Zomtober 2017 (Week 3)

This week's offering for Zomtober is another Studio Miniatures Zombie. I left this one quite late and basically did 90% of the painting this morning. That said, I am reasonably happy with it as tabletop standard and it adds another mini to the horde, and takes one more out of the unpainted pile.

I am not sure what injury killed this Zombie, so I added a bloodstain to his t-shirt to indicate trauma over and above his dislodged eye.

The past three weeks has seen some stunning outputs for Zomtober and to everyone taking part, well done; but I am most in awe of the painters able to complete multiple minis each week.

Several other bloggers have been re-posting the Zomtober bloggers list with their posts, so I felt I should at least do the same:

  1. Huzzah! Very nice work on the highlights of the jacket, PulpCitizen, they look excellent, as does your work on the shirt and bloody bullet holes. Wonderful little mini by "Studio Miniatures".

  3. The position and the bloodstains make it look like the zombie has literally just been hit by a shot to the shoulder, knocking him back, but not stopping the relentless advance.

    Remember. Headshots people!

    Nice work.

      You evidently read more into poses than I do, but now I can totally see what you say. :)

  5. Agree with Kieron, that pose says a shot to the shoulder and you've painted it brilliantly! As is the missing eye detail :)

  10. Looks as if he's got some gunshot wounds on the shoulder/upper torso, perhaps? Always good to see another finished model!

    1. Indeed, possibly gunshots, but even they don't look like they would have been fatal. :)

      And yes, I am glad another mini is done. :)
