Welcome back Princeps for Part 2 of the Imperator Titan No.1 Showcase feature. Today we will be looking at the actual build process and materials used by Goddenzilla to make this magnificent centrepiece Titan in a field of centrepiece models!Although most of the miniature was constructed with lightweight materials, she still weighs in at approximately 30 Kg! The majority of the weight was deliberately concentrated in the lower half of the titan for strength and stability.
The hollow body was built around a 'T' structure which funnels weight into the pelvis. The weight of the carapace and arms are also specifically designed to lock into this structure, adding further rigidity with their added weight!
The huge size of the Starshatter Plasma Annihilator is demonstrated here!
Although immense in size, no skipping on the detail
Clever sculpted and designed hip joints means no rotation in the hip axis for the top weight of the body.
Coming together nicely, bookcase for scale!
Here the process of sculpting one part and moulding many from that one original, here the inter-toe pieces.

Just painting the leg compared to a Warhound Titan shows the dedication to task Goddenzilla applied.

Forge World do not make Imperator Titans and usually we do not accept scratchbuild titans or 3D Printed titans as the Club was formed "for owners of official Forge World Battle Engines to share their projects and works for the Titan loving community to see" but our policy on Emperor Class Titans is that they can be invited to an event by the Titan Owners Club event team. Due to the dominance that large titans have on the battlefield, these will be limited or restricted from attending Titan Owners Club every event, and opponents will need to agree in advance, that they would be happy gaming against an Emperor Class Titan.If you are yourself building an Imperator Titan and wish to be considered for invitation to a Titan Owners Club event and Registration here, please contact the Admin team (by using How to Join email) throughout the build process and we can give you advice to help meet the required aesthetic/scale/construction standard to meet.
More casting of original pieces, these are leg pistons.

See tomorrow for Part 3 - The Detailing and Crew.
