Reaver Titan: Day 57
I think he’s done? You can always find more to tweak, but in general, I’m happy enough. Next time will be the full pictures and whatnot.
Anyway, on this, the last day, I finished highlighting up the display base. And had an Old Fashioned.
Reaver Titan: Day 55/56
Spent about two days working on the toddler’s base. Combination of rolled out hexagon tiles, printed ruins, cork board, and some textured paint. Some magnets in the base should keep him standing.
Reaver Titan: Day 52
Twas a striping few days. Counting this as “one day” as it was really over a few two hour sessions. Got all the black out on over the stripes on the shinguards and got all the hazard stripes blocked in.
The end is legitimately in sight.
Reaver Titan: Day 51
Finished up the rest of the metallics and started painting up the fiddly doodads.
Reaver Titan: Day 49
Relatively short day, but a critical step. Got all the oil washes down on the metal parts. This basically means I’m now ready to start gluing the final plates on as I finish them up. Also got the waist glued onto to the torso; the big guy is now quite stable.
I feel like I’m probably two months out from being “done” with the Reaver. Ergo, it’s not too late to reflect on this ridiculous project. To whit: reflections on building my personal manifestation of the Omnissiah.
Reaver Titan: Day 48
Went to a zen like place for NO REASON WHATSOEVER and got the trim knocked out. Also painted two crotch lenses (yes, those are a thing, one must be aware of who is standing underneath one’s butt plate) and three Ad Mech doo dads. #reavertitan
Reaver Titan: Day 47
Started the great gold trim slog on the legs. I generally have to hit each trim piece twice with Retributor Gold to get the coverage I want. That means I’ve generally painted the trim four times. 😬
I’ll be quite happy to be done with this phase. Something about it is one heck of a mental hobby block.
