Painting, Zombies/T-shirt, and Zulu Wars

 Hi Guys, I thought I would do a mini blog of something I haven't shown anywhere else.

Apart from sculpting the latest batch of zombies, I have been busy painting up the Wargames Factory Vixens and Male horde. In the photos below you can see the progress so far.

Hopefully they won't take too long to paint up since my dad and I plan to test out the rules he wrote, so we need tons of zombies!!

In the top photo, to the left of the photo, there is a female zombie about to "high five" a male zombie...










Apart from the zombies, I also have to paint up the survivors and the Dreamforge guys. I might leave the Dreamforge guys for a Christmas thing if I get bored lol







Zombie Range
I should have my new zombie range sorted this week, so off to the casters by the weekend. Hopefully they will be back in my hands around mid to late September, so in time for some Halloween gaming!!

ZULU Wars
If any of you guys are interested (or know of anyone who might be) I also decided to get in the Zulu wars range from WGF too. I have to order a certain amount of items each time I "re-order", so sometimes it's easier to buy a whole new range to make up the numbers. I do love the Zulu Wars though, so it worked out well, but that will be the last of the WGF stuff, as I don't want it taking over the website... like it's starting too!

Finally, someone mentioned T-shirts on Facebook today, which made be do this (Ignore the dotted line):

Kinda thought the zombie bust would make a cool zombie t shirt. I may be alone in that thought though!! haha Maybe I might do it... I dunno lol With a bit of photoshop i think it could work...

Anyway.. that's about it really, not much else going on. I've been a bit down today, staring at my bro's photo or into "space" for ages and not really getting much done :( ...Hopefully I'll "bounce back" tomorrow :)

Survivors, Zombies and "not" Doctor Who

I thought I would start by letting everyone know that the WGF Female Survivors are on their way to us, so if you would like to pre order them please send me an email to carl@grekwoodminiatures.co.uk or grekwoodminis@btinternet.com and I will reserve a pack for you. They will cost £15.50 so quite cheap!

For those of you who recognise these, these are from Crooked Dice, but we now stock those on our website too.

For those who didn't see this on my Facebook page, here are some WIP shots of my new zombie range which I should be sending to the caster this month.

They will be on sale sometime next month. Once again, 16 zombies, 8 females and 8 males.

Finally, here's some WIP painting I've been doing. Actually my dad started the "men" but I have taken over them now as he's busy with his work/etc

I've started painting the women up, and added some base tones to the men too.

The idea is we have some rules which my dad wrote for a zombie game. They are basic and are meant as a fast play rule set which is easy to understand and learn. So we need loads of zombies to use in our game!

Righty oh then...no much else to report really! Oh dont forget, if you are on Facebook join our apge and be in for a chance of winning some stuff :)

Cheers as always!

1000 Page views!

It's been about 2 months now and I have hit the 1000 page views point. May saw about 200 views, and June had increased to roughly 800 views. So I just want to say a big thank you to all who are "following" me and to all those who leave comments!

New Resin: Hospital Beds
The new resin arrived today, nice and quick, so thank you to Tiranti! It apparently needs a warm room, so hopefully the sun will pop out at some point. I think we may leave it to the weekend to try and cast the hospital beds. We plan to use all the "miss-cast" beds for our own personal use. We can patch them up and they'll look normal then, but I can't go selling patched up stuff, so it's best not to waste them.

EDIT: I just took a look at where the main problems were occurring with the casting. So I've taken back the originals and I'll sort them out to make them better for casting. Hopefully it'll work and we'll have more luck next time! Which brings me onto the next point... 

Hospital Building
We have decided to build our own hospital. Yesterday we spent an hour or so working out floor plans and what to include inside it. We decided that there should be a basement with a morgue, laundry room, and a boiler room. Ground floor will have an outpatients area with offices and communal area. The the first and second floor will be wards. Today I have been using Photoshop to put together walls, create windows and design it all. Hopefully I can put together a mock-up of a ward to see how it all looks. We'll have to get more foam card at some point, I only have about an A3 sized bit left.

I shall leave you all with a bit of painting I did. I was bored the other day, so I decided to grab one of my figures (the ogre) and decided to paint him to practice my painting skills. He's a WIP, so I'll add to him at some point. I might sell him on eBay if he turns out ok.

Enjoy, and thank you once again. Oh still no word on those zombie nurses/mutants/demons. I shall contact the caster again today.
