ZOMBIES ZOMBIES ZOMBIES !!!

I luv zombies & zombie movies, there's no denying it..... the classic slow stumbling kind, those 21st century 'fast mover' ones etc etc etc. Which is why i'm dying to catch this latest French release.

Sypnosis: On the outskirts of Paris, four corrupt cops go on a rampage to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, holed up in a condemned building. Once there, the officers’ personal vendetta turns into a nightmare. Trapped, they are about to be executed when the unimaginable occurs: hordes of bloodthirsty, cannibalistic creatures invade the building, savagely attacking everyone. Running to the roof, the survivors discover that their entire world is in chaos. The streets are filled with massive heaps of countless cadavers and the entire city is in flames. Alone and wounded, despite their mutual hatred, the gangsters and cops have no choice but join forces if they want to survive. They’ll have to make it down thirteen floors full of voracious creatures but the greatest threat lies elsewhere…

NAM GRUNT

Have had this Wild Works Nam set for some time now but unfortunately other bashes took precedence.

There had been quite a few nicely done bashes posted on OSW forum base off the set since it's release. Recalled one bash using the HT slim + h/s in outdoor shoot & another with the Loading Toys courier h/s.

Decided to bash mine differently without a glam lookin h/s, just another grunt. A DID h/s+body which just happen to be available was used. Various other HT accessories was also added to max-out the figures loadout. The Wild Works BDU was ditched & replaced with (possibly) 21C which was more weathered & faded.

That about wraps up my last bash for the year while i chill & sit out the coming holidays.

MERRY X'MAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR to all who visited this blog.

BROOKLYN'S FINEST

An intense cop drama from the director of Training Day which was one of my all time favorite cop movie. With Ethan Hawke in the cast as well as Wesley Snipes back in his 'New Jack City' roots. Release Mar 2010, lookin forward!!!

Scene with the ESU sure looks cool. Damn, wunder if they ever had a 1/6 Body Bunker manufactured???

YAKUZA ASSASSIN

Whip up this quick & simple bash over Thanksgiving weekend as assassin fever rips up screens worldwide. Took the liberty to borrow the presentation idea as well.

PARTS:
Head: Crazy Owners (Ninja)
Body: BBI G3.5
Glove hands: HT
Top: HT (Wesker)
Pants: BBI (Terminate)
Boots: BBI
Shoulder hostler: HT
.357 + Python: DML
Sword: Mononofu
Shades: Dr. Figures
Watch: ???

MOVIE TRAILER

More cheesy B-grade action mayhem???

Seeing 2 of the 80/90s action icons on screen together is worth the price of admission!!!

1/6 Bullpup Assault Rifle

An original effort from the guys i usually get my parts from (not available anywhere else.... so i've been told).

U.S. Navy SEAL - Pointman

A logical follow-up to my last post/bash.

One of the more memorable characters in TOTS almost in the same vein as SPR's Pvt. Jackson though he ain't got much lines in TOTS as opposed to Pepper's scripture quoting sniper in SPR.

Once again not an entirely movie accurate bash due to parts shortage & also not sure if the Pointman designation is correct. I'm guessing so from the shotgun he carries in the movie.

Parts utilizes an old DML rig & HT Truetype. M4 is a bash of TS, HT & VH parts, with the rest of the loadout being HT, TS, VH etc. in the mix.

All comments appreciated.

U.S. Navy SEAL - Team Leader

Unofficially, i'm calling this bash: "The guy who lost half his squad coz of the BIG Boobies".... that's jus plain crude & low (me i mean, for calling that....it's meant to be a joke, no offence) but i was kinda thinkin the whole plot about saving the tribal bloodline thingy was jus to give the movie a kind of higher purpose???

Anyhow, reason for the bash was again because i miss the boat on the TS release which i considered kinda high for a $180 price-point at that time. On hindsight FENG's excellent h/s could have well been worth the $$$.

And up till a few weeks ago this was one of my 'shameful post of unfinished project' as those in OSW would call it, started a few years ago, missing a suitable h/s & H-harness. The TS Navy SEAL Rifleman (woodland) accessory set would have been ideal to kick start this lost cause but the set had since been almost totally extinct.

It was sheer luck recently stumbling on a fellow compatriot's used parts for sale that i manage to cannibalize the H-harness from part of a vest release by TS or perhaps ACE. Other parts are a mish-mesh of DML, HT, BBI & TS. So the H-harness was modded, comms earpiece & knives are not movie accurate but considering even the TS release blundered on the lefty hostler, had 2 knives instead of 3 & even did not manage to get the M4 right.... i'm not too bothered with my amateur effort.

So that about wraps up the bashes on my 'to do list', this & Miller & Snake.... Kinda surreal, all 3 bashes in limbo all these years & completed in the space of a few months.... First a break (at least for a couple of days), then gonna start cracking on what to work-on next before the bashing-bug bites.
