Dreadnought IMHO, i also am under the young bloods category (14 years old) and im purchasing the same model at Games Day this year (for my 4th company ultra smurfs).
And not to hijack but how hard is it to assemble and all that because ive never made a resin model before (and do you need extra equipment - breathing mask?).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1761259.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1761259.page GMT FW Ultramarine Ven.

my main criticism is that the highlights are very very striking and could use one or two coats of a "middle" color to make it less sudden and more progressive]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1761301.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1761301.page GMT FW Ultramarine Ven.

@Saltoric: Resin models from FW need to be washed really well in warm water (not hot, as this might end up warping or bending the pieces) and dish soap. Also, if you do any filing, or sanding on the resin, you need to wear a mask, and make sure to not inhale any of the dust, as it can be really nasty once in your lungs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1761312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1761312.page GMT Re:FW Ultramarine Ven. Dreadnought Putting this model together was pretty easy. A mask is a good idea to have as was stated before me. Remember to wash the resin in soapy water and use metal glue for assembly. Thanks for the good ideas guys! Now to paint before the Saturday judging.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1761491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1761491.page GMT FW Ultramarine Ven.

Ifurita wrote:Second the motion about being cleaner with your edge highlights. Try using a #2 flat brush and using the side of the brush to apply your highlight color. With the slab sides of the dreadnought, you should get very crisp lines.


Agreed. The highlights look a little messy too. Maybe try adding some water to smooth it down. You might have to use a few coats to cover but in the end looks smoother. Do this with other shades of blue for highlights and the effects can work well.

Since it is youngbloods, keep working on the mini. Look at it and ask yourself "is there anything the judges might score me down on"? Then fix that up. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1762108.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1762108.page GMT FW Ultramarine Ven.

I had seen that on some other Dread and thought "Oh, that's a cool idea, what with the fight at Ultramar and all!"

Oh well.

Still looks very good. Good job!

I see what JDM is saying, though. It looks more like he's posing than in the middle of battle. Not that it's horrendous, but I do see where he got that comment. Maybe if you turned him just a little at the waist, as if searching for new xenos to tear apart, or moved one of his arms a little.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1762186.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1762186.page GMT FW Ultramarine Ven.

But really, overall, it is very, very nice!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1763418.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1763418.page GMT FW Ultramarine Ven. Dreadnought

I'd have to disagree with you a bit there, I think an alternate colour scheme for the Tyranid parts could be more striking, help it to stand out from the blue of the rest of the model. Dreadnought looks great though, either way, and maybe the matching colour of the Warrior head doesn't distract from the overall model too much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1763425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1763425.page GMT FW Ultramarine Ven.

This is a really good paint job. Only thing I can recommend is making the white prayer liturgies on the armour (shoulders and arms) a little more refined by using a smaller brush head.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1763428.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306364/1763428.page GMT FW Ultramarine Ven.
