I don't feel like a true Epic player without Titans in my collection. Time to change that. A long while ago I found a template for an Epic Gargant floating around the net. I used that as a basis for this creation. Made up of cardstock, basswood, and various bitz, here's the my (not very original) Gargant:   Now to prime the beast and paint it. |

Like Vaaish said, very cool. Did you note what you did to create it? It is always good to do a how to for some of the other sites, GR00V3R is always on the look out for articles for Bell of Lost Souls. Again great stuff. Aaron |

It was pretty straightforward really. I just printed out and built the main body from the PDF ("Orgami" Gargant by Chuck Smith, can't remember where I found it.) I replaced the shoulder pads with basswood, added a basswood platform in back, dowels for exhausts, and glued cardstock plates over the whole thing. Plastic & metal parts include epic boyz of various types, a multimelta and ork faceplate from a Gorkamorka buggy, a searchlight from a killer kan, an epic mole mortar on the shoulder, an old rhino autolauncher atop the head, parts of new and old ork guns, the ubiquitous targeter for the eye, some metal tanks and hose from an old tank sprue and three ork pistols on a basswood base for each foot (cuz Gork would have guns in his toes wouldn't you?) After all that I added a greenstuff ladder and poked sharp pins through for rivet holes. I didn't do enough planning on that last part... should've pierced all the plates before adding them to the body. I was able to contain the damage on the other parts, but it ended up warping the bottom a bit, which hopefully won't be too obvious once the thing is based and painted. Whoops. The whole thing took about 3 or 4 hours last night, 2 before dinner and 2 after the kids hit the hay. |

Nice build! If you can whip these out in about 4 hours, you could fill out a garg big mob in a week or so.  I look forward to seeing it painted. |
