I'm with Dreadnought on this one! the guy has been doing really well to post things on the blog and even had the time to put up a video for you all to see it in action!! (which i feel is more than some deserve right now). Quite simply people have patience! We are all human and we cant control the weather!!

@DreadnoughtMC: you have an amazing project going and im impressed with the work done! Keep it up! Looking forward to when things clear up over on your end cause im sure it must be really annoying for you to not be able to carry on with it yourself!

Good Luck Dread, Looking forward to the finished product. Take your time and more Importantly, Enjoy yourself while making it

When he finished the weather dominator and turns off the rain and humidity he would have posted more. Now because of YOU and a small minority of other posters and your sense of entitlement and childish badgering, he won't be posting anything. Awesome work. :clap:

really I made a point, am I apologetic nope not in the least. I feel what insainiak says and he's right maybe we did pester A BIT but I stated my reasons and as for the childishness the door swings two wys their buddy This is an open forum and I am entitled to my opinon as long as I don't make mean spirited attacks at another.

No, but you did violate Rule #1.. Your comments were definitely impolite, which is especially frowned upon in the Painting and Modelling forums. You contributed nothing to the thread with these comments and simply antagonized the original poster.

If you continue to violate the Dakka rules, further disciplinary action will be taken.

Thank you.

Best of luck to you in this project- looking forward to the finished product pics, the anitcipation will be palpable, but I'm sure it will also be worth the wait to see.

@Dread: I live in south florida so i know how much it sucks when it rains and ruins plans. Dont let people get to you man! This is a great blog and I always come by and check the progress. Keep taking photos and share it with us when you are done! Looking foward to when you finish! good luck man!

Yeh, I'm sorry if I pestered you, coz I'm not sure, but if I did then Sorry. Return to updates when you are ready, and want to.

Indeed.

Which makes the behaviour of some posters in this thread completely inexcusable.


Nobody is under any obligation to post updates at your demand. Badgering the poster despite his giving reasons for there being a delay in updates, complaining that the thread isn't really a Blog because it's not updated fast enough to suit some personal opinion on an appropriate rate of updates or because you think there aren't enough photos and just generally being rude are in no way conducive to 'having fun and sharing cool stuff we build'.


I for one am just blown away by the progress on this so far, and would hope that the project continues... at whatever speed DreadnoughtMC feels like. And I would hope that some people take some time to consider their behaviour and apologise for the carry-on.

Could not have said it better.

Damnit.. I haven't peeked in on this thread for a couple of days, and the kids have gone berserk and demanded pics every friggin' post!

*slaps them with a dreadnought close combat weapon*

NOT COOL, man! Dread, I apologize on behalf of these unbehaving critters, and hope you raise yourself above them and simply ignore their constant picture-demanding whine.. -can one actually perform a demanding whine?-

I do have a more personal question, though.. Since this Dreadnought costume of yours is going to rather on the "broad load" size, how are you going to solve the.. ah.. "potty" problem? you know, when nature calls, do you simply open up some little hatch or something similar, unzip and "bring the rain"? Perhaps you could hold yourself long enough, but it is better to have a answer to the "What if.." scenario, right?

Diapers, they're good enough for astronauts!

Aw dread :( sorry so few had to ruin it for the many.

Just thought I'd point out that it is also "not cool" to assume everyone causing problems is a child. Sorry but I really dislike when people assume this.

Dread, you come back when you are good and ready and show them your awsome project!

The idea of some users thinking they are "entitled" to progress pictures (or anything for that matter) is baffling.

Loved this from day one and I am eagerly awaiting the finished result.

as am I
Don't listen to the peanut gallery.

Above sentiments seconded, as much as well all want to see more pics of this incredible idea (who doesn't want a 12ft tall giant killy robot costume?) we can't demand pictures as we see fit, heck we get enough demands to get things done by deadlines IRL so don't let it bleed through into your hobby-time as well (the only place with no serious deadlines or agendas!).

I propose, however, if there is anything remotely 40k at this convention you go stand motionless by it and then move everytime someone hangs around you too long, or if someone goes to take a pic with the 'real-life dreadnought statue'.

May I suggest some sort of funnel+tube assembly (kind of like a urinal built into the suit), that can be drained at suitable times, could get a bit stinky though so pack plenty of magic trees lol.

heck maybe you could link the tube to the flamer to deter any douchebags from touching your costume lol!

Can't wait to see it when it's done

DMC, do you have an est completion date, or even a deadline (before GD US?)

Is it bad I find some sort of sadistic humor in watching a blog get canceled because OP can't sunbathe in Alaska every day?

Qualude wrote:Is it bad I find some sort of sadistic humor in watching a blog get canceled because OP can't sunbathe in Alaska every day?

the Alaska conversation was off topic i believe i dont believe he is actually from Alaska
and also for those of you still asking for pics, give the guy a break. hes working his fething butt off tryng to build a wonderful project and we're just constantly hassling him over the subject that he didnt have to post for us.

Agreed. He'll update when he can and feels like it, and we should be GRATEFUL if and when he does.

I hope he never comes back and causes us to languish in this weird half state of a blog that will have more pages than any other blog which actually shows progress.

Bact to OT.... Lets just keep adding stuff to the list of what would be cool. Like is there a way to make smoke come out of the rear stacks?

And grenade launchers from the top?

Those are smoke launchers on the top of the dreadnought, not grenade launchers.

That would be cool. If you read this DreadnoughtMC, a smoke/fog machine attached to the smoke launchers would be awesome.

