer and yer average schlub is the schlub usually overbuilds........ I overbuild.
 
So 24 hours of paint drying and I'll be ready to start airbrushing. 
 
BTW any painters out there I would appreciate suggestions......REALLY!

Can Someone help Me Find My Dog?
 

In the land of the blind the one eyed are kings. Well that philosophy won't do me any good 'cause my dog is blind too.

 
I spent the morning reviewing youtube mech painting and I have come to the conclusion that it seems no one has trod this path before.
 
So I went back to a few Jaro tutorials and decided to work off of the Forgefiend video. 
 
His accent is a bit thick but I got AV German Grey and I have to assume it's Model Air 
 
Yesterday I forego-ed his recommended acrylic black base coat because I don't have to spend 20 buck$ on tiny vials of black paint when I can paint the entire Warlord for a couple of dollars worth of generic spray can Flat Black.
 
Today I airbrushed German Grey center highlights on the toes and tread patterns and the Ad Mech lcon under the foot pad???? (What Was I Thinking!!!!)  
 
http://i.imgur.com/VIplvOjl.jpg
 
Okay so the effect I'm going for is that originally this titan was a steely grey-blue and over the millennia the original factory paint and clear coat has worn, burned and rusted off so all that's left is a hint of former colour showing through the accumulated grime, leaking oil and rust. It won't be a Dave Smith camouflage so much as an Earl Scheib $19.95 special (Ask your fathers).

Department of the Interior:

 
More like the Department of Redundancy Department because I had already done this once but I was never satisfied with the Holo-dome display, first it was too large and the ground looked fake and uninspired so a new attempt was in order and I just returned from my daily 10K walk brimming with new ideas for the cockpit interior as well.
 
The new dome is neater and more compact.
 
First I repaired the head and added the flex conduit, I plan to paint the mechanical sections later today probably black metallic and bronze highlights 
 
http://i.imgur.com/Npp5rqCl.jpg
 
Next the interior cockpit forward console (Lower left foreground will be upgraded with wiring and conduit. and be ready to be installed with the twin Moderati pilots seated.
 
I wonder what people that have lives do with their time?

The Alien Scene from MP's 'Life of Brian:'

Every time I look at this cockpit I am minded of the aliens in that movie.

The Princep cubical fits well behind the Moderati

Thanks,

 

Princeps Are Lifers Anyway:

 
When I was in the service we called career soldiers 'Lifers.' It's not too much of a stretch to make the leap to a 20 year man becoming a permanent fixture in a machine especially if there are the bonuses of virtual 'ahem' amenities.
 
That's why I have no qualms with using a truncated Princep. This wiry bilateral amputee is wedded to the machine god and tied in for the duration. The virtual R&R may be sufficient compensation to commit to such a sacrifice and of course there is free medical.

Anyway it's an interesting deviation.

Vis-a-vis the princeps, perhaps you could bend some clear plastic around the outside of it so it's a bit like those nutrient/amniotic tanks that they always harp on about in the books? "Liquid data" and all that.

I don't know if I've commented on your threads before, but incase I haven't...as ever, beautiful and the OCD perfectionism is something I can relate to completely!
