Hi guys,

I finished my dreadnought a little while ago and decided to base it on an ice base.
But I do have some space left to decorate the base...but no ideas..
Any suggestions or ideas how to get the base to "pop"?

I was so looking forward to seeing something truly epic:

Dreadnoughts on ice!

Giving Disney a right run for it's money.

Back to your question. I would make some larger ice crystals to break up the texture a bit.

Maybe some white onto them?. Would break them up from the base more and be eye catching that was as well.

Thanks guys, i think ill try to create some icicles from the leftover spurs and glue them on the base.

What about some weathering, snow and icicles on the dreadnought?
It would look even cooler.

Well it definitely would look cool ;-)
but I'm actually really happy with my paintjob on the model and I fear i could destroy the paintjob in the process.
I'll have to practice weathering first...
