Thick-skinned undead

Zombie Rhinoceros
28mm scale



Animal zombies... a philosophical mystery.  We know human zombies as mindless, bloodthirsty savages, reduced to a single drive: kill the living.  But when other animals are infected, do they become the same species of generically aggressive, flesh-rending creature?  Or is some vestige of their original nature preserved?


This is another Bears Head Miniature, received as a miscast freebie in my last order.

Since somebody asked, the basing is Milliput textured with an Instant Mold stamp of the bumpy privacy glass from our bathroom door :D

The last sight of many an African zombie-hunter...

  1. Scary! Yet nice. Contradictory, but true.

  2. Ahhhh, what a... beauty? Fantastic work as always! It really looks like a rotting piece of flesh.

  3. That's a really scary model 😲, but as a good thing.
    Beautiful brushwork as ever, I'm in awe.
    How did you do the base by the way?

    Good question whether a plant eater will also become a meat eater in a zombie-state, I guess we'll never know for sure 😁.

  4. To me looks like those zombie viruses turn you into a cannibal no matter what, so that poor chap might be hunting its fellow living comrades.

    Still, in old Z flicks, the usual encounter is finding them devouring just raw meat (insects, animals...)

    I love how the innards lean to magenta instead of red, opposing vividly against its dry grey skin.
