Making different Zombies Part 2

My second converted Zombie (last seen here) was a conversion of Studio Miniatures parts, meeting a Wargames Factory survivor body. All in my quest to have variety in my zombie horde!

So here he is:



In case you are wondering, yes this is Rick, the former mall cop. And here he is, united with his one time buddy, Kevin...


Don't they just look like old friends? Give him a big hug Kevin....

In case you are wondering, I have been continuing to work on more of these converted Zombies. Here is the next one, Zombie Annie!


Made again from a Wargames Factory survivor body, Wargames Factory Vixen head, Some survivor arms too. The hands in this case come from the Vixens box as well, the Studio Miniatures hands were too big. While I think her head might be a bit out of proportion, I think it has the effect! After all the ads I have seen for the latest film version of Annie, I couldn't help myself and had to have a Z version....

Oh and the rest of the horde? Well it is growing steadily...


The next wave is made up of another set of Studio Miniatures Zeds, plus more conversions. But more on those when I get them painted!

I had better get back to the painting table (as much as I can while on holiday), don't forget to come back Friday for the next survivor!

  1. Annie being zombified is the very least she deserves - obnoxious brat! Nice conversion, Chris! The rest of the horde look great. It's very helpful being able to mix and match body parts.

    1. My thoughts entirely! I do love being able to mix and match plastics- although Annie was a bit more green stuff and dismembered hands than the other conversions so far.

      The horde is certainly growing!

  2. I used some zombie parts to vary my survivors but didn't think to do it the other way round! well done on some nice figures.

    1. Interesting- my brain went straight to using survivor bodies to make zombies, not the other way around. I am going to have to rake a look at making some survivors from zombie bodies now! Thanks for the idea .

    1. It definitely is- had to order more Zs from Studio Miniatures to keep the horde going!

    1. Thanks, I am pretty happy with how the first two have turned out. The other survivor figures aren't quite as easy to convert, but I think my skills are up to the task!

  6. The "Annie" conversion is excellent! Although the head may technically be a little large, the curly hair helps to disguise it's true size and the end effect is convincing.

    1. That was my hope- if all else fails I will just tell people that show biz gave her a big head!
