Title: Identifying the parts on the Wargames Factory Vixens sprue
Post by: Doug ex-em4 on July 21, 2014, 11:06:59 PM
Does anyone know a a list which identifies each piece on the WF Vixens sprue? Each piece has a code stamped next to it. I realise that a zombie sprue is likely to have all kinds of body parts  :D but there's some I just can't work out. Also, there's 6 crawlers in a box which means 2 per sprue. I reckon I've ID'd one of them but can't pick the other.

A list of the codes linked to descriptions would really help.

I've built a box and most of the parts should be self explanatory in terms of bodies, heads and arms.  The casting of the codes isn't always clear, but there's a letter with each part, so the "M" arms go with the "m" body etc.

The only parts are found difficult to ID were the two in the center of the sprue next to the bases.  The amorphous blob (Part G1) is the other crawler.  It's just a torso with some scraps of a top.  It doesn't look like much but once you give it arms, head and a suitably bloody paint job it comes together.  The round part next to it without a number is a tray that you can give to the waitress.

I found that the codes are nice for the first set to get them to look like the box art, but to get the best use of the set you need to mix and match parts to keep things looking unique.  The only parts I didn't use more than once are the waitress's tray and the lifeguard's rescue can (M-14).

That is interesting - I hadn't cottoned on to the link between the letters - I've probably attached some highly inappropriate bits to other bits.

Thanks

You cannot have done any worse than Sillysix.
I sent him some Vixen parts for one of his projects and look what he came up with.....

Paul - that's brilliant; I wish I could get one that good... :D

Looks like there were some non-Vixen parts available for that one. Best not to think about it too much. :o

The floaty thing had me baffled - a peculiar thing to include....
