Paint Table Saturday 20 June

I've been pretty busy since my last post on Wednesday. The photo above (and the ones below) were taken this morning.

Last 2 from the Denizens of Mega City One pack (almost) finished)

The four figures that I thought I might finish today

As you can see, I'm getting quite close to having painted all of the figures (so far*) in my Judge Dredd collection.

* I will inevitably be buying more and I do have some metal figures (the old Foundry range and a couple of metal versions of the Warlord figures that I acquired) to paint at some point. Oh, and I might have ordered a few figures in the last week or so...


A couple of orders that I'd placed have arrived since Wednesday. On Thursday I received this lot from TT combat:

And this morning I received a package from Antenociti's Workshop - I was a bit surprised by that because:
a) it was delivered just before 10am and the postie doesn't normally deliver here until the afternoon. Also I hadn't realised that Saturday deliveries had resumed.
b) it was only dispatched yesterday!

All the goodies...

The cars and taxis

On Thursday I decided to prep some of the MDF kits:

The pile on the right of the photo is a sci-fi cantina kit from TT combat which I had (mostly) removed from the sprue a couple of weeks ago. The other piles are the shipping containers and billboards which had just arrived.

Yesterday I took a little time away from the painting bench to do some spray priming. I forgot to take pics of everything that got primed though. Some of it had been sitting around for months waiting to be done. One lot that did get done were the inner faces of the shipping containers, which I gave a good coat of matt black (Poundland special) as I wouldn't be able to do that after assembling them.

Last night I assembled the shipping containers and the billboards while watching TV. My plan is to spray prime them tomorrow along with a few other things.



Update on the Judge Dredd figures

You saw the caption suggesting that there were four figures which I might finish today? Well, I finished those and also another!

Tomorrow morning I'll do the varnishing (and for a few apply a blacklining wash) and get them based.

That just leaves the special edition Dredd vs Death figure to paint, but I might leave that for a little while and take a couple of days over the painting. In the meantime I will have lots of terrain to prep and paint.

Wednesday Workbench 17 June and Podcast #13

I've had a cracking day at the paint table today and finished another three figures:

Just a teaser until tomorrow...

I just need to do the varnishing and basing, that's a job for tomorrow when I'll also be starting work on these two:

Madaxeman Lockdown Podcast #13

Somewhat incredibly, our crew have now recorded thirteen weekly lockdown podcasts. The latest installment in this series is now available to download:


I should note that they are also now available to listen to on YouTube:

That's all for now folks!

Finished: The League of Fatties for Judge Dredd

I finished these three yesterday, then decided to paint and build the fast food stall as a backdrop for their photos.

The full post with lots of pics is over on the Quarantine Challenge blog.

Finished: Block Gang for Judge Dredd; Podcast; and Saturday Paint Table 13 June

Blimey, that's a long post title!


Block Gang for Judge Dredd

I finished painting these last night and got them varnished and based today. The full post with more pics is on the Quarantine Challenge blog.



Podcast #12

The latest installment of the Madaxeman podcast is up:




Saturday Paint Table

As my mojo seems to have returned, Ill be working on the rest of the Judge Dredd figures. This afternoon I got the final two figures primed:

Next on the table are these three, ermmm, beauties:

With all that bare flesh on the lady, I'm going to have to do a lot of thin layers to build up the tones. For her bikini top I'm considering making it leopard print - what do you reckon?

Update pic - how I left the Fatties last night:

Wednesday Workbench 10 June

My painting mojo failed to wake up with the rest of me this morning, so I haven't made any progress since last night. This is how fair I had got with the next batch of Judge Dredd figures:

Flesh and hair have been highlighted and base coats for (almost) everything else have been done. Hopefully tomorrow will see my mojo return and I'll be able to finish painting these, meaning they'll be completed (varnished and based) by the weekend.

Finished: Citi Def Troopers for Judge Dredd

The Citi Def figures have been varnished and stuck on acrylic bases. here is a full post with more pictures over on the Quarantine Challenge blog.


This afternoon I got all but two* of the remaining figures (that I have) primed:

I'll start painting the next set of figures tomorrow - the block gangs. I suspect that the fatties will be the following batch before I move onto the serious villains.


* Judge Death and the Dredd vs Death special figure.

Paint Table Sunday 07 June

Having finished the Judges, I decided to work on the other group of uniformed figures - a squad of Citi Def troopers. I had planned to do a "Paint Table Saturday" post, but decided instead to just plough through and get all the base coats (and flesh and hair highlights) done on this set of figures.

 I should, hopefully, finish the highlighting, washes and detailing done today. Tomorrow will see me varnishing them and gluing them onto their acrylic bases.
