Post by: The_Wisecrack on 22 April 2009, 03:25:39 PM: Wargames Factory Zombies

other stolen ideas include the coke cans, from kishumen on the terragenesis forum, one of which has exploded and its post nuclear waste has flown out. and a newspaper from some link ages ago.

Any c&C welcome.

You can paint the whole eyes in light grey-green (without the pupils). I think it would give them a "more dead" look. lol

Post by: Pil on 24 April 2009, 08:07:54 AM: They look fine as a base but the painting is rather crude. I think the drybrush straight over the black undercoat makes them a bit too dark (even the white shirt has black shading). I think it would look better if you basecoated all the parts first and then drybrushed them in a lighter colour. That way the black won't shine through and they will look less grubby, while taking only a little extra time. Also, when glueing printed paper signs take care not to get them too wet, or in the case of written signs write with stuff that doesn't dissolve in water (permanent marker or just regular paint). Hope this helps and thanks for posting.

i hope to paint up at least another base this weekend (i think i have 11 but since its jsut a painting adventure not for gaming i don't plan to rush it)
