As I said to Roger, I think that one of this set could be used as a fallen barrel, although I do afree with you both that a properly sculpted fallen barrel with zombie crawling out would be a bonus. By the way, I thought long and hard about what colour to paint the barrels and I went through loads of colour combinations in my head before settling upon white. I agree, it does work well.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-21447183499126445282011-11-13T20:11:45.856+00:002011-11-13T20:11:45.856+00:00Great set of figures and your usual great paintjob...Great set of figures and your usual great paintjob; your choice of white for the colours of the barrels was truly inspired, it really sets of the figures well. <br /><br />It would have been nice to have seen a barrel on its side with a zombie crawling from it though.<br /><br />As markers for spawn points or whatever these pieces come into their own.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-78121385077200594782011-11-11T09:37:22.498+00:002011-11-11T09:37:22.498+00:00Thanks for your enthusiastic response, Roger.
Lo...Thanks for your enthusiastic response, Roger. <br /><br />Looking at the poses of the figures I'd guess that zombie number 1 (the one at the far left of my photos) would be a fair candidate for a lying down zombie. As far as I remember the bottom of the barrel is flat. You'll probably have to do a bit of filing on the side of the barrel touching the ground just to get it to lie flat. It certainly would have been a good idea if Eureka had made a lying down barrel with the zombie crawling out of it.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-15732992609750935982011-11-11T01:31:49.794+00:002011-11-11T01:31:49.794+00:00These are must haves!
