Finally started on my Dreadfleet
« on: September 27, 2012, 05:54:53 PM »
Hi all, I finally started painting up some stuff from the dreadfleet box. Chances are this is an ongoing project for many many years  o_o. C&C more them welcome.

Regards,
Za

Looking real good. You did a spectacular job on these and gave them a good contrast to the awesome painted blue waters.

Good job on these :)

I had a plastic model kit of a ghost ship years ago that came with a small bottle of glow in the dark paint, it reminds me of your ghost ship :)

Wonderful job on the ghost ship...it would be easy to go over the top with that model...but you did it very tastefully.

And I love the kraken thingy...but as Clam mentioned I am most impressed with the water...just awesome!

Cheers,

Blue

Thanks for all the kind words. The ghost ship was pretty easy to paint. Spray white, wash off Thrakka Green and drybrush white. The Kraken thingy I did like I do with most of my metal. Base Boltgun, wash with Devlan mud and then drybrush with a lighter metal (mostly Chainmail). For the water bases: They are beautifully sculpted and come with the ships. I sprayed them white then gave them a coat of regal bleu (I made sure that the whit was still shining through) and then drybrushed the base with white again.

Here is a picture (not the best one I ever made, sorry) off Ze Beasties

Regards,
Za

They look fantastic!  :-*
I have a box lying around as well. I only ever painted one ship, though.  ::)
