Now It Can Be Told: https://i.imgur.com/eLje0ft.jpg  After a month hiatus where I spent the time duplicating the upper works previously accomplished I am approaching the point where four bastions are ready to have the surface sheets applied. https://i.imgur.com/t0LlSiP.jpg  I took it on myself to spare my erstwhile readers the agony of enduring repetitiveexposition and bit by bit gluing that which was previously documented ad nauseam. https://i.imgur.com/kvUFLCA.jpg  So this is where we are on the superstructure and I have to say I am elated that this is finally approaching completion, component wise that is; there is still a load of detailingto do!!!! https://i.imgur.com/8xilcXF.jpg

Flying Buttresses; Once again these seemingly simple constructs are labor intensive https://i.imgur.com/e5VczPX.jpg  A box like structure seventimes longer than it's wide and I need four of them. https://i.imgur.com/PpLwhLY.jpg  https://i.imgur.com/Otr5DsO.jpg  https://i.imgur.com/3BghGng.jpg  Even with the egg crate material and the resourcesof industrial quality styrene 0.040" (1,0 millimeter) sheets it's taken a while to manufacture just one. but the next three should take much less time |

It's been a busy month and I'm afraid the Emperor has taken a back seat compared to my other more pressing endeavors. I did manage to cobble together the rear bastions of the superstructure which are virtuallycarbon copies of the front components. My grandioseidea of a kit bash citadelhas been greatly reconsidered because such a structure would compromise the theme of the scratch work. "There is no shortcut to glory." It's a lesson I seem destined to relearn with every model I attempt. :D https://i.imgur.com/9BfcnfO.jpg  On another aside I can't believeI only took one picture of this most recent construction! |

Corner turrets and the intermediate pointy things are basically done. https://i.imgur.com/FtQnokO.jpg  https://i.imgur.com/NkMrfj3.jpg  Next up, the Citadel base. |

Moment of Truth This is going to be Interesting. I've learned a lot building this model. It's the largest project I've ever tackled and I've had to innovate a lot of new techniques.It's been a year and a half since I made the first pair of turrets. These new turrets so far are put the old ones to shame and it'll be interesting to see how they top out. https://i.imgur.com/smVvP40.jpg

Rediscovering the Wheel: Before I found the rear view of this version of Joazzz2's Emperor Titan I modeled certain components of the superstructure deck including the corner hanging bastions or turrets. I made only two and while quite successful on completion I'd forgotten how I actually built them :p Hence the title of this entry. When I obtained the back view I found I needed two more. https://i.imgur.com/4qFJy2Z.jpg

Secondary Towers: The more I study the image of the Emperor Deck the more detail stands out on this marvelous 3D image by Joazzz2. I was aware of the smaller towers on the superstructure deck but I did not perceive there were ten of them until this week. https://i.imgur.com/NIksL45.jpg  What was going to be a minor exercise in tedium has suddenly become a major pain in the arse. https://i.imgur.com/JgqhDUZ.jpg[  https://i.imgur.com/lgMG9De.jpg  Doubly so because I really hate doing these tiny pyramidal end caps. https://i.imgur.com/gFX0ksH.jpg  https://i.imgur.com/1U79qzG.jpg

Blackadder's Back..... Dribs and Drabs: But in these Summer months it's hard to not take advantage of the wonderful pool weather. Much too nice to be indoors working on plastic models. But here's a few images to tide over until the rains return. https://i.imgur.com/NIksL45.jpg First the superstructure deck now has forward battlements and the blocks are the beginnings of the center corner towers which do not seem to have any offensive capabilities. https://i.imgur.com/LxtL1cI.jpg  Extending the deck allows for spacing the "Firestorm Redoubts" and also gives room for the fifteen meter tall statues on the Citadel base to be seen more clearly. Finally; https://i.imgur.com/STQutPo.jpg  A bird's eye view of the Firestorm quad Laser Cannons base It's all coming together just as if I actually had, Some kinda Plan. Ha! |
