Rymeer Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 C&C?? Okay, here goes... try not to take this too hard. Dreadnought legs: looks fine, if you were doing a dreadnought statue. There should be multiple colors of metals on the legs... like the pistons for example. The back of the rotating hip sockets should have those 'toothed' areas in boltgun to differentiate them from the overall bronzish metal color, with perhaps a bit of inking, and over drybrushing. The whole thing, during 'weathering' stage should have some drips and trails of oil, or other lubricant. The heads of the large bolts in the front and back of the pelvic region could use a differing coloration from the background bronzish coloration. Again the back of the 'knees' area could use the same treatment as described above for the back of the hip socket area. You might want to concider the 'toes' in chapter green color to just 'set off' the model a bit from all the bronze and boltmetal colors, as you have with the front pelvic plate covering. I won't comment too much on the torso, since it's only basecoated at present. Other, than to mention that you might want to concider painting each of the short cable bundles on either side of the central front plate in differing colors to accent whatever you do with front plate and shoulder plates. Just a few thoughts, Rymeer Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89780-dark-angel-mortis-dreadnought-wip/#findComment-1032893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken on board Rymeer. Needless to say I've done some of the bits in your sugestion that I liked the sound of, specifically the contrast bolts & the toothed sections. I left the pistons as is, as they look greasy, as I imagine pistons to be, and they'll be largely obscured by the greaves anyway. Progress Report... http://www.tvxc.org/minis/dreadnaught2.jpg Took the legs off to allow access to the feet. Added casings, weathered shoulder pad. Base-coated feet Started on feet highlighting... Question. I've come to this stage, and noticed some inconsistencies in the paint, like the odd grain from my primer or basing procedure, weird stuck up bits on the mould etc. Now on the metal this looks OK, as it can be put down to corrosion. Whats the solution for masking these defects on the green sections? I'd like to paint rust or flame blistered paint, but flame blisted paint wouldn't really work on such a small scale (I could flame half the Dread though... :angry: ) and I haven;t got a clue how to do rust blistering. Any ideas for solutions that dont involve sanding whole sections back?

Evilrik Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Use real rust , its a two part rusting compound, one part is an iron based paint , and the second rusting coat is some sort of bizzare compound that makes it oxidise. Brief search ala google = Instant rust in the US. Im in the UK , and I got the same kit , in the Range , but any big craft store should have it under instant rust kit or something like that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89780-dark-angel-mortis-dreadnought-wip/#findComment-1033480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupoLoopy Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 http://www.tvxc.org/minis/dreadnaught4.jpg Latest state of affairs. Quick question, is the stripe on the dreds left leg OK?

(your painting is awesome) No, that's fair enough. I asked for C&C, and your asthetic opinion is just the sort of thing I wanted to hear. Ninth company? Looks very good so far. Phew, at least one person apart from myself can tell it's a company marking. That's a relief... How did you do the metal though? Ask and ye shall receive... 1) Boltgun metal basecoat. 2 )Drybrush Chainmail 3) Drybrush Silver 4) 15:15:70 Black ink:Brown ink:Matt Medium glazed all over, thinned with water to act as flow aid. Repeat as desired. 5) 15:15:70 Brown ink:Chesnut ink:Matt Medium glazed all over, thinned with water to act as flow aid. Repeat as desired.
