Canis Secondus Walks again for Legio Astorum
Siph added a base as he believes they make a strong and stable addition, making the legs and base a strong triangle to prevent splaying, or tipping over at Titan Walk events. The underside has teflon coasters for ease of movement too. The original owner had red/orange plasma so the re-painted Plasma Blastgun matches his numerous Titans. Verdigris twas added to the weapons to match other titans too. All the detailing was touched up or painted to match other titans too, like the screens and buttons on the rear of the weaponry.
The scrollwork now denotes the titan's name "Canis Secondus", sister engine to "Canis Praetor" which fits nicely. The feet were weathered nicely so the topside 'factory fresh' look Siph goes for with a clear spray lacquer, avoiding the bottom half of the titan where a matt varnish spray on the lower half was used.

The lumin-strips on the deckhead inside were painted. The sensors and screens of the Command Deck were also painted.
The insides were already painted for me, I just re-painted the Princeps jacket to a purple like most of my other Princeps, did a few details and gold aquila, purity seals and painted.And for ease of travel, the titan was well magnetised by the previous owner with strong magnets in arms and waist.PREVIOUS OWNER PHOTOS:

The Engine can be equipped to either take on swathes of infantry or as a Super Heavy killer with Turbo Lasers and Plasma Blastgun.
A beautiful Engine of Legio Astorum
The weathering and dust build up on the legs is fantastic.
The internal detail has been painted very well.

I enjoy the build process so much! Have fun (I'm sure you will) and take it slow! I'm looking forward to seeing what you produce!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, but do it slow and sure, dry fit everything and I recommend JB Plastic Weld so super strong joints. Also pinning for the main leg and carapace bits. Check out the Resources tab here above bar, for handy building tips.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, I hope you'll find it mega enjoyable!
Thanks for the tips super excited to get it ready for painting hopefully it won't be the last titan :)
ReplyDeleteAfter a year of languishing on my shelves Canis Secundus is getting a coat of paint hope to have progress photos soon
