Out of Belgium comes Jiver Miniatures (http://www.jiverminiatures.com/) with owner/sculptor Jimmy Verbeeck producing some great figures from both movie and fantasy sources.  The really nice thing about these figures is that are very well done and for a very reasonable price.  The this review is the Dead John, a 1/10 scale zombie on a base.  It can be ordered directly from the Jiver web site listed above.

Cleanup was a breeze, as the pieces were perfectly cast with just a hint of a molding line that took less than a couple of minutes to remove.  The pieces were primed with Floquil and then base coated in acrylic.

Dead John was done with as series of washes and pastels and the eyes given a nice cat-like yellow cast that is entirely appropriate for zombies.  The base was coated gray and then washed and dry brushed for a stone effect.  A coat of flat, and then clear gloss for the eyes and we’re done.

This piece is great and there are two more Jiver Miniatures pieces being reviewed by Steve Dottavio.  I really recommend these to anyone interested in figures, especially Sci-Fi and Fantasy or anyone who wants to get started in figures and not spend a huge amount of dollars on kits.
