Leave a Reply

Taking our Judge Dredd Badge BUDGET [DIY] to the Next Level:
This is a Tutorial for painting our Basic [DIY] Badge range of products.

Straight out of the Mould.
To keep costs down we leave it ‘as-is’ from the Mould, but …

We Trim it before sending it on to you 🙂
There may be small air Bubbles or Imperfections .. all part of the following Fun!

Judge Dredd Badge

Firstly; give it a light sanding, then a coat of UnderCoat…
… and let that UnderCoat harden for a few hours too!
Light sand, inspect, another coat of UnderCoat.
Light sand again.v

Fill any remaining small imperfections with Car Body Filler.
Let it harden for a few hours.
Then Trim with a Sharp Knife or Scalpel Blade and also use some Sand Paper again.

Another UnderCoat, sand very lightly.

Judge Dredd Badge

I’ve used a coat of Hammerite Gold here … it’s what I had to-hand #budgets.

Dry brushed with Dwarf Bronze from Games Workshop (or anything similar, mix your own?).

Wait for it to almost dry, rub off with a paper towel.

Do the Dwarf Bronze dry coat it again, rub off in the other direction.
Let it all dry hard.

A wet wash here of Matte Black Acrylic.

Wait for it to almost dry, rub off with a paper towel

Again:
Wait for it to almost dry, rub off with a paper towel
Repeat, until happy.

Let it all dry.

Rub with a clean Rag… it’s quite durable now.

And here we have BEFORE and AFTER side by side.

In the Sunlight 🙂

Now go put it on your Car, Bike, Kit Box, Lunch Box …
