So as not to clutter up my other threads with zombie related goodness and as I picked up a few of Studio Miniature's new Walking Dead models I thought I'd chuck them up here for y'all folks to oggle.
Early days yet, but I could do with some character models for my zombie games rather than just using my other post-apocalyptic models. So here's where I am with the models that I nabbed.
I really dislike their Rick Grimes model. He looks way too gaunt and his hair is receding too much. So... well I gave him his iconic jacket and puffed up his hair a little. I'm not entirely sure on the pose, as in whether to swap out his right hand for say and axe or something. I'd point out that I'm basing these models off of the Tv Series rather than comics (thus why Rick has two hands).
Aye he's meant to be wearing a tshirt rather than a regular shirt, but I wasn't going to spend all day chipping away at the pewter. Speaking of spending all day chipping away at pewter...
Aye the Governor model's also by Studio Miniatures, though not from their Z-Clipz Kickstarter. The original's perfectly good, even if the gun's a bit weird looking, but well as I'm going for the show I had to mess about with him a little (and I prefer the Tv character over the comic by a mile).
I swapped out the arms and gave him a new head so that he looks more like the above image a bit. Simple enough, though it took forever to get rid of the arm that was holding his rifle.
There's where I'm at right now with these models (I've not spent very long on them, just as I listened to a podcast last night). There's Carl, Glenn and Maggie there too, plus their zombie versions, though I still haven't completely decided what to do with them. I don't like Glenn's pose much, so he'll probably have a bit of work done too (even if it'll take forever to chip away the pewter). Having Carl and Rick together might not much sense either as I've given Rick his jacket, but they gave Carl the same one, and like hell I'm going to be bother cutting that thing off.
...Saying that, I wonder if I could make my own Carl out of the boy that comes with the Wargames Factory Survivors sprues, possibly when he was a bit old (because younger Carl can go die in a well).
Anyway, there's just another reason why I'm not working on some Fallout terrain piece or other (I have no idea what I said I'd be working on this week in the other thread. I think I've given up with obligating at this point).
