Custom "Dredd 3D" "Judge Dredd" Figure - Updated with some pre-order info

Re: UPDATED WIP Custom Dredd 3D Judge Dredd Figure - Finished Moto Boots!

Plan B sounds like a good plan.

I think so too transhi100. The problem with the helmet as that the opening is a lot smaller than the actual space once you clear the opening. So for a human head - the hair allows for the head to squeeze through with no problem. But when you have a hs with sculpted hair - the opening becomes the issue.

And I didn't want to make the opening on the helmet larger because it changes the look of the helmet.

When you guys get the helmet - you'll see how much space is inside and how thin I made the "walls" of the helmet. But it's still not enough. But on the bright side - we have a very nice stand alone helmet instead of a single helmeted hs.

Tin, Plan B is the true DX Tinister way to go.

Not ready to reveal yet so just a tease image for now. This is why it takes me a long time to sculpt heads; I have to do periodic test paints, strip it, and keep going until I'm happy. The scowl is a little too much and the neck needs to be a tad longer (maybe less wide too).

I thought that was a screen grab from the movie!!

Thanks vareika! It's actually really hard to get the size of the jaw right in relation to the helmet. And considering that you only see half of his face - you have to really nail it or else it just doesn't look like Urban's Dredd.

From the little pic I'd say the likeliness is spot on already haha...

Almost done with the first HS. Just waiting for the neck to cure and then I can paint it up.

In the meantime - I refined the visor so that it sits flushed with the inside contour of the helmet. There was a small gap before.

I also thinned out the helmet walls more. Ultra thin now.

I'm not 100% satisfied with the paint job yet. I ran out of flat red and had to use a gloss red so the skin tone is too shiny for my taste. But here's the first image of Dredd with his helmeted hs.

Here's a collection of shots of the new hs. I'll take better pics when I have more time this weekend.

The new head looks really good with the helmet. Not fat like the Dragon one. And it balances out the entire figure better.

Thanks guys! The paint finish is a little more glossy than I prefer so it was hard to photograph. And the shininess conceals all of the fading and five o'clock shadow I applied to him. I'll post pics this weekend once I remedy it.
