New VSF Steam Walker........NOT BLACK & GOLD!!!!!

[Pappa Midnight]

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.....

Awesome! Love the green and gold 

[Svennn]

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.

[Commander Vyper]

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!

Fabulous! I particularly like the gaslamps either side of the cockpit
