steam dreadnought - conversion

[Decoy]

I tried to cook this converted dreadnought in steampunk style. For this purpose parts of usual GW dread were assembled in other order , right hand was made from styrofoam (all that is white in unpainted mini), lot of green stuff and clock wheels were added and all was glued, painted, shot and baked 45min in heavy heated stove. Hope that taste is oily, metallic and bitter enough for the steam device.

My good friend, Loki, being inspired by idea, made this amazing collage, which makes my work part of some neovictorian reality

Enjoy!

Very cool! It looks really great. I love the conversion work and the painting is very good too. Still, the newspaper montage makes this even better!

Great conversion, great paint job and a prety nice base. The newspaper part just makes it that much better.

Excellent work all around.

Lovely and imaginative stuff. I can\'t really find any fault with the conversion or paint job, and I agree, the newspaper article is a perfect addition. I\'m guessing your friend is some sort of web designer because that looks like a lot of Flash sites I have been to.

Haha, excellent...... I LOVE the Newspaper montage... very nice Idea, very unique... your execution is done very goooood, I love the Steam Fist...

Would improve the static of the torso a bit (like not just one big chunk... maybe something moving in the middle...) and maybe make the Clockwork more realistic (it could come from the inside, forming a System... the glued Clockwork on the Front shield is a bit too symbolic, I guess...)...

You could use wood or more filigrane steel construcions to make the Dread more unclear......

Just some advises... the Result is very good, that´s for sure... 10 Points......

Nice work. Love the conversion, the paint job and the newspaper piece.

imagine showing somebody that picture of the newspaper clip 20 years ago they would freak..

Nice original theme for a dreadnought well executed..would love to see other elements of the marines get punk\'d

 

[Decoy]

Thanks to all.

High mark from man, who knows what steampunk is. Your submarine is a good source of steam inspiration )
PS of course, clockwork on the shield is just symbol of the Mechanus temple

to demonherald
no marines - it will be Krieg imperial guard

 

[OrkyDave]

very original and very well done. This rocks, and the paper article is a superb little touch.

very impressed by the thought and originality that went into this piece and the execution matches it though would like to see pictures showing some of the dtail from behind.

Coool! Can\'t fault the painting or converting, it\'s all very nice! And yeah.. the newspaper thing makes it even better! Great idea!

Fantastic.

[hakoMike]

Great concept and execution!

How much of it went into the oven? Even the styrofoam?!?

 

[Onis Lair]

Love it, the idea is cool and well done and the newspaper picture just adds a nice touch.

 

[philologus]

I love this as much as that mug you posted a while back. You have this Victorian steam genre thing nailed down. No criticism here.
