Dredd is now mounted on its permanent display pedestal! And as such, the project can be deemed completed.
That being said, the helmet remains to be done. This will be a modular sub-project executed over the next 72 hours. Once the epoxy has cured and set, I will undercoat the helmet. If time--and inclination!--permit, I will then attempt to work the red trim tonight. Once that is done, it's just a matter of finishing the helmet.
This has been an awesome project! In closing, I have heard any number of 'comments' re: the price point of the DWC kits. All I will say is:
- You need to check the current price of like-scaled figures. . . DWC's prices are very competitive. And. . .
- This figure more than lives up to its price point. In fact, it far exceeds "bang-for-the-buck" expectations. . . as long as the goals that you are setting for yourself and the figure will require more than a casual weekend to realize--and you have the chops to execute!
UPDATE 10.02.2014. . . Save for the final glazing of the visor, and any points of detail that might have been overlooked in the preliminary once-over, "JUSTICE" is done! Sidebar note: Given the difficulty of achieving a glass-smooth compound surface of moderate size in a smaller scale, I decided to give Dredd's helmet a slightly textured finish. It provides that added touch that grounds this rendition on "our" side of the reality fenceline.
