Spoon armed Imperator Titan

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).

Yeah,'m getting desperate, I'd get help painting my army..and I have a surprise painter that would try her hand painting minis, hehe Good lord guide her hand pleaseeeee these minis are not cheap!!!

Hmnn ok, I have finished the body proper and the head (fashioned it after my fave characters in WH40K,grey knights), glued it all together, which roughly forms the first major part of the titan, the rest of the major sections are of course the arms and the legs. Anyway, I estimate the titan should be finished by October, of course my schedule of projects permitting.. I'd post some pictures, if I have done the back support and the plasma engines at the back...Err yeah did I say I have finished the first major section at least 90 %? hehehe Danggg it is a monumental project to take, building one of these 'god-machines'! And to think what i'm building now is just the basic form of the titan, if the 'basic' form is done, I still have to graft on foam boards plastics, yet more boards and armor to make it appear all menacing like,more militaristic? So that means I'd reach possibly till December for this monster model to get at least 95 % done, hooo boyyyy
