Title: Something for the zombies to chase.

Top row. L/R
"Here I was, diggin' this 'ole"..."The sun-bed's stopped working"...."Strike two"....."Look out behind you !"

Bottom row. L/R
"Am I chasing them, or are they chasing me ?"......"Pull !!"...."I don't really want to be here"......"EEEEEEEEK!"......"I'll call you back."

Cheers - Phil.

genius Phil, multitude of uses for those

Glad you like 'em guys ! :)
I quite fancy tweaking them all again, once they've been cast up.....They were rather fun to do. ;)

Really great work!! Especially like the one with the baseball bat!

Just one question, what is the 'i really don't want to be here' guy holding?

Well done Phil, absolutely marvelous!!

Excellent work! I really like the sculpting on those. I was thinking they would make a good rioting mob, therefore, can I suggest will there be cops with riot shields and batons?
Title: Re: Something for the zombies to chase.
Post by: Techno on 15 May 2013, 07:33:04 AM
The possibilities are almost endless Dickie ! :)
Good ideas though.
It's really down to time, and to a greater extent "What the Boss wants." ;D ;D
I'll certainly bear those in mind.....
Cheers - Phil.

Ah, the pleasures of having a really big spanner!

And a hole in the right leg.

I'm guessing he's one of them....  ;)
Title: Re: Something for the zombies to chase.
Post by: fsn on 15 May 2013, 10:35:31 AM
I'm not happy with 2nd in, top row. The left arm looks wrong somehow.
Title: Re: Something for the zombies to chase.
Post by: Techno on 15 May 2013, 10:58:32 AM
Could be angle on the photo....Or where the new green stuff has a microscopic smear over the old green stuff that makes it look odd 'F'.
I'll have a gander.
But I really think you want me to move her arm down so she's not being so modest over her 'plumpies'  :P ;D ;D ;D ;D.

Seriously....For a change ;)....Re-worked masters, where you have the nice bright green of the 'new' parts of a sculpt butting up to the old 'vulcanised' (dark olive green) putty, almost always tend to look scruffy and odd.
It's what the nice shiny new metal looks like is what concerns yours truly. ;)

Cheers - Phil.

Post by: Wulf on 15 May 2013, 05:21:10 PM
Very very nice, although more of them should be running (away) & maybe one throwing a brick (for the rioter look).

Ah i see it now, couldn't make it out with my hazy sight yesterday  :(

Really like these! And the coppers wit batons are a nice idea, also coppers with shotguns and pistols should be fun.

How could you think such a thing?  :d

Actually, I was thinking with her left arm moved, she'd be great as a base for a superhero.

Honest.

Post by: Techno on 15 May 2013, 10:46:45 PM
Yeah...  ;)...;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
We all believe you F. ;).

Seriously......(again)
The original zombie 'hooker'....(The one I converted the 'sun bed citizen' from)....might work very well for that.
I'll ask that nice Mr Leon to send me a couple of master metals down.

I think I can do quite a few nice variations with these guys, without going too mad on time.

Cheers - Phil

Hi Phil,

The obvious one for me is to put a pistol in "Look behind you's" hand.

Cheers,

Meirion

Contrariwise. I like my civvies unarmed and vulnerable. Your typical British riot isn't exactly awash with MAC10s.

At the risk of being tagged with the Totty tarbrush, I'd like to see a few more skirts.  This is an observation - not a criticism. I love these figures and they are definitely on my wants list.
Title: Re: Something for the zombies to chase.
Post by: Techno on 17 May 2013, 09:21:03 AM
I HOPE that I'll gradually go through these once they've been cast and do a number of quick conversions.
It's fitting them in with all the other projects for PD that'll be the 'bug bear'. ;) ;D
And, of course it depends on whether the Man wants me to do them !!
You'll have to ask Leon.....But I believe his 'wish list' of figures he'd like to produce at some stage, is getting to the stage where it would be quicker to read the Encyclopaedia Galactica. ;)

Is the Centurion the new tarleton?
Title: Re: Something for the zombies to chase.
Post by: Techno on 17 May 2013, 10:39:30 AM
A Centurion is fairly high up on my personal list of things to make.
But mine will have a  gladius (?) and scutum.....Which is probably not what you mean. ;)
Cheers - Phil
Title: Re: Something for the zombies to chase.
Post by: fsn on 17 May 2013, 12:35:00 PM
It can have the gladius and the scutum in storage, as long as it has a 105mm gun and the look of a belligerent beetle.   :P

Really really nice survivors. Gook works!! Any policemen (and police cars) in next future?
Title: Re: Something for the zombies to chase.
Post by: i_am_win on 17 May 2013, 11:18:01 PM
Yeah please say there's going to be some cops on the cards too?

I have a load of these micromachine type cop cars that I've been saving just for a 10mm Z-pocolypse...

A van/minibus too would be nice, if a bit UK-centric. &/or a European style water cannon, to complete the riot scenario...
