I have just finished painting my dred and think it looks great, but feel i could improve the base.
What do you guys think?

Plus i need your opinion on the looted wagon barrel.
Its just rough at the moment, i will go back and orky it up if you guys like it.

Liking the dred dude, like the use of the SM dred legs, works well, looks a bit tall tho.

Loving the barrel, very orky, i just like the size

The gun barrel is looking a tad under-done for an ork so far imo
The sort of auto cannon style with the big muzzle bit looks good to me. And an assort ment of plates bent around the shape of it.

The dread is pretty bitchin too. Im personally not too fond of the piddly legs that are on an ork dread or kan . . . just looks like it would sorta waddle side to side with no forward movement . . . if I got the chance i'd get my hands on sentinal legs and beef them up abit

The dred does look pretty damn nice. Im going to build another dred using SM dred legs as well, so nice call lol

As for the looted wagon gun it is way to under done. adding some thicker tubing at the end will make it look better for starters. And if you dont have thicker tubing, you can easily make the ends a bit blown out looking. As if something was stuck into the barrel and it went off blowing the ends out. That would make the barrel look like there was more going on. Pretty much anything that makes it less like a tube and more like something Orks have
Nice work BTW

Very good looking dred

Hmmmm Im not sure I agree with "the gun looks too underdone for orks" because IMO some orks put way too much (its never too much dakka actually) on there stuff while some might cut a hole in the gun hatch throw on a giant pipe, load it, hope it works and call it a day.

Agreed it does look really underdone... just saying its possible for orks to do something like that

Dude, thats some nifty painting!Nicely done!

Drill some holes on the gun barrel.

Thanks for your comments.
I am going to add some detail to the barrel and get it painted.
Then ill post some more pic.

I think your dread is really nice.

For the barrel I think it would look even better with some kind of extra support, a smaller cut open (about half) and shordet pipe under it?
