CommodusXIII Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Here's my progress during the blackout: http://i.imgur.com/WmIrFdzl.jpg Continuing to clean up various parts of the torso, and adding the yellow panels. I hate painting yellow. http://i.imgur.com/X9zpHEIl.jpg Adding the black hazard stripes. http://i.imgur.com/FKEWJIvl.jpg Finished some riveting on the panels. There's about two days' work left, but I have to pick up more paint. http://i.imgur.com/6teG8KWl.jpg Side view. The Opus Machina on the shoulders are the final bits of detail that need painting! http://i.imgur.com/3E2F39cl.jpg Piping on the back. The ladder cage (not pictured) clips into place, so it won't need to be glued. This should make it a bit easier to transport. http://i.imgur.com/35khIUdl.jpg Side cannons test-fitted to see how everything matches up. Looking pretty good! http://i.imgur.com/RzdEmJWl.jpg The head of the God-Machine. The windows, spotlights and camera lenses will be painted last, after the dark wash. I decided not to use the flexible neck tubing, as it proved impossible to paint prior to installation. I'm heading out of town tomorrow for a wedding, but will be swinging by my FLGS on my way to pick up the last couple paint pots that I'll need. I should finish painting next Tuesday, wash on Wednesday and complete the final detailing and assembly on Thursday. Just in time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 oooh the side cannons really make it come to life and add more detail Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 http://i.imgur.com/aV7CTe2l.jpg The dark wash took about an hour to apply. I left it to dry overnight, and hopefully this evening I'll have time to finish the windows and lenses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommodusXIII Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Ah, that I'll post for you later tonight or tomorrow. I found an online hobby store that sells styrene letters of different sizes. I previously used them for vehicle markings for my Soviet Russian AM wombat patrol army, and liked them so much that I bought several sets of different sizes. EDIT: Screw it, I like that version better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I finished the lenses, windows and spotlights. I'm going to let it dry overnight, then finish cleaning up tomorrow for final assembly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommodusXIII Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Waiting for another coat to dry before a final wash. Then I have to reset my gaming table before assembly - I've had to commandeer it it as a large painting area to complete the torso! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 No descriptions this time, only pictures.

WarriorFish Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Inspirational stuff, it looks really sturdy too which is fitting :) The extra details are nice in the build, could we have some close ups on it please? This makes me itch to get to work on my Knight. Not quite as impressive though, but large enough for now ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 And there goes my 'like' quota! I left everything set up last night, so when I get home from work this evening I'll take a few more close-ups. Any particular area you'd like to see?

WarriorFish Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 ETL syndrome I call it, fortunately they recharge Just close ups on the detail bits, such as on the top of the titan, guns and other parts where you've added stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I like the ladder bit, that's a nice touch. This must have taken a lot of time and effort to build! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm frankly amazed by the detail on Lux Aeterna. The ladders, the vents, the banners, everything is super background-accurate and adds to the character of the model. I'd like to see a few 40k infantry models on/about this guy, to really give us an idea of scale. If you please, Magos CommodusXIII! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Sure thing - its shoulders are large enough that someone could probably run a themed Kill Team mission on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommodusXIII Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Can you do me a favor Commodus? When convenient, can you take a photo of it from the same angle as the ID Titan cover? The one where he's just creasting the mountain range. Thanks! We need to get some Photoshop on that bad boy, maybe give him a dynamic battleground and some lighting effects . . . Had the wife help me with a little photoshoot. I didn't have any white sheets to use as a backdrop, so you'll have to make due with scrap foamboard. http://i.imgur.com/EGyMIVml.jpg Here's the image in its original size.
