Hi all,

An ongoing Deff dread build that I'm working on, it started life as a lamp bulb fitting...just kept adding to it with plastic card plates, rivets and various GW and 1/35th tank kit bits and pieces...

Still quite a bit to do before the paint goes on, mainly adding another weapon to go with the belly cannon

Thanks for looking

**Slappywag**

Yeah dude, I'm really feeling that. Looks v.good.

One suggestion or thing i noticed. The feet look a little weak, I would make them slightly bulkier. I don't mean in terms of strength, but in looks.

Overall the plasticard work is great, very well executed!

Slappy

**tblock1984**

Holy gak! That thing is big!
Looks vary awesome! Great work on the plasticard!

**MeanGreenStompa**

Looking good, reminds me of the 50s B movie robots.

**swbruni**

Looks good so far....

**kanvass**

Love it man, looks like it could blow up at any moment, VERY orky ! keep it up and lets see it rdy fer krumpin'

**artyboy**

Nice work. It looks kinda busy right now but it'll probably look much better painted. I'd beef up the engine on the back a bit, too.

That's the first thing I thought! I started chanting, "DANGER! DANGER!" Very cool scratchbuild, dude. It's both goofy and killy looking at the same time. I think it would be cool to have a little, pintle-mounted grot blasta on top near the cupola.

Could we get a straight up size comparison next to another figure? That Dread looks pretty big. Nice work, by the way.

**Grimm**

Nice. Really good scratch build.

**Bascilica**

A true ork Dalek if ever there was one

**ukali1066**

Many thanks for the kind words guys !

For size comparison a Nob is the same height as one of the legs

**KingCracker**

It kind of reminds me of Lemingspawns stomaps. Not as a whole, but the mid section really is what makes me think of it. Looking pretty good so far BTW.

**ukali1066**

Cheers for the imput guys....added some bits ...thanks for the suggestions

Just need to clean up the klaw arms, fix them and add wiring

**warpcrafter**

Excellent work. Kinda tall, but that's just an excuse to now build some tall terrain pieces.

**KingCracker**

That is a pretty sweet dred, Cant wait to see some paint on it

**Hialmar**

Excellent work although way too big to be a dread. I would treat it as a mini-stompa of some sort, looks like a scaled down model for a Mek to be trying out his ideas on.

**ARRRGH**

Where did you get the arms/GW bits from if you don't mind me asking? Looks awesome.

**youbedead**

you could run it as a supa-dread. You can find the rules for download at forgeworld.com

**Chi3f**

ahaha that looks sweet!

Who cares if it's tall, It just has to be shootie and lots of Dakka!

**Kaime**

Very nicely made

Its the cutest deff dread I've ever seen.

**Clang**

A bit too tall for my taste, but otherwise really nice. I'd make the feet a bit bigger, both to look better and to avoid it falling over all the time on the games table.

**ukali1066**

cheers guys, going to use it as a mega dread, just downloaded the forgeworld rules. The arms are from the battlewagon kit, had to buy an extra arm from ebay though. I want to try and beef the feet up a bit, tyres maybe ? Also going to add shoulder plates.

**fat patty**

Wonderful Deff Dread dude!

**Clang**

For the feet, I think you just need to extend all the 'toes'.

**Celtic Warrior**

Looking great Ali, I can't wait for this one to stomp out of the paintshop .

**metallifan**

The angry face made me laugh real good

For some reason this Deff Dredd, to me, feels like the Trogdor of Dredds. I love it (Even though it lacks a big beefy arm coming out of the back of it's neck)

I agree with the others that the base of the feet should be larger, as right now it looks a bit unstable, even by Orky standards, but otherwise she's puuurdy

**Defiler**

It's huge, but I love it!

Good job! It toes the line between comedy and serious grimdark.
