Work on my Death Watch Venerable Dreadnought has begun. And so has Dreadtober!

| (Under construction). |
I started from ground up on this machine. What I mean is that a built the legs first before moving to the torso. But let me show you the torso first anyway:
 |
| Spot the magnet. |
I had the idea that I would need to magnetize the main weapon arm so I stuck a strong magnet inside the main body of the Dreadnought. I would so discover that this was redundant as not only does this kit come with three complete right arms but they are easily interchangeable. Oops! And, the glue I have used on the magnet was so effective that I have yet to be able to pop it out of it's position. Double-oops!

| Front side of the bare legs. |
I noticed as I was building the legs that it would be easier to paint parts of it as I assembled it. So I went ahead and painted the legs metallic with washes of Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade to create depth and a sense of aging to the metal.

| Legs from the back. |
This is as far as I have managed to get with this kit this week. But so far, so fun. It's a far more versatile kit than I ever would have imagined and I also pleased as the adaptability the design team bestowed upon the model; It's one of the rare few that have this gift!

| Getting closer to coming together... |
So far so fun. I think this year's Dreadtober will be as satisfying as the previous years that I have participated in it.