And until then, I'll just torment you all by saying I know the address of his Other blog on this project, so even if he never comes back here I still get to see WIP of it! Bwuahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Im Backkkkkkkkkk I am restarting this project and have resized the dreadnought (mine was a bit small and a sudden storm downpouring on me killed it) so i am back to restart this project and i Bring something with me too keep you Occupied between my posts. your going to have to bear with me on this its going to be slow going but thanks to a new job i got and the family moving into a bigger house with an actual garage once this gets started it should go quick
the resize image is below as you can see its a different file then the previous it is also now 15ft and will work the same way will be built ontop of an aluminum frame (the same aluminum tubing you find for pool screening) and will be using pre made fiberglass sheet. Now the things to keep you OCCUPIED. the second image shows my scaling of my armor files. the files in white i will be releasing for you all to be able to make if you live in florida you may like this me and a fellow armor maker have decided to either the end of this year or next year see if we can do a CHaos vs blood angels Mock battle like a reenactment will be giving you more details as we come up with them the Blood angels Army with be Death Company and will include My dreadnought Moriar the Chosen. The chaos Army will have a dreadnought as well who is my friend i am building both suits frame but he will be skinning his himself Im hoping releasing these files will shut the na Sayers up and if they have a problem still then show up as chaos and will argue on the #%^%ing Battle Field

I will accept suggestions and ideas but if your going to be a glass half empty dont speak

yey its back I've been waiting for this!

Dont you Know Dreadnoughts never die it just takes time to get put back together

Super cool man, cant wait to see this one. A bigger dred is just awesome. Is there a better way to host your pics? Im not to comfy downloading things strait off a forum

Those are not pictures they are pepakura files for making the armor i can email them to you if you wish youll need pepakura viewer to open them

I've read the thread and all i can say to you DreadnoughtMC is:
Keep up the good work (even if you had to restart)
I'm envious of your work
and finally
best of luck to you and hopefully at the far end we'll see some finished photos

Leafdancer

For those of you who read this blog i ask a favor. I need as much info on death company and Moriar the Chosen that is the version dreadnought this will be so i woul like to know his back story if possible

Tried repainting my little dreadnought Moriar Death company should be how the costume should look at the end and yes it will have the large chain sword

Looking nice, glad to see this one back in action

Going to post a picture of the arm and frame design for this project

I would lol if the chainsword worked!

Yay it's back on the road, just found this and boy is it epic, keeping my eyes peeled

No way in hell are you going to fit in this



Seriously though if you pull this of it will be awsome, I hope it works out for you. I dont get get what your going to do with your legs? From your resized "this is going to be a 15' foot monster" image it looks like your planing on just having them hanging down the middle like some kind of giant double Dreadnought man junk.

FRIKKIN' AWESOME!!!!!

I'm so happy your back. Sad to hear the first dread got caught in the rain. The is such an incredible project.

I haven't had a chance to do any more work on my Dred-Klaw but I've been collecting parts for it. Hopefully I'll get inspired to work on it some more, looking at this thread.

Bangbangboom if you remember dreadnoughts have those heavy hydraulic lines that go from the cod to the shins my legs are going to be hidden in those

Ill see if i can make an up do date spec for you so you see it more clearly

WOOHOOO!!!!!
I just read this thread and I was like awesome!!!!
but then you didn't upate and I was sad
Now Your back and I'm like triple super uber double awesome!!!!!!!

Seems alot of people are happy im back are any of you at all interested in making your own Space Marine armor set at all?

personally I would want scout armour - as I'm not big enough for anything else - yet.
BUT THE DREAD IS AWESOME!!!!!

This project is going to cost me $800 of aluminum tubing to make the frame then an additional $400 for additional parts and hardware

DreadnoughtMC wrote:Seems alot of people are happy im back are any of you at all interested in making your own Space Marine armor set at all?

I've always figured that for an industrious year building up to halloween sometime. But watching someone do it with a Dread makes me feel like a pussy.

DreadnoughtMC wrote:Seems alot of people are happy im back are any of you at all interested in making your own Space Marine armor set at all?

I wish you the best of luck on your ambitious project. I would never make myself a set of Space Marine armor simply because I don't have the build for it. However I am planning on making a suit of either Dire Avenger, or Striking Scorpion armor using a similar method of cardboard/cardstock, fiberglass, and bondo. I'm going for this style simply because I dont have the time or money to sculpt everything like i've done before. I'm leaning toward making a Striking Scorpion because I have dreadlocks left over from my Predator costume.

no it just makes you want to have my matching space marine files so you can do a chaos marine right right nudge nudge

Thats what the P&M blogs are about, pictures. Time to update the computer mate

First time ive been asked to STOP posting picture on this entire thread funny

Nice work, as one 40k costume builder to another, I'm very impressed!

Come over and check out the Obscurus Crusade, it's a 40k costuming site, we'd love to have you post there as well.

http://z6.invisionfree.com/Obscurus_Crusade/index.php?act=idx

Keep up the good work!

It has been stated that there is a fine line between genius and insanity... not sure what side of that line your are standing on, but this has to be the most balls out badassed project I have seen at the hobbyist level.

Keep up the damn fine work, I'm subscribing.

See, I said it wouldn't die! Welcome back Dread

Nice!

I'm soooo happy about this thread being back!!! Totally excited!!! Will you be releasing plans to make this costume? Just imagine making a scaled down version that has a mini fridge in the sarcophagus!

Welcome back!

With such an increase in the costume size, will you need a stronger frame? Also, will this make it harder to physically wear and move the costume?

Can't wait to see this project advance.

No it wont and i can release a scaled down version for you mini fridge the frame will be aluminum and i will not be releasing it until after im finished with if i you understand however if you ask me i do have space marine armor files as well
