I considered painting some of these figures with blood splatters & hand prints on their equipment, but at this tiny scale, I want to reserve most of the gore for the actual zombie figures, so that they are easier to pick-out on the tabletop. This also means that I can use them for less apocalyptic settings too. Not 100% happy with my attempt at a 'transparent' effect on the shields & visors, but it's passable at this scale. I may gloss varnish those areas.

Riot police
Back to 15mm scale for today's post - a group of riot police! These Rebel Minis figures are perfect for any zombocalypse or serious urban disturbance. I have painted them in modern British riot police uniforms (as featured in the nationwide riots of 2012), as I fancy gaming a zombie pandemic with a UK setting. Not sure on a rules set yet, but possibly Ambush Alley's 'Ambush Z'.
I'm pleased with the outcome, & the uniforms are a pretty good match for the real ones, other than the additional padding at the back of the helmet (where UK police have numbering in yellow), & the holstered sidearms (in the UK only a small number of Authorised Firearms Officers carry guns). However, in a zombie pandemic, I think that emergency legislation (or police taking matters into their own hands as society collapses) would mean that firearms would be issued widely...

Picasa Web Albums is still adding blue to most of my uploaded photos... I may have to start using a different storage service :-/

Imperial Navy chirurgeon (W40K)
Apologies for the poor quality of the photos - as of about a month ago, Picasa Web Albums started adding high levels of blue to my uploaded images, & I haven't discovered a simple work-around beyond repeatedly re-uploading until the image is as per the copy on my PC. Quite frustrating.
