Zombies, Survivors, Left 4 Dead and more...
« on: November 02, 2010, 03:40:50 PM »
I started a new thread to post my Left 4 Dead zombies and survivors miniatures, but I should post more pictures later on.

Let's start with Left 4 Dead survivors. Most of the miniatures were converted.



From left to right : Hasslefree, Reaper, Hasslefree, Empress miniatures.









And an alternate Bill and Francis with Reaper Miniatures (I am waiting for the new Zoey Reaper Miniature to use them).





Don't tell me it's Che Guevara with Mad Max, I know  ;)



From left to right : Hasslefree, Hasslefree, Foundry, Empress miniatures.









Once again I am waiting for the Ellis Reaper Miniature.

The photos are not really good and I'll try to post better ones later on.

Comments welcome.
I wish I were an octopus to paint more miniatures...Cthulhu must be a great painter

I think you've done a great job on these and they are obviously who they are, so good choice on the miniatures themselves too. My only criticism, on what are otherwise great looking figures, is that the first Bill's beret looks too big to me. Whether this is less apparent on the figure in real life and is an effect of them being enlarged by the posting of the photograph, I can't tell.

Despite that small point.... wow!  :o

Nice PJs, have definitely caught the character of them very well

Only reservation is the oversized beret for Bill - makes him look odd - given how good the others look, i'd redo the head (sorry)...and looks like you might have a hair stuck to Ellis' baseball cap  ;)

Great job.

Very very nice, although I do agree with the others about Bill's beret.

That is sooooo totally AWESOME!!!!!!

Outstanding job, YIU!!!

On Louis - was that Ken with the various badge and patches filed off? And I like that Joe lost his mohawk to become Francis.

I applaud you, sir!

Thanks.

You are right, Bill's beret is oversized. The original miniature w<ears a jungle hat. I removed it and used green stuff to sculpt the beret and I am bad at sculpting.

Yep, there is a hair on Ellis cap...I'll take another photo....with a bald Ellis  ;)

Ken badges and patches were removed and I added a tie with green stuff. BTW Ken is the only Hasslefrre miniature compatible in size with Reaper miniatures.

Very, very cool. I have a few of these minis, for an as-yet-unrealised zombie apocalypse project, and I'll be getting the rest of them as quickly as I can after seeing what you've done with them. Very nice - love the bases too.

Well...

I think the L4D2 crew are very nice indeed, L4D crew are nicely done but again Bill and his rasta beret detract a little.

What's next bud?

Bases are DS inserts and DS resin full bases from the delightful Fenris Games ICYW.

Yes and they are fantastic for urban games such as zombies games.
