The layered look on the CB uniforms sells them, for sure - straps and pads that make them look pimped out and garish (I'm racing ahead though!) Happily, Simpson's version is the one Mongoose Games have adopted as their style for their 28mm range. So it's not just you and me :)Jet Simianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393803864740299439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176950784481540459.post-9209852916076485602014-01-27T18:21:28.268+13:002014-01-27T18:21:28.268+13:00I mostly remember his work on the Rogue Trooper re...I mostly remember his work on the Rogue Trooper reboot (War Machine), but I am sure he did more Dredd. He has a very practical and logical approach to uniforms, giving them layers to make them look extra cool.GuanoLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003894743902155910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176950784481540459.post-9512796432935892882014-01-26T20:45:29.693+13:002014-01-26T20:45:29.693+13:00Jamas - rain?

That chimp house at the zoo will be fair humming now, I should think.<br /><br />Mr G... ah, yes. You can see McCarthy's dabs all over the last reel of Coneheads as well (I think spotted it before I knew what I was looking at in fact), and he was involved with ReBoot too, wasn't he?<br /><br />I wouldn't hold your breath on the Dreddverse developing the other megacities much. Those are stories for other posts, but the South Am (Ciudad Barranquila) judges did return in an interesting Megazine short series by Gordon Rennie. Unfortunately the very fine Will Simpson style judges had been dealt to by Carlos Ezquerra (I loved their look as well - the revision is quite inferior) in a PJ maybe story. Carlos should have been better but wasn't, and his revisions got picked up by the artists (Dave Taylor? I can't remember) in Rennie's 'Regime Change' of which we'll hear something later this week!<br /><br />Did Will S do any other Dredd designs? He did a week or two of Oz, didn't he?

The bad guys had the McCarthy-esque fins on their headpieces. A friend of mine has one of the original robot costumes in his kitchen.<br /><br />I agree with you on the superficial portrayal of each culture's Judges as stereotypes, but from my memory that was rife across entertainment in every nation, including our own, so I don't blame them. One can only hope they have developed them into fully rounded three-dimensional cultures since then.<br /><br />As always, I loved any uniform designed by Will Simpson, which was primarily the South American ones.GuanoLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003894743902155910noreply@blogger.com
