I like the idea of an Knight Imperator conversion kit, but less so the execution. You've used familiar baracade and building looks, but titans and the AM don't have the same aesthetic. It has the look of something a dedicated scratch-builder might make a 40k Imperator conversion using, rather than something that fits with the other titans or the rest of the Knight model. Personally I plan on CADing and printing a truescale Imperator and Warmonger as a full kit very heavily based on the old models one of these years, though who know s if I'll get round to it and it'd be horendously expensive.

Despite my reservations I'm still curious and keen to see your finished product though. If you were to stick a familiar bastion and those barracade pieces onto Shapeways seperately then I'd buy some.

Yeah there are plans afoot to make similar generic fortification parts, to fit a 2x and 4x 40mm base footprint, cast up and available at some time in the future.

Excellent :) Probably wise to print a set and cast them discretely as things could get shut down if noticed for sale on Shapeways.

Parts arrived and all of the bits fit and glue flush, very relieved. I have added them to the store above.

I'm not game to put finished model pic up on the store, i'll leave those for the forums. My phone died and it was late last night working on it, but I have some pics of the shoulder rail in place. slides right on in a satisfying fashion.

Fantastic - Great job.
Now how will I get permission from the boss to spend the money ? Hmmm.

Do what I doo and confuse her with bags and shoes! Actually the payola is usually more than the item.

AMAZING. Can't believe you got the parts the perfect size and fit the first time. Great job. And thank you SO MUCH for sharing on Shapeways. That is super, super cool.

Yrah I cleaned it all up (rubbing alcohol in an ultrasonic cleaner followed by soapy scrubbing) worked ok along with a bit of scraping of the crystalline junk.

Note, still need to source weapons, waiting to hear back about dreamforge gatling thing.
