Hi all,
Just finished a new steam walker. This time I decided on a different colour scheme using green and brass instead of my usual black and gold.
It's a converted GW Grey Knight Dreadnought with a scratch-built cockpit complete with gentleman pilot and some added boilers. I think it might be a little more Steampunk than VSF ( especially with the massive gatling!!!) but I'm reasonably pleased with the way it turned out. The zombie getting stomped on was my wife's idea.....

Regards

Lovely

Only complaint from me is that I cannot see a clear view of the pilot

Best use of a Dreadknight I've seen so far, bar none.

Nice Al, and nice colour varient from your black and gold, (which is also lovely).

As Chris says 'great use of a dreadknight'! It almost makes it worth buying just to do that to it. Great paint job to!!

Okay, your thread title had me literally

-ing

Very very nice, with just one small complaint. Those round, cleanly form-fitting, and clearly un-Victorian surface plates on the arms and legs take away from the VSF/Steampunk-ness a bit.

Not sure what might've worked to disguise this. Maybe a couple of options:

- Styrene plates over the curves to square off the limbs surfaces and create more distinct plates.
- Double-layering the plates over the curved surfaces (with say, cardboard), with the raised, glued-on plate being smaller than the stock coverings. Sort of like this as a cross-section of the surfaces: __=====__ (imagine the underscore goes all the way along too)
- Cosmetic stuff like more rivets (more rivets!) along the edges or a pinstripe just inside the border.

On the other hand, it looks great, matches all your existing stuff, and is done - so don't mess with it!
