I have some crawling victims I am going to do. Anyway there is a D&D plastic dead man that can easily be converted to modern. I got mine from The Miniature Market. I think I'll make mine into a bum though.Rogzombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032567416650048390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-21661673744386268042011-05-14T09:48:34.274+01:002011-05-14T09:48:34.274+01:00Thanks, guys.

Being plastic, they'll be easy to chop up or file flat where need be. I still have some spare WF sprues, so I might give it a go.<br /><br />As for sculpting your own, well... it's an option, for sure. I have some experience of sculpting figures (some of my work has appeared on my blog) but I've never sculpted a corpse. It should be a lot easier than sculpting a standing figure, but even with my experience, I'd be looking to see what will convert before thinking about sculpting something brand new. But then again, how hard can it be to sculpt a corpse? Even if, for example, you make a complete pig's ear of sculpting his face (always the hardest thing to get right) just mess the head up with a cocktail stick and say someone blew his head off with a shotgun! Hmmm, that could be quite fun!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-29888427701241042472011-05-11T22:03:39.442+01:002011-05-11T22:03:39.442+01:00Thanks for this Bryan.

I have considered using the Wargames Factory plastic zeds to do this (low cost, high volume and I know they don;t scvale so well standing up, but figure lying down they shoudl work ok?) I'm guessing that you might be able to comment in the next post or so? :)<br /><br />Almost tempted so sculpt some for myselfZombie Adhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01927366159778203819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-48720805608373958772011-05-11T20:49:33.354+01:002011-05-11T20:49:33.354+01:00@Brian.

I totally agree that a group of corpses bring a lot of flavour to a gaming board but especially so in a zombie apocalypse setting.<br /><br />@Apeekeaboo. Thanks for that link. What I particularly like about that corpse is that it is generic enough to be used as a civilian or a soldier.
