As I mentioned earlier, imperators are said to be 166 feet tall which is ~7 inches high 1/300 scale, a bit bigger 1/285, so its just about on the money.

...and awesome. What a great idea! Looking forward to seeing this progress. I'm assuming that the fire control centre (and presumably other bits) are being designed to fit snugly so they can be simply glued on top of the Knight's carapace. Is that correct; or will you be trimming/ leaving bits off?

I love the idea of the Dies Irae at a properly terrifying size, so will be keen to follow this.

Yep, tower designed to slot into the top port, rear bastions designed to plug into exhaust ports, shoulders designed to clip onto the shoulder rail. Only trickies will be leg bastion bits which glue flat, but ill put a 1mm round peg on the back so they can glue into a drilled hole.

My security camera arrived last night, looks like the components will fit inside once gutted, but I need someone more electronics minded (my bro in law) to help wire it.

Leg bastion bits, designed to fit in around the existing detailing. Hopefully.

It's not often I resort to such modern language but: OMFG!!!

Ok, this might be the only thing that convinces me to but a knight

Almost finished! Parts have been stitched up for print. I have one more part to build, 'elevator doors' to sit at te bottom of the feet.


Rear bastions


Middle carapace bastion


Shoulder bastions


Frontal under-carapace guns and crotch cannon (mandatory)


Leg bastions and cannons


Foot Bulkheads (go between the toes at the base of the feet)

No, going to use a gatling gun from dreamforge leviathan and convert a plasma, I have the front section from a plastic imperator plasma. I will also wait and see what forgeworld produces in terms of weapon kits.

Fantastic

Amazing project. Can't wait to see more.

Finished, part checked and uploaded to shapeways!

I'll order a print next week and check it out, if iit works o.k I'll put it up in a shapeways shop. Aint cheap, but you can't put a price on love.

I can not wait to see this. SO COOL. I hope this works out... just might need to drop the $250 or whatever it ends up being to build this thing....
