Rizara Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 first off let me say, that dreadnought is very well painted, and nicely done. THe base is a nice added touch and really brings out the dreadnought. However, the dreadnought to me looks very plain and boring. The pose seems like its just sitting there, turned off/on guard, and although the paint job is well done, and the weathering is nice, it just very bland looking. The dreadnought has no markins, no insignia, no details that make it go over the top. So to me it looks very unfinished for those very reasons. The weathering is good, but even if it was a real life dread, or a rogue dread, it would have some form of markings on it, even if the markings were scratched off or weathered in them selves. Otherwise, great job, but i really felt i should give an honest critique on the model. Congrats on the gold for it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 akaranseth: that dread, for being completely void of heavy (or any?) modification is really, really well done. Awesome weathering technique. BUT maybe more importantly, did you know you are behind on your once per year post count? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven -Grim- M Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 The rust, the snow, the battle damage...awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaranseth Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thank you guys for your comments. As for the marking I had initially planned to have a 43 on the right panel but only remembered to do it once the weathering was well under way... so a little bit late. As for posting more often I'll see the number of space marine i'll bew doing... I am solely a painter and therefore paint what come under my hand. A space marine once in a while but not that often. So next time I have one I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hi...I see you are new here, and obviously new to painting. The dread stinks, and I wouldn't use it as a paper weight. :P ;) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonforge Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Or has a base made from Styrofoam :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagsta Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 the painting is incredible, the snow effect is well done but if i was a golden demon judge the lame pose would have probably influenced my decision in a very negative way just trying to be constructive right here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I loved it in Chicago, I love it here. I'm so full of love, it's frankly nauseating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 congrats on gold, for the paintjob its well deserved as with the base, admittedly as others have said the pose is bland but in my opinion the paintjob really makes up for that what is your recipe for the snow? and are your girders platicard ones that you can buy?

akaranseth Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 what is your recipe for the snow? and are your girders platicard ones that you can buy? Snow is a mix of bicarbonate, pva glue and water. Once set and dry I glue powdered glass with thin down pva glue. I usually add gloss medium in my mix to make it glossy depending on the effect but here I forgot... the joys of finishing a piece at 5am...

Muskie Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Good work, dreadnoughts can be fun to paint. Congradulations winning without a forgeworld model. Good to see the strirations and weathering techniques are still apprechiated. I'm going to have to come up with some new tricks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 OUCH!!! Getting double-teamed! Seriously, Mathieu...it was a great piece, and the story behind it's completion makes it that much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 You know, Mathieu, you do have that lovely Games Day marine now! :( I'm sure you could do something great with him! haha Great work on the Dreadnought though, I liked it a lot! :unsure: It did pretty well for supposedly being painted with crap! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 i think thats awesome n i think its great that u have let the paintjob do the talking as opposed to relying on any extensive conversions nice one ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Donute Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 simply amazing, the pose looks a bit "smile for the camera" like, but everything else is just fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 the simplicity of the piece is what drew me in..then the painting. phenomenal. sometimes taking it back to the good ole days of GD is a good thing..think your gold makes that apparent congrats man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
