New Project!

Well, after another one of my famous off the grid absences...I'm back. I've started work on a new project. Something I never thought I would be interested in. A 15mm Zombie apocalypse. The 15mm wild west table is down and the blank slate awaits...


Maybe its too much Walking Dead, maybe I've painted too many historicals, I don't know. I do know that at this past Fall-in I saw a 15mm Rebel Minis set of figures and all the trimmings for a game in the toys for tots auction. It looked awesome, so awesome I chased the set up to 1,100 at that point I made a sanity check and thankfully my rival was clearly more committed than I.

Well since losing the item I've been obsessed with making one on my 10x5. I have tracked down all the parts need to make the buildings and have painted tons of Rebel Minis, I sill have a few hundred zombies to paint...


Here is a test stand of 15mm living dead. I am fairly pleased. I am doing 60 single mounted and mix of stands with various numbers of zombies.


Here are some of the buildings stacked up and ready to go, the ones on the bottom right need painting and customizing.

The US Army...


I have to work on civilians, rioting civilians, and armed civilians. I'll post more pics once I begin laying the city out.
