The Zombie workshop mk.II 2024 roundup

[Ockman]

Lovely table, looks ace!

[Dr. Zombie]

I have made some more walls and some road barriers.

Cool photo, love the lighting!

[Dr. Zombie]

I have made a prototype for a tent. I think it turned ok, and it was quite easy, so I think I am going to make a bunch of them.

[Vagabond]

It looks good as does the rest of the board, how did you do the frame under the cloth?

[Dr. Zombie]

The frame is made from lengths of wire I soldered together. Then glued some cloth over it. I am thinking I will make enough to make a small camp. And then I will make some medieval type tents.

[Vagabond]

I had thought to do that but my soldering technique is pretty useless. I hoped you might have an easier way. 

I did some circular medieval pavilions years ago using model aircraft tissue and dope to tighten it up, they are still alive but I can't for the life of me remember how I created the frame inside them.

Thanks anyway.

[Dr. Zombie]

My soldering technique is pretty useless as well. I don’t think I have soldered anything since I was in primary school. But it really isn’t that hard. And everything is covered by cloth so the soldering doesn’t have to be pretty.

[Erik]

Soldering or no soldering. The tent look good as does the new walls and roadblocks. It will be cool when you can make a small tent camp.

Excellent work

In a burst of speed I painted up some african militia types. I got them in the post from Fighting15s yesterday. I still have some more to paint, but I wanted some done for an upcomming game on monday.


They are reinforced by some visious attack dogs.

[Erik]

Very impressive Dr. Z. They look great.

Any words on your fastpainting tecnic?

[Dr. Zombie]

I paint one color at a time on various parts of the models. Usually in batches of 10-12. I use a rather big brush and with the first few colors I don’t worry to much about staying inside the lines. As it will be covered by other colors. Everything is then given a wash of AP strong tone. Then a very dry drybrush with Iraqi sand. Larger areas I highlight properly.

[von Lucky]

Nicely done. You worked off a black for the skin tones or a dark brown?

[Dr. Zombie]

I undercoat in black and then I have airbrushed the models with a dark brown and a lighter brown.

[Dr. Zombie]

I finished up some more militia types.


Next up is some regular army types.
