They look great.

What you mean sloppy ?
They look like something someone left at an illegal dump site.
Oh wait... they're supposed to look so

This so reminds me that I need to do some furniture in 15mm...

[Scarper]

Thanks so much, guys!

Today's update is a medical themed zombie that I've been working on with spare GS for a while. I'm actually pretty proud of how he turned out - not as gory as the others, but hopefully with more of a story to him.




The rubber gloves will be in a translucent medical blue when they're painted up. If you look close, you may see the source of infection on his forearm!

Just for an idea of how much GS went into this guy:


And a group shot, just for fun!


Hope you like him! Thanks so much again for your comments, I really appreciate the support

[Scarper]

Hahaha, if I am deciphering your hieroglyphics correctly, does that mean you like him? Thanks, Dr.!

[Infojunky]

Oh Look its Dr. Ned!

[commissarmoody]

I dig the zombies

[Scarper]

He's pretty close, actually! Just missing a taped on mustache. Unintentional, but now I can't unsee it 

@commissarmoody - Thanks a lot!

[Scarper]

Another day, another exam. Next one's on Thursday! In the meantime, here's the final zombie, a much quicker job than the rest, though the strapping was pretty fiddly. It looks rough as anything here, but honestly, it's just caught the light weirdly :

Made me laugh how little modification this comms officer head from the GW Catachan Command kit needed to look zomberiffic - it's a really terrible sculpt. The eyes are on different levels! This guy will be pretty soaked in promethium, even if some quick scout has made off with his actual flamer. I like the idea that he's leaving a long trail of fuel behind him, staggering around fighting the weight of the tank and the constriction of the sling, just waiting for someone to light the touchpaper and stand back

And here's the final group shot:


Each of them is carrying something semi valuable - grenades, medical gear, a gas mask, whatever. Anyone who drops one in a game can get a couple of cred reward - the gear's not going to be in great nick, but if you lie about where it came from, it'll still make a cred or two!

That's all the zombies I'm doing for now - should be more than enough to be a distraction in game!

[hubbabubba]

They look great.
Could you tell me who makes the metal heads that you've used in these two photos:

[Scarper]

Thanks Hubbabubba, I'm really glad you like them!

The first head (the guy with the book) is one of Victoria Lamb's Penal Guard line, which you can get here, if you like them. She's a sculptor who works in Australia, and you've probably seen a few of her things before!

The second head is part of the Afro-Caribbean line by Tom Meier, one of my favourite sculptors. I got mine from here. Be warned that these heads are fairly massive though - work on GW infantry, but if you're going for a more realistic 28mm scale they might be pretty large.

Hope that helps 

[supervike]

Isnt' that the head that looks surprisingly similar to the HEAD...as in Head of the United States?

[Scarper]

Aye, it really does! I would like to point out at this stage that zombifying a model with that head was not a political statement 

[hubbabubba]

Thanks for the info
