Here's the Deff Dredd that I finished about a week ago. I really love this kit, and all told I think it took me about a week between assembly and painting:











And just cause I can



C&C welcome!

I likes! It's very yellow...

Happiest looking Deff Dread ever.

SoG

Ha! It does look like he is smiling. It must have found some good 'umies to kill.

The yellow looks great and I love the green eyes. Good job keep it up.

Best painted Dread I've seen so far. great yellow, battle damage, use of washes, and awsome eyes!!

I always love seeing Yellow painted well.

The green contrast works well too.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I love it.
Deff Dread really does look happy to stomp something.

Loving the yellow, it's so bright and vibrant. The green eyes compliment it real well. Job's a gud 'un, boss.

The paintjob is wonderful, but I think you may have gone a bit overboard on the weathering/damage. I can't really differentiate portions of the model very well, and everything just seems to blend into a giant tiger-striped mass of yellow.

Very cool, I like it a lot. The only thing that isn't floating my boat is the green wiring, I find it distracts a bit from the focal point of the eyes. Would have preferred metal piping, tin or something. Still, overall, very cool!

Amazing! Love that Dredd as much as it loves whatever it's doing in that moment!

Blood is looking a bit pink though...may just be the lighting.

Looks awsome cracked up lauging when i saw the face its great well done

The second the web page loaded for my I couldn't help but exclaim "JESUS!"...in the best possible way. Very, very, very nice job.

Very Nice. You ever thought about using some UHU glue or something to drip some blood off of all those bloody blades?

The only thing I really don't like is the pinky/cherry blood.

Is the camera flash? I hope it because apart this the model is great.

Eventually, specifically close to the eyes try to shade a little but more the green tubing/wiring. Their green is too much similar to the "eyes" one for my taste.
But maybe is again a camera effect.

Just becasue of these 2 critisism an 8/10 for me.

best deff dread I've ever seen, the yellow is just perfect!

Yellow is great and the green eyes and wires is a nice contrast. Great Deff Dread.

That looks awesome! loving the pose, the yellow and those eye lenses are fantastic they really give the model a great focal point!

It looks mighty awesome.

Awesome in every respect! It actually made me jump a little too when the top pic first appeared on my screen!

How'd you get that yellow? Did you use a wash to get that nice depth of colour?

Awesome work!


But that pink...ugg

Really is fantastic work, very jealous. Still, it's a little bit clean for my taste. I think with all the weathering you've done you could do with dirtying up the yellow; without it it looks a bit cartoony.

Either way though dude, amazing job. Congrats, it's quite a centrepiece.

Looks awesome, Is it it's birthday

As a Badmoon painting Warboss myself, I cannot think of a single bad thing to say about this guy.
Perfect execution.
Also, huge props on tackling the yellow (Such a pain).
I've been in the same boat with my 9 Killa Kans.
I'll show em all off when I'm done.
Hope to see you comment on them when I do.

The yellowest dread I've ever seen, excellent.

Wonderful eye lenses!

Love your model one of the most.. Wait i take that back.. It is the MOST awesome Deff Dread Ever ! God dammit More Dakka you always make so awesome models i really am amazed and Jalouse

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Not sure what happened with the blood, the top highlight is P3 Khador red, so basically it's just blood red. I think that somewhere between the original lighting, saving-for-web and optimizing in the gallery it ended up kinda pink looking...

IRL it looks very bloody and not pinkey at all.

I'm also not sure why he came out looking so happy, but it works for me and my play style I didn't convert him at all, that's just a stock faceplate and jaw.

@lionfire what is this UHU you speak of??? Blood drips you say? I am interested!

@MajorTom11 I agree with you on the pipes, but after I did the hull and metal parts I was too nervous about deviating from my current Badmoonz theme. As with all my vehicles the idea was to make it looks like raw green Orky-energy surging through all the piping and optics. I'm also working on a more comic style so I didn't want too many colours on any one model.

Truly remarkable deff dread. Love how it looks like it is smiling, but still looks dead killy.

I'm not sure whether to be terrified, or smile at this.
When I first saw it, I thought it was real, and living. Scary.
but then I saw it smile.
