With 2 updates in a week I've obviously gotten more done on the titan. Legs are greenstuffed and connected to the torso, upper torso is done except weapons, back fins are on and arms are in the production phase, you can see the mock-up put on with blue tac in the pics below. I figure it's also a nice change from the current uproar of 6th washing across the interwebs.

After I got everything together I thought the legs were a little large at first, but after it's all together they've grown on me. One of the problems I ran into is balance and that the legs are just connected with styrene tubing and seem a little flimsy. I believe the model could hold its weight just standing on the shelf, but I expect it would seem breakage during table play. So I've currently put him on a small plywood base, with a 1/2" tube propping up the model(about a 1/2" off the ground currently); the plan is to replace the tube with a clear acrylic rod.

I'm going to go back and add some additional tubing to represent hydraulics where the lower legs meet the upper legs, and possibly where the upper leg meets the torso. The lower part of the torso still needs to be detailed with protective plates and jump jets in between the legs. I'm probably putting some sort of belt piece as well to divide the torso.
The plan for the should mounts are to make them look slightly like the new heat lances, I found some nice mechanical pencils that have a similar shape so it should make it easy to convert up. The CCW currently is a foam board mock up. The plan for this is probably going to be a single piece of styrene sheet for the whole shape, and then build up with smaller shapes of styrene sandwiching the main blade.
