World eaters dread

[DarkMoonlight]

Posted a topic a little while back on how to convert a dread so it was running, eventually i took the leap and started chopping up a forgeworld one lol and well im pretty pleased with the results.

Nicely done, though the paint looks a bit thick.

[DarkMoonlight]

yea i used the srpay gun wish i hadn't now but hey ho lol

[S. Bloodhowl]

Baywatch springs to mind...

 

Awesome model mate

[Paradigm]

This looks awesome, I'm totally doing my next dread this way!

[MattCrawford]

Damn spray gun. If only it worked as well as that 'Eavy Metal spraygun they posted for April Fool's Day ;)

 

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-]

Really nice job! Well done.

 

I don't know why, but for some reason the way you painted the metal parts really pleases me...

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

I envy you. I love the dread especially the pose. Any chance we can get some more angels on it.

 

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!

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

I'd like to see what you can do about a Brass Scorpion. No doubt it would look epic, as your dread does.

Just a side note those look like some fake toy boobs in the bg. Just an observation.

 

And thanks for the quick reply on the side shots.

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!

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 :)

[DarkMoonlight]

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]

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

[DarkMoonlight]

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
