1995 Land Rover 101
From Judge Dredd
This very special Land Rover was designed for the 1995 film 'Judge Dredd' which starred Sylvester Stallone. It is based on the comic strip character, Judge Joe Dredd, from the science fiction comic book 2000 AD. The film is set in the future, in Mega-city One where only the most rugged survive and Dredd is a kind of law enforcement officer. For use in such a tough enviroment, the Land Rover was the natural choice for the basis of the taxi cab vehicle 'City Cab'.
The futuristic and stunning vehicle was conceived by Land Rover's own designers. Hidden underneath the fibre-glass body, the chassis and mechanicals are from a Land Rover 101 inch military vehicle.
This particular vehicle is one of the twenty two built for a variety of uses in the film. It is the only one that has a complete interior and was used for all the inside and close up shots. The remaining vehicles were fitted only with the Judge Dredd exterior body shells.
Judge Dredd already for Halloween. One of the many characters seen at the MCMComicCon held at the London ExCel arena.

Stephen Thompson is a highly regarded Irish artist, who hasn't yet had the opportunity to draw Judge Dredd professionally. I paid him a fiver, so now he has. I'm sure after 2000AD see this, they'll also be beating a path to his door.

Custom Judge Dredd Minifig, all accessories were hand made, Helmet is a custom I made using the base of a Brick Forge Hoplite Helmet and built on from that.
This is of course based on the comic version of Dredd, not that ridiculous movie version staring Sylvester Stallone
It was tough being a kid in 80's Britain. In between having to contend with Thatcher stealing our milk and having to wait years for the next Star Wars film to come out, there was precious little for us to look forwards to*...except the new issue of 2000AD every Thursday.
2000AD was great. Cheap as chips, published on ratty old newsprint paper with perforated edges, only the covers were in colour, the rest was in black and white and it might smudge your fingers. 10p would buy you a lot of comic back then, even if your dad did frown upon the whole thing and say, 'Why are you wasting your money on that tripe?', despite the fact you knew he read it himself, mostly for Strontium Dog, after you went to bed.
You had the cream of British talent; Alan Moore, Pat Mills, Alan Grant, Neil Gaiman, Kevin O'Neil, Brian Bolland, Ron Smith and loads more, delivering kick-ass punk rock comic strips every week. Strontium Dog, Meltdown Man, Harlem Heroes, Dan Dare, ABC Warriors and, of course, the daddy himself, Joe Dredd.
And every year you got a bit more to look forward to, the eponymous Christmas stocking filler, the annual. I always though my American cousins were a bit hard done by with their annuals, you lot just seemed to get an extra few pages, US annuals were just 'big comics' to me. Not that American comics didn't have their exotic allure, they were full colour and in this strange, smaller format. Teen Titans and Firestorm were my faves, DC always seemed easier to find than Marvel for some reason...But I digress.
Once a year Fleetway would produce the annuals. Just 2000AD in the tail end of the 70's but then a Judge Dredd annual too from '81 onwards. They were a nice hefty size, hardbacked with loads of self contained stories and the best strips re-printed. Still only partially coloured though. They rocked.
Long after I stopped buying 2000AD I still got the annuals every year at Christmas, it became an important part of my Christmas tradition.
In '91 they stopped making the annuals hardbacked and produced soft cover 'Yearbooks' instead and after '95 they stopped altogether.
I went back to my mums for the day today and dug out all my old annuals for a good read through...ah memories!
*This is, of course, sarcasm.
There was always the impending threat of nuclear war.
That was sarcasm too.
