She&#8217;s using fistfuls of guts for pom-poms. I am not familiar with Tiger Lily or Abbey Chase, so I had no misgivings about repainting them completely for use as modern survivors. The Abbey Chase miniature could also work for a pulp heroine. Tiger Lily looks like Peter Criss without the armor. Repainting her face was easy, but what was kind of annoying was her T-Shirt. It has some design on it that I couldn&#8217;t make out, so I just painted the broken heart over it and I think it looks ok.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08153.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2828\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08153-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08153-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08153-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08153.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08154.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2829\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08154-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08154-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08154-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC08154.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But Zombtober isn&#8217;t about REPAINTING zombies; it&#8217;s about painting zombies.
