The Dreadnaught is the backbone of my fleet--it has a lot of firepower, and it can throw that firepower a LONG way. Good anti-aircraft fire, good depth-charges (for use against torpedoes)--it can even ram and sink other vessels.
The model is about 7 inches long, and it took me about two weeks to paint--lots of detail. The turrets are about the diameter of a dime.
I am aiming for a sort of "raw" look to my Dystopian Wars vessels, so I've painted them to look like there is a lot of bare metal and wood. The deck planks were painted in a color called U.S. Tactical Tan, and then I gave them a medium Devlan Mud wash to stain them a little darker, and to fill in the gaps between the planks. The metal hull, paddlewheel guards, turrets, and the bridge are all painted Boltgun Metal. The paddlewheel guards were the last things to be painted, as that was where I would put my fingers as I was painting the ship.
Comments are always welcome. Enjoy the pictures!
