Re: DREDD 3D Lawgiver kit by morganthirteen & joatrash (Briefly open again!!))
Here's what I recommend regarding the paint scheme. I'm a huge fan of Duplicolor paints and primers. They're available in rattlecans from most auto parts stores like Pep Boys and O'Reily's. They make a black primer that is perfect. It's important to remember that I use talcum powder as a mold release, and as a result there's no need to wash the kit parts when they show up. In fact, I've done most of the clean-up already and added a light coat of Duplicolor primer (hot rod gray) to even out the gray finish of the resin (I use the gray instead of the black because it de-emphasizes the weapon look of the piece, which is important because more than a few of them ship overseas).
A light sanding with a 300 grit paper or a piece of gray scoth-brite pad can give a nice machined look once the finished paint is applied, but is not necessary. I use the black primer and then a finish coat of Dulplicolor's Trim Paint (which is also black). This can be then dulled a little bit with a top coat of KRYLON's Matte Finish (also in a rattle can). To me, this gives the pieces just the right amount of sheen, and it also protects the paint from being easily rubbed or scraped off. You can then use any number of techniques to weather the piece, including airbrushing flat black onto the vent areas or some light dry-brushing over the "high-wear" areas of the shell. I recommend leaving the visible Glock areas of the casting since they wouldn't weather quite the same way. The visible ammo casings look like they were aluminum with a machine or gun metal gray used for the slugs.

Guys, you are more than welcome and thanks for the all kind words. My only regret on this project is because the run was more popular than we anticipated I had to ask Joe to handle all the correspondence to allow me as much time as possible to produce the kits, which didn't let me have the opportunity to interact with everyone on a more personal one-on-one basis-which I really enjoy. I'm just very glad that everyone seems to be very happy with the end result and want to thank everyone who put their faith and trust in us.

Here here!
I am going to send out some general payment info now to folks that have PMed, but I might be slow in responding later.

My LG arrived earlier this week. Guys I'm stunned - what an amazing piece of art. It's been worth every single penny and the wait.
Many thanks once again - really top level professional job - well done

Why didn't I see this earlier? I would have jumped on it. Instead I spent my cash on dual monitors.

Hey joatrash,
I have just seen Dredd 3D and have found a love for it.
Are these still available ?
I live in the UK, would there be any chance of this coming in different colours as our laws are a bit crazy on weapons ?
What would shipping to the UK be ?
Regards
