About the Project
This is a little tale of how Zombies became a favourite genre of mine and sparked a hobby project to honour the films and books that have influenced my tastes over the years. Project Cornetto began as an idea back in 2016 following the release of The Walking Dead All Out War and became a full scale terrain project finished in 2023.

Smaller layout.
I was saddened by putting everything away after the event. I decided to prop up a smaller zone in my gaming area to dip in an out of the longer campaign I intend to run as part of Fallen Kingdom. My friends are all keen too and many went out an eBay bought the walking dead game, even after I warned them it’s coming back and to be patient. But like me they are gamers and patiently waiting for the next cool game is not a thing. Buying all the game and never painting all of it is the gamer way. Here is another photo dump of some random shots around a more condensed Cornetto.
