Awesome work. I'd really love to see more zombies available- SS seems to have lost interest.

^X's 2.
But I feel that's because he doesn't make Super Heroes or movie characters that most people here relate to. Anyone that does something fun and original usually don't get many comments sad to say. I love your work 8-bit, you got me interested in making zombies now!
So much awesomeness in your dio's too!

it's just nice to even have an opportunity to share. thank you.

Outstanding photos dude keep them coming mate

thanks man. will do.

Re: 8-bit commando WIP thread - latest: ZOMBIES, DIORAMAS + MILITARY

the balaclava is in place and the fit is nice. HT head sculpts are huge. anyways, i had to go to town on the HS to make it fit. i plan on keeping this masked configuration as an actual head swap - it's too complex to take apart (read: pain in the arse), but is totally possible. this is a good thing considering i still need to open it back up for some addt'l modding. the mask plate can be removed to reveal the operator underneath, so i haven't touched the face of the sculpt at all, just the portion you'll never see.

these guys are gearing up to kill (?) some zombies!

trying to really go over the top here. decals are currently on my mind...

Can't really tell what you've done (in a good way), because these look great. No weird lumps or big head syndrome. Your photo work is top notch! The tv feed adds such character.

thanks man. i did some minor work to the inner framework of the helmet to better accommodate the ballistic face plate. the face plate itself has been heavily dremeled down to a specific shape and size from the TYRUS triad toys release. the balaclava was carefully altered to show as little fringe as possible. i will also be adding velcro, addt'l equipment(s) and some decals to each helmet. the HT head sculpt was also dremeled heavily to fit. Soldier Story heads tend to be smaller than hot toys, so the effect was even more pronounced.

payne has only one good eye so his helmet mounted binocular will actually be a monocular. addt'l customization will take place to distinguish one twin from the other.

thanks for checking in artoo!

Re: 8-bit commando WIP thread - latest: ZOMBIES, DIORAMAS + MILITARY

here are my twin PMC zombie hunters - still need to personalize them a bit more - some decals, probable a black grease paint look around their eyes, etc.

pretty close though - 85-90%

here's an iPhone photo with more even lighting to see the new applied skin texturing and repaint.

the next step is applying some doll hair, bone/blood/wet apps and finally eyes.

i'm also working on the hands. i'll post pics of those later.

thank you for checking out the thread.

take care.

Re: 8-bit commando WIP thread - latest: ZOMBIES, DIORAMAS + MILITARY

Amazing stuff! Love the look of the skin texture, and I'm sure we'll be blown away when you add the hair, eyes and blood.

i love taking photos with my iPhone, but when it comes to actually capturing information and detail, an SLR is the way to go.

skin texture completed.

eye whites painted in.

next steps are hair, blood, pupils and addt'l wet apps.
