Imperial Fists - Dreadnought THOR

Science Fiction

28mm

Oh well, for my 49th mini (celebrating on my 50th mini would've been too obvious, huh?) I decided to paint my first "big" model, although Dreadnoughts aren't as big as they're supposed to be, after all :) Anyway, as with most (all?) of my minis, this is intended for tabletop gaming and nothing more, but that didn't stop me from trying something new :) First of all, the torso isn't glued to the legs, but pinned, so that I can turn it anytime and anywhere I want and make funny mechanic-rotating noises with my mouth :D Then, I drilled some bullet-holes in the armour and made some scratches - Dreadnoughts are supposed to fight for centuries, so I never understood their constant as-new look. Last, I experimented a bit with dirt. I mean, how's a yellow walking grave like this supposed to be shiny and clean, seeing how big its exhaust pipes are and how much terrain its weight is going to lift at each step? Making the yellow look dirty wasn't that hard, after all, except for the top of the Dreadnought, where I tried to "simulate" the stains from the exhauts pipes' smoke and flames. As usual, comments are badly needed and really appreciated. For Dorn! ;)

Looks rather nice - certainly an improvement :) Personally, I don't like all the bullet holes (but that's just me ;)). I'd put an Armour Ink wash over all the metal to dull it down, and drybrush over the exhausts with a Black Ink/Brown Ink mix to discolour them a little.

yeah, that's really better than your previous works here! your highlighting has become better, in my opinion this is a very good mini for gaming: i'd only add a little more shading with a brown and a bit of highlight on red cheers Luca

allora; innanzitutto vedo che hai seguito i consigli e hai di molto limitato la giallosità, creando un tono decisamente più realistico e accattivante, anche l'idea che sembri rovinato mi piace. il metallo non è male anche se visto il resto del modello io l'avrei fatto un pò più sporco e rugginoso...tipo con un semplice lavaggio di brown+black ink diluito. considerando che si tratta di un pezzo da gioco va più che bene...l'unico vero neo è il bianco; cerca di arrivarci da un'altro colore, almeno uno, tipo bleached bone o space wolf gray, esattamente come hai fatto col giallo. considerando i tuoi vecchi pezzi direi che hai fatto passi da gigante il sette quindi te lo do di incoraggiamento! se continui così presto troverai una via semplice ed d'effetto per la tua armata. BRAVO!
