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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
