Title: Zombie Dogs
Post by: uti long smile on June 28, 2008, 10:15:51 AM
Anyone know of any good zombie dog scuplts? Seen a few, but nothing that's really grabbed my imagination. I had the Resident Evil doberman's in mind.

Don't know if the quality is there...but for quantity check out the Bag O' Dogs from Twilight Creations for use with the Zombies! game.

They look quite ok, though they're all the same and because of the difference in scale they can only pass as small-medium sized dogs, would be good filler though if you want lots of zombie dogs (of the pet type) :)

Horrorclix has a figure called Frothweiler in it's The Lab set. Doberman with some exposed muscles. Though you'll need to trim some spikes from it's back, only one pose as well.

I imagine I'll be doing some zombie dogs for my line sooner or later as well.

I think the zombie wolves would be great as dogs of the undead, although a little on the large side they look superb. http://www.gamezoneminiatures.de/index.php/cat/c68_07-Vampire.html/XTCsid/59dc46f748c40dc05e0845e364f6e572 (http://www.gamezoneminiatures.de/index.php/cat/c68_07-Vampire.html/XTCsid/59dc46f748c40dc05e0845e364f6e572)

I hear they're very big and pretty much horse sized though.

They might be...Game Zone tend to proxy GW a bit, and Gw's wolves are BIG...

Try DeeZee Direwolves

Hack them about a bit, and you can get a reasonable rottweiler model:

Not so much hacking, and you've got a passable alsatian/german shepherd:

I've started the commission process with Snuurg of Miniature Monsters:

http://www.miniaturemonsters.com/index.htm

I've never worked with him before so we'll see how it goes. Starting off with an leaping to attack pose and walking pose for German Shepherds. Don't know how many poses people would want, but if it goes fast we'll see if we can expand it to three or four for an initial offering. Then zombie poses, then regular doberman, then zombie doberman, and then we'll see if there's enough demand for more poses and such.

Also thinking about doing variants with police/military type "vests". Don't want to derail the thread anymore, so if people have opinions on poses/number of poses in a pack please PM me.

Both types done from the same model?

Yup - just lose the tail for the Rottweiler, and take off a bit more of the fur around the neck with a scalpel, and then give it a different paintjob.

More dead dogs....
(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh72/AKULADEEP/P1020761-1.jpg)
Already posted these on frothers, but just in case you don't get over there - they are the dog half of "Time for Walkies" Bob Olley's sculpt - currently OOP.  I think the mini is up for auction so it may reappear in the near future...
