Very useful reference. Thank you very much for making the pictures.:

Also recently i bought some cars on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-50-O-Gauge-Building-Street-Layout-Painted-Flaring-Model-Car-/171006885264?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item27d0cdfd90

These are also nicely scale for 28mm minis.  if someone interested in comparison shots of these models i can make a pictures of  them.

Thanks guys  :)

And I've also added a page on zombies......

http://sss.miniaturemojo.co.uk/index_zombies.htm

Some back story and a painting guide.  ;)

Quote
Technically, these adversaries are not 'dead' zombies but 'living' infected who are suffering the consquences of a virus spread by cannibalistic behaviour. In the early stages the virus causes adrenaline fuelled rages but as the body's resources are consumed and the metabolic rate falls, the infected become slower with more shambolic, contorted movement. As the virus takes hold soon after the consumption of infected human tissue, the zombies are drawn to humans as their continuing food source. Unfortunately, this violent lust for fresh human meat cannot be countered by rationale thought, as the emotive and logical parts of the brain are destroyed and the sufferer becomes driven by an instinctive urge to feed. Fortunately, some humans have a natural immunity and there is talk of a vaccine.

Between feeds, the zombies lie low, skulking in abandoned buildings, making them dangerous places to search.

A pack of 3 multipart ragers is already available from our store at www.miniatureMOJO.co.uk with an interchangeable pack of 3 multipart shamblers to be added soon. We will be complementing the multipart sets with 'character' rager and shambler miniatures.

I just thought that I would let you know that I have just bought myself a Unimog after reading your review.

That should work well for my Imperial Guard forces of Khanistan later in the year.

Your SSS line will be providing the resistance fighters that will be attempting to put a stop to the evil machinations of the Khan, along with a couple of offerings of my own.

For zombie and/or suppression of the populace type games, my ICE Station will be manned by my ICE Troopers.  Obviously, one's mind turns to resupply for which I've found this.....,

By Siku, a 1/55 diecast of the EC145t2 Eurocopter.

It's a medium lift utility and transport helly, with rear load doors (the models rear doors do open).

Shown for scale alongside an ICE Trooper:





The model will have a bit of work, including a repaint in snow camo.  I'll replace or rebuild the rotors and rotor coupling as they are too toy like. A few joins also need filling but it's a great start for my needs. 

Maybe I should add a gun mount but the side doors don't open and it 'd be a lot of work to cut and remake (mind you, it'd look quite cool!).

While working on the conversion pack for the Snow Trac, I sculpted a female 'shambling' infected.  She's quite slight, about 23mm to the eyes. (NB: Picture was taken with my phone so the perspective on the foreground arm is a tad distorted.)



The next round of mould-making is coming round pretty soon and I guess I'll probably include her.

Looking good, Steve.
Nice proportions and I love the angle of her feet.
