Looking good Dave, seem to be close representations from your screenies

**dsteingass**

Thanks Monkey! And thanks LDD!

While I had the female zombie sprues out...

This one is dedicated to my ex-boss

These are really cool models..but as LDD mentioned the arms are all skinny, because they are all a bit tall. I think the models are more like 32mm scale. We'll just have to mix tall and short zombies for effect

**lone dirty dog**

Thats one big bitch

keep it in the circus freak

You need a self representation model holding a shotgun pointing at, yes you guessed it the boss look alike

I can see some tall fencing and these uggers pulling at it, screaming blood blood brains flesh

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Zombie Hobbits with Guns!

**bubble**

ARGHHHH ZOMBIES! SAVE ME *runs for the hills*

... but yeah, cool stuff and all that

xxx

**Viktor von Domm**

your zombie trio is really cool looking...and i really like the way you are starting to go wild on the Z´war thing

dedicating a zombie model to your ex boss...lol... paint a white cross on the red briefcase to have a small pun there

**nerdfest09**

I feel like now....just now...... that this thread has blossomed into dave's thread pt2! now we have Hobbits, terrain, FO, Zombies, giant robots, gangsters, and we're only on page 35! :-)

**Viktor von Domm**

we´ve been waiting for that way too long now *shakes fists*

**shasolenzabi**

**dsteingass**

Someday Vik..someday

Thanks everyone
Yes Nerd..it's random..what can I say?

**Viktor von Domm**

i wont let you off the hook mister

got my beady eye set on that job for you

**dsteingass**

Oh, of course not..the hook is in my future..just a ways in the future

**cormadepanda**

Love the zombies keep up the good work.

**Camkierhi**

Excellant. Hate zombies. Hate zombie flix. But as always your models are brilliant.

Where did you get the female zombies from?

(Funny really, got no worries with ghosts, werewolves, vampires, general monsters, aliens,bugs or anything else, just zombies, make my skin crawl for some reason!!!)

**Viktor von Domm**

i think the fear of zombies is what makes them so hugely popular these days... and that it is caused mostly in the stories due to deseases... the real fear behind the Z´s...

QFT!

**dsteingass**

lol, well, I suppose they are supposed to scare you

Thanks though. You're missing a great show either way

The female walkers were some free sprues I got from the Wargames Factory booth at GenCon. Just remember, they are more like 32mm.

**MauS**

Ooooooh zombies....!!!!

Any of you guys in england or thereabouts seen the Wargames Factory survivors yet? Anyone able to send me a box?

**dsteingass**

So, not really a new method per se...but more of an improvement in rivet handling efficiency

1. Prepare a set of pre-cut rod lengths (these are .75mm- very small around and long enough to handle) tape one end, LIGHTLY brush liquid cement across the bunches

2. Cut the rivets!

3. They will come off in these easily transported strips

4. If you brushed the liquid cement on LIGHTLY enough, you can crumble them apart in your fingers, if not, use a knife

5. RIVET!

**Dr H**

Ha ha. Genius idea.

and good job on the recent tv people and related zombies.

**dsteingass**

Thanks Dr. H
You're right..the show is more about human nature than zombies

**lone dirty dog**

That is a bloody brilliant idea dave

saves time all the same size now did you work this out on your own or did you steal and borrow it

Is that a hasslefree model their

reminds me of the Dawn of the Dead for some reason

**dsteingass**

Yeah it's a Hasslefree cop mini
The rivets..my idea, but I bought this mini specifically to be used as a Vault Dweller after seeing it on The Lead Adv forum. The Raider Blastmaster Armor idea I got from this guy who customized an action figure- bigger scale

Not sure why he has 2 Pip-boys
I'm deciding whether or not to include the other strap or not..

**nerdfest09**

His beard! epic and rather like mine used to be!

**lone dirty dog**

Yes you might as well mate

maybe add some hair as well

**Viktor von Domm**

the cement idea is a very neat thing indeed...

what i also like is the structure you created... that is something that could lead to other stuff as well...hmmm....

and... that´s no second pip boy... just a bit of extra armor...

**dsteingass**

Heh..I think it would make my arms heavy

- you see my pip boy is quite streamlined (glued onto his watch)

Wow great dweller, love the armour and pipboy! Gives me ideas.. =)

Thanks TS! I thought a few people would appreciate it

**Viktor von Domm**
