As we all know, scratch-building at epic scale is all about precision, detail and neatness. I thought all this through with the start of my next epic project, then promptly forgot.

it begins:


Having got this far, it occurred to me it might be in danger of overbalancing/falling over, so I took pre-emptive steps:


But what if it falls over the other way



Good. Solid now, not gonna fall over. With firm foundations in place I felt secure in adding a cone:


… long term project this

I'm going to guess at a titan scratchbuild. Stompy, stompy!

Already envious of your skills, I'm expecting to be sobbing into my paint brushes after you finish this.

Nope, not a titan Now for something different, or, well it is *sort* of related to the above, anyway …

Two things to be said about this. First, I recon it's in the top 5 pieces from the dark age of forum tech, second I absolutely hate […ed painting] it. Been painting it on and off for months, getting fed up, putting it away, deciding I need to finish it etc. How moredakka did 4 of them is beyond me.

(yeah, i know, it's a stupid place to land a drop pod, risk of burning lava death etc etc)

After all that I came to basing it, smeared milliput all over the place, not worrying about fingerprints because, hey, I was going to add lava paste. Then I found I don't have my lava paste with me, so here it is at an in-between stage of basing.
