my build of patorochs dreadnought MKV,arkon

[arkon]

so far this is where i am at with this build. kinda tricky cause i am not sure how an actual GW dread looks.and this one has parts that are not identified int the call out sheet, but here it is so far=

mostly 110lb paper with some cartons of cracker boxes.

 

[arkon]

got the legs done and the power claw.

 

[inky]

I am not sure how one looks either but from what you are doing it looks real good.

 

[Sanginus]

Dread looks good, nice build. :thumb:
But the fingers of the claw,
me personally would it be too thin.
I would fear that they break

 

[arkon]

thinking about trying to make the claw into a blood talon

 

[Sanginus]

I'm curious about the outcome,
blood talon might be for my angels

 

[arkon]

sanginus- yep i'm going red! blood angels all the way!
do you have any pictures of the blood claw and talon?

goin red

gonna try some painting tricks on this one

 

[Sanginus]

Hi, maybe this pictures you can use as reference?


here the blood claws:

and finally here the original Parts of the talon:

mounted at the model

hope this helps further, I think it's a tiny work, to build these claws, good luck :twisted:

 

[arkon]

thanks! i'll try to make some this weekend and post some pics!

 

[arkon]

sorry i cheated and just used the mk4 claws for now.
here are the arms i got so far

not to happy with the plasma gun but all the rest i think are good!

 

[Sanginus]

hi, great photos, very impressive!

I managed to find the weapons poor great
including the plasma gun!
The always looks kind of like a bread box.
Since you can not change much to it, I think.
Is just an ugly weapon ;-)

 

[arkon]

well, here is my go on a second one. took a little more time with it

 

[deadpoolclone]

Those look really quite amazing if I say so myself. Like sanginus, I know a bit about dreadnaughts and 40k in general and those are spot on. From what I've seen as far as paper models go I'm not a fan of painted ones but that's just me, but judging from the dread in the back round, I'm sure you can make it look great.

Seeing how if that was a real world, and in real worlds, people paint things, I think painting, done right, brings the model out. I almost long for the days before printers, when you made models from scratch, and painted them out. So many models are made pre-printed, with people adding shadows for raised effect, they are starting to look like those cheap tin toys that had the everything painted on a stamped out shell.

Let's bring some realism back!! Outstanding job Arkon!! Keep them coming!!

 

[Sanginus]

Ahh, how could I have missed this post here.
(perhaps because of Christmas) :twisted:

They both look really good, well built,
there have even been worth investing a little more time. :thumb:

I think we should sometimes present a model painted finish ?

Thanks to "deadpoolclone" for the bump

 

[arkon]

hopefully i will be painting these two completly once i finish the tank,gonna paint them all at the same time so i do not have to mix up 3 batches of paint and hope they all match!
