Dan, this project looks incredible.... I grew up worshipping every 2000AD, and Judge dredd comic I got my little digits on in the 80's. THIS is the first replica Helmet that just screams the original to me (Im a raging Bolland fan)

Cheers,:thumbsup

Now see, this is what Judge Dredd SHOULD have looked like. LOVE the bike!!

Why is it that the die hard fans can do a better job much of the time than Hollywood can ever hope to do with all their millions??

Well done, my friend!!

Yes! This is what a Judge looks like (but minus the unshaven gristle). Awesome!

Thanks SO much for the comments. It means alot to me/us to be able to please life long fans who wont compromise their opinions !!!

The helmet is NOT one of Wakes helmet, everything here so far is purely 100% built for this project....;-)

I have you know I didnt shave for three whole days to get a bit 'meaner' for the part. We tried real hard to get an actor to pose for the role but were unable to book anyone for that weekend who lived locally, and was available ( Minty is in his 50's).

I have seen a 10 sec clip of a movie test - you like this shot, wait till you see some of our film tests!

Also, I have finished the sculpts of the shoulder eagle and pad- you'll like them too, I hope!!

In the meantime, here is a little screensaver we shot ....

Looking superb. Looks like you've gone with the movie version Lawgiver - didn't I see a comic version amongst your excellent work at Monster Mash? I wondered if you were tempted to go for a variation of that.

IMO, the helmet looks better than the ones in the film, which ended up looking a bit silly. I can't help wondering if the shield colour needs some adaptation to make it look more real world, either making it more metallic or more neutral?

Re: Judge Minty- Judge Dredd world Fan Film Thread, Sneak Costume peak added !

Hey!
great comment, keep em coming !
I want to weather the helmet, so the badge will look more aged and worn in...
Monster Mash- you were there? You know its on You Tube now- with me interviewed?
Yes, I DO have a MK1 , its not bad, but its a hard blaster to make look 'right' as the MK1 has a round dial in an oval housing, which looks, frankly, wrong ??
looking for permission to upload a video test, watch this space ;-)

An old pic of my scratch 'Movie' Version, and scratch built comic MK1, which was Bolland based,and had a removable top magazine clip.
I have now remade the MK1 more generic to the comic styles, however.

The MK2 (ie the one in Minty) is now adopted in the modern 2000ad Dredd world, and came about partly because of the updated gun design used in the movie.
The movie version isnt really a MK anything, as in the 2000ad world, its not really recognised as such.
Cheers !!!

Sounds perfect!

Monster Mash- you were there? You know its on You Tube now- with me interviewed?

Yes, I was there but I hadn't seen the YouTube film. Cool to watch it now - reminds me what a great day we had. Nice to see The Eel getting special attention, that was a real stand-out short film (don't know if you had the opportunity to watch the films downstairs?).

True. It's always going to be a challenge adapting comic designs to look real. The Lawgiver is such an iconic weapon that I'd love to see it done with the minimum of tweaks. I think you're right, the analogue dial is the toughest part of the design to pull off in lots of ways - and the curved LED display is a good real-world compromise. You need to stay true to the feel and soul of the design, but bring it into reality. Looks like you've approached the Lawmaster in exactly that way.

Your MK1 pics a couple of posts back don't seem to be showing for me at the moment.

pics should now work- yes the eel was brilliant, and the other film of the guy falling from the building- those last shots were just incredible FX.
