Zombie Killer

[geezerman]

Been shying away from the zombie aspect in my apocalypse series, but now the time is ripe and I'm calming the festering in my brain.\
Some time ago. I got into writing some zombie poetry with one of my grandsons...Limericks and Haiku. Unless Skid sits on me, I'll be boring you all with some of them as I build." A mind is a terrible thing to waste", I think I can prove that mine has been wasted for some time !

The zombie who’s known as Abdul
Was renown in the mosque as a fool.
Virgins he claimed ,
after being horribly maimed
Were useless ‘cause he blew off his tool.

Gathering stuff that I may be using.


I'll be using the Willys body (that's all I have of it) and one of those hoods, The gold plastic frame of unknown origin, pickup box (for gathering up the carcasses), and that yellow auger type tool ( whatever that came from )!

 Grave yard gate looms big
Skinbags passing other side
Tee Hee I'll jump out

*The hair on old Voodoo Fred
in it’s prime, was a glorious red.
It’s now not so grand
and the one final strand
is wound  into one single dread.

Fitted a floorboard to the frame.


Trimming the frame to the body.


Will try to shoehorn this big block in !


Fitting a front clip.

*There was this old zonked  biker
Who stopped and picked up a  hiker.
Her skin was in shreds,
her hair was in dreads.
Dude said, ”It's  cool ‘cause I like ‘er

It's a chore to find a pair of matching backing plates to fit these tires.


I changed the engine from the ratty 429. Found a smaller decent one and put on a set of Red Ram valve covers. Back on the rear kickup you can see the out- of-sight carnage I inflict as I try to get something to hang a rear end assembly on.

Your spare wheels look like mine do and I sorted them out a couple of years back....

There was a young zombie that died
by eating something she’d fried.
She went to Saint Peter,
He stepped out to greet her,
And said something about his Rolodex and screwed up the whole meter, so I’ll set this whole limerick aside

Trying to fit up several hoods to this Willys. This 48 Ford is the closest, but still not good enough for further messing with ! I'll get some better (serious) induction and go hoodless !!

Intermingling
Our flesh oozes together
Zombie passion burns

[geezerman]

The zombies came on like a flood.
Walking  and slogging thru mud.
Their feet were all caked,
and their skin was all flaked.
And , generally, they all looked like crud!

Not much new. Working on getting the frame on wheels. Shortening a PU bed ( less carcasses to hold, but looks better)

[geezerman]

The zombie walks round in his shroud
while his flesh spores away in a cloud.
His eye sockets smarting
his lung holes afarting!
It’s his allergies, for crying out loud!

Up on wheels. Now maybe I can get into the interesting stuff !

[bob29579]

Something in primer in the background ? Nice chop, open the windshield into the roof ? ha This one looks good too.

I hope you're using all your BRAINS on this one! Thanx!

[geezerman]

Oh, the mummys and freaks and the ghouls
And zombies cavorting in schools.
Are dancing around in the night.
Creating a horrible fright.
While their flesh drips and gathers in pools.

Minimal effort interior bout done. Frenching in a set of 40 Ford headlight rims, and working on the WEAPON.

Full moon out tonight
Hairy wolf has made his change
Spored my mold on him

Half off price huge sale
Brand new jar of Skin So Soft
Big waste of money

I seldom include figures with my builds ( I try to avoid a toy like appearance), but I'm trying to make a load for the ZK's bed. 1st attempt is with a rubber Halloween skeleton. Too big of a scale. However, I removed one arm, thinking to have it dangling out from under a tarp.


Next inspiration was to check  my 'bone' stash.  EUREKA !! There was a mummified mouse skeleton! I can use this !!


Too long for the small bed, but with the tarp idea, I can use the torso. Severed it at the spine and will try to detail the back of the mouse's skull, trimming off the nose part. Couple scraps of rag, and I might make this halfway presentable.

[bob29579]

I think altering skeletons and bones is what starts the zombie thing in another 15 years or so, isn't it ?

[bob29579]

Wait a second here. You have a bone stash ?

[geezerman]

Several years ago. Bob, I found a squirrel skull under some bushes in my yard. It was the inspiration for my 'Rodent' build

Later, I aquired some more skulls and I 'embellished them with some large thorns from one of my bonsai trees.


I later built a model from a skull that my sister had found.


So, yeah, I have a small stash that I've collected. I lots of times save stuff that I think I may later find a use for. In this case the mummified mouse carcass  was just the thing for this build.

[bob29579]

I remember those. They still look cool.
