Zomtober Week 1 - Part 2

 Continuing Zomtober, I've gotten a few bits of scatter completed & started working on some of the Walking Dead objective markers & barricades.

Up first we have a couple of Fire Hydrants & a Garbage bin, all 3d printed by me from one of the first STL kickstarters I backed, but was unable to print as they were designed for a resin printer.

 I tried some weathering on them & am happy with the result. Orignally I was going to mount the hydrants on washers, but then thought that simply using a bit of sticky tack would be a better option.

As for the garbage bin, I added a bit of tissue, & a piece of sprue to represent rubbish.

Another item I 3d printed was an electrical box for use on the side of a building...which one day I will actually start building. I added a printed emblem with the electricity symbol. I find these online & then reduce them down to where I believe they would be to scale. Then after cutting them out, I dip them in water & mix that with a bit of white glue (thus making the glue watered down too). I find this works well, however you need to be careful & not handle them roughly or they shred.

Moving on to a couple of objective markers from the Walking Dead Miniatures game. Just did the 2 packs as they were quick. Again adding some printed magazine covers, or hand painted map.


Lastly I did up a wood fence barricade. This also comes from the Walking Dead terrain set. For the boxes behind, I filled the open ones with some small stones grabbed off the street.




So onto some more Zombie themed fun!

    1. Thanks Zabadak, I have a lot more items from that stl file kickstarter to print too. Just did some ATM machines. Ned being one of the original Zombicide characters was painted a couple years ago now. Been thinking in my head about doing a campaign for it. In effect charcters will retain what they had from the previous scenario, however as their xp will stay where it is too, that means the following scenarios will begin at those spawn levels too. Some of the cards will need mods, such as 'Plenty of Ammo' being a one shot deal, when you use it, it gets discarded.
