Well I think I'm done with my Dread for now. What do you guys think? Is it any good? Any recommendations?

Looks good. Can we get a backshot with less blur? Only thing I would recommend is some black on the silver to break it up, maybe a bolt or hose here and there to break up the mass of grey. Have you washed it yet?

Yea, I gave the mechanical parts a light black wash, hoping to make them look greasy. I have to agree with you on the hoses.

Looks good so far.
I would add battle damage, rust and a dark brown wash to help bring out the detail..

Nuln Oil.

Everywhere!

Looks great dude.Although as said before, a brown/sepia wash would bring out the detail and tone down the yellow a little.

every wire and pipe a different colour, it takes time but it's so worth it for the orkiness of a colour-coded wiring loom exposed throughout the model.

This! The overall paint job looks good, but looks too clean for Orks and it kind of looks like a toy right now. A sepia wash and other weathering would really improve the look.

Great Start! Just as said before, some washes or whatnot to make it look a little weathered is all you need.

When painting a colored bit on an Ork machine, I dont just paint them that color. Reason being, Orks painted it. They are sloppy, and they dont paint all the bits!

Paint the whole thing metal (the bit, or the model), give the metal washes, drybrushes, and edge highlights as if you were painting regular metal, but dont worry about the detail on the flat bits, just corners and crannies. Then, using a single shade of a basecoat, graffiti on the color you originally wanted to paint the bit. Be regular, but a bit sloppy. then if you want, repaint all or some of the bolts, spikey bits, etc back into metal.

Just an idea.
