diving back in...

So, I’ve been slowly getting a groove on, greenstuffed a load of zombies into the 17th century. I had them kind of half done from a few years back, but finished them off and slapped some paint on them. Not my best, but a) not bad for two plus years absence and 2) I hate doing rank and file and wanted to get them out of the way. Now, my laptop is dead so no fancy pics at the moment as I’m using my phone and no light tent, so a quick “painted something honest” shot below. Basing still to be sorted and will see to doing a photo session later...

Next up then is back to building... saw these online (Blotz.co.uk) and figured a change to the 4ground buildings would be good. The mill is interesting as with my fetish for interiors I’m looking forward to doing some workings in there. 


What is interesting is that the timbers are cut separately and stand proud... normally I’d do that myself with balsa, but may have to see if I can get a rough timber texture on them. The barn is simple enough, an extension floor is available, but I reckon I can do that myself. So far, so good, reckon I won’t go wrong to get a couple more if needed.

Welcome back! A good return, that looks like a solid enough zombie horde... and some half-timbered buildings to play around too. Blotz stuff looks pretty nice, alas I can't think of anything of theirs I actually "need" at the moment, lol. Looking forward to seeing how you finish these.

WB look forward to seeing the buildings take shape. Especially the interiors you mention.

What a welcome return this is! I'm looking forward to catching up on your activities, as inspirational as they ever were. And I, too, have only just returned to my models from a couple of years off. Coincidence? Yes, probably.
