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.

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 …
To make and research a decent representation for the Judges Badge and Belt Buckle … There is a full discussion and examples here on the RPF by our Adam [maker].
