I’m used to storms here in New England. Unfortunately, sometimes they screw with my painting time. Since I had no power to Piper’s Painting Pit on some key days last month, I was unable to get my entry for Dave Stone’s “Apocalypse Me<\/a>” challenge done on time. Here she is, better late than never; and no, she doesn’t look like me at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lovely lass is “Hungry Bertha”, an OOP Horrorclix miniature from the Freakshow set. As many of you know, repainting and rebasing Clix is something I quite enjoy. So I decided to make Bertha look a little better, paint-wise, and a little more zombified. That way she could (theoretically) be my entry for Zombtober, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The lollipop stuck to her backside is a nice touch, as are the mysterious and loathsome slime trails emanating from her various folds. Lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I decided to add some gore to her base…a few GW zombie bits, some green stuff intestines…you get the idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add copious layers of Blood for the Blood God, some gloss varnish on her lollipop and slime trails, and here is the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This close up shows that I should clean up her eyes a bit, methinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon reflection I thought it might be fun to make a diorama out of Bertha here, with her teetering upon a veritable mound of body parts and gore; but I was under the gun as it was. This will have to do for now. Still…it’s a thought for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apologies for being late, Dave!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
