Galen DeMarco and Travis Perkins from the new range of Judge Dredd Miniatures by Mongoose Miniatures.
I
was quite looking forward to getting DeMarco. I like her character.
However I was a little disappointed at first when the model arrived. I had hoped
she would look more like this:
(shorter coat, with trims and shoulder pads, trousers that show her ankles, chunky trainers, hair style, cute face with big eyes).
Here is the original (image from Mongoose). Not much detail on Demarco:

So here is my attempt to make DeMarco look more like the comic version:
I've tried to give the model some of the details based on the
comic above. Things like the trim on the coat and trainers instead of boots. I can't get it to match completely without some heavy
converting. I painted her eyes slightly large (I hate painting eyes! Too fiddly) and gave her freckles. Overall I like the final result. The gun was painted with a District 9 colours in mind, not sure if it works though. I might repaint it or even just replace it with a big ass revolver or something.

I got the Judge Dredd rulebook through today, so I hope to get some more 2000 AD miniatures painted up soon. Then I can try them out in a game.
