DreadTober 2020: At the finish line!

 

The Leviathan has reached completion! The base is painted, and other miscellaneous details seen to.

It was amusing to glue down a real piece of stone...base it black, then basically repaint it as it was. 😂

I'm pretty excited with my results on this project.

The feet got some light dry brushing to tie them to the base.  In the final end-of-challenge photos, some weathering powders will add even more realism here.  

The exhaust stacks got some shading and black dry brushing to make them...well...more smoky! The missile rack got completed as well.  I almost forgot about it; it had been stuck to my metal brush holder so I wouldn't lose it (magnets), ironically.

Some final details completed on the Grav arm (mainly the red cabling at the back).  But let's not forget the auto cannon arm...

So there it stands.  A large project (esp. with the extra optional bits), but doable for the month.  I hope it adds inspiration to others who might be thinking about painting this beast up.  It is a solid model, with great details.  Well worth it.

Best wishes for my fellow DreadToberteers; I hope we all complete on time.  More importantly, I hope everyone enjoyed the challenge and the change to "gather" as a community and support one another.

One more final show case post will close out the challenge for me.  Then we're back to painting Primaris marines, as I try to complete the Indomitus marines in Dark Angels colors by the end of 2020.

Stay safe out there.

Cheers and Happy gaming!
