UltraRich Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 On impulse I won a last second bid on an Ironclad dread on ebay It had 3 coats of paint on it and after stripping I had a fairly good mini. Ive added Furioso arms and claws (with drops removed) and a venerable dread power plant. Ive still got the rocket launchers, smoke launchers and under belly flamers to add so it'll be tooled up when its done. Heres after the first coat of blue and a quick wash http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC11671.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC11670.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way looking good so far! That could be my trademark just to wind up the "must stay red" brothers. The truth is Im lazy and just pushed them all as far to each side of the desk as I could to make some space for the photos. Ive just painted the base so I'll pop some pics up tomorrow unless I get a chance tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Those parts work fantastically well together, really gives it a mean look. Wonder what it would look like with a Flesh Tearers paintjob? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramell Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Those parts look great together. There's not much paintjob to comment on, but it looks like a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I spy with my little eye... 2 things: - a very promising Ironclad - a conversion of a terminator I also did a while back. Long story cut short: I wish I had completed the paintjob on my kneeling SH terminator, too ^^ thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing the dread done.

UltraRich Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Ive got a chunk of the base done. Ive picked out and washed all the main colours and the same for the legs. They have also had their initial highlight. Its about ready for a blast with the airbrush to dust it all after Ive added some battle damage. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC11672.jpg Heres with the body to give you an idea of the colours Im using http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC11675.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thanks Guys. Unfortunately Ive only got one of these so no presents! :P Ive managed to get some work done on the body tonight. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC11679.jpg Heres the dread with all of the weapon options (remember this was an ebay purchase Ive had to strip) Im not sure about the top mounted rocket launchers. What do you think? http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC11681.jpg Edit: This pic shows how much tidying up Ive got to do! http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC11682.jpg Heres a group shot and a sneak peek of whats coming next http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/SDC11686.jpg This is probably my last post until christmas so everyone have a good one.

blackbabyjesus Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'd give the rockets a miss, they'll clutter it up a bit too much! Aside from that, awesome work, looking forward to seeing it finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Morgan Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I agree with previous comments to skip the rocket/missile launchers. The lines of the dreadnought are really clean and the rocket/missile launchers would really look out of place. Regards, Brother Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NephilimX Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 My personal preference would be without the rockets too, HOWEVER; The biggest thing right now is the state of the rocket pods, with the clean first layers of paint on the rest of the dread I think it makes them look much more awkward than they would fully painted along with the rest of it. So I'll say right now I'm still voting no on the rockets, but maybe you'll want to clean them up and at least slap a nice, even base on them like the rest of the dread, then take another look. They're also not as huge as the ones on the stock ironclad, and feel more natural, which is a huge plus in their favor if you ask me, so if you do decide to add them I don't think it'll detract anything from the model. Just my two cents anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree so Ive spent a couple of hours on cleaning them up and then paining them they are only blu-tacked on so they arent as close to the body as they will be but Im liking them now.

Alpha PTP Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I don't personally care for them, but they don't look bad. Then again, I don't even like putting smoke launchers on my dreads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeMXT Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I've not seen this kit kicking around, not to mention a reconditioned conversion... This looks fantastic! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Ive had a chance to crack out the airbrush so I thought Id have a go at something Ive been wanting to try which is a graduated effect on lightening claws. It works well on GK swords so why not on a dreads claws? I though rather than use blue Id go for red. Im not sure..... bear in mind Im going to paint the base of the claws boltgun silver and the claw ring blue. What do you think? http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_1954.jpg Here it is on black for contrast http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_1957.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think it works - blue claws might end up just disappearing into the body, this way they become just as mush a focal point as the head does. Top work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Quick update. Ive just cleaned up one of the claws and Im now happy with this.
