It continues with a whimper...

I finally got around to taking a picture of the helicopter that started me down this road. Here it is.

 

I've only gotten as far as taking it apart.

 

And remembered to add a figure to show scale.

 

My plan is to paint it white and add some hospital type markings to it.
Next up, Cars.

Special Infected

Had a few more good studio days and finished A set of L4D inspired miniatures.

With a little Photoshop manipulation

Whatcha think?

They are posted to ebay again. Find them. Bid on them. Amaze your zombie RPG group with them. O.K., maybe just "wow" them...

Green Stuff & Hunters

I have to say, I've been at this for many many years and I've only recently given Green Stuff a shot. WOW. LOVE IT! It's allowing me to do so much more than I ever thought.
I used to use sculpey, which is fine on the metal minis. Not so much on the plastic ones. Green Stuff allows me to do all the things I used to do with Sculpey without having to bake it.
Yeah, I know, to those of you who already know this I sound silly. Just remember back to your first time with it and remember that feeling.

2 hunters, brought to you by Horrorclix, Green Stuff, and the Letter Z.

Some Special Infected

I had a good day in the studio. I finished 4 special infected and one survivor.

2 Boomers, a spitter and a smoker.

and

one more

Building a table

Well, so much for my birthday resolution about posting more. It's not that I wasn't busy, I just forget to post. Then, when I do I think about it, I have no pictures. Anyway, I started work on a 4' x 8' gaming table. I wanted something that could be taken apart and stored when not in use. However, I also wanted something that could become a more permanent fixture down the road.
So, I cut some old tongue and groove paneling pieces (that were left over from a friends basement remodel) into 4' lengths. I then attached enough together to get to a 4' width. I made two so I could set them both on my dining room table to form a 4' x 8' gaming table.

The pieces underneath that hold everything together line up in the center (where the opening for the leaf is) and hang off the ends, so the gaming table lays mostly on my dining room table.

If you do this, I recommend placing an old sheet over the table for protection.

Finally remembered to take a few pics.

This is one half of the board. I decided to make two 4'x 4' sections to make it easier to handle setting up and taking down.

A Blast From The Past

I am cleaning and purging and posting stuff to ebay (well, I will be... soon..., in an effort to clear out some junk). I came across these and thought I'd share.

Ladies and Gentlemen... The smoker...

I've been working on some "Special" infected based on the Left 4 Dead video game.
Eventually I'll post all of them but for now here's the smoker.

I tried drilling holes through the plastic base and adding pins to hold the figure in place. That way I could pull them off the base and lay them down on the table as a casualty. I don't like the effect though, so it's back to the drawing board.
