WIP Leviathan Dreadnought. Will have various magnetised arm weapons. Much chipping and lots of edge highlights (WAMP brushes kick ass, btw). Think I may have under-quoted.

**jah-joshua**

absolutely beautiful already!!!
that is a lovely blue...

gotta say, i really like this model...
it looks like what the walking washing machine should have been all along...
this is my ideal image of a Dreadnought...

good to hear that the WAMP brushes are quality

...

can't wait to see him finished...

cheers

I could probably have had a bit more contrast on the airbrush work. It's there, and it registers and does its job in exaggerating shape, but it's very subtle, more so now the edges are on as they really catch the eye.

**Dreadclaw69**

Absolutely beautiful work already. That blue is just sublime.

**olim**

Looks great! I think it's nice having the underlying blends kept subtle, there's no risk of boring surfaces because of all the attention in the weathering and freehand

**DarkKnights44**

Fantastic looking model, will look great when you complete it.

Holy smeg! That's art, man!

**Bottle**

Incredible. Thanks for sharing!

**windguns**

Looks good!

**Thairne**

I.. this.. I can't even... fathom how one would... "paint" like that...

**Buttery Commissar**

Absolutely cracking. Great choice of blue as well.

**Talys**

That is superb. The blues are great, and the chipping is very convincing! Grats!

Unless the client wanted that sort of thing, couldn't disagree more. Too often painters assault your eyes with the airbrush "effect" on vehicles, a nice subtle job to accentuate the illusion of light is exactly how it should be used IMO.

**winterdyne**

Oh yeah, I agree with that; and in general 'less is more' is a rule that's worth sticking to. In more directed light however (and not in a well-lit photo environment) the effect is lost a little; could have done with being just a touch stronger in this case; and in a few places I've had to strengthen the effect by hand.
