Cyrus Peabody etc


Cyrus Peabody, factory owner, scientist, probably insane but in Newhaven who's to judge...

Resigned his position at the University when his parents left him the factory. This allowed him more leeway to indulge his hobby/life work of making money from dubious military contracts. Said contracts usually involved working with dead (sometimes nearly or soon-to-be dead) bodies. Lab in the house, storage in the factory.

Likes collecting old books, usually of a supenatural nature. Has a dedicated library elsewhere in the house. Likes blue. All furnishings provided by Frontline Wargaming and have just recently been painted!

Peabody and other newly painted Last Night on Earth figures.

Also assembled and painted some of the Project Z figures. The right arm of the chainsaw guy didn't go quite right.

The two zombies have been painted to match some of the other figures. It also gives a good size comparison between Last Night, Zombie Z and cheapie architectural figures. Thinking about it, that nurse archetectural  figure would make a good zombie as well. Several manufacturers have produced mounted/dissmounted versions of cavalry figures; don't know of anyone who has produced a set  of civilian/survivor/zombie versions of figures.

 So between Olive Street and Peasbody the scene is set for something.

  1. The first sentences were really funny. :) I must put in my pulp city such a guy.

    1. Yet, with minor variations, pretty much sums at least one character in 90% of pulp/horror stories and films.

  2. I've sometimes wished my arm was more mobile when fielding a chainsaw. (On trees I hasten to add). I love all the extra bits and the building movie feel, not that I have the urge or imagination to do my own, happy just to watch.

    1. I tend to use a chainsaw on a regular basis - even did the three day course a long (long) time ago. If there's one thing it's taught me is that I would NOT want to use one as a weapon. Too uncontrolled - possible snagging, kick back, even the possibility of the chain deciding to separate from the rest of the saw. On the other hand, they do look good in zombie movies so...
