Thoqqu Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Old dreadgnouth after cleanup. http://i58.tinypic.com/1r2jyw.jpg To illustrate the horror this fig went through here is a smokelauncher before cleanup. http://i58.tinypic.com/j180ib.jpg Taking shape http://i62.tinypic.com/easd94.jpg Some AM in the background. .. http://i60.tinypic.com/1625oye.jpg Ready for washes http://i61.tinypic.com/6yff37.jpg First ever attempt at object source lighting. Still lots of fine tuning to be done... http://i57.tinypic.com/2ztdnrq.jpg The turqouse plasma cannon overheated so while off-camera we changed in this purple one... http://i61.tinypic.com/14c4lrm.jpg Ready to be based http://i60.tinypic.com/33e4z9i.jpg My painting skills don't do honor to this model. Still it's not for the lack of effort. 14 different paints but end result looks pretty much the same as the stage with 3 colours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Nice. Look forward to progress on paint, I like the look of these older Chaos Dreads, but always shied away myself because I learned on plastic. I'm slowly reworking one of the RT era Chaos Dreads, and I've got a metal Throne of Judgment that's waiting to be converted. These big metal multipart figures are intimidating to me because I'm not used to pinning and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoqqu Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Mix of brute force, freezer and boiling water. I tried to carve off the decade(?) old greenstuff but it didn't really like that so I went online to find some help... Many people were suggesting different kind of chemicals but I didn't have any available so I tried boiling. After about 10 min the stuff was noticeably softer and I was actually able to peel layers off, however it didn't come off completely. I tried freezing, this made it a little fragile and I were able to chip some fragments off but ended up boiling it some 30 minutes more and after that I managed to clean the most of it. Then it was fine tuning with tweezers and needle. Paint was removed with your average nail polish remover and old toothbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Mustard Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thanks! My recipe spray some oven cleaning product in a plastic bag on the model. (don't breath above the bag!!!) Let it rest over a night. Clean it under water with a good brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoqqu Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Renovation of the glorious war engine proved to be a task unfit for the rank and file marines but fear not! The gods have answered and sent this warpsmith to take charge of the operation. http://i61.tinypic.com/29e65uq.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
