Work on my second zombie by Kevin Adams is complete, and I even had a little attempt at a shield freehand design. As with the last miniature, this figure was released in June 1986 along with a large bunch of other rotters. He had a fairly long shelf life for a zombie, and was still available in the '90s as simply 'sickle'.
I used a similar colour scheme as before, with greater use of silver metallics to paint up his rusted armour. For this I based everything in Foundry's Chainmail A, washed the lot with layers of brown and black ink before highlighting up with the remaining shades in the triad. Obviously using the lightest tone to pick out a few details on the edges of the breastplate and raised areas of the tattered chainmail.
As you may be able to spot from this photograph, my eyes were really playing me up when I was trying to paint the teeth and this side of the model looks a bit gappy. But I am happy he is finished. Painting the shield design wasn't as hard as I was expecting. To be honest, I was a little worried about how things would turn out but if anything, I rushed through things as I enjoyed it so much. In hindsight, I should have waited for the layers of paint to dry thoroughly before moving on.
You live and learn, I guess.
I finished the shield up by carefully edging the rim with bright silver.
All in all, a nice little model, if a little rank and file in style.

Those Kev Adams zombies are great, and a good choice of you're have steadiness and/or vision problems. They're very forgiving and washes work well on them. Plus you can always hide any mistakes with liberal application of gore and others bodily fluids!
ReplyDeleteAlso, that skull came out great! I wish I could freehand one that well!
Thanks Andrew. The painting process you describe is exactly why I chose undead as a starting point. Great minds and all of that! (:
DeleteBravo for the beautifull colours!
ReplyDelete:-)
Thank you sir!
DeleteLovely zombie, so much character.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex! (:
DeleteGood to see you back, I hope you are on the mend now. I have a few of those skeletons somewhere that need a re paint!
ReplyDeleteGo on and paint them - you know you want too! (;
DeleteLovely work on this zombie and good to have you back!
ReplyDeleteYour work and your blog inspired me to return to my old lead. I started to complete collecting my 3rd Edition Dark Elves army while painting my remaining 4th Edition stuff. I documented my progress in a blog as well: https://georcs-workbench.blogspot.com/
Thank you so much for the inspiration and motivation for these projects which brings me so much joy. Keep up your excellent work and my best wishes for your recovery. Kind Regards from Germany,
Georg
I am glad that this humble blog has been of some use, GeOrc. I have had a look at your blog and was impressed with your Dark Elf collection. I had a go at painting up a Witch Elf as a result. Let's just say, my painted models are NOT as good as yours ):
DeleteMaybe a cherubic halfling face on the shield in a bit of contrasting humor?

PROFESSIONAL WIZARD HACKERS RECOVERY WE ARE THE BEST IN TOWN
Let us help you reclaim what’s yours!
My process for recovery has been kind of a bumpy process because of the fake recovery agents I encountered. However with the support given to me by RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY SERVICES, I have collectively succeeded in recouping my locked up BTC Assets valued at $326,790 within the space of 48 hours !! Or rather the team worked hard on my behalf, I only had to provide them with a few details regarding my investment with the fraud company and they did the rest for me. Prior to meeting RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY FIRM, I had met a few recovery agents as well, that only seemed to care about their service fee similar to what the fraud company was doing to me and at some point I almost gave up the believe that I would ever get back my money but today I’ve done full circle to come back here and give my own thankful review since I learnt about the team through the many reviews on here. I feel ready to take on the world with my new found awareness and RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY on my team! … I wish they would create more awareness platforms and opportunities to help enlighten more people about crypto and how best to navigate the digital financial landscape, this will surely help to reduce the fast spreading fraudulent activities going on here & there and save potential investors from falling prey!. Glad I know it now and I can teach it to my children so they wont make the same mistakes I did. You can also contact them via their official Email address: RIGHTWAYLAWRECOVERYSERVICE@GMAIL.COM

My dad added me in a forum online where I met people testifying about, a hacker, Software Specialist who is helping hundreds of people all over the world in recovering their scammed/stolen funds. Frankly speaking, am glad he did because I needed help to recover back my funds though I had not mentioned anything to him. An investor I met on Telegram introduced me to cryptocurrency. I loved the idea and opted to invest through the site. These people will lure you by accepting you to make your first withdrawal depending on how much one invests with them. I contacted intelfoxrecovery (@) mail (.) com when it became impossible to withdrawal my funds worth $83,000 anymore and the guys whom I invested with, went silent on me. I gave Intel Fox Recovery all the required information and after 3 days of working, he recovered my funds. I was surprised and grateful at the same time. I really appreciate my dad for introducing me to the forum. If you are in the kind of situation I got myself into or scammed through the following: crypto Scams, Impersonation Scam, Investment Scam, Romance Scam, Purchase Scam or even an Invoice Scam, get in touch with the Intel Fox Recovery team before it’s too late.
