I havent seen many painted versions of the Mantic plastic zombies/ghouls. I have been mostly out of the loop for about six months so I may have missed other photos, but I thought that I would put up some photos of my first batch anyway.

They are painted to look like they are wearing hospital gowns so that their toga like rags dont look too out of place in a modern setting. I added a couple of Studio Miniatures figures to help to make the overall "patient look" as authentic as possible. I think that it worked quite well, but you guys might feel differently.

The figures are finished to an ok tabletop standard, not for display by any means. I have more in the pipeline which will be finished in the same way, but with different gown colours (white, a "medical" green etc).

Comments and criticisms are all welcomed, of course.

No, these are great - definitely no compatability problems. Painting the rags like torn hospital gowns is an inspired idea, and works perfectly. As for the painting - I wish my tabletop standard was as neat and had as much "pop" as these! Excellent stuff! Love the guy with just legs and hips, and a spine sticking up out of the gory mess of his torso! Brilliant! Oh, and the blue is spot-on for hospital-gowns. Nicely done. The lone pink slipper on the girl is a great touch, by the way!

Nice el cheeto!

I've been playing with mantic torsos and WGF legs, make for nice modern zeds and painted up a ghoul/golgo islands/GW mash up, (in the thread you know where!

).

Nice idea on the gowns, going for the hospital white, green and peach myself.

Cheers for sharing.

Great! like that the gowns make sense in a modern setting!

Those look great!

Those first two pics look very dynamic, like "fast" zombies, and the legs with the spine sticking out... wow!

Now I know how to use my ghouls.

Thanks!!

Thank you. I now have a use for my Mantic ghouls. I was going to part them out.

Splendid! I really like your zombie skin

I've been curios how the mantics fit with Studio miniatures. Its not a perfect match, but near enough for me!

How many did wear that stupid cloth between the legs?

Nicely conceived and well-executed. Kudos! I agree with the general consensus that there are no matching problems.

Brilliant idea. I think I'd attempt some in the greenish livery that is so common among doctors.
