Weird War Air-Dropped Plague Zombie....NEW PICS
« on: January 06, 2008, 08:25:30 PM »
Just a couple of pics of a first build up of my air-dropped Plague Zombie.
The idea is that they are dropped behind enemy lines en-masse. The balloon has an altimetre which will release the zombie from its' harness a few feet from the ground. Early experiments using parachutes ended in Zeds getting mashed too badly to be effective.





The finished model will probably have trailing lines ( made from wire) to support it from the base. Either that or I will attach it to the telegraph pole with some transparent tube.

I'll paint it over the next week or so.

Regards

Have you been watching Worst Case Scenario again?  :lol:  (> http://www.gorehoundinc.com/ )

Pity it's on infinite hold at the moment, but it still feeds the mind with lovely idea's.

The execution of your balloon is pure perfection btw, I recognised it instantly, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it all painted up :)

Yup, Worst Case Scenario was my first thought as well.

Outstanding work, I'd love to see this painted. A few close-ups would do for the moment, though  :love:

You are one bottomless well of excentric creativity, PM. What *did* your mother feed you as a child? Macaroni'n brains?

I would have never thought of that in a million years!  Brilliant idea and excellently modelled.  Give us a walkthrough on how you made it!

Oh sure. Everybody's in favor of saving Hitler's brain, but when you put it in the body of a Great White Shark, ooh, suddenly you've gone too far

Pappa are you on any gaming companies payroll yet?  And if not why?  I seriously think that a bunch of you guys should team up and get something going because you guys could knock the shit out of many of these companies.    

Just a suggestion,
Brian
