BIG BAD DREDD DONE

Here's Big Dredd done.
A very difficult model in so much as no detail and the sculpt was un-refined.
I had the truncheon made as was missing from the kit.
The chain was glued in place, yes there are too many links but due to the fragility of the chain, I had broken 2 links trying to open them up, and rather than risk keep breaking them I went with it.
The model was pinned to the base, hopefully it won't break off due to the weight.
This is one I'm slightly worried about transporting.

Batman Die Laughing

Whilst waiting for the paint to dry here's Batman from Batman/Judge Dredd Die Laughing crossover.
As you can see Batman wares the time-belt.
No idea who did this one, stands about 8'' tall cast in a piece.
Still available I think from certain Thai producers via ebay.

Big Dredd Progress 2

Sprayed up the highlights on the leathers and then gave it a blue dust.
All pads painted.
Next up to tone up the pads.
Heads finished too.
Really wanted to add the lightning flash's on Dredd's visor but after I did it it just looked odd so to them out and just graduated the visor.

Prepare To Be Judged progress DONE.

Finished the Prepare To Be Judged kit this morning.
Here it is.

Prepare To Be Judged Progress 3

Body highlighted, all varnished and ABC War Robot head made and atatched. Just got to touch up some places.
I used a special rusting wash on the Robot head, not apparent from the pic but came out well.
The face has been done and masked the the flashing sprayed on and again as Big Dredd, carefully painted round. There was no line on the helmet at all this time so all free hand.
All bases varnished too.
That's it for tonight concentration has done me.
Hopefully I'll finish this kit and get a good way into Big Dredd tomorrow.

Big Dredd progress

Today Big Dredd had his leathers touched up and used as a try-out for highlighting the leathers which has worked well. I'm using opaque white mixed with German grey and building up the layers to give the leathers some form.

The face was finished and then masked off, then the red flashing around the helmet was sprayed on and then carefully painted to shape, bloody hell that was stressful.

Also here's the truncheon I had made for the left arm.

Prepare To Be Judged progress 2

Prepare to be Judged coming along.
Trying to get a variety of different tones of blacks in for the costume as it's basically black.
The flesh tones went all wrong this afternoon, odd.
Having a break then try again.

These are the bases for BIG Dredd, Prepare to be Judged and Hershey. Just so you can see them John.
