Ahoy,
I've been commissioned by a local lad to build and pose his Reaver Titan. I put the call out to the local community to see if anyone had a big project for me to work on, he'd seen my knights and felt confident to trust me with such a big dollar piece. We kicked around a few ideas for poses and he wanted to get the big unit to look like it was throwing a punch without making it look stupid if he went to dual ranged weapons as well. It's taken a fair bit of cutting and test fitting to get the pose that I'm happy with which I feel really conveys movement and gives the idea of a boxers jab, but can also look as though it's turning to fire on new targets when running both guns. The kit wasn't happy to go to some of these angles so I've had to shave a fair bit down in some spots and space others with plasticard(waist, arm, head). I'll be rebuilding some of the sections with green stuff to add detail back in and hide some of the joins. The head for example I've taken it to an angle to follow the jab that goes beyond the cables that cover the ball joint so I'm going to have to cut those out and replace them with greenstuff cabling to go the extra distance, the gaps bigger too because I had to cut some of the depth of armour away from the back of the head to get more angle.
Anyway a couple photos, I'm stoked with the silhouette and will be sad to see this beauty go when I'm done! It's been a fun experience though, here's hoping I can afford one for myself some day.
Cheers boyos
