Title: The 20mm Zombie hunting thread!!!
Post by: The_Wisecrack on 15 October 2009, 10:31:50 PM

so here is some stuff i have been working on recently.
some 20mm buildings first...one awaiting painting....the other....awaiting a sign (if anyone can come up with a witty zombie related sign then i will use it  :D)

WELL....the minis came just three days after i ordered them. they came in a very protective and padded envelope and where only 18P POSTAGE!!!!!
they where the cleanest sculpts (HAND ON HEART) i have ever seen in metal, the detail is EMENSE and they have extreme character. i wouldn't be lying in saying i have seen 28's less detailed than this.
they look shoter than normal 1/72's or 20mms as they lack the ussual THICK base tab.
i cannot wait to see how these paint up.

WHY 20MM you ask? ..... because its bloody cheaper!!! :P

Thanks for looking
C&C welcome as ussual.

Thanks for the write-up TW :)  I have been in two minds about getting some of Elheim's zombies, but I think you just helped me make up my mind!

Where are the zombie hunters from, please? :)

hmmmm...

A bit more time and effort on the buildings and they could be really nice, at the moment they appear a little rushed???

Sorry but that's what I see bud.

they where rushed, i'm not going for to much dtail, as it dgoes the blood is as much detail as i care for, i built them in one night (about 2 hours) and painted the one in an hour.

painted some zeds, will try get pics up
