A chicka interpretation of The Walking Dead

http://www.mcfarlanetoysstore.com/mirestwadeha.html

Being an avid TWD (The Walking Dead, if you don't know what it is, shame on you!) fan, I was disappointed for missing out on this awesome Michonne collectible statue so I decided to make my own Chicka version.

 Start with a wire armature. Yeah, something like this.

Wrap with florist tape.

Make the zombie. A touch of entrails is a good thing. BTW, did you see the TWD comic issue where a zombie's entrails got caught and he was snapped back like a bungee cord? That was awesome!

And this is my Chicka interpretation of Michonne.

Zombie head. Looks more like alien at this stage. But every head goes through an alien stage. Yes, even zombie heads.

 Attach head with a splatter of red isomalt blood.

Make the shoes. Yeah yeah, I know Michonne wears leather boots but my Chickas wear floral Docs, so floral Docs it is!

JUST LOOK AT THE FLOWERS!! Handpainted with a 0000-size Winsor & Newton round tipped brush, using Americolor airbrush paint (edible, of course!) and with the aid of a pair of very cool-looking magnifying goggles, so cool that hubby thought I should wear them to work.... yeah, righto hun!

 More painting. Bigger brush this time.

Waiting for things to dry..... patience is not my greatest virtue!

 Dreadlocks really tried my patience but here she is, finally finished..... phew!

Eew!! I stepped in dog poo! OMG how disgusting!!

Gotta love miniatures

Minus-1, forgot to turn on heater, wondered why my fingers are frozen! Nevertheless, managed to make this 1-inch miniature Docs!
