This one took about 3 weeks, but it's finally ready to join my small but growing BA group. No airbrush, all drybrush.
thanks for looking!

WOW freaking sweet! I was also doing my BA's with drybrushing, but nowhere near the effect you've achieved.

Care to share your technique

Nothing special really. Its just time consuming. Layer and layer the tones very lightly. 5 tones in all for the red. Doesn't quite show up as much in the photos though.

Nice, reminds me of old school 'eavy metal paintjobs. Nice bright colours and goblin green rim .

Beautiful stuff. I like what you added to the base it works quite nicely with the model.

That definetely looks awesome!

The craziest part on this model is the lettering, I keep looking at it and it's just mind blowing.

Absolutely beautiful work!

This is stunning! I hope to be able to paint my BAs to that standard one day!

Wow, great dreadnought!

Is that the skibore base added to it?

Outstanding. As a character should be, I paint my reg soldiers to a slightly above tabletop, but this mini just takes the cake. You air are an artist.

That is really, really cool. That's some great brushwork on your Dreadnought! I particularly like the light coming from the visor; reminds me of an Imperial Cylon! My only complaint is the base rim - personally, I dig the old Goblin Green base rim! However, the paint looks a little lumpy and uneven on the front of the rim. An easy fix and something that doesn't detract much from the greatness of your dread!

AWESOME! I wish I could paint my BA this good.....

This is stunning!

Your dry brushing technique is awesome!

thanks gentlemen.

To drybrush something this well takes a great deal of control and patience. You deserve to be proud of this model. The colors really pop and the high-contrast edge highlighting is perfectly executed. If I had one niggling complaint, it would be the lack of company and chapter markings. Just a few well-placed transfers could really put the finishing touches on a fantastic model.

Wow this is beautiful! The model is fantastic! Great job! I still can't believe its all dry brush.

You managed something that is completly beyond me : the battered yet crisp look. Your red is amazing.

yep, they make some great scenery bits!

Wow... it really jumps off the page, as it were.

Amazing job!

Now that is really cool.

This is the best dread I have seen in ages! Great work
