Otherwise known as an eBay virgin very happy with his first ever purchase ...

Now all I have to do is find the leather catsuit and the shoulders pads so I can attempt to convince my girlfriend to become Psi Judge Karyn for an evening ...
(And so, let the abuse from Wils and JEB commence );)
Link: There are still some left!!!
convince your girlfriend, yeah rrrright... you just want to wear that catsuit yourself, don't you? ;)
that is nice.
the dredd badge i got i was slightly dissapointed with, too small IMO,
but that one seems a bit large IMO.
I mean it's as big as Mike's head.
Now concentrate this time, Max. These (pointing to plastic cows on table) are very small; those (pointing out of the window) are far away...
is it made of soap?
No, it appears to be made of some kind of hardened resin. By the looks of things, the original was made in wood and then made into a mould for the resin. Needs a little bit of sanding and a lick of paint - any modellers out there give me any tips? (Dirty Frank, I'm looking in your direction!)
You need a nedle file, black paint, gold paint and a 1/2"paintbrush.
And you'll want to wash it is warn soapy water before you paint it to remove mould lubricant
mould lubricant
Oo er!
Right, so what do I do with that list of ingredients?
Wash it. File away mould lines. Paint it all black. Paint gold except for anywear you want black. If you want it to appear a little dirty, leave black in the cracks.
It is important to wash resin as the lubricant prevents the paint sticking as well as the mould.
Or for really good dirt effect, apply watered down plack over it then wipe off as much as you can with kitchen towel, don't use it to apsorb the ink, just rub it off, the the black ink collect where the badge would rarely be touched.
ahh, I see Mikey's finally cracked
