Spoon armed Imperator Titan

I just decided to continue my blog about my hobby and scratch-building passion. Like waking from a long sleep, we normally take stock on our environment as our senses slowly activate: Looking at my 'almost there' Imperator, I take stock on what still needs to be added and enhanced on my titan, it's still many. Lots to do detail work and lots to finish on it. On my other soon to be declared projects for the Mechanicum, we'll hopefully I'd finish the detail work on my titan first, i'd hate to be drowned again by backlogs :)

Here's some more updates for the imperator titan project:

Well, the titan I initially post here was almost finished, here it is: Though the name is still in flux,I had to do some more detail work on the right arm weapon and the electronics for the sound effects and the struct point counters. I have been mulling over the idea of starting yet another titan project (this time a warlord), when I'm also trying to finish the decorations for the imperator titan I have now. The final armor detail (right after the electronics) will be the signal I'm to work on the next one seriously. But for now I'd begin the skeleton work for the next titan since that would not take too much time.

The typhoon 'Ondoy' (international name 'Ketsana'), visited Manila early saturday Sept 26. When I left the house that late morning (approximately 9:30am), the rains are already strong and there's already a knee-deep flood water,I persevered to go ahead and try to attend my silk screen training, since that is very important to me, plus I thought the storm would slow down or soften up later that day. Boy! was I sooooo WRONG!! The damn storm raged all through that afternoon and dumped what amounted to be 'NOAH torrential rain'-type waters and flooded areas believed to be largely immune to such flood rains and waters. When I returned that night, tried to return. I found the area around my neighborhood under almost 10'-13' of water!!!!! It stunned me to think about the things/stuff,books and papers,that are now possibly underwater and drenched to shreds. Stunned realization gradually turned to anger, when i thought about the incompetence of my government,

The fun part is that the mini's are painted by kids, ages 6 and 9, heheheh child labor? Nah, they are definitely enjoying painting my IG mini's too bad I didn't bring all 70 of my models,hehehe They finished painting 14 models in one afternoon! heheheh faster than me in a factor of two! hahahah Granted it's not a pretty first painting project for them, but heck I loved seeing my mini's finally got some paint on them! hahahaha Best of all the kids are loving the exercise :)

Here are the latest picts of my WIP titan project: (My grandmaster is here again to give size perspective).
