YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!
post apocalyptic cospaly
so while researching for my zombie hunter con costume i fell in love with post apocalyptic cosplay. everything from fallout props to original works. it's just such a cool look and you can do anything with it. it requires little money if you know how to scavenge and helps prepare all of us for what it's gonna be like after they rise. i felt wickedzombies was a good place to bring this to help expand the site. so with all that in mind I'm going to be posting cool stuff i make and design here. and if you catch the bug or maybe if you already have it then i welcome you to post your stuff here too.

its been a while since i last posted but i haven't been slacking off. while lurking around the replica prop forum for new ideas i came across this sweet build for a rocket launcher from league of legends.
now obviously this is way to fantasy to be zombie themed as is. but i loved the idea of the shark mouth opening over the barrel and i thought i could replicate that head in pa fashion out of some cut and bent sheet metal with a world war 2 shark face paint job like they use to do on fighter planes. i have an old Nerf rocket launcher from when i was a kid sitting around gathering dust somewhere. with a few PVC modifications it could make a convincing haphazardly thrown together launcher. but i dont want to just make just a crappier copy of this prop. and i wanted their to be a reason for the sharks head to be on the launcher. then it came to me! what if the mouth opened to reveal an RPG 7 style war head.
pretty sweet right. the jaws will act as protection for the warhead. which thanks to some early research i did can be replicated fairly easily out of some sparkling water bottles. the Nerf launcher as a long mechanical trigger on it. so i figure i can use that to hock a cable up to ope the jaws when you pull the trigger. how cool is that. weather if up to shit and you have a fine Jerry rigged instrument of blowing the holy fuck out of anything that moves and several things that dont. that would make any sadistic raiders s&m fetish wearing ass proud.

This is pretty bad ass...It wouldn't take much to modify the thing to let it be used for zombie killin...Specially if you use a zombie head on the front of it and the rocket comes out of its mouth...(LOL)

Well, talking about Co-play, I just found out I'll be doing a lot of that from the last weekend of Sept. to the last weekend of Oct...My brother-in-law has gotten me a job with this areas most famous and scariest haunted trail...Granted I'll be in the role of a horde of zombies, but with a few of my ideas, which the people liked, I might end up with a perminant gig for Halloween....
Zombie role playing...(LOL) Once it gets closer to time, I'll post some pics of the make-up...Just figured I would let everyone know a little good news for a change...(L)

I'm hoping that once I make this one suggestion, that they'll go for it....I think it would be cool as shit...Specially if they can make some neck pieces so that, I could be like a survivor that leads them through this little area and just as we reached the end, one of the other zombies attack me and take a chuck out of my neck...
That would scare the shit out of people so bad....(LOL) Specially if I show up like near the end of the trail turned...(LOL)
That would be cool as hell...

That would be awesome but I gotta say as a guy who was trying to be director for awhile I can tell you thats a hard practical effect to do. Most times they do a two shot from the actor getting attacked to after the bite. Because getting that flesh tearing off and making it look convinsing is hard. But in person inthe dark if your a few feet away It might work.

that would be awesome to see. if you can pull it off Jessie. go for it. and dont forget to post the video or stills. thats a must see.

Make-up and costume fittings are in August along with try-outs...But according to my Brother-in-Law I'm pretty much a shoe in in the zombie area because of my knowledge of zombies from movies, books, TV and even studying everything I can from the net...And depending on how they want me to do it, I can do it...Whether it be the 28 Days Later to the Godfather's George A. Romero's walk, I can do it...As long as I don't have to run to damn far as a 28 Days Later...
Still haven't fully stopped smoking, but I have cut way back thanks to the Eco-T electronic cigarette...Still get winded, but I can run further and almost last as long as my 9 year old does when we're wrestling around...(LOL) But he's like the damn energizer bunny, he wants to keep going and going and going...Little shit...(LOL)
We'll see what happens...Hell it doesn't sound like a whole hell of a lot, but making $300.00 bucks for just scaring the shit out of people in the woods is good...(LOL) Granted it's every weekend through October, which means I'm hoping to be catching the late night showing of The Walking Dead...Though 330 bucks doesn't sound like a whole hell of a lot money for about 2 weeks of, (I guess you would call it work), scarying the shit out of people, but hey, it's $300 bucks I didn't have and with Christmas being right around the corner at that time, hell I won't have to worry to much about paying bills and not having enough money for the kids chirstmas...
(LOL) That's just the way I'm looking at this...And hey, if I do a great job, maybe I'll become the Head ZOmbie....(ROFLMAO)

As for Pics, I'll post them up...

lol. you have what it takes to be a head zombie bro. big, round and shiney. lmao!!! but on a serious note. your right. not many get to scare the shit out of people and get paid to do it. so definitely go for it. but go the route of the zombie godfather. the original shambler. that way you can prolong the fun and not have to rush through it. and anyway, if you croak of a corinary being a runner. who are we gonna put the pink toga on for the big UTF contest? LMAO!!!!!

Been Awhile, BUt I'm still Alive
Greetings Everyone, Well it's been awhile. As things go, life carries us all in different directions from time to time but you always find your way home sooner or later. Well, life ain't all fun and games, but right now, things are going good. I have restarted my writing on my book again, and as I learn more about about some of the ROle-playing games I have gotten into, I am seriously thinking about rying to create an actual Zombie Survival Role-playing game. But have not set any time…
