Well everyone, I know I don't submit much; mainly because of a a not so great digital camera, but I think these pictures do my new Dreadnought some justice. This bad boy was a gift from three friends, two of which have accounts here on Dakka, and one of them was begging me to post this bad mother-trucker. I don't believe the pics do him justice, but enjoy nonetheless.
The Torso:

The Whole Model:

The Banner:


Also: The mark on the banner where the Ultramarine symbols are, are simply shadows, same for the symbol at the top of the banner, considering the white did not bleed over at all.
And for some strange reason, all my models come out shiny in the pictures I take, though they have never been hit with Matte Varnish/Purity Seal or inks of any kind. Seriously, the pics never do my models justice, and it bugs me....

Looks way cool.

Well done.

Not too bad. Flash photography never does anything much good, nor does fluorescent lighting.

I like it

Always was a fan of FW models. Though can't really see the black 'cracks' in the model - did you basecoat? Maybe add a wash?

Hi Matt

Having seen your excellent Ultras up close, I can certainly tell that these photos aren't doing your work justice. I'm going to suggest you take a look at this: http://www.micromark.com/PHOTO-STUDIO-IN-A-BOX,9083.html

This is basically what I've been using for my photos over the last month and it's working really well (recommended to me by JHall). Not only would you get better pictures that showcase your cool Ultras, but the Dakka community would get to see more great models from you ; )

Go on, you know you want to!

Cheers
Dave

Yeah, I agree with the poster that you need more black lines... also some light shading on the edges, and some battle markings are a must, especially on dreads...

But otherwise GREAT job...

ps... I'm guessing the camera makes it shinny???

It looks really good dont get me wrong. the work YOU have done is really good. But personally Ive always hated the way GW makes venerable dreds, simply because they look WAY to cluttered. same with Force commanders, I swear the chapter masters would have to trip ALOT with all those parchments and trophies and chains everywhere

$50 well spent I'd say.

I'd love to see it on the field, I'll be waiting for a BatRep!
