Wow, time flies when your unwell and spend a couple of days in bed. Still not feeling 100%, but a little better than I was. Haven't done too much hobby stuff this week, mainly R&R, but I have managed something.
To start us off we have another piece of zombie art, the latest attempt to bring some culture to this most uncultured blog. It's also the latest instalment in my GRIMBRO obsession.
Eagle-eyed viewers will recognise the zombie clown from the closing scenes of Zombieland. Columbus, one of the main protagonists, had a fear of clowns so there just had to be a zombie clown during the finalè. The zombie clown was played by Derek Graf.
It has been brought to my attention that since my last post, this humble little blog has passed 10,000 pageviews. To say I'm amazed at this news would be a massive understatement. A massive THANKS goes out to all of you who take the time to check in on my weekly output of nonsense.
It would appear that the welcome wagon needs to be brought out of storage again, to welcome my latest follower Stephen. So a big BZA welcome must go out to him. WELCOME STEPHEN. Grab a seat, get comfortable this is taking ages.
OK, so what have I done since last time. Well to be honest, only a little but I have been ill. I have to wait until payday next week to buy more ink to printout more card/paper scenery, so while twiddling my thumbs I had a bolt of inspiration, fences to go with said buildings.
ATZ, has 3 different settings. Rural, urban and suburban. So I figured that each setting would need different styles of scenery. This lead to a little brainstorming and research. Lo and behold, I came across the perfect rural fences on a fellow blogger's blog, Zadabak's Zombieworld provided the template of the look I was after, so I stole the idea.
I used Joe's excellent post as a starting point but needed my fences to be truly free standing, without the corner pieces. I managed to find lolly sticks 10mm smaller than the 120mm fence lengths, using these and matchsticks, I cobbled together a basing system for the individual fence panels. I then covered the raw wood with an old oop GW product, Flesh Wash, an ink based pigment which stained rather than painted the fences. Alas my bright idea was undone, where the PVA had done it's job it prevented the ink staining properly. This was remedied by the application of very dark brown paint, GW Rhinox Hide.
More urban fences were made with bamboo skewers and a mesh product used for rendering and plastering. Using foamboard as a base and very fine fuse wire to tie the mesh to the skewer poles. They were then sprayed with metallic silver paint and distressed with a chestnut ink to simulate rust.
During my R&R I had a chance to catch up with some zombie movies that I hadn't seen. Namely Cockneys vs Zombies, The Dead, [REC] 3: Genesis and a re-watch of Planet Terror. Not a bad way to spend an illness.
Well that's all I got for now dudes and dudettes, so until next time try and do as the DUDE does and "take it easy".
