Dread looks good, nice build. :thumb:
But the fingers of the claw,
me personally would it be too thin.
I would fear that they break :eek:

hi, great photos, very impressive!

I managed to find the weapons poor great
including the plasma gun! :)
The always looks kind of like a bread box.
Since you can not change much to it, I think.
Is just an ugly weapon ;-)

Those look really quite amazing if I say so myself. Like sanginus, I know a bit about dreadnaughts and 40k in general and those are spot on. From what I've seen as far as paper models go I'm not a fan of painted ones but that's just me, but judging from the dread in the back round, I'm sure you can make it look great.

Seeing how if that was a real world, and in real worlds, people paint things, I think painting, done right, brings the model out. I almost long for the days before printers, when you made models from scratch, and painted them out. So many models are made pre-printed, with people adding shadows for raised effect, they are starting to look like those cheap tin toys that had the everything painted on a stamped out shell.

Let's bring some realism back!! Outstanding job Arkon!! Keep them coming!!

Ahh, how could I have missed this post here.
(perhaps because of Christmas) :twisted:

They both look really good, well built,
there have even been worth investing a little more time. :thumb:

I think we should sometimes present a model painted finish ?

Thanks to "deadpoolclone" for the bump
