I've had a bit of a break from my favorite subject...........Zombies!
I dug out some more WestWind Civilians and gave them a Zombie Make-over!

They were really simple to do and add a bit of variety to my rotting hordes!
Anyone interested can find my other Zeds here:

Great job Pappa Midnight. They do indeed look like the newly risen. What changes did you make to them (other than the paint jobs). It looks like at least one of the heads may have been cut and then bent.
And what cardstock building is that in the background? It's nice! :o
-
Thanks for the comments!
They are VERY simple conversions ( my modelling skills are pretty poor!)
The poses have been changed with some gentle bending to make them look like they are stumbling/shambling rather than walking. The girl on the right has had her head twisted at an extreme angle. I generally gouge out bit of "flesh" with a sharp knife, in-fill with greenstuff and cut into it for injured areas. Although you can't see it very well, the lady in the center has had her face re-worked with a scalpel to give her a more "skeletal" appearance and her foot has been twisted to face the wrong way ( Ouch!)
The rest is paint ( you can never have too much blood!).
The building is from the "Twilight Street" heroic scales set from Microtactix. it's a nice set and goes well with WorldWorks card buildings.

Here's another quick conversion to keep the girls company.
She's by Hasslefree. I replaced the right hand and gave her a suitably gory paint job! :wink:

I like your Zombies keep on the good work

excellent! Nice effect on the dress! I love this miniature...
-
Removing the gun is a stroke of genius! Gives her an eerie 'i want my mommy' look.
How many zombies are in the horde now?
-
Glad you like her! :)
I'm just under 80 painted at the moment, with no doubles of any figures!!!

Hi Grimm, Thanks for the welcome, Yes I am the 'German' friend of Pappa Midnight. Hopefully I will have some bits to show soon, more in the victorian era though. My painting skills don't compare to what I've seen from everyone here sorry to say. Must get PM to give me a few tips.
