Return Of The Living Dead question?

[thenammagazine]

That half corpse (Slab Cadaver kit?) is awesome. What scale is it?

I checked Alternative images website, but didn't see it still available.

Here is a pic of the 1/6 scale Tarman model kit on eBay.
The completed (bloodied) zombie pics are here:

At some point I'm gonna have to break down and buy that Tarman kit. I doubt we'll ever see any professional RotLD 1/6 figures.

 

[D'oh!]

Horror Sanctum Studios also makes a life sized "before" Tarman:

I've not seen one in person but I have their Devious Myers mask and Sam does good work.

I'd love a Tarman figure, 12" or smaller.

ROTLD would be a perfect license for Dooley. I'm sure it's a real possibility. I wouldn't imagine the rights to do figures would be any harder than Creepshow to obtain.

I 100% agree. This would be an awesome license to get ahold of.

Lol... I appreciate the non-gay bro-mance comment. And yeah I've thought about Re-Animator along with a long list of other projects. I'll just have to try and tackle what I can one thing at a time. I have a wish list that is slowly coming together. CREEPSHOW is just the beginning!

That is realy cool great piece mate.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

That model kit looks great. I really like it and recommend it.

After the eBay seller told me he thought it was 1/6 scale, I bought it.

Here is a pic with some of my other 1/6 zombies. I think it is very close to 1/6 scale.

I love how he's coming out of the container. Great pose. I may have to get one.

Earlier this year (2011) I found a "tarman" head on ebay- https://www.ebay.com/itm/TA62-03-1-...525?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20bda3805d.

Plus a "Bub" head: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TA02-04-1-...275?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20bdaba93b

(when I got'em they were 9.99 including shipping, buy it now, yay)

Being the bottomfeeder collector that I am, I fashioned my own tarman out of leftover 21st Century muscle body, a rubber skeleton from Walgreens (I'd bought the year before during halloween), a crap-load of dribbled hotglue, lots of brown and tan and black paint wash, and fabric scraps. The hands came off a crappy Zazzle Jack Sparrow body (it might have been the crappy Sau Feng from Zazzle, now that I think about it). It's not 100% movie accurate, but I likes it.

I've done several custom zombies (for fun), and have Dr. Tongue in the works (plus a bunch of extra heads I'm going to dremelize then "sculpt" on. Here are some of the other ones...

Plus zombies and the folks who fight'em...

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

That is very creative and it still looks very poseable. I've been wondering if hot glue would work on a custom Tarman. I even purchased some black hot glue on eBay.

Thanks for the pics.

I would DEFINITELY recommended a colored glue. I did this in clear, and acrylic washes do NOT want to stick to the glue. Also (and folks here are smarter than I so this is probably a huge DUH moment), paint the figure before applying the glue. Especially if you're a cheapskate like I and just use what's available in the house. That clear glue practically magnifies the non-painted skin underneath, and since the acrylic washes don't like to stick it makes for some quality forehead-smacking time.

Here's the one I did using that head. I sculpted the bones on the body with magic sculpt and then painted the dragon body black with spray paint. I shredded some black clothes and dipped them in gloss paint sealer and put them on the figure. Then touched everything up with a new paint job. Trash I made quite a while ago, I'd love to get my hands on the 1/6 artomic creation Linnea model kit to make a Trash head with a better likeness

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Thanks for showing these awesome customs.

Do you have any photos of the Artomic Creation model kit?
