He took about 10 hours, from start to finish. Also, the first time I seriously played around with GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavotte Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What did you use for the scrolls? Looks like paper, but I'm not too sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulricarus Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 if this is your first time using GS then you are a very talented/gifted guy, it looks great, though highlighting would be a good finishing touch. looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merc3065 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 YAY! Someone else who doesn't highlight! Im still experimenting with the slightly lighter than chaos black for highlights. Love the dreadnought and the pics are perfect for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortum Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thank you! For the scrolls, I use my wifes old tea llights after she's finished with them. They are little candles with an aluminum thing they sit in. I cut them so that they lay flat, roll my xacto over it to make sure it's completely flattened. Then cut to shape and bend. They are thick enough to hold whatever shape you put them in, but thin enough to actually work with. If you have a wife/mom/gramma, chances are they have a few. I could take some pics of how I do it, if ya want. As for shading, I'm not sure if I want to? My modeling background is in 1/35th scale WW2 stuff, so sometimes the 'citadel' style of painting is to much. That and I'm not very good at it yet...

Fausto2071 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 looks really awesome~what did you use for the scroll name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortum Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Did it in pencil first, then just used my smallest brush, same with the lettering on the scrolls and purity seals. You can't really tell from the pictures, but I used black ink w/ a touch of red and brown ink. It gives it a little flavor, kinda looks alittle more aged then just staight black ink.

merc3065 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Just gotta be careful about the sharp points on the aluminum. Do you do anything special to take away any of the sharper edges like folding or covering the edges in something like putty or what not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I think the model looks beautiful, and perfect without highlighting. Well done model, love the conversions youve added. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messanger of Death Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 WOW!!!! Normally I dont like the Dreadnought with that sort of sarcophagus (prefer the ones with a head). But your Dreadnought is just so stunning, and the lighting makes the model look like it has highlights. But if you are unsure how to go about highlighting black then this Link should give you some ideas. Cheers, Messanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iago Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I like it, very clean paint job. Love the conversion work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Your dreadnought looks great, I never would have thought to use the metal from a tea light, that's awesome. I love dreadnoughts. I think it comes from watching battle tech when I was younger. The idea of walking around in an armored suit is just appealing. I just posted some WiP pics of my second dread in the WiP section.

Messanger of Death Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I just Googled Tea Light and now that I know what it is, I just realised I have a load of those. Consider that idea stolen. But I am curious as to how you cut them. Like did you use clippers or scissors or something else? Cheers, Messanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
