Nice detail!
Okay, this is something that puzzles me. Why this geek fascination for zombies and the so-called "zombie apocalypse?" I mean there are people who prepare for this apocalypse by literally buying swords and other esoteric and exotic weaponry. (No, I bought my broadsword long before I heard of this, and it was strictly out of my interest in knights and things "medieval."). Then there are the "End of Days" and similarly themed customs popping out all over the 'Tank. Was this trend started by video games like "Resident Evil" or, earlier, by movies like "Evil Dead?" Could someone please explain? No offense to geeks, as I am one of you, though I really am puzzled by this whole zombie preoccupation. |

No offense to geeks, as I am one of you, though I really am puzzled by this whole zombie preoccupation. zombies and end of the world crap has always been my "love". i used to design bomb shelters on notebook paper when i was 9 or younger. i'm 36 and i guess, that kinda crap hasn't left us, or me anyway. zombies just rep the horde that coulda been upon us or still could or are. the z's are just a large metaphor for many many things in real life.....see shawn of the dead. anyway, it's always a good excuse to use a bunch of red paint and greenstuff! |

this didn't really start off as a zombie project. it was more of revenge. zombies of lore are not capable of brain thought to conceive such devices. what's more popular, zombies or VAMPIRES. vamps are way more prevalent in the walmart world.
