The time I joined was the 2nd time that this GB was organized. The fun of this GB is that you may received something that you've never done before. For me, I got this Warhammer 40K Dreadnaught as my gift. Now previously I've worked on miniature related figures before, so more or less I would know what to do with this figure. Without further ado, here are some of the photographs taken of the finished painted figure.
Normally, painting miniature figure is done by using acrylic paint because firstly it is water based, and secondly it is much easier to control. However, I only have the High Elf set Vallejo Acrylic Paint, thus the color is not really suitable as I would envision it to be no matter how much I custom mix the color. Therefore, I resorted to use lacquer based color paint instead.
Except for some small details, most part of this figure was painted with Mr Hobby lacquer color, either using airbrush or hand paint. After that, I'll paint some of the small details with Vallejo acrylic color, and finally dry brush and wash it with Tamiya enamel color. What I was trying to achieve in this build was to improve on my weathering, i.e. using pastel and chipping. Yet, I was still far short from that because my weathering sense was still not very good. So, will have to learn to improve on that one at least.
So is it fun to build this figure? Yes it is, but I could foreseen that I'll not build another one in a long time as I said before that I'm not really into this genre.
