2 zombies and a body bag question *update : 3 zombies*

[zizi666]

Since body bags are plastic (and due to some googling) I tought it would be a good idea to varnish the bags in gloss...
now I'm not so sure anymore.  
what say you all ?

Although they're synthetic they aren't actually shiny.

I'm worried that you might know that...

Two zombies & a body bag - the latest in take away food?

[Emphatz]

For a synthetic look I use Tamiya acrylic paint, it seems thicker and gives off the right texture and look, its also a matt finish.

Every time I see those figs, I think of Gumby.

Nah. That's 2 victims & a body bag. 

@Emphatz : I quit using Tamiya years ago because of the smell. Vallejo can be rather thick, too. Anyways I varnish my figs with gloss first and matt (or semi) afterwards. better protection when gaming. so the shine of paint itself isn't really a problem.

I work in a funerary home, and in Spain, the body bags are made of canvas, usually in black, dark green or dark blue colours (With canvas handles too)

thanks.

the bases are real simple.
they're plasticard, I actually used old membership cards from a store, something similar to credit cards) of which I cut out circles with an olfa circular cutter to fit the base.
then I drew a line pattern (10mm tiles), cut the lines and deepened them with a sharp edged needle file.
khaki wash in the lines, painted the tiles white and then added the grey pattern with a flat brush (dabbing)

Blood's a little too fresh on 'The Tod' (Undead five; WAAAATOSSSSH!!), generally not bad but could do with a bit more shading and a highlight. Perfectly servicable for the table though.

Supervike: just get some vac formed plasticard sheets with pavement, metalplate, etc... and get cutting, easy as.

Hmm, I don't know what "the tod" refers to. I'm guessing it's the one without the body bag. I've done that on purpose since he's enjoying a nice chunk of fresh meat...

The studio miniatures character set is based on characters from the american sit com: Scrubs.

The Todd:



Also for fresh blood try Tamiya Clear Red (TCR as known in the trade) better end results all round.
