I wanted to change up my aobr Dred, and make it slightly bigger, also make it look like it could walk. Still wip needs some serious cleaning up.










size comparison

and a few more wip termies...


thanks.

Great work I like the dancing terminators

While it does, as you're well aware, need cleaning up, it certainly looks more agile. I much prefer the route you've taken to the Sentinel leg swaps I've seen others do. Looking at the last two pictures, the dread's proportions and pose are quite close to that of the left-hand terminator. Very human - actually, surprisingly enough, I think the dread's pose looks a bit more natural.

Once cleaned up and painted, I think it'll look great. I'll say a preemptive "mission accomplished!"

good job... its great looking, and the pose is nice

im afffraid i dont like the terminators in the last image something just dost feel right abou them, ( sorry i know that not helpful) but the dread thats brilliant. as has been said allready its much better than the normal sentinal legs and still feels very, marine

The dreadnought looks really good. I would recommend using guitar wire maybe, rather than the gS for piping, etc, but when painted up it should look fine.

I don't like the terminators though. You've extended the knee joint so it makes the lower leg look uncomfortaly long, especially when combined with the bandy-legged look and the really thin thighs. I would recommend cutting off the thighs as welll and straigtening out the whole leg and then extend the knee at the thigh.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Back at uni now... so probably no painting till Christmas. I know what you mean with the terminators, but then they are painted they look much better and im not good enough to rebuilt the legs extensively. I think I'm going to trust the vision and see how they come out. Really happy with the dred though.

Haha, joke man




I love the dreadnaught, would like to see it when you get it cleaned up, looks like you need a file

Got some time off from uni! hahahah the gangnam style thing, they dont look like they are dancing in real life though, i think the one on the right looks crap though, ill need to re do that. Really itching to paint that dred.

I love what you're doing with these. I would agree that there are some issues though.

For example, this one has weight and mass.



This one feels like he's either jumping or falling. Feels off balance or too light.
