Aircav, thanks for the buildings link. I've been after some suitably British-looking Victorian card houses for ages

I bet Malamute will love the Victorian posters, too!

Thank you all for the comments!

Cheers for the link, the posters will be very handy!!!

I'll be posting some more Zeds and Hunters soon.

Just a quick pic of another Victorian Style Zombie.
It's a Westwind mini with virtually no modification ( just a leg twist and torn trousers).

Zombie washer-woman and chimney-sweep primed and ready to paint!!

Another Victorian Zed to add to the horde..........

A Bluemoon mini with a slight bit of conversion ( ripped neck)

I've just realised one of the reasons why these zombies are so appealing. The blood effect is nicely restrained, almost to the point of being under-done. It's obvious what it is, but it isn't too graphic or garish. It looks like old, dead blood, rather than the usual "pumping arterial" stuff.

Lovely, if that is the right word

I love the dark blood on these zombies, as if they've been eating for a long time. Grim.

Absolutely spot on, Pappa M has perfected the look. I think of all the painted Zombies I have seen Pappa's are the best.

Thank you for the comments. I try to make the blood look "Old" and don't actually use red, tending to go for GW Dark Flesh which is a nice red/brown colour.

Malamute: Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated!

Hopefully I will get my chimney-sweep finished tonight.

I make my zombie blood similarly, thoughI use watered brown ink (with an extremely small amount of black) and mix in a little of what is called 'Watermelon Red' from a cheap acrylic paint line (Crafter's Acrylic) I use for terrain painting. It has a different consistency to GW's stuff that gives the mix a 'redish' feel but also gives it that dry blood texture because the paint drys a little chalky regardless of how thin or thick the paint is. That gives it the coagulated texture for the dark brownish/redish dry blood on my zombies.

One time when I had a bit of excess of this mix, because I had to stop painting, I tipped the mixing pot right over my painting setup (without forethought I hasten to add) and it actually looked like a bad accident had occurred on my workbench. Should have seen how my mum reacted upon seeing that ghastly mess the next day when I was otherwise alluding her sight in the attempt to scare her (which is too easy as it is). And she's well aware of my frequency for hacking up my index finger while reshaping bits of plastic. I know, I'm terrible.

Can't wait for that chimney-sweep! There should be a Mary Poppins sized collection of those fellows.
