Dredd: Texas City Judge

Wife and I are Dredd fans living in Austin Texas. We decided to due a small twist on the 2012 film by making Texas City judges. For those who remember in 2000 AD there is, of course, many Mega Cities of which one is Texas City.

So to do the look we first found some decent white hats. I cut out a simple black circle of felt, glued it on then added a repro Texas Ranger badge. I filled in the "RANGER" portion, repainted it silver then added in "CITY" over it. We wanted glasses that paid homage to the Dredd helmet. After some searching we settled on what you see: a futuristic looking black and red frame with deep smoke lens.

The badges were custom made. We wanted them based off the 2012 badges but again putting in a star as you see in the comic. In this case when I painted the badge gold/bronze the Texas City kind of faded into the badge. So I decided to make it pop by painting it sliver then shading it. We think the two tone makes the badge "pop" and it definitely stands out from the normal badges.

Other then these changes everything else is the typical Dredd 2012 gear.

Below are pics of the comic so you get an idea of a Texas City judge, some close ups of the gear, and then my wife at Pax South this January (just before she rocketed across the hall to put the Suicide Squad members against the wall and sent to the iso-cubes):
