Opportunity's knocking! (It's the Elector Counts, they're Opportunity)
Here's some more sculpting practice on zombies. The head actually comes from the same 1999 (?) multi-part zombie kit as the rest of the parts, but it's very different in scale and more in line with other kits at the time (empire troops) or even modern Warhammer. I'm wondering why they included it, maybe it was sculpted by someone else, or possibly even part of a different kit originally.

I sculpted an iron hat as one of the Gary Morley zombies had one. I was inspired by those models to make mine more equipped for combat, but the spearhead and the hat took me a long while to sand and get right.

Sculpting practice! I have mixed feelings about the old multi-part zombie kit. On the one hand, it has a lot of charm, and many of the faces are great. On the other, the heads and hands are huge and the shoulder joins are pretty rough.
My main reason for doing this is to practice sculpting without having to create a whole figure from scratch, which is always intimidating.
I got to try things I've never done before, like the hair and the blade, as well as some anatomy and cloth, which is a struggle. I wanted to create a more martial zombie that holds a shield and appears more focused, inspired by the 90s ones sculpted by Gary Morley. The head is from the previous generation skaven stormvermin kit.
