Finding a few fleeting moments last week, I have managed to complete this model. Well mostly anyway. I have some decal ideas I want to try out. But here it is 95% done.
 |
| Done but for the decals. |
The finals steps to get me here are next. The first step being painting the hatch. This didn't take hardly any time at all.
 |
| Hatch applied and painted. |
Next I painted the windows. It still cracks me up that these dreads would have windows, but hey, there they are!
 |
| Windows painted. |
Then I focused on the weapons. I chose to make this one's fuel tanks a brighter red that
last year's dread.
 |
| Fuel tank painted. |
After a few touch-ups, I decided that this was actually done! So after finishing the painting of the base, grass tufts were added.
 |
| Tuft love. |
There are two skulls, 'umie of course, that had to be finished also.
 |
| More grass tufts. |
 |
| Pretty much done! |
I hope to get some outside natural lighting pics soon, however it was raining when I last had the opportunity to do that. Since I have some decal ideas this is probably for the best anyway.
Great stuff! A very cool looking dread and a great paint job to match!
ReplyDeleteSweeeeeet. No school like the old school!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, your kind responses mean a lot to me! I am pleased with how well this turned out. I have more ork models to paint in this scheme, which I hope to do before the year is out.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful. Great work to bring an old model to life.
ReplyDeleteIt's enormously delightful, I love the way you approached to this beauty.
