MattCrawford Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Nicely done, though the paint looks a bit thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradigm Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 This looks awesome, I'm totally doing my next dread this way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCrawford Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Damn spray gun. If only it worked as well as that 'Eavy Metal spraygun they posted for April Fool's Day ;) Â By the way, do the FW dreads allow you to pose it like that out of the box, or did you do some conversion work?

-JK- Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Really nice job! Well done. Â I don't know why, but for some reason the way you painted the metal parts really pleases me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The Body, Head and Arms can all be posed like that. But DarkMoonlight has done a nice tidy piece of work on the legs there. Very nice mate, realy captures the feel of it :D Â CTK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardousZERO Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I envy you. I love the dread especially the pose. Any chance we can get some more angels on it. Â BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMoonlight Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 no i had to do a load of cutting to get it like that, the body, and arms are possable, but i had to cut the leg at the thigh joint and move it around, then a heated the toes and curled them around as you can see in the next pics, thanks all for the possitive comments though, funny you should say about the metal jk, i entered it into a painting comp at my local gw store and due to the metallic work i only got second, they said it was too patchy, the thing i was going for was patchy as i wanted to look old and beaten up but hey ho never mind seconds good enough for me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Reaper Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'd like to see what you can do about a Brass Scorpion. No doubt it would look epic, as your dread does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardousZERO Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Just a side note those look like some fake toy boobs in the bg. Just an observation. Â And thanks for the quick reply on the side shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Very sweet dread mate! You can't go wrong with two-arm-killy-ness :)  I like the dark red, gives it a more sinister look as ópposed to the BA bright red some go with (well I shouldn't talk since the dead world eaters on my bases are bright red ).  But I imagine that he breaks of the base quite often? The pose is sweet, but with so little contact to the base it just seems like a pain.  hazardousZERO: Oh I used to have one of those! It's filled with air/liquid ( was years ago, can't remember ), and was sold as a version of the stress reliever balls. The type you just squeeze in your hand real hard as an outlet.  Oh the memories :)  Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Patchy does not equal old and weather beaten :P You want to get a nice smooth full coat of gold on there and then go for the damage and chips. Remember the gold is supposed to be actual metal, not just painted on :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMoonlight Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 yes they are fake boobs, mother bought them for me for xmas!! nope not broken off yet, the foot thats on the base is stuck to milliput with pins underneath that i caked in glue and the more milliput to hold it in place so touch wood its ok lol and yea im still trying to get gold looking right.

Mahoo Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I realy like the pose But I think you need to add some gore and chunks to the chain axes maybe a few cut up xeno scum at his feet :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMoonlight Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 i actually wanted to add more to the base but was on a schedual with him and just ran outta time had to get him into my local gw and ended up finishing him before i went to work lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
