Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 03/26/24 The Twisted Tower photo stage update
Post by: DeafNala on February 09, 2011, 05:19:45 PM
The Red Brotherhood is an UberGoblin (counts as Orcs) & Goblin War Band meant for the Mordheim setting...mostly.
On UberGoblins: UberGoblins don't start out very Uber at all. They are the product of a variety of Mad Cap Mushroom with an unusually high concentration of Funeroid. The side effects of this substance causes an increase in size & muscle mass along with a noticeable decrease in common sense...a rare quality in Night Goblins at best.
Whereas Orcs generally choose leaders who are great, hulking, muscle bound psychopaths, Night Goblins choose UberGoblin leaders who are cunning, sneaky, drug crazed, muscle bound psychopaths. (in the background Gracey Slick wails out White Rabbit)

AND NOW, in no particular order, THE RED BROTHERHOOD:

Head Honcho, The Grand Poobah & Guiding Light, Wastrel McWhack:

Great job! You can tell they have no comman sense because they bothered to learn Latin.  How have they done in your battles?  I would imagine them being very eratic.

Thanks, Amigo!
As far as their prowess on the bloody streets of Mordheim, it was long stretches of ASTONISHING MEDIOCRITY with rare moments of AMAZING BRILLIANCE. Regardless of how they fared, they were a joy to play & provided continuous entertainment for all involved. You really need a strong sense of the absurd to truly enjoy playing a Night Goblin War Band...congenital idiocy helps.

I'll continue to wade through the 130+photos that Amigo Edwin took until I have all the Lads posted.

i like those goblins, their faces are much better than the ork versions! :)


maybe you should take a bit less close pictures, because the macro at this distance has the undesired effect to evidence every detail... also the unwanted ones!

Bloody-minded tenacity - 1st place
Goblin-inspired lunacy - 1st place

Absolutely love the names and character you've given these gobbos and I especially like the snotling tied to the squig herders prod! Inspired me to find a similar littler blighter to strap to the back of one of my archer's shields!  :D

Post by: DeafNala on February 09, 2011, 09:24:53 PM
Thanks, Guys!
@Sangennaru: I agree that the images are just too large. You really can't expect a mini blown up to that size to look as good as it does in real life...unless you boast a far greater talent than moi. All things considered, I was pleased with how well the faces look. My friend Edwin may have gotten a tad carried away when he took the photos.

@Thantsants: Bait comes attached to the Squig Prodder of the old metal Squig Herder...I consider it one of Citadel's nicer details.
In an old White Dwarf, Gav Thorpe was saying that the Beastmen were like ancient Germans, & the Orcs were Scots. SO I reasoned that if the Orcs were Scots, the Goblins must be Irish. I tried to make the names sound like a derogatory form of Irish names. As a Fellow Fan of Goblin silliness, I was hoping you'd like the Lads.

Lovely warband and they're so numerous! I tried a Night Goblin warband for Coreheim once (an adapted version of Mordheim) but I never painted a single figure, and yours have much more character. Well done!

Thanks for the kind words, Pil!
I'm familiar with Coreheim. Asp (the Guy who wrote them) was for a time a member of Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum where I'm one of the Mods. They seem to be a good alternate set of rules.
There's one mini left to be photographed & one I left out. There are so many of them partly due to a high attrition rate & mostly because I love painting Goblins of all sorts.

Can't have too many Gobbos!

Currently assembling a bit of a warband too - old citadel stuff of course...  ;)

You are a Man after my own heart...the only amount of Goblins a man can have is not enough. I have quite a stockpile of the type pictured here; PLUS there is a shop in distant Beaumont, Book Stan II, that is a TREASURE TROVE of old Citadel minis...they even have Gorkamorka. Old Captain John & I are hoping to make a Spring Pilgrimage.

Hi DeafNala, somehow I missed this post. Lovely painting as usual, I really like the bases and the mushrooms, did you use green stuff? Some great concepts here

Post by: DeafNala on February 10, 2011, 02:59:04 AM
Thanks, Damien! I'm glad you like the little Rogues.
I use Plumbers Epoxy for the bases, most of my mushrooms, scrolls, et al; it's similar to Milliput. The little mushrooms on some of the bases are the plastic one's that came with the 6th Edidtion G.W. Night Goblins.

Nice!

I joined a Mordheim league and painted up a bunch of my OOP Ork and Goblin figs as my gang.  The end result people demanded I paint all 150 plus unpainted goblins...  We only played Mordheim once or twice.  Perhaps if I hosted...  Anyway I'm sorta gaming group less, don't have a big and nice enough place to host, and apparently I have to start thinking Lead Painter League style...  Not sure I like the super super golbins but I like the idea of an O&G warband.  New O&G models previewed today on GW's website.

Gotta run and get offline...

Great goblins! Usually not a fan of lettered bases, but you've done a very good job on yours! Like the painting style too - don't know how, but it makes these newfangled minis look retrolicious! Well done!

Thanks for the kind words, Guys!

@Muskie: I can identify with the "grouplessness". It seems all the minis I've done for the last couple of decades have been for Folks other than myself to game with, but, since I feel that every Toy Soldier has the inalienable right to be played with, I guess this is okay...mostly.

