Thanks for the very kind words.

@Bolt1, I do indeed plan to be at Thought Bubble this year with fellow International Liaison Judge from HONDO Cit.

@Steve Green, Agreed most of Carlos art is flipped if memory serves. However the Pin I actually used on the helmet is an Actual Soviet pin. The Hammer n Sickle I sculpted for the badge I did in the flipped style of Carlos.

@Judda Fett, Thanks and hope to have some more Justice prop/costumes coming soon.

I had a Cloak commissioned.

So a quick test fit of Helmet, cloak and Badge methinks.


Lastly have finished Shoulder pads. Foam inner with Red Leather covering.
Just need to attach press studs to them and the Cloak for fastening. Also need add STAR image to one of the pads.

Hi all,

Just figured I would share some work in progress shots of my Comic (Apocalypse War) based Sov Judge costume.

My good friend who you guys may have seen did the HONDO Judge has been assisting with input when I needed it.
We felt we wanted to bring an International flavour to the Judges appearing at events.

So to start with.

I made the basic helmet shape using a Plant cover that was re-enforced with an epoxy-resin. Same way as the Hondo Judge Helmet was made by my friend.



Then with a some work ended up with this. (The visor is a welders visor and also added a Soviet Pin).




So that is the helmet completed.

Next the badge.
Alas it was truly difficult to get a perfect image from the comics, so John and moreso Carlos have been Very kind with their time talking about the Sov Judge and Carlos with sharing some large emailed images to use as ref.



I took the image and went to work sketching a mock up. Then started building one in layers of Plastic card.



I opted to actually have the Name in Russian so went with VIKING and translated that.


Finished badge with removable name plate (plan on doing a few others)



Next to a 2012 DREDD badge

Always believed it was a 2 piece. Due to practicality. Plus gives an option for the Muscle Top/Tank Top with Justice Dept Logo on Left Breast.

Knowing some of the souls involved and great chats with writers & Director/crew on this project.

I think people will be pleasantly surprised with this.

Not in "MINTYS" league as they truly have set the bar. However enough to have fans enjoy the end result.

Been a 2000AD fan from the get go. My first Real intro to the world of comic Scifi (did used to read Starlord from time to time) back then when I mainly had Warlord, Commando & Battle comics as my stable.

  I dabble with prop making and currently working on finishing off two Judge costumes. One is the 2012 DREDD Hall of Justice & the other is an East Meg One Judge.

Ja

Enjoyed the last two and Most certainly would like to make it Three in a row.
