Hi All,
I have started to build a dreadnought, tech Preist and three ultra marines for the 2013 carnivals. Below is a picture to give you an idea of what is in store.
1: The dread will have 10 speakers, so the dreadnought can speak to the crowd and give orders to the Ultramarines with me.
2: The dreadnought will have an Assualt cannon that spins with a radio control car motor with lights in the tubes so it can be seen at night.
3: Missile launcher will have 8 speakers acting as missiles to hide them in the costume.
4: A 4ft banner on top to make the dreadnought 12ft high, this should give good size to my kids playing the space marines.
5: It will be 2 metres wide and 1 metre deep.
This has already been started, photos Below.
This will be updated as I get more info on the carnivals that the Dreadnought will enter weather permiting.

even though they dont know it untill they are faced with it.

The five costumes I have to make are below,just click the picture to make it bigger.I have until June to make all five.
The picture is the closest I could find to give you an idea of what is instore. The space marines will not have helmets.
The tech preist may have an bionic eye of some kind and a white robe a bit like the one in the photo.
The dreadnought and the tech priest will enter the carnival as walking pairs. the three kids in there class.
If any one is interested in Joining any of the carnivals listed above, You need a costume you made yourself and get an entry from nearer the time.
If you have not seen bridgwater carnival, its a sight to behold and to enter it is even better.
For now we have to prepare, lots of fun to come.

Space Marine Dreadnought
Standing three times the height of a man, these towering war machines bare powerful weapons and are as lethal at range as in close assault. A chapter's Dreadnoughts are treasured relics, only awoken in great need. Encased inside every Dreadnought, lies a mighty space marine hero, who has suffered grievous wounds in battle, saved only by his interment.
The Hellfire Dreadnought replaces the standard Dreadnought Powerfist with a Missile Launcher, trading its close combat ability for long-range, anti-vehicle firepower. The advantage of the Dreadnought's Missile Launcher over its Space Marine equivalent is that it is capable of moving at full speed whilst still laying down a barrage of missiles. Hellfire Dreadnoughts are usually referred to as Fire Support Dreadnoughts. The Hellfire Dreadnought's Missile Launcher carries up to 8 Krak Missiles that are capable of causing severe damage to enemy vehicles, and unlike the Missile Launchers carried by Space Marine infantry, the Dreadnought is fully capable of firing accurately whilst moving. The Hellfire Dreadnought can use any weapon in the Astartes Armoury other than a Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon or another Missile Launcher as its other weapon arm. A Dreadnought using either of those two configurations will be classified as either a standard Mars Pattern Dreadnought or a Mortis Dreadnought, respectively.

"Whilst we stand, we fight. Whilst we fight, we prevail. Nothing shall stay our wrath."
—Marneus Calgar, Master of the Ultramarines
The Ultramarines are considered one of the strongest and most honoured of all the Space Marine Chapters in the Imperium of Man, and were responsible for almost single-handedly holding the Imperium together after the Horus Heresy. Highly disciplined and courageous warriors, the Ultramarines have remained true to the teachings of their Primarch Roboute Guilliman for 10,000 standard years. The Ultramarines were originally the XIII Space Marine Legion before the reforms that initiated the Second Founding and reshaped the Imperium after the Heresy on the orders of Guilliman himself.
The name "Ultramarines" is a nod to both the Chapter's standing amongst the other Space Marine Chapters and their role as the source for the gene-seed of more Chapters of Astartes than any of the other former First Founding Legions combined. The culture of the Ultramarines is loosely themed upon the culture of Old Earth's ancient Roman Empire, as exemplified in their Astartes' pseudo-Latin names and their strict adherence to the Codex Astartes, as well as the society of their homeworld of Macragge and the Chapter's method of recruitment. The Ultramarines directly rule the sector of space in the Eastern Fringe known as Ultramar as a fief of the Imperium and their Chapter Master is also considered the Lord of Macragge and the Master of Ultramar.
