HA HAH AH AH HA excellent mate

The only thing I would suggest is add a little more ripped skin to the torso but brilliant I just cant wait to see this finished with the other walker now.

Now how about building the prison and yard

Vik you really need to watch it mate it can get a little stagnant at times but over all it is an amazing show, it is more about human nature than the dead rising to be honest.

Dam you me on that one, well I am sold mate and the time scale I swear you get quicker each time ]


Dave would you mind if I borrow this idea mate, I want to add this to my APOC project they look just to cool not to be added

What box set is the sword from ? I think I might have to get some for the bits or ebay

not doubting... not doubting you...obviously not... that would be tantamount to heresy...

but i have my doubts about the head...or better the face... the actress is a real stunner...and the head of yours... it is a bit too much cro magnon... and too male looking for me... a thinner, more female looking one would have made my thoughts evaporate

tho i admit the bum is mightier than the sword


and since i have no idea really about the show.... she uses these Z“s as mules... cut off their arms and jaws... now (H-)armless these get dragged along? is there in the story line hapening something with these Z“s still or are thy just mere morbid tools till the end?

Yes, they are mules..and act as camouflage for her, It's the smell..you know

Also the 2 zombies was her boyfriend and his mate (apparently) yes smell camouflage worked well, the arms and teeth/lower jaw was removed so bitting and scratching could not take place …… Dam you Vik just watch the program.

Plus don't forget the mini is only a representation, I like the thing and thought it was great likeness and quickly done

Just use them imagining before they died.

Bit late to mention how they seem to have lower jaws still, but I really like this and can't wait to see more anyway.

I'm hoping there might be a diorama based on that scene at the start of the series with the tank. But, that might be a bit crazy.

Heh..Michonne didn't cut the entire jaw out, she just cut out enough of the jaw that they couldn't eat.

And you can see how the prosthetic needed to fit over the actor's jaw too

Where there is Michonne, there will be Andrea




Here she looks badass with a sawed-off shotgun, but she is best with a pistol and knife (and the mini's pose doesn't lend to a shotgun IMHO)
A simple right hand/weapon swap on a Reaper Chronoscope Zombie Hunter mini, the pistol is stock

I just don't have very many miniatures/bits of men wearing plain clothing, so Not much in stock for Rick, Merle, Daryl, Carl, Hershel (but hershel would be a fun conversion!) etc. No baseball cap for Glen, I have several female miniatures, mostly wearing Wild West attire though, so not really suitable.

I have a Hasslefree Sadie B that will work as a Maggie, but comes with a shotgun, and Maggie is more of a rifle chick, so that'll take some conversion work as well.


Maggie Carries a bigass knife, so finally the Catachan Fang will be in scale for something
As much as I'd love to convert all the cast of the show, this little project will go on the back-burner until such time as I can throw resources at it again.
i.e. I'll finish it later.
But it was fun so far.

well i am impressed at the replicas of the show. I never watched it because i have a abnormally high phobic response to zombies. I not squishy around blood, or dismemberment or anything of the real deal, but something about the cannibalism, and that it is dead just drives me to insane amounts of fear levels. Other factor, zombie games dont scare me; only shows/movies. So i don't get it... In the end of my needless rant, well done really love the models.

Andrea needs to die she is a pain in the ass (ex lawyer ) but the model does fit the bill just stick a couple of zombies chomping on her neck

Maggie hubba hubba the hassle free mini is a fine match like the use of arms but are you going to bulk them out a little they seem a bit thin.

Don't worry Dave you will be buying new models soon enough, you can use this time to slim out the back log

Hazzer it is to cover her scent from other zombies, she keeps them close to her so masks the smell, thats why they have no arms or bottom jaws so they cant attack her.

Apparently (in the comic book) it mentions that they have become subdued over time, thats why they behave in a less erratic way.
