I used a Ork Killer Kan face plate on my dread, figured he could use some personality. Please let me know what you guys think of it.

Very cool and unique idea!

Haha he looks so happy, I love it. Whenever he does something, give him the voice from the space ship in hitchhiker's guide (movie, since the book doesn't have sound sadly). Then make a sad floaty dread, and give it the voice of the depressed robot.

Absolutely love the idea. Almost completely thrilled with the execution, save for one problem: I hate hoversticks. I know it's a tall order, but the only way I can ever be satisfied completely with a hovering model is if the hover-rod is either concealed completely within the terrain or nonexistent. (In this case, some aspect of the terrain is concealing the support.) I think the reason I like this so much is that I didnt notice the rod at first. On the tabletop, as a tall person, I think my natural view of it would be at such an angle that I wouldn't normally see the rod, which makes it work very very well. And the paint job is pretty frickin sweet.

Sweet! It makes me miss that robot that came with the old NES cant remember his name???

Haha, he looks so happy nice model very unique idea.

Hover dread? AWESOME!

What is it exactly that makes him hover?

Happy hover dread!

Very nice!

i like the face

A great idea, and great execution. A++, would look at again.

I had tried not use the clear stick underneath him, but it was proving to much for me. I had him holding onto some barrels, but it proved to unstable. So i stuck with the clear stick. Thx for all the possitive feedback, I really appreciate it .

Is that a top hat?

It is a sensor, that just happens to look like a top hat. lol yeah it is a Top hat. I was trying to work a pimp cane to go with it, but i couldn't find a good one.

Strangely cool!

Reminds me of a securitron from Fallout New Vegas lol.

Definitely looks like it's smiling at me.

You know, before it makes me go "sqoosh"
