Dark World Creations' Judge Death

With the imminent release of Judge Mortis, the time has come to get the Chief [Dark] Justice on the bench. . . the workbench that is.

Judge Death, the seventh release in Dark World Creations' 70mm 2000AD line, was 3-D sculpted by David Richardson. As with Dredd, the figure actually measures ~77mm in ht., and the kit is comprised of 7 exquisitely cast pieces + the logo-ed base. It is arguably a perfect casting: I have found but two minor air bubbles, and these were where one might expect to find them. Nonetheless, I will bake the castings prior to priming to avoid any potential 'surprises' down the road. And I will run a thin "wash" of glazing putty dissolved in MEK over the entire figure, so that the more stubborn--or elusive!--'secrets' are readily revealed.

Death will be mounted on another extensively reworked Kabuki Models’ base, this time their Eagle Steps scenic plinth. I'm about 60% into the remodelling and this could be wrapped-up in fairly short order.

Stay tuned!
