Not as good as orctraders' work, but here are the first of my German Zombies for Pulp gaming.  Lead by Obert Ludwig von Trapp (no relation). Many thanks to Steve at Spyglass for the leader, who is a master cast of a yet-to-be released mini, for being the first fool customer to buy a load of zombies all at once!

I think they're going to need another application of Dullcoat, but I'm very happy with them for my pulp gaming needs!

Well done sir. I like the grey-green skin tones you have going, creepier than a straight green to me anyway. How do they scale up up with other WWW II zombies?

Have to disagree, much prefer your zeds over Orctrader's, his look a like their into their interior decorating and flower arranging a little too much!

Thanks chaps, I appreciate your feedback :)

How do they scale up up with other WWW II zombies?

The only other WWII zombies I've got a West Wind's and they are a good match for size.  Although the style is different, I think they're going to mix pretty well (at least, once I've pained some of my West Wind zombies, they might!) :)

@Commander Cyper: Thanks you, sir :D

@postal: I can see what you mean, but as I was painting him, I kept thinking of Herr Flick of the Gestapo, since one of his legs is really straight/stiff under that coat and he feels like he's limping along!
