Zombicide Survivors & Zombivors "Troy" (Bruce Campbell as Evil Dead's "Ash") & "Ralph" (Jack Nicholson as The Shining's "Jack Torrance")

Back to Zombicide today. We’ve got another pair of “inspired by” Survivors and their Zombivor counterparts – Specifically their versions of Ash and Jack (or “here’s Johnny!”)

Ash was one of the bonus survivors from Season 1, so took a little while for me to aquire. The model is pretty straightforward, and exactly the type of figure I enjoy painting sometimes. Just a simple and straightforwardly attired figure with decent proportions (well, not the shotgun hand, but most of the rest of him!) Turns out I also have the Ultimate Survivors version of Ash to get painted at some stage as well as an alternate version from another company.

The second model is Jack Nicholson’s character from The Shining. Not quite as nicely sculpted, but it still does the job and will be completely fine on the table. Another pretty straightforward paint job as it’s based on a film character rather than being an outlandishly dressed original character or one based on a backer – both of which tend to be overdressed and overgeared with the later 1st edition stuff. There’s also a bit of Jack’s “Joker” in these sculpts. I mean, it’s obviously the same actor, but it really comes out on the zombie sculpt, though it perhaps looks even more like Heath Ledger’s joker.

That’s all for today’s post!

Epic Sector : Sanctuary. Fabricator's Lair 3D Prints: Epic-Scale Grimdark (damaged) Gothic Building

Today I have yet another 3D printed Epic Scale building. This time, though it’s a paid one rather than a free STL. I picked this one up from Fabricator’s Lair on MyMiniFactory. This building comes from the Epic Scale Grimdark Gothinc Buildings Set #1 (try saying that five times fast!) but I actually purchased it as part of the Epic Sector: Sanctuary bundle – kind of like a buy-in Kickstarter thing as it contains a number of premade builds as well as literally hundreds of other elements, from road sections to bridges, premade buildings, modular buildings, scatter terrain and basically tons more. Basically, an incredible value – and nope – I didn’t get these for free and have no affiliation with the sculptor. I actually found these when I was looking for free buildings using Google and Yeggi, saw the images of some of the larger “government” type buildings, saw that someone was selling them on eBay as prints for quite a decent sum, then spent some time using GIS/Google Lens to eventually find where they came from, before purchasing the bundle.

I’ve got quite a fair few more of these prints that I still need to clean up and then paint. As I’ve mentioned, Flippy Never Sleeps and so the production happens faster than I can paint anything as it is, but the clean up is the tricksy part to be honest. The details on these buildings lend themselves well to looking good easily with fast techniques, which I’m definitely a fan of. The sculptor has just finished another campaign, Epic Sector: Industry which can also be picked up as a MMF purchase (and I paid for that oen myself, also). I’ve only run the little free test building from that one so far, but it seemed to be a cleaner FDM print so cleanup on those should be much faster!

I’ve now added in this comparison shot with a few stompy robots and tiny tanks and little mans so that you can see how this one is SO much bigger than all of the others I’ve shown so far. One day I should actually get some painted models finished to place alongside these buildings!
