after having a bit of fun constructing my Hondo City Judge, I decided that I needed a more traditional mega city 1 judge.
I went with a Minty style dredd
eagle and shoulder pads from foam

just a bit more tightening up and pulling it all together left to do
Brilliant stuff - welcome to the forum.
Loved your Hondo City costume at Thought Bubble!
Most impressive. Thanks for sharing, really good work.
Superb stuff, can't wait to see it on the streets :)
Great stuff. To echo what Bat King said - loved the Hindo Judge costume at Thought Bubble. BUT more importantly...

Mmmm... chicken water...

That's fantastic! Really interesting to watch the build take shape, and to note your variously scaled Artoos. My costuming activities only extend to the usual stuff for the kids, and that's hard enough, so I can never get over the skill and ingenuity that goes into making these faithful, wearable, copies.
Awesome stuff, but you knew I'd say that... sorry, wrong franchise ;)
search "8L chicken drinker" - great starting shape!

I then drew on the shape I wanted and cut it out

Brilliant stuff! It just goes to show what can be done with hard work and imagination! :o

Seeing
Heatshock knock something like that up in his front room with materials procured from Poundland makes me wonder how the Stallone production managed to spend $100 million and end up with a costume that looked nothing like the original, didn't work as a practical effect, and
still needed a bulky and distracting harness to keep it all in place. Well done,
Shitehawk, but I'm not sure about the flannel trousers.
YAY great to see you posting here KP :D
Tis awesome MC1 kit and what a collection your churning out too of International Judges made by you.

Pictures would be lovely, Hondo City Judges are wicked!
Great work on the MC-1 Judge btw
Gotta say Heatshock, that work is to your credit.
awww cheers guys.
dont get me wrong, I love the 2012 movie, but I will always hanker for the comic versions!!
I would love to do a comic brit cit tbh
as for Hondo - I will post up more WIP shots. the leathers were a job and a half!
The chicken drinker is inspired.....just ordered one on ebay to have a go!
copy my the templates I used on mine mate
http://www.4shared.com/photo/9nQHqlQSce/comic_mc-1_template.html
hold it inside of the chicken drinker (8L) and draw it on! then cut carefully with a dremel or other rotary tool. The edges can be smooth down after. remember to sand down the drinker, so that it takes paint ok!
Cool, that'll make things a bit easier! Gonna have a go at making the respirator move too....if I can!
So much inspiration may try it myself oneday
awesome news guys - thats why I like sharing my work and showing how I do stuff.
hoping more people will have a go and see, that its as much part of the fun!! and at the end, you got cool toys to display too!
