Hammerstein NWC Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post this - wasn't sure. This was designed as a newspaper atricle. Please accept my apologies if any of the details are just plain wrong, but I am a brit. Learning what I did about the US political system was quite interesting, the History about Abe Lincoln and the political parties was also quite new to me... I didn't realise he was a vampire hunter so I don't suppose it matters if in the future he is a zombie... I wrote a whole timeline thing about how zombies were able to think and such but I don't imagine that it would add much to the MOC... :) Description follows. November 8th 2065 PRESIDENT RE-ELECTED! By Roving reporter R. Hauge The American people have spoken! Commentators are crediting the recent landmark decision to give the Undead the vote for an unprecedented turnout of voters both new and old. The Republicans have been accused of leaving no stone unturned to "dig up" a winning candidate. It was thought that outgoing President Malia-Ann Obama (who many credit with averting the undead apocalypse with her policies of inclusion and pro unlife) would be unassailable as she seemed to have secured the "underground" vote. But in a masterstroke bringing back the Republicans most popular ex president, has led to the Undead switching their allegiance to "Old Abe". With some Political Pundits declaring Obama's career dead and buried, but at time of going to press She was unavailable for comment. It is understood however that she believes the massive undead turnout may have affected attendance by the living at voting stations. Our new President is looking forward to meeting with the governments think tank, he was keen to endorse recently reconstituted Vice President JFK.The President intends to abolish the zombie Slavery laws still prevalent in the South and is urgently looking a the nationwide rationing legislation. Living on Dead and Dead on living violence will also be dealt with in much stricter terms. Many have requested the reinstatement of the death and re-death penalty. America is waking up to a new dawn... (edited to sort out some grammatical and cut and paste errors :) ). Quote

I did notice a girl in the middle of all of the zombies, kind of freaking out. Made me laugh. Great MOC! ~Puck ;) It's my birthday on thatdate too!! :) I noticed from research that the President can often be named around then so thought hey why not make it personal. :) Edited July 4, 2012 by Hammerstein NWC Quote
Laura Beinbrech Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 This MOC brought me a good, hearty laugh. Who'd a thunk of actually living WITH the zombies in a peaceful coexistence. Quote
RaincloudDustbin Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Fab lil build there! I really like the Abe minifig! Quote
The Joker1 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Great work. You sure have a lot of zombie heads Quote
AwesomeNostalgia Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I love that you included a zombie Mexican in this Quote
Creator Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 That's an interesting MOC, I like it! I recognize many custom made torso's and heads from Citizen Brick. Well done. Quote
The Blue Brick Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Very funny. I especially laughed at the Abe Lincoln figure. Those custom arms are so cool too. Quote
Si-MOCs Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 The build is great, but what really got me was the story. Inspired. The little cliques and tongue in cheek jokes were perfect! Really well done ... Do I dare ask how you posed your arms? did you just shove the arm into the socket? Quote
Hammerstein NWC Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks Guys for all the positive feedback! Si - Im glad you enjoyed the jokes! I tried to make it funny and hoped people would pick up on some of the little things I put in the story. I tried to imagine a world were Zombies weren't just a pest and where the liberal minded people would try to integrate them into society regardless of the obvious dangers. The arms are aftermarket parts called Crazy arms! V&A Steamworks (Guy) from Flickr makes them. They are literally my favorite "custom" piece out there! Quote
Solscud007 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 The zombie holding the xray. What torso is that from? Quote
Hammerstein NWC Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 The zombie holding the xray. What torso is that from? It's a custom from citizen brick called "zombie food" :) Quote
