Thanks for the tip about miliput and greenstuff, been using green stuff on its own until now.

Really nice paint.

When I bought this Brother Meredith figure I knew I'd be painting him up as a marine zombie. That got me thinking about a horde of marine zombies but the cost this mini now goes for on ebay is too much to make a this an option for me. Thought it'd be fun to cast up some myself.  Hence the greenstuff body which I'll cast to make some dollies and then sculpt some variants to the pose. The gun is a converted plastic marine bolter which I'll be using on the figures. This needed to be shortened and the magazine made smaller in order for it to be more like the size of the metal bolters.  I probably make the zombie heads as seperate castings in order to give more variation to the finished figures.



Hopefully these will be ready for some Halloween games of Space Crusade!!

That's a cracking idea and great execution

Impressive.

[Vermis]

Nice!

I use a mix of greenstuff and milliput which its possible to get really smooth. Would recommend it!!

I concur.

Thanks for the comments! Having another look at the bolter it needed to be smaller still so trimmed the top and remodelled it. Reckon its a good match for the older bolters.

That's a proper bit of dedication

I had hoped that I could use parts from the plastic marines straight onto the body but there is quite a noticable size difference. Couldn't even use the beakie heads so I'll have to sculpt one of those too if I need one. I reckon I might do 6 body variants and most will have the bolters so worth a bit of work early on getting the gun right. Plus I'll have a supply of bolters for future convertions!!
Been spurred on a bit by this thread and started the mould for the body dollie this evening.

Looking forward to seeing the results
