I base coated the yellow and then used model masking tape to cover the whole carapace and then removed every other strip of tape to reveal a stripe I then painted black. Once I had the basic pattern it was easier to touch up the stripes. It was time consuming, but it was the only way I could make it work.

I finished the Reaver titan for my Legio Ignatum “Fire Wasps” maniple. I magnetized the guns in case I end up getting the additional weapon sprue. Right now I only have the volcano canon to swap out the melta weapon. The carapace was the most time consuming part of the model, but I’m quite happy with the results. Hopefully I can finish the two warhounds before the painting challenge starts in a few weeks.

Great job Mike! Wow, good to see some awesome Titanicus stuff rolling/walking off of the painting tables!

Very nice indeed! That carapace is very striking. And I like the way you're holding onto the hope that you might not buy the extra weapon sprue......!

Excellent looking Reaver. I should get some tips from you on how to build the legs as the latest Reaver I built looks like he's on tip-toes.

Fabulous work! I like the carapace, how did you do the stripes on it?
