I believe the ceramite is supposed to be on the outside, and there's adamantium and plasteel on the inside. All the good stuff.. in real life I don't see why it would rust, but they are imaginary materials so why not... the 'rule of cool'.

Well I think the way this dread is painted looks great - more like the paint is going mouldy. I do love some bright orange rust but it always looks a bit odd on space marines

LOL- Ponies and Giant Eagles are the only vehicles in The Hobbit first movie..but in the book, Bilbo rides a barrel raft with the Dwarves inside, but he is wearing the ring and is invisible..so it would just be a model of a barrel raft

Radagast's rabbit sled! Surely it counts as a vehicle?

I think that would be stretching the definition of vehicle. And the definition of terrain. 'Oh that pony counts as hard cover, and that giant eagle is impassible'. A model of a barrel raft would work - it would be more like scenery if it didn't have any visible dwarfs or hobbits on it!
Ok have painted it but for some reason myu pics always get grainy on Dakka :(
They appear better on Warseer (check my Nec plog for better pics)
anyway here it is....
It looks good, I really like the rust colours. I think the wires coming out of the cockpit bit look really like rebar from concrete which I guess they are not meant to be but it is a cool effect anyway.
I think it could use a few small details around the place to give it a bit more character, things like eroded markings/letters or splashes of colour. Maybe some grass or burnt areas, that sort of thing.

Is there a deadline for entry to this? Or is it entries in by 10th March?
I would like to enter, the model this competition has inspired me to have a go at.
"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

That Kopta Krash is full of character! great stuff! I have attempted to do some graffiti. Reminds me of why i stick to drybrushing and washes now!
seriously though it looks ok from about 2 foot away lol
It's an ash waste crawler. Just imagine would would happen if a tank mated with a train and a cathedral, that's the look I'm going for... and I'd like to make it derelict as well. Of course I've still got quite a ways to go, have to install a lot of rivets and tubes, ladders and platforms, and some buttress-like structures, as well as huge chemical tanks on the back (got some dual Pegasus chemical plant kits in the mail the other day).

Ahh GI Joe! The F-14 Skystriker was a damn near invincible toy! It just would not break, no matter how many times it nosedived from the top of the woodpile into the sandy desert garden!
My Cobra BUGG was unfortunately involved in an accident involving gasoline and the driveway

I have to admit though I'm not a true american hero... most of my memories of the toys as a child are associated with strong feelings of inadequacy... I actually remember being wildly jealous of another kid who had that F-14!
It's alright though, I was mostly a Lego guy as a kid. My parents wouldn't let me have Nintendo
Andy - the graffiti is excellent in my opinion, it doesn't look like a contemporary style which is ideal, it could easily be some futuristic style of tagging. If anything I would say you should do more.
Meade - love the Ash Waste crawler. Did you ever play the Ash Waste supplement for Necro? There are rules for the crawler in that. Maybe you should give your vehicle double duty as a bit of scenery on your chaos board and the home of an ash waste gang.
Ruglud - looking good, lots of potential for some nice rusty paint. I would suggest adding plenty of texture to the base board, things like potholes, scrapes, drifts of sand around the barrels etc.
There's still plenty of time to enter this competition by the way everyone.

I'm Necro deprived, due to being a newcomer to mini-gaming in general and the players in my area are very 40k-centered. Been making progress on the crawler, should have pics up soon but It's going to be extremely decayed and half buried, much like the images of rusting shipwreck hulks. It still might turn out to be somebody's home though.
Working with the GI Joe vehicle has been cool though, I think for a gaming related vehicle I would make Mega Chaos Renegade tank for Apoc out of a Hiss tank or something bigger.

Well there is a gang called Ash Waste Journeymen who are basically like truckers or caravan park types and they drive these giant rigs across Necromunda. By far the best one I have seen is in this thread: http://easternfringe.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4927
