The Grimes Family and The Walking Dead Season 3

Firstly Woot Woot Can't wait for tonight Season 3 of The Walking Dead Kicks off and I can't wait. I've been busy watching season one and season two these past few weeks to refresh my memory in anticipation. So I'll be sitting down with a few beers and some popcorn anticipating getting of hold of tonight episode as the new season starts.


Miniatures wise I've been busy painting up Rich and Family obviously based on the cast for The Walking Dead comics. Very nice miniatures again from Studio minatures nicely sculpted and they all had very little flash and mold lines. I love this set of figures and hope the rest of the cast may make an appearance at some point.

They where really nice to paint my only gripe is that Lori's made it difficult (for me anyway) to paint her hair/face/arms as I found it awkward to get the brush in with out undoing bits I'd already done. Carl though small was nicely detailed and a fun miniature to paint. Anyway onto the pictures. I really wasn't sure what colours to use so stuck as close to the Studio Miniatures websites pics as possible.






 

 

ENJOY SEASON 3 I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THIS EVENING WOOT WOOT

    I think the guys, especially carl are great sculpts, but lori is somehow lacking.

    Nice paint jobs, the jeans are highlighted great again!

    Great looking figures...I love the character of that family pack.

    I have to rent the second season, wife and I cut cable long ago (just have internet) and I just rent the sets when the come out. Seems that they don't put the episodes online (where I can watch them on hulu and such).

    From what I heard of the second season (trying to avoid spoilers) is that some people hated it and some liked it but the next season had some interesting promise to it.

      Cheers...

      The Sophia thing did seem to drag yet when re-watching the episodes pretty much back to back it doesn't seem like it now.

      The annoying thing was the Season break at Christmas it seemed such a loooooong break lol.

    Looking really great! As always mate!

    I have an issue with Grimes. The pose of him, I am not really convinced. The only thing that is keeping me from buyin this set.

    No idea what this is about, I don't watch much 'regular TV'... but the painting is great. Whos the little guy, a child or a midget?

      These characters are based on the comic/tv series by AMC 'The Walking Dead' a zombies horror series. This is the Grimes family and the little one is Carl there son with his dads hat on.
