Well got another local painting comp coming - Best Monster/Vehicle...

 

Left over from the Pre-heresy Emperor's Children Dread I did recently

I had enough stuff for a Kit-bash Furioso and here it is...

Thanks Winter... I see what you mean, may try to fix the cylinders if I can bring myself to repaint those areas. The thick bits of highlight are somewhat of a challenge for me to fix as I have a benign familial intention tremor, kind of frustrating when doing small details, and in real life some of the thick highlights aren't noticable (thankfully)...

 

Cheers for the feedback.

 

Note: I noticed myself that I'd forgotten the targeting lenses and the searchlight, these are now painted in gem-style green and glow-style yellow respectively... May do an updated pic showing these once I'm happy with any other adjustments that I end up making...

 

Laterz...

Well it's supposed to be a hexagrammic ward rather than a hebrew symbol, but then again the idea of this:

Piloting a dreadnought is rather amusing... :-P

My comment was meant thoroughly tongue in cheek, no offence meant, was actually a reference to that particular fictional character rather than a general stereotype... Of course if any offence was caused to anyone - humble apologies...

 

Anyway back on-topic - I think I see what you are referring to with regards the thickness, The paint was properly thinned but yes, a couple of the edge highlights do look rather thick in the pictures, it does look better in real life, but I think a little extra battle damage in that area should help break it up...

 

I also noted myself that I haven't done the cables on the claws, will rectify that after work today.

 

Thanks for the feedback...

That looks good, I'm using that kit to build a post-heresy Word Bearer's Dread, looks like we've had a coule of similar ideas!

 

Mine looks like this:

I'm also planning on going down the non-metallic route with mine, any advice you can give although I'm probably not doing Sky/Earth style.

It's all good :)

 

Battle damage, hmmmmm. I'm thinking that's a good idea.

 

Look forward to progress :D

You think a thread may be dead and ignore it for a couple of days....

 

OK - I did get the highlighted problem areas sorted and some pics may filter their way through at some point.

However I ended up winning the competition this was painted for so it's now sitting in GW Poole's display cabinet...

 

MaliGn - True enough, some similar ideas. Your flames on the right leg look good, I can't really comment on the

rest of the sculpting work because I can't see it that well on the pic. Like the SM being crushed as well.

Only suggestion I would have would be to cover up the areas that you've been carving/filing off the detail work as

they look a little rough at the moment, otherwise good stuff. As far as an NMM tutorial, there are much better people

out there than me, a searchy should find a good tutorial... BTW, the metallics on this are actually TMM not NMM, I used

boltgun-mithril for the upper half and tinbitz - boltgun for the lower half, need practice but happy with it as a 1st attempt.

 

DA:T - I know, still can see how it could have been seen as offensive and no harm in clarifying/apologising...

 

army310 - thanks, I do have numerous other things that I've posted over the last few years since I joined, however

whilst I have the 2nd half of the Space Hulk terminators to paint and another unit of two of Iron Warriors to finish

(to my gaming standard) after that I have a 2000pt Dark Eldar army to do, so may be absent from here for a while.

(unless the mods were to allow pics of said dark eldar, which they (quite rightly) don't)...

 

Laterz...
