I'm looking forward to seeing what Studio Minis do with their upcoming range of plastic zombies.

I still can't really paint eyes on mine :(<br /><br />I still think those guys aren't too bad. You can chop them all day long :P<br /><br />The idea with the guts is alway good, especially for the fat guy, because his torso is somewhat small compared to others...he looks weird no matter how you build him. But I think you should do that with some other putty, because miliput can't be rolled thin enough without it breaking. At least thats my experience. <br /><br />And think about mixing some black with the red for the blood, I think it might look a bit better :)<br /><br />For the metal only, victory force seems to be the best bet, and check heresy for their 1 pound random zombie deal.Mathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239850240632449202.post-77825887484286557032012-06-20T08:49:21.242+01:002012-06-20T08:49:21.242+01:00That's how I've treated them just done a q...That's how I've treated them just done a quick job on them. the detail is soft even less so after a light undercoat.
