More Walkers? Sure, Why Not


To say things have been busy at the farm since everyone returned in April would be a tremendous understatement.  These figures have been done for over two weeks, but I can't even find the time or the energy to write a few simple lines about them. Extremely frustrating. And save for a few boards games Jakob and I played while he was home on spring break, I've yet to even have a proper game with any of the miniatures this year. Even more frustrating.


Anyway, enough of me doing my best Eeyore imitation. I did manage to put together some more Walkers and another horde for TWD. I like my tropical flowers shirt guy leading the pack best :).


I'm really liking the look of the horde bases and definitely will continue to make more.


The "C'mon, let me help you with that" Walker.


And another waitress for the 'ol diner.


I couldn't resist attempting a Walker wearing a Liverpool jersey after the Champions League final debacle, so I made myself (except this version has some hair like my younger days!) wearing my Mo Salah shirt after I took a warm bath with the toaster when he went off injured :)


I did the logo and name/number using the trick with the photo transfer Modge Podge. I mucked up the left side of the back by not wiping the paper off completely so you can kind of see that hard line from the image. It's only the second time I've tried it on a figure so I'm still learning.


And here is a shot of all 32, on the still WIP urban board. I had some Kickstarter items show up mid-week, so hopefully can get a post up about them soon-ish.

Until next time, thanks for looking!
Ivor

  1. They're all looking very good, you've got a very nice greenish skin colour on the zeds and the clothing is excellent, really like the maid.

  3. Excellent additions to your zombie horde Ivor, and the detail on that LFC shirt is amazing!
    The group shot with the urban board in the background is a mouth-watering taster of things to come :-)

    1. Thanks Greg! The Modge Podge trick can become a pretty neat tool to use going forward with more practice :) Someday I'll get that TWD board finished...

  4. They look great Ivor & the walker in the Liverpool jersey is class, you just need another 10 & you'll have the whole team, but mind you I think even a zombie would have done better then the keeper in the CL finial mate :)

    1. LOL! Yeah, now that you say it, I definitely should have done a Karius zombie - maybe with the next batch :)

    1. Thanks a lot! Yeah, the multi-bases are definitely my favorites of what I've done so far. Now I just have to get them into a game.

  6. It has all been said; these look great and I really do like the clear bases (very jealous). Superb paint-jobs on all, you zombie self is in a class of its own!

    1. Very much appreciated! I'm completely sold on the clear bases, absolutely love them. I've got a post coming up with some new thin clear bases and I think they look 100 times better than what I've been doing.
