Here's my go at a contemptor dread.. Not sure about using metalic paint,, think should have gone with a nmm ..?
Be great to get some feed back from all on dakka good or bad thanks

It looks sweet man, bit of a mechwarrior pose, but then again it is the definition of a mechanical warrior! I would like to see some higher res pics with better lighting, these are a bit dark and I'm struggling to pick out the details. It looks like you have done a good and thorough job, though.

Thanks man, ye not to sure why the pic quality as gone like this have to check the settings on my cam see if i can improve them . thanks again .

This is probably the best contemptor I've seen. People tend to pose theirs a bit splayed, in my opinion. The pose here, plus the custom shoulders and such, make it stand out.
Good work!

Thanks man , i do like the more dynamic poses myself but means this was my first go at a contemptor Dreadnought i was a little unsure of the poses also with the shoulder pads they do restrict the amount of placeability of the weapons...thanks again for tyour comment.

WOW, simply stunning! I was never a fan of those shoulder guards but you made them look beautiful excellent job!

I only wish my dreadnought were painted to this standard. Nice job.

Thanks mate but im sure you'll get there it's all about practice.

WOW! You have definitely sold me on on the puppetswar arms. very nice work on this.

Now I actually want to get one. Well done!

Many thanks for the great comments glad people are liking the shoulder pads and alternative weapons

fancy looking shoulders. Try putting some script on that pennant the eagle's got.

Thanks for the suggestion but i'm gonna leave that to the person who buys it. cheers

That is some gorgeous work. I think the metallic goes well with the classic look to that contemptor. Though obviously a newer model it reminds me of 90s era GW, so the metallic works quite nicely. I agree some script would be great on the front pennant. Cheers.

I like the paint scheme, and whilst the pose may be considered a bit static I think it suites the model and the concept. I agree that sometimes they're splayed about all over the place

I like the painted square pattern on the left arm a lot. It's subtle but is really well done, and the whole model is certainly really nicely painted.

I agree with the suggestion that you may want higher resolution pictures next time.

Well done!

Wow, that is the best contemptor I have seen. The helmet really makes the model. It adds the symmetry that is missing in so many of these guys.

Nice, a very complete model.
