Title: Apologies in advance, chaps...

...just in case anyone is offended by this. I made sure there was no Nazi iconography on display, but it is still of questionable taste. If it offends, I am happy for a mod to remove it.

Anyway, here is my Zombie Hitler figure. Make of it what you will.

The photos have washed out the green tinge in his skin, so you can't tell he's a zombie until you notice the glowing green eye and bullet hole in his head, but I'm still quite pleased with the result.

And the jacket and hat are the second version, as I stuffed up and painted them the wrong colour originally.

What's the good word, chums?  :?:

JollyBob, no worries, he doesn't look like an iconography rather a caricature, I dont have any problems with it at all. Nice work!

Phew! Thanks guys, I was a bit worried, but I'm glad you like it.

The figure is a BTD one as Prof said, with a Westwind zombie head swapped onto it, and a greenstuff moustache.

I was planning to use him in a Hellboy/Weird War crossover scenario. Projeckt Ragnarok scientists have reanimated Hitler's corpse with dark energies from beyond the void.

Hellboy and the other good guys have to fight through zombie troops and failed experiments to get to the scientist and elite cadre of fanatics and stop them before they can Try to Take Over the World (TM) .

The twist ending is when the goodies finally gun Hitlerzombie down, a great big nasty tentacled Cthulloid beastie manifests and they have to destroy that to save the world.

I doubt I'll ever actually get to play the game, but it's damn good fun just collecting and painting all the miniatures I'd need for it.

He actually only looks about as Zombified as the real Hitler did in the Spring of '45. You could use him as a living Hitler for a 'Downfall' scenario, as well as a zombie version.

"I shamble in my bunker, in ze middle of Berlin..."

Weird indeed. But I agree with the Prof. Too far out to be of concern, methinks.

Nice conversion. I knew the BTD Adolf already, but that head swap went off pretty well - it looks like a single piece.

Thanks for the comments everyone.  :) I suppose Adi was looking a bit worse for wear by '44.
