Finished: Nazi zombie

[Dropshipbob]

Not much to show right now. I got the idea from someone over on the tank who made a Sucker Punch zombie...even though it looked more like a Jin-Roh Panzer cop. I want mine to look a little more like the SP zombies except for maybe the steam-drive equipment. I've got a copy of the 30th ann. Iron Grenadier helmet coming from Hunter Artworks, shave off a little detail and it should make a good Stahlhelm. I was going to go for a WWI German look, but I'd have to scratch build the Picklehaub. I know everything else isn't accurate, figured the rifle would be close enough. The suspenders are WAY off, I suppose I could make some out of masking tape or some such. They had "Y" suspenders, right?

You know where the body came from, the head is a SDS piece, rifle from one of those Crimson Guard 25th ann. figures.

Looks great so far.

Or you could just paint the front section of the IG helmet a different color than the rest, paint the straps and call it a anti-sniper brow plate.

I'm really liking it so far. A nice use of the peg warming Renegade CC body

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

funny how much cooler and battle ready that figure looks with just straps added

 

[Dropshipbob]

K, thanks for the helmet tips. I might go with a strikeplate-less look as it seems most of the troops didn't have it?

 

[K-Tiger]

It wasn't a very common item, no.

 

[Keenan]

Lookin' good.

 

[xxxx]

a work in progress....so far,so good.

 

[Meddatron]

Looking real good. i got that head and like it (damn eddieism) Check out the movie Dead Snow. could give you some alternate ideas.

 

[K-Tiger]

DØD SNØ, How I chortled at thee.

 

[WildBill]

Wow that movie made a grand total of 41,709 dollars. I'm guessing funding for the sequel will be hard to raise.

 

[NSA]

Wikipedia says it had a Box office of $1,984,662

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, and Twilight made over 192 million Domestic, doesn't mean it's worth a shit.

It made almost 2 million but cost almost 2 million to make. thats why it only earned 41 grand after production costs are removed. I wouldnt watch it again, although the zombies weren't done bad.

Finished!

Die Untoten!

 

[Dropshipbob]

Reichtig!

 

[Dropshipbob]

I guess I shouldn't call this a Nazi, as this is more WWI and the Nazi party had not yet formed.

 

[K-Tiger]

A lot of the Nazi high command saw action in WWI, and the Wehrmacht had it's share of vets.

Hermann Göring was an ace for crying out loud.

 

[Dropshipbob]

I should have known some vets would be present, I'm pretty rusty on my history.

So K, am I close to being accurate on this?

 

[K-Tiger]

It looks the part well enough. The load bearing gear is pretty far off, but unless you're gonna take a set of Dragon gear and scratch build the y-straps what can you do? I dunno how prevalent jackboots were among non-cavalry units.

Hell, I like it.

It kind of makes me want to do a zombie Sturmmann.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Great, I'm glad you like it!

Yeah, I could have gone further but that kinda takes away from it. I mean, part of the challenge is to see if you can make a custom with what you have, right? I could have shaved off some of the pouches but you can only do so much of that without making it look like an angry badger got hold of it.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, using what you have is part of the fun.


Still, those Dragon belts are a seperate piece that come right off, no fuss.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Hmmm, I am...intrigued.

Best accessories there are, and you could give your guy a 98k.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot indeed!

 

[rds13601]

That's pretty awesome Bob!!

 

[Dropshipbob]

Thank you good sir!

 

[Homer]

Finished!

Cool custom man! First thing I thought of when I saw this was Pink Floyd.

 

[K-Tiger]

What did you make the mask out of?

 

[Dropshipbob]

Thanks Homer, and I see what you mean!

K, it's just a PIT Commando gas mask, shaved a bit off the snout, cut the filter off the side, built up a new snout with milliput and attached the original filter to the end.

 

[K-Tiger]

Ah, Milliput work was envolved.
