Hi guys As I wait for my Tau Mech and crisis suits undercoat to dry (hence the paint splatter on my thumb) I am starting on one of my Imperial Titans, this one will be a Warhound, the original kit is a Marrok Battlesuit by CMG, the kit is way to small for a Warhound, so I am making it 14-15mm taller by adding an extension at the waist, extending the thigh, and building up the feet, I am bulking out the head so a pilot would realistically be able to fit, (although it should really be able to fit 2 pilots) and bulking out and widening the body, thoughts?

Some more work, adding a hood over the head.

That looks pretty spot on :) CMG do some great little mechs, don't they? |

Looking good Gunner,
I see you also increased the height of the hips.Makes sense.
Are you going for the roundish head version ( the first GW epic model ) or the angular head one ( the resin FW one )? You could also saw off the back spines ( if they aren't under the putty by now :) )& reuse them or will you make the spear point ones ? Z |

Insomniac – Yeah i like the CMGs mechs I have one of their large macross looking ones in my stash as well.
Z – It will be more like the FW one, will be leaving the spines on, but you will only see the last 3rd. |

Never mind that, thats an Airfix box for a Saracen APC! John |

Dropzonetoe – yeah, a bit of overspray.
By John 54 – the Saracens were used in a project long ago

They look really great! like 'em a lot.
The 4-wheeled Saracens look a lot like something I've seen in South Africa? Good work, fella! John |
