As the hard plastic bases are a different kind of plastic, they will deform and melt. However, if you want some radiation addled zombies/skeletons, applying this to the hard plastic ones will produce a suitably melted look.

For a Dredd/Batman crossover set in Gotham City you certainly don't need loads of Judges or their vehicles. I'd say Judges Dredd and Anderson are the only two Judges you'd need. Psi Judge Anderson is a must have, in my opinion.<br /><br />There are currently quite a few sellers on eBay selling the ape gang at very reasonable prices (less than the RRP). As for punks, you can never have too many of them.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-13487260661715211952016-12-07T15:17:28.927+00:002016-12-07T15:17:28.927+00:00The good thing about bringing a bit of JD into my ...The good thing about bringing a bit of JD into my Gotham, via other reality crossover plotlines is.... I don't HAVE to have the whole kit-and-caboodle, thank goodness. I don`t need DJ`s bike, or vehicles, or all the Judges, or all the essential personalities, all of whom (normally) would be vital in a straight Mega C 1 world. By bringing `De Man` into Gotham (perhaps as he chases down an arch nemesis) I basically only need himself and a few perps to add to my main Gotham game.<br /><br />The ones I absolutely MUST try chase down are the gorilla gang and as many punks as I can possibly find.... in an ideal world, these would all be plastic clix ones.Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-85664405821249849992016-12-07T15:07:07.726+00:002016-12-07T15:07:07.726+00:00awwww thanks Bryan.

I have never tried stripping the paint from a Heroclix figure so I couldn't possibly comment on your suggestion other than to say it sounds fine in theory.<br /><br />Ha, ha, yes, painting lots of skeletons certainly did help me paint Judge Mortis so well.

That's thr...Nice job on the Dark Judges, Bryan. That's three different styles of doing Judge Fire I've seen now and i'm not sure which one i prefer. As all Heroclix figures are cast in transparent plastic (or so i've been told) i'm wondering whether if you stripped the paint from the 'flames' on a Heroclix Judge Fire, you could then wash them with ink to give a translucent flame effect...<br />Anyway, stand-out for me is Judge Mortis. He was always my favourite, because the style of his uniform (especially the shoulder pads) indicated that he was undead. And your paint-job is wonderful. All that painting of skellies has paid off!Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-47159907153674779672016-12-06T22:27:59.119+00:002016-12-06T22:27:59.119+00:00Tarot, it is posts like yours that really make me ...Tarot, it is posts like yours that really make me happy.
