Red Dwarf Lister’s Jacket STAR COMISSION

Red Dwarf – Lister’s Jacket STAR [COMMISSION]

SMEG! : Where’s the Point in this one? …
We might be 6 Million years away from Reality, but it happened at IDM now!
https://www.facebook.com/IDMimagineering/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums

This is the making-of a 3D Print Commission from a Client; a styled replica of the Star (15cm wide) on the back of Lister’s Jacket from the Cult TV program Red Dwarf [Series 10, EP.1, Trojan]

The Process to work with IDM on a Commission went like this …

First it started with a Facebook Message on the IDM Facebook Page here:
https://www.facebook.com/IDMimagineering/

This screenshot outlines the conversation, feedback and review with the Client as we develop their commissioned work…

Research … that thing we all hated at School. Now it all makes sense …

We Sketch, Design, Consult and work our way through various 3D Computer Aided design Prototype designs …

We test print (many times) and then often return to 3D CAD and refine, refine, refine … then when it’s good we 3D Print, again.

After 3D Printing there is some cleanup and aesthetic considerations for weight, strength and mechanical fixing, glueing, more testing, testing, testing …

And then it’s MADE !
The project can go on from here to Painting or Mass Production Casting or multiple 3D Prints.

IDM can take your Concept from Start to Finish.

Prototyping of our 2050 Judge Dredd Tactical Helmet.

The Helmet is 3D Printed in PLA with a good thickness and fill density and will be fibreglass lined for additional strength too.

This is the Fan Modification for cooling the interior of the Helmet whilst on Patrol.

The Badge is hollow and the lines let the air flow in/out.

2012 Judge Dredd Badge DIY Budget

Taking our Judge Dredd Badge BUDGET [DIY] to the Next Level:
This is a Tutorial for painting our Basic [DIY] Badge range of products.

Straight out of the Mould.
To keep costs down we leave it ‘as-is’ from the Mould, but …

We Trim it before sending it on to you 🙂
There may be small air Bubbles or Imperfections .. all part of the following Fun!

Firstly; give it a light sanding, then a coat of UnderCoat…
… and let that UnderCoat harden for a few hours too!
Light sand, inspect, another coat of UnderCoat.
Light sand again.v

Fill any remaining small imperfections with Car Body Filler.
Let it harden for a few hours.
Then Trim with a Sharp Knife or Scalpel Blade and also use some Sand Paper again.

Another UnderCoat, sand very lightly.

I’ve used a coat of Hammerite Gold here … it’s what I had to-hand #budgets.

Dry brushed with Dwarf Bronze from Games Workshop (or anything similar, mix your own?).

Wait for it to almost dry, rub off with a paper towel.

Do the Dwarf Bronze dry coat it again, rub off in the other direction.
Let it all dry hard.

A wet wash here of Matte Black Acrylic.

Wait for it to almost dry, rub off with a paper towel

Again:
Wait for it to almost dry, rub off with a paper towel
Repeat, until happy.

Let it all dry.

Rub with a clean Rag… it’s quite durable now.

And here we have BEFORE and AFTER side by side.

In the Sunlight 🙂

Now go put it on your Car, Bike, Kit Box, Lunch Box …
