Zombicide: Black Plague – Dungeon Trapdoors (3D Print)

by

For my recent(ish) birthday I recieved partial use of a FDM (Filament) 3D printer. Specifically a Bambulab A1, which various YouTube videos describe as being closer to an appliance than a hobby – which is what I personally want from a 3d printer. I say partial use, because it’s been spending a lot of time when I thought it would be printing miniature scenery. boardgame components and related objects it has in fact been printing shiny bangles and earrings and the like. I’ll say more about all that later own down the road.

In the meantime while I get used to using it, and try to figure out how to get around various pitfalls (I dunno how people are printing great looking figures without horrible support scarring), I’ve been printing a lot of scenery and objects on the simpler side – these trapdoors for Zombicide Black Plague amongst them.

I used Sunlu PLA Meta using FDG’s presets. One set each for the purple and Yellow Trapdoors. I changed up the stone colour as well to provide more visual interest and distinction. One of the hinges on one of them broke clipping them in after painting so I superglued it back on and will play with fingers crossed! Turns out that I later found another version of the file with reinforced hinges. Ah well, hopefully these will last! I also added texture trying to subdue the print lines on the top surface using AK Interactive’s Easycast texture Medium.

Being pieces for Zombicide, I’ll assume that they also qualify for Dave Stone’s latest Apocalypse Me challenge as well…

Zombicide Toxic City Mall Expansion: Toxic Walkers

Today we have the final two poses of Toxic Zombies from Zombicide: Toxic City Mall! Two different sets of male Zombies in puffer jackets.

While the blog hasn’t had consistent updates over the last couple of months, I was still doing some painting during that period, even if I was not actively posting.

So with two more sculpt types left to complete the Toxic Zombies, I managed to knuckle down and get them (finally) complete. If I had been posting with frequenct at the time I did these, we’d have had a post for each as I got each set done, but as I’m posting them tso much later a combined post for both works.

Both types of remaining walkers are males wearing puffer jackets. When photographed en masse these two poses in particular look like a troupe of dancers from the Thriller music video.

With these shirtless, puffer-jacket-wearing undeadlies, you can pretty clearly see why I did not put out the call for more t-shirt design nominations – though there will be (at least one more) set of T-shirt wearers in the (near? ish?) future to paint.

That’s it for the moment. I’ve not quite got all of the survivors and such from, Toxic City Mall painted (yet, I think?) but I’ll have to get a shot of all of my Toxic Zombies as well as a “boxed set completed” shot including the survivors once I have them all done.
