Lonely Dreadnought

[Connann]

Hello again!

This time I tried to make a lonely and devastated scene from the 41st Millenium; all of it with rust and ancient effects trials.

Three years ago I decided to do an ambitious project, because the quantity of effects that I wanted to give to my Dreadnought. I tried to represent that the machine was dead, fill of rusts. A solitary and ancient titan.

I decided to place the dread tilted towards the left side, as if the "pain" had come from this side and had finished it consuming; I had to retouch the arm of that lateral. I decided to do injuries in the robot armour too.

After that I start the paint time ,very important, because this project needed some dirt accumulated after countless years of loneliness.

And for the scene ... I put 2 soldiers in the center; I wanted they interactuate with the dread, but being the robot always the main character. So I decided for breaking the scene: the soldier is walking but observes the dread, while the sergeant, with cigar in the hand shaped by me, indicates him that it must continue with the march.

In this scene everything interacts, with lines of union between the figures placed to the detail.

As you can see, I tried to paint the miniatures with the scheme of wooded camouflage, but adapted to the environment.

Finally, I am very happy with this work, since it served me to prove a military scene that up to this moment had never made, and of step, prove the use of the rusts.

In addition it helped me to do a work in the style of the Warlike Model-maker, with relaxed scenes but, I believe, with feeling.

I hope you like it!

Very nice!! Just thinking how? I see a bit of damage, but hmm how did it happen? No claw marks etc old blackened holes.. Fantastic paint job top notch!!

Yet again superb weathering and painting. I think a little moss on it would've finished it off nicely and made it appear more forlorn.
