Nazi Zombies Rebel Minis 15mm
If you follow my site, you will see that this is my second shot at these. As they are in 15mm, and the first time I have painted these, I had to take my first attemptas a bit of a proto. Granted I paint primarily in 28mm. I started out doing lots of 1-72 miniatures and that was long ago. I do have some of the chops required. Granted I am not a master at these but I try. That being said, I would like to tell you how I came about this look for the second attempt. Firstly,I noticed that under standard room light, like what you get at cons, the figures seemed dark and dull. I decided to try a second batch and make them lighter so I added off-white to all the colors-uniform, helmet, dead flesh and so on. I then watered the wash so as to not kill the brighter colors as had happened in my first attempt. Anyway, my son Benny, 8 saw them in the last stage as they were being based. He mentioned how they would look better with blood on them like in the movie “Dead Snow.” I tried it and went with the look. Also, camera/lighting issues plagued my initial batch of pictures. I needed to address those. I had a card error issue but quickly replaced it and resolved that problem as well.
