Argonor's Sporadic Sci-Fi Thread

[Argonor]

Finally, the FWPC gave me the motivation to get a Street Judge painted:





Couple more pics on my blog.

I have had an almost complete collection of GoMC1 minis since the time when Mongoose decided fold all miniatures-related activities, and I also have the free version ofthe new(er) JDMG, and now I can finally start playing some small scenarios (using old Necromunda gangers and such ilk for perps).

As you may have guessed, it is my first Justice Dept. attempt, and I would very much like comments and suggestions on how to improve the looks (I already mused about it on my blog, but EVERY comment/suggestion/criticism is welcome, as I'm not a Dredd expert).

One thing I am definitely not going to change is the 'four-colour' look of the blue uniform - the comic-book like appearance of a judge is simply too iconic for me to go paint naturalistic 'black leather'.

Nice start - I like the Judge as he is.

Nothing wrong with that painting. It's clean and crisp.

On a purey personal note I dislike the yellow / gold shoulder pad things. I'd do them all yellow. And I'd go for more of a cartoon look and deepen the shadows and give a lighter highlight too, to make them pop a bit more. After all it's a comic.

I do like the very dark blue juniorm. I know it's supposed to be black, but I grew up with the four colour printing where they used blue to show the highlights. So that's what I'd do. Black highlighted up blue.

But as I say it's personal preference and there's nothing wrong with yours.

[Argonor]

Yes, I would have liked the contrasts a bit stronger, too.

I'm in two minds about the shoulder pads, not sure I like the bright yellow; maybe a darker 'golden' yellow would be better - or simply paint both pads gold (I'm not very inclined to painting the eagle in a not-gold colour).

I'll have to experiment a bit - does anyone have a good recipe for 'golden yellow'?

[Argonor]

Changed the name of the thread, as I think I'd better keep all my futuristic stuff in one place 'round here!

Got this guy painted because of the FWPC, and I have the rest of the team in the works, too!

Nice red on that and the Judge turned out great 

cheers

Thanks - I did have to experiment a bit - as always - to get the red colour I wanted. This time I used Foundry British Redcoat with Devlan Mud wash.

Another Jack done:

Footage from the Buccaneers' last training session was used to provide some stills for my blog

These look good. No numbers?

Thanks. I'm going to apply transfers to them all in one go when I have them painted up. I'll be looking for some sound advice regading that, as I have actually never used transfers before

Thank you. Still 3 more to go, and I'm really fed up with painting these  - but it would be a shame, not to finish the team, now that I'm more than halfways...
