Title: Secrets of the Third Reich Zombies
Post by: iago on January 31, 2008, 02:44:48 PM
So I just finished my 8th and final (for now) WW2 zombie. I intend to use them for a modern (1990s) game, despite the fact that they're in WW2 German uniforms. But the way I see it, close enough!

The zombies themselves are from "Secrets of the Third Reich (http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=126_146)" (by Westwind Productions). The miniatures are cool and were fun to paint, but they aren't the greatest sculpts. A lot of little mistakes. But I'm still quite happy with them!

You can view the whole album here (http://www.skullsecurity.org/ospap2/index.php?action=albums&album_id=653), but I'll post smaller versions of them all inline for convenience.

Nicely done!

I suppose they could be re-enactors on their way to a show, that got caught up in the zombie outbreak.  :)



I'm going to stop clicking on threads that have the word 'zombie' in them. The pictures always make me feel a little ill.

I suppose that is some kind of tribute to the painters here.  :)

Couple of things with the ww zeds:The bodies don't always have holes for the necks so you have to make sure you cut the necks down and drill and pin for a good fit, a few of your guys have a bit of a giraffe thing going on! ;) They look a little 'clean', maybe a wash would darken em down. Finally not a huge fav of coloured base edges, each to his or her own but I prefer em black.

Good dangely eyeball and thanks for sharing matey.

Thanks for the responses, everybody!

@Commander -- I know what you mean with the giraffe thing, but I like zombies to look deformed, so I'm ok with that. And clean is sorta my style, I don't like any other way.

Thanks for the comment on the base edge -- I wasn't really sure what to do with those. I just cut them out of most of the pictures. :)
