Hey y'alls. I am again doing one of the things I love most: kitbashing/customising dreadnoughts. The following is the first dreadnought I have built from scratch/parts, not relying on any dreadnought kit.

Help and evaluation would be appreciated. I realise the model is massive in comparison to a normal one, but, hey, that's okay.

I like the idea/direction, but you should cut that down a bit smaller.

It's a bit hard to do at this point. I'd have to take the entire thing apart, file everything down completely, and lose the curvature in the "sarcophagus".

I don't mind it being larger, the other dreadnought's i'd made are all larger, but they feel better when standing next to a space marine.

Besides, the "core" of the body is identically sized.

Having stared at the thing though, I'm not sure what to do with the keypad at the bottom.

I know, the problem is I am working from the scale of the sarcophagus, and I did not want to cut it down. And then if it's big... I have NO problem with it being so. its not like I am trying to lay the cheeze on anyway. I don't know why I am building it either, I only have room for one dreadnought in my army list.
