I said never again...
Then a guy on eBay made me an offer I couldn't refuse, 20 figures for less than £1 each, a 3D printing company had seen me looking at figures online and although my bid did not succeed they came back to me with the offer!

| The undercoated figures, they came without bases and had to be superglued to MDF disks |
So I thought it'd be rude not to use this as my last post for this challenge. Remember the dead never sleep!

| A whole new addition to the Herd |
I'm relatively new to 3D printed figures, they looked nice online but I was even more pleased once I'd seen them after the landed on my doorstep - about three weeks ago. If I have one criticism, it would be that the resin used in this case seems a little brittle, almost immediately my clumsy fingers broke off an arm from one of the figures. No worries though a drop of superglue and I transplanted one loose limb to an appropriate stump on another figure and I'd created two new distinct figures.

| Close-up of four figures, the one on the left has a distinct Medieval feel to it, the rest are very contemporary |
Another nice feature of this batch was that they were picked at random from a selection of 10 poses. These poses were produced in two versions - that is mirror images of each other - so in fact there are 20 different figures in the random pool that he group was selected from!

| Left is a Blacksmith, in this group of four more Zombies, second right had the 'broken' left arm added to her stump to give her two functioning arms! |
The figures were undercoated in white and then a variety of skin tones applied as discussed in previous posts, I use appropriate colours to 'dress' the figures before using different coloured washes to shade the skin and clothes. Blood was applied as I saw fit, Less is more in my opinion.
 |
| Another four completed figures in close-up |
If anyone looks closely at the bases they will see I have continued with my concrete pavement theme but added some debris to the bases, again using the less is more maxim. I've now created a new job for myself to retro-fit this debris effect to my other figures in the collection!

| Figure second right carries a pointy stick, left hand figure is the one I snapped the arm off when opening the packaging... |
 |
| As does the left hand figure here is the mirror images of the guy with the stick above |
