Starting on the Reaver Titan Interior

The building and painting of the interior of my Reaver Titan, Harmonia Tacita, has now commenced. In the first image, there is a computer panel from just below one of the void shield generators (which will be on the back, rear of the upper face of the titan). Naturally, it has the number 42 in the screen (what better?). The painted area here will hardly be visible once the main body of the titan is glued together and held in place. However, I will know its there! 


The second image shows the glued together interior walls for the main body of the titan. These will be painted up along with the rest of the interior prior to assembly. I want the interior to look dark, perhaps with gold accents. Whilst I was toying with an off-blue or grey colour, I'm going to stick to something that will look a bit Black Legion for the interior scheme. I also want the accent colours to be red for the display monitors. 


One interesting facet of putting this together is that one of the braces at the top has to be snapped off. I strongly recommend to readers who are fitting this piece to their own titans to take care with this. Dry fit it a couple of times just to be sure. On top of that, a hair dryer (or hot water) may well be necessary to slot in these side pieces and get them to sit correctly. Be prepared for a bit of work in this department before progressing to final gluing.
