I got this idea Monday on the way to work and had to write it down. Turns out I have 8 broken or flawed repro MARX CW Stretcher Bearers.

Shades of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone episode about the house of dead Civil War soldiers (The Passersby) combined with his Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.

I really like that episode of Twilight Zone. James Gregory was great before he went on to be a comic character on Barney Miller. THOSE dead/undead characters were sad rather than scarey.

"undead Confederates"??? Nice conversion and painting, but dudde, I think the 1960's were a little rough on you

Yep..I do something fun and there's something wrong with me.

Nice idea, the same could be used as the walking wounded coming off the battlefield. These would be great as the return of Pickett's Charge.

POWS as well.

Wow! great execution! That pose really fits the shambling, slumped "zombie walk" perfectly! What did you use to do the shadowing with?

I painted them really dark gray and dry brushed lighter colors. Details and touch ups to finish up.

Awesome!!! Somebody pass me a shotgun!

Did you get those from CTS? I know they have good deals on some of their slightly miscast figures sometimes. I got a big bag for pretty cheap a few years ago.

The Hobby Bunker in Malden, Mass. and The Toy Soldier Company in New York. CTS is a good source as well.
