As, I think, most of you are aware I have been chipping away at a project called “The Judicators”. See here.

It really has had my imagination running wild with ideas and taken on a life of its own. Originally it was just going to be a Judge, a Jury and an executioner but now it is so much more. Recently I painted up The Prosecutors and today I have painted The Judge. I was a bit nervous about this one mostly due to his Judges Wig. You see I was very uncertain on how to make the wig. I researched a few ideas and considered buying a Vampire Countess just for her head. Well her hair really. Then I thought I’d take the plunge and see what my brain and me could come up with.
I ended up using tiny off-cuts of electrical wire from an old DVD player for the wigs rolls on the left and right of the Judges face. For the bulk of the wig I used flock. The same stuff we use for basing.
For painting I went with white and dry brushed a little grey.
I like the result and I like the model. I hope you lot do too.
I’m particularly fond of the Judges scar above his left eye.
I am a little disappointed with his mangled looking right hand holding the sceptre.
Oh yes, I also gave him a gavel. It’s dangling from his belt on his front.
Cracking job mate – that wig worked out beautifully! I never would’ve thought to use flock!

Thank you. I needed something with texture so it just fell into place. The rolls were so fiddly because they’re so small but turned out well.

Great figure. Perfect choice of head, and how you did the wig was a brilliant idea.

Thanks Pal. The photos aren’t great. I might have another attempt at them.
