The torso is mostly completed and painted (additional decoration will probably be added as a last step once the dread is finished). Here is a spin of the current state (since I am still limited to only 5 spins the lifetime of this link is not likely to be more than a few months)...

small update, I have now finished the leg assembly including all armour plating and done the armour for the backpack as well as fixed the backpack. I still need to add hoses to the back pack as well as the head/sarcophagus and armour plates on the shoulders, then I'll start on the arms

Yes if you look back in this thread you'll see that I did something similar for the second dreadnought. Initially I had done it so the leg could pivot around it but the glue just welded everything together but it ended up for the best

will drilling work on a single non laminated sheet? In this case I have the single thickness perforated cylinder which is then backed by a multilayer non perforated one. The non perforated layer is painted black and the peforated one rust color. Since these perforated cylinders either exhausts...

I have worked on the backpack which is the last part of the dreadnought "skeleton" and contains the power plant. Here are the pics pic1: using thick cardboard for reinforcement pic2: the backpack done, waiting for paint. Note the rivet made with a puncher, they are a bit big but can't really...

attempted to make a 360 spin of the dread 2, the result is not up to what I'd like, mostly an issue with lighting and the platform not being stable enough. I'll try again later. In the meantime you can still see it here: http://www.bcerrina.com/stormtalon_spin2/config-dread.html

Lots of fun, you are missing a picture with a real Lego minifig

painted the skeleton, there are still a few "skeleton" parts in the back pack but I wanted to paint this part first as some area will be hard to reach once the backpack is installed. Anyway here are some pics, I have used a very simple scheme (after all it is only the skeleton), after the black...

OK here is the build continuing, I am done with the "skeleton", basically the parts of the dreadnought which are common to all dreadnoughts. Pic 1: preparing the knees. Pic 2: The assembled legs including ankle hydraulics Pic 3: the feet and greebles on the top of the torso Pic 4: complete...

Really nice

Pic 1: preparing the connections between torso and shoulders. Note the paper cylinders which are full and the 3 layers of disks which have all been laminated on paper up to about .5mm thickness Pic 2: the connections are attached to the torso (the lines on the torso make me think that I should...

I think the quad gun itself is defined in this one <edited, embedded the image instead of linking>

HeHe, the scale was clear for me since I have built the model. The scale for warhammer is 28mm meaning a normal human model should have on average that height. The "heroic" scale means that most figures are closer to 30mm than 28 but when there is a figure it gives a better sense of scale.

I would think that quad las cannons would be very good against other vehicles (flyers but specially tanks) and the missiles for infantry, anyway looking very good, will you be balancing it by adding weight to the rear?

thanks Armorman, this looks 2.5D more than a real paper model like the ones we make but it also looks like it would be quick to build. I checked the site indicated and it looks like it has disappeared. What do you think about the ones built by Almonds (the one shown in the link I posted), I...

Hello, I have found this: http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?56-Scratchbuilt-Jacks I wonder if anybody knows of templates for building warjacks similar to those (I know that in this case those are scratch built from paper with no templates)

what will you put instead of the wings? I would have thought that enlarged missile pods which could be rotated would have fit nicely.

Very nice. And the in focus pictures really show much better how good the result must look in real life. I am still wondering if there is any way you could disassemble the orange power supply and hide it in the base. Maybe by making the base higher

nice

I used the styrene for two reasons: 1st I bought those sheets so I am trying to find uses for them in places were I can learn how to use them without being too visible if I mess up. This is my first time using them except for dread2 claws and chainfist. 2nd I thought (still do) that the...
