yeah it is always me^^...forever^^

and scarper...those look really agonizingly good... !

@Jackanory - Thanks, man! Really glad you like it - I kind of wonder if anyone reads the fluff bits sometimes

@Alabama - All in good time Thanks for the kind words! And don't worry, I deffo don't need more caffeine - thing I've had about 3 litres of coke zero already today!
Emailed you out those signs this eve too - let me know if they work for you, got 1 or two smaller things if they're not the kind of thing you were after.

@Bruticus - Thank you! And especially for the holepunch idea, will have to try that out.

@Rawson - Of course I kind of like it like this though - a step less anonymity! Kind of weird to actually see what people I've been speaking to for a while look like though, it's all very surreal. Glad you like the stagger - i spent a little while pretending to zombie walk in my room to get it right. Made sure my flatmates were out first!

@Vik - Thanks so much! They were really fun to make, so expect a few more...

these zombies look awsome! what torso did you use on the first one?

well zombies are the regular chips of the minifigs world... once you start you can´t stop, eh?one of these days i think i jump up on that bandwagon too^^

so you havent jumped on yet?








even with a zombie related banner...

What are those zombie banners about, btw? I keep meaning to ask one of you =l_= guys! I'd love to see your take on some zombs, Vik - you can never have too many! The more of a horde, the better the effect

Thanks for the compliment, RW! The first guy has the top half of a flagellant body, sawn off the legs and with some GS rucksack straps added! The B&W makes it kind of hard to tell...

well not really for now... tho one of my earlier works is a monotlith that would have been the centre piece of a terrain idea i have...and i have collected quite a noticable amount of skeleton and other carcass pieces for that... so some zombies would be nice to be added for that... gootta have some upstanding ones too^^

the banners- that was a long zombie survival talk on one of the =][_,= threads, and since i was bored i just made them.. and ahh flagellant body, and btw you didnt alter those legs at all did you? i know i have a few and they are in an odd shape! perfect for zombies

well that was almost a challenge then scarper... man... as if i need another diversion^^

@Vik - So what you're saying is, you have the gear, the knowhow, and have been directly challenged? This can only end one way

@RW - The legs are off the Empire Militia sprue - they'd probably work pretty well as is, but I actually lopped off the right leg just above the giant... boot... thing, and reangled it to give him more of a limp. Glad that it looks like I haven't changed anything though!

Just checked my email. those posters are perfect thanks for sending them so fast. I'd love to see what else ya go.

lol... seems that way scarper^^

and by the way... that lil mentioning of methode acting for better posing the minis...

I... possibly do that when coming up with poses more than i would like to admit. Thank Christ I've got a door lock...

@alabama - Glad you like them, man! The other stuff isn't really posters, just suggestions on sites to get etched signs from and things like that. Just if you're interested!

LOL^^

deff interested link me up my friend

@Alabama - Will do, as soon as I can find it! Deffo by tomorrow.

Final zombie, and probs final model for a little while. I don't like him as much as the others, but he was still fun to make!



Liquid GS is an awesome product, incidentally. A little limited in its uses, but fantastic at what it does if you water it down a touch! As always, would love to know what you reckon, and thanks so much for all the input so far!

Scarper wrote:@Bjorn - Thank you so much again for the kind words, they mean a lot coming from you. Sorry if I caused offence, it was absolutely not intended - I'm a big fan of your blog, and it's great getting a look at your creative process as you develop something! Didn't mean to imply any of your posts are redundant - It was just a silly jibe, I'll knock it off in future

No offence taken, really never mind dude, feel free to jibe as you like I can take it. All I was really saying was, that it really wasn't an update "baiyuan style", because you just showed too much and that the only possible/pointless critique would be redundancy, because most minis had been shown before, which is something I haven't done a lot...yet.
So it's all good, no need to walk eggshells. Would be a terrible thing if the matey jibes on our blogs just dissappeared.

Using the half corpse from the renegades is a stroke of genius. Awesome munchers.

Oh for goodness' sake :( So you've got zombies in YOUR log too now? No fair, man!

The first batch look awesome, I like the lasgun dangling in one hand. Is there any chance you could convert one to look like Bob in Day of the Dead?

The final one... Hm. I don't like the way the right arm is hanging, do you have a shoulder pad you could blu tac to the shoulder to see if it improves the look?


By the way, you mentioned having issues keeping the QA jumpsuit colours interesting. Have you thought abbout orange jumpsuits instead? Or having some of them wearing prison guard uniforms? Maybe that's the variety you might like to stay interested.

P.S. I am finding all the actual faces appearing on Dakka quite terrifying. Some of the faces I DEFINITELY did not picture belonging to their owners!

He is almost Fallout-3 like in his army!

@Baiyuan - As long as you're sure! I didn't think you were really too ticked off, but didn't want to take the risk Thanks again - I've had that FW torso kicking around for ages with no idea what to do with it, and this just seemed to fit!

@Ragsta - I'm just getting ready for August! Besides, I've got a long way to go before I'm approaching the levels of your hoard Thanks a bunch for the kind words though, will have to see what I can do about Bob!
I know what you mean about the faces - it's a lot of fun to see how people really look, but I had a real picture of lots of people in my mind's eye, and it's a little jarring to see how it differs... Anyone in particular shock you?
I understand what you're saying with zombo 3 - The arm angle looks a little - off - and I'm not too sure how to fix it. I tried all kinds of different poses and ended up settling on this one, but it is still flawed. I'll have to dig around for a shoulder pad! Here's how he looks when he's cominatcha:

That one remoinds me of the "Ghost People" from FO:NV/Dead Money"

@Shaso - Sorry mate, you ninjaed me there! I did love the Fallout series, so there are bound to be a few similarities, but I've tried not to stick too closely to that mythos. I never actually played dead money, but looking at the pics on the FO wiki, you're right - they look quite similar! I was really going for more of a Metro / Stalker kind of vibe with this one, something like this:


Thanks for the interest, hope you like what you find

well it is a rather simpler job with this one but i bet your painting will sort it out to be top league material again

Cool deal Scarper

Thanks for the faith, Vik! Would you believe he took longer to do than the other two? He's not quite as complex in terms of parts, but I think with a scrappy paintjob on the hoody and the armour he'll fit in just fine

i am a believer...well i am an atheist basically but i belive in your painting

so scarp are you gonna do some ghouls also or just zombies?

no where is the drawn line between the two of them then?

rules wise i have no clue whats the difference i just saw them on the gw site when looking at the munda stuff for the 89575987th time

I have the old Eye of Terror campaign book, it has rules for "Plague Zombies"
