Set during the aftermath of an apocalyptic pandemic, the game pits its four protagonists — dubbed the "Survivors"— against hordes of the infected which take the form of fast-moving zombies.

Here's a breakdown of what when into making the four "survivors" and one zombie from the Left4Dead videogame:

-Tons of references: Scouring google and various mod sites for screen shots, game art (see WiP Shot) and video game textures / character model skins.
-Testor ink jet decal paper (both transparent and white/opaque)
-Vallejo Paints & varnishes
-Krazy Glue (to seal figures before varnishing - allows figures to be playable toys)
-Gel Type Superglue (part connection
-Various soft-plastic fodder and Citadel "green stuff" for bendable bits (collars, shirt flaps, etc.)
-All GI JOE parts are from 25th Anniversary -> onward figures. All fodder and figures used are are from the 3.75" scale unless otherwise noted.

:::Playset:

I honestly have no idea. I purchased it some time ago in a lot of items on a website. I added various layers of washes and paint to the doors, fence and trash can. Then using a mixture of Citadel red, black, and sepia washes, I added multiple blood splatters, hand prints, and dried pools to the set.
The loading bay door can open and close, the fence is re-positionable/removable, as is the crane-polls with alternate 'back alley' wall. There's three foot pegs on the set which allows GI JOE-scale figures to stand or lean about in a variety of awesome poses.

I'll post a link to more photographs of this set, including turn-arounds for each figure once the contest is complete. This project was a blast to make! I hope everyone likes it - Happy Halloween. :)
