Thank you for the support, ideas and encouragement on this project. It is now in a state of almost completeness. Basically I have finished the building but I still have three buildings I need to paint. However, as it is near the deadline I have to post what I have done already, so you can see what I have managed to achieve. I will certainly go on to post more photos when I get round to finish painting the rest of the buildings (in a couple of weeks after my holidays).

Many people said that they thought I was ambitious in my designs, and perhaps I was. Certainly I have felt under pressure over the last couple of weeks, and with real world work and home getting in the way of my creative exploits, I was lucky to get as much done as I have. Perhaps if I hadn't been doing the lead Painters League at the beginning of the challenge I might have made a bit more progress too.

That said, I managed to finish 3 buildings, 10 trees, 20 zombies, 4 zombie spawn points, two boss-level zeds, five zombie survivors and two ski-mobile objectives! And I have built but not painted three other buildings.

So that's not bad.

Anyway.. first off, let me show you my new shiny things...



These are my spawn point markers. There are four of them and they mark where the zeds come on to the board.



The first of my Boss-level baddies- actually an Abomination from Zombiecide. For some reason I ended up with two in my box.


More to follow...

More stuff...



What Finland based zombie game would be complete without a zombie elk? This really is a case when reality trumped my imagination. When Mason asked me if I wanted a zombie elk, I was a bit taken aback, but I jumped at the chance. It's an old Horrorkilx mini, I think, that I rebased and repainted. - I am delighted with the result. Thanks Paul  ;)





OK. So its Finland, right? K-Market, trees, timber houses, zombie elk...what's missing? (don't say vodka)- A sauna of course! This is on of the buildings I still need to finish painting.

 :o

Stunning, mate, all of it.
Simply stunning.

You have taken this [BOX] challenge and set the bar damn high, sir.
That is some serious top quality output, and I am glad that it is not going to end there.
 :-* :-* :-*

Really looking forward to seeing the rest of it.
It sounds like a lot of fun.

As for the elk, mate: You are welcome, and you did a great job, along with everything else.

Thanks Mason... I have seen your work, and I take that as a big complement coming from you.

I seem to be having some problems uploading pictures at the moment, but I have more to post. I will try again in a bit.

You can always rely on Mason to provide an Elk when required. :D

When he said he had a little job for me, I had no idea what I was agreeing to!

There is a full battle report now on my blog.

I have decided to rename my PAPPIS game It Snows In Hell. Extra house-points for anyone who can work out the significance of the title.

It fits in the police station for storage. The internal walls and floor of the police station can be removed and stored in another part of the building.

Honestly, it all fits.
