We really are getting to the pointy end now. In fact I’d say my 16th post, so not the next but the next, will be the final. I’m really excited to get some photos of the whole thing completed.
For this WIP post though I wanted to share a beer with you…


Anyway, a beer without a drinker is like tits on a bull POINTLESS so, ironically, the first figure I painted for the Fembruary challenge this year is a man. It’s a future me in fact.





I’ve also added some more steel drums and Jerry cans here and there but haven’t photographed them yet.
I finished the “Anti Zombie Kombi” too but you’ll have to wait to see that as well.
I’m super excited to be getting this finished soon and to show you all the diorama in its entirety.
Hope everyone is well.
Cheers
IRO
What’s this mate – you’ve hardly touched that pint and you’re legless already! 😉 This is looking great, can’t wait to see the final showcase 🙂

Nice bit of detail with the beer, like things like that and the name of the brew is inspired too. Hop a Long IRO looks very good as well but I can’t see any tatoos on that left hand? But hey this is the apocalypse and I guess things happen 😉. The big question of course is how did you come to lose your leg? No doubt you’ll come up with all sorts of fluff but my money is on you chopping it off with a chainsaw while you were drunk gardening. 🙂

Oh yeahhhhhh I should have done a tattoo bugger. It’s too late now. Haha I’ll have to have a think how I came to lose that leg. Possibly a bucks night gone very, very wrong.

Sorry mate but it’s little details like that which ruin it for me. All that hard work down the drain! Only kidding, it’s looking awesome and I’m as excited as you to see the end result and pictures. 🙂

When I first saw that photo I thought you were running toward the beer, typical Aussie! but no you’ve lost a leg! As Wudagast has already pinched the best joke 😞. I’m going to say your Daughters put it on the Barbeque when times were tough, bloody kids cost an arm and a leg!!
You wont be much use in an ass kicking contest now will you, and I hope that combi is an automatic!
Cheers Roger.

Haha thanks mate. I’m not sure the company because it came in a clear plastic pocket but I found him on eBay. Glad you’re liking it mate

Excellent additions IRO, as for the reason you lost the leg, you could go down the Walking Dead route, where you got bit by a zombie and had to chop the leg off to stop the infection.

Love that Kansas song, also Dust in the Wind. And Point of Know Return. Great album was “Leftoverture”. Check them out if you have not already (man I miss the music of the 1970s). Nice work on the beer, and agree with TIM, though Roger stole my joke. It’s ok, because unlike you in the future, he still has a leg to stand on. Really am intrigued with your progress and the future you figure. I’d tie in its loss to a heroic act on your part to save your daughters. Cool!

Great songs and a great band. Music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s was my favourite.

That figure is amazing, really nicely done. At first glance with the background included I though you’d photoshopped it all, shack, man, beer and background!
Nice beer btw 🙂

Cheers Marv. I’m quite pleased with how he turned out I just think the stubble needed to be more opaque

The beer looks great but I like the mini you’ve added even more. Its perfect for a diorama like this and is another visual cue that things aren’t so hot in the world at this moment. Keep the updates coming. I wouldn’t think there is too far left to go on this dio now.
