Been reading alot these days

Been reading alot these days, since I could not work on my WIP titan :) Finished 'Titanicus by Dan Abnett' and 'Grey Knights omnibus by Ben Knight', also Descent of Angels and now I'm about to finish 'Fallen Angels' as well.. I enjoyed Titanicus the most, though I'd only give it 4 stormbolter awards. Why? I think the book built up good steam from start to midway,but when it came to the near finish line it faltered in the action area and suddenly and painfully skewed (even halted full STOP!!!) into a condensed style summary of the story instead, I'm quite disappointed really on how it finished but nevertheless being a titan only action packed book, it's still quite a good one. I'm seeing a Dan abnett like pattern here,but im not holding it against him, seems like estimating book length and story flow is not his best strengths, hehehe. About the other books, the grey knight omnibus is a surprisingly good one, I loved it! among all of my space m

Here are the latest pics of my WIP titan: I included my grey knight grandmaster to illustrate size. Hopefully i'll be finished enough this weekend to start work on the body and head of the titan..

Time for everything

In a famous book, it says there that there should be a time for everything. Time to laugh, time to cry, to be angry and on it goes.. Wouldn't it be great if life came with a manual or guide book something like that, it would tell us what to do in case of sticky situations or crises in life. But the one who made us have so much faith in us, that he gave us a combination of friends, family, financial resources, Internet, some TV exposure and even cinema, and lastly to give us a more flexible and somewhat spicy mix, he gave the mother of all gifts, freewill. There are a few moments or days where a human being would be forced to think thru all he had done, the decisions he made, the actions he took, opinions he expressed and where he stands in the present, than his own birthday. They say we should look at life as a journey and not a destination.. well i'm glad the journey has been interesting to say the least. Hopefully a better and wiser man is getting there along the journey, enj

Titan updates..

My attempt at making a gatling gun (more ominously called Hellstorm) out of PVC pipes: It's six barrels at 10" each, total length of the right arm weapon is around 16" (by the way, i also took the chance to boast my favorite Dan Abnett book so far, hehe--loved Titans! yeah!) I'd be back for updates next couple o days or so..

Titan updates..

Been working on the right arm weapon: A giant gatling gun type weapon aptly called, hellstorm gun/cannons. I'd post pics when finished.

Titan weapons

well I cant be certain on the weapons yet for the fortress module of my titan, it seems the choice boils down to which parts are readily available therefore I'd choose that certain weapon simply because it's parts are available, hehehe. Well somehow this big boy would have enough weapons that's for sure, if finished (when finished) it may have too many weapons for some games! hahaha off to work again..
