Besides the JVS version, I'm also building a scaled up version of a Titanicus scale Warhound Titan. I think the original version was by Jim Bowen. Scaled up 464%. 65lb Cardstock.
Day 1: Head piece.
Day 2, "sheet 2". Torso sections 1 & 4.
Day 3, got the feeling I scaled up too large, so spent the day resizing and printing the head. Getting that Goldilocks and the Three Bears feeling. Using the JSV pattern as a guide. "Papa" is sized up 464%, and seems too big. "Baby" is sized up 348%, and seems too small. "Mama" seems just right, sized up 407%.
Day 4. After resizing and starting again, back on track with "sheet 3" - Torso pieces 2, 3, 5 & some smaller parts.
Day 5, sheet 4. Hip joints, waist ring, shoulder Mounts, left leg parts.
Day 5 part 2. Main hull assembled.
Day 6, sheet 5. Hip, right leg parts, lower shin parts.
Day 7. Getting the legs assembled. When I built the 1/2 size version, I had the lower legs straight up from the feet, and the model was nose heavy. Having the lower legs at an angle should help shift the center of gravity back
Day 8. Toes. Due to their size, two sheets.
Feet completed. Getting the feeling this Titan should have been called "Raptor", not Warhound.
Day 9. Legs assembled.
Day 10. Chassis finished, armor pieces ready.
Day 11. Almost done. Next, the weapons. Thinking about attaching them by magnets to allow changing to suit WYSIWYG.
Day 12. Plasma Blastgun done.
Day 13. Finished. Ready for table duty.
