DreadTober 2019 - Week 2 Progress

With another week of DreadTober behind us, here's where I was able get with the my Dreadnought project.  This week was about torso highlights and getting started on the arms. On the body, I got busy adding the edge highlights to the black armor using Vallejo Game Color Wolf Grey and a liner brush.

In addition, the red details were highlighted using GW WildRider Red. I very much like how this came out on the lion shield. The metal trim and other bits were highlighted with Vallejo Air Steel.

Lots of practice painting the edge highlights on black armor now has made this process much easier over time.

Still not sure what I'm going to do with the right shoulder guard.  I guess it'll be left as it is.  Not a good area for icons with the overlapping plates. Maybe something on the upper arm plate.

I like how this beast is coming along!  Here's a close up of the main body.

With the main body in good shape it was time to make progress on the arms.

The plasma cannon got some work, mostly base colors and some shading.  Lots of work to go, but progress...

Metal bits on the chainfist got painted in with Vallejo Oily Steel and shaded with GW Nuln Oil.

Since the fists got assembled this week, I was able to loop them in with the metal work while working on the chain fist and plasma cannon. Then I got to work on the black highlights. So broad progress across the four contemptor arm options was made this week.  But still plenty of work to do. Here's the latest shots of the arms.

 

A weekend spent mostly in bed with a mild cold put paid to week two hobby progress.  But I'm in great shape now, so on to week three!  I don't see any issues with completing the challenge given where the model is today.

Loving the progress made by the other DreadTober challengers out there.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!
