Finished, the Zombies

Bit of a burst while watching the Walking Dead the other night...

All painted with variations of military colours, mostly Vallejo and Citadel

Looking to collect the expansion sets now and pick up a few metal figures for my Zombie Heroes, so will check out the comic shop when I go to Brisbane next month to meet and listen to my favourite fantasy author Raymond E Feist.

A couple of pictures from Dave

Been a while but here are a couple of pictures of Dave's recent Great War game

A small set-up by the look of it; a game with his kids :)

Infantry on their start-line, ANZACs I think

I've asked Dave to send some more pictures of what he's been up to, and will post them up for you as soon as he does.

Zombie Game: The Heroes

Finally finished the heroes...

The guy on the left needs his face repainted but otherwise is a cool looking figure 

Haven't quite finished this one

Group photo. Have quite enjoyed painting these 28mm figures for a change, and I plan to add a few metals in the future to represent other characters

BEF machinegun units

A couple of finished machinegun platoons to show you

Same great sculpting as the infantry figures

Only missing the cooling can, which I may yet add on future builds

Quite a powerful unit in CD terms, the British have very few infantry support units compared to other nations of the same era

Still the mortar, anti-tank gun and Bofors sets to get. So cool to finally have BEF figures to add to my collection :)

Finished BEF figures

Managed to finish a couple of companies during the week...

 A Company Command platoon

Complete company, based for CD3

B Company Command platoon

Will be even more particular with the Liquid Green Stuff in the gaps with my next batch of figures

All painted with Vallejo paints and Citadel washes

 This has always been my favourite period of interest for gaming and collecting, and it is awesome to finally have some great 1/72 scale figures in plastic

 For gaming, especially with armour, I think a lot tactics get lost as weapon ranges increase with years. Movement, field, and fire position in the early war years keep opposing forces closer. 

Never thought I'd ever get one of these!

This was obtained for me by my mate Paul at http://plasticwarriors.blogspot.com.au/?view=classic

They are an extremely rare kit nowadays and I am really grateful, I have always wanted one of these. Will build this kit to a wargames standard (hopefully better) and use it in games. These were operational by 1916 and served various nations into the 1920s; might even see a game out one day with my small Nationalist Chinese collection. Anyone else made one of these? A real beauty!

Jungle Playset

My jungle animal playset score is looking like a winner

Got a copy of Port Royale 3 at the same time, great video game :)

The palms will get a bit of paintwork and basing

four different kinds of trees, still have the fences and other stuff to base and paint too

Not the greatest stuff really, but it will do for a start and better than nothing. The value is that it gives me a lot of stuff on the cheap and plenty of minor projects to do. I'll still make a trip or two to the Maryborough Warlords once and a while but it's a wee way from where I live now, so not quite so accessible.
