JeffTibbetts Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Bahaha. No, it's okay. I was REALLY fiddling with this pose, so I tried just about every configuration and permutation I could think of. The chain blade was the least of my concerns, but it had its day in the sun. I mean, it COULD work the other way, but it just didn't do it for me. The posing is the fun part for me, to be honest. I like painting more these days, now that I'm doing weathering and all that, but really I'm more of a builder by nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobrakei Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I think you've done a grand job of this model. There are always limitations to what you can do with a stock Dreadnought kit, which I think is based around how we as people perceive the sarcophagus as the head, whereas really a Dread would have a 360 degree view. You've worked past that though and produced a great-looking model with a good sense of movement and weight. And glad my bullying subtle suggestion worked :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And glad my bullying subtle suggestion worked Yeah, I give you credit for that along with Dosjetka. This sort of feedback always tells me what I was worried about anyway (consciously or not), but when I get called I'm usually motivated to actually do something about it... That's one of the biggest benefits of actually doing these WIP threads. I still have issues with it, but with the source I think it's as good as it's going to get, honestly.

JeffTibbetts Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Oh thanks! I always enjoyed painting the gem look, but these glowing ones look cooler to me. Plus, they match my Knight. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Okay, it's finished. I posted a new thread in the Hall of Honor if you want to see the final pics. Let's move the convo over there, ladies and gents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