@phreedh: I mostly did the lettered bases because I couldn't remember the names...another case ofimminent senility.
I LOVE the 6th Edition Goblins...esspecially the Night Goblins; they're such merry looking psycopaths. They look like rejects from Tim Burton's Labyrinth.

@spevna: these photos are for you. Mad Maxx's Marvelous Mechanical Ogre (a Rackham mini) was going to be my "counts as" Ogre Hired Sword...I never accumulated enough loot to hire him.

The Dread(ful) Highwayman, Dick Turnip, & his (Ig)Noble Mount, Night Train:

Thanks, Guys. Positive feedback is always a motivating factor with moi...at my age motivation is sometimes hard to come by.

Dick Turnip is the kind of figure that you game with and never want to die.  It has alot of character.
I've noticed that new units, well done minis, & minis with cool names are all DOOMED...it has something to do with poetic justice.

I love anything Goblin related and this was some of the best I've seen.  :D

Goblins are definitely my favorite minis; they appeal to my sense of the absurd & underlying silly nature. Being the ultimate underdogs is also a positive with moi. I have more of the Little Buggers posted around this section.

A bit of morale boosting never gets old, Amigo. I think I posted it while you were occupied elsewhere.
With the Goblins adding little things to put them into non-traditional professions is one of those things I really enjoy doing...I've done a bunch of inappropriate Goblins with more underway. The "Dick Turnip" nom de Goblin is a take off on the infamous Highwayman, Dick Turpin...as opposed to the silent film comedian, Ben Turpin.

Group shot!

I'm trying to convince Edwin, who has the minis & is doing the photography, to take a Group Portrait for posterity & the "Wanted Dead or Whatever" posters...so far he's ignoring me.

Faboulous! I prefer your green skin colour over the tan one, but otherwise these are just as awesome! I love the orange ogre and the nose on mr. Stump. I also love the rest of the little buggers of course!

Thanks, Pil. I'm still experimenting with the skin tones. When I first got into Fantasy it was with T.S.R's D&D; Goblins were a burnt orange back then. White Dwarf exposure turned the Little Rogues green. SO I was tending to a retro look for the above ground Goblin types & a sand colored, albino look for the subterranean Lads; getting some reaction will probably determine which way I go...I'm SO easily influenced...sometimes.

It makes the models look so much better and interesting  :)

The tree is fantastic btw !

Thanks for the feedback, Anatoli...I value your opinion. I'm torn between the various skin tone options; while I like the sand & burnt orange look, I've been doing the Goblins in green for so long it seems strange to be doing them differently...plus I rather like how the green turns out. Being indecisive can be SO annoying...most times.


Here's an example of the burnt orange:

Hello DeafNala, I really like the skin tones on your goblins, personally I like an army of goblins with different skin tones. The tree man is awesome  :o, where is he from? He is painted really well, especially his face. The hobgoblin is ace, I like the skin tone but really like his shield (did the mini come with that shield?).

Thanks, Damien. The idea of various skin tones is reminiscent of Rackham's approach...I really  like the idea.
The Tree/Stump Guy is one of my Spooky Woodland Folk. He's a floral foam cone got wild; he does have an endearing smile & a noble nose...kind of.
The Hobgoblin's shield is one of the one's that come with G.W's plastic Goblins. The wicker shield fit with my image of the Hobgoblins & their Chaos Dwarf employers.

Mr Stump is indeed fantastic! Lovely colouring on the nose and eyes!

The cheeky chap peering out from behind the ogre is another nice touch!  lol

Orange does seem kind of right for hobgobbos - got a couple of that tone myself.

Its a nice idea having different skin tones but I found it a bit time consuming when I tried it for one of my LPL entries.

Excellent work as always my friend!  :D

I can see where the varied skin tones would be time consuming to the point of impracticability...that's what probably appeals to moi. The Goblins offer a silly counterpoint to more serious minis...this also appeals to moi as a basically impractical, silly Old Man.

The Goblins are Dragon Rune minis available from Armorcast:
http://armorcast.com/store/index.php?cPath=116_125_131
AND the trunk of the tree is a pecan tree branch. I live in the middle of a pecan tree grove; periodically they bombard the Folk on the ground with nuts & branches of various lengths...pecan trees have attitude issues.

One of the Guys over on Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum uses floedebolle as his Forum name; since I got the inspiration for the faces from a piece he's working on, I figured I'd give him credit by naming the first of The Trees after him...the Father of Invention so to speak. I have no idea if it does or was meant to mean anything, but it does sound cool.
As a side note, I had a rather rotund warrior for Mordheim who I named Karl Von Kummerspeck; kummerspeck is, I believe, a German expression for weight gained due to emotional distress. The literal translation is "grief bacon"...seemed appropriate.

I thought it was about time that I left some feedback for your Uber Goblins etc on here.
Having been an avid follower of many of your projects on TBMF, I guess it kinda slipped my mind to comment. Mentally I had already commented many times on how great it all is!

I love your furtile imagination :o :o and your sense of humour. lol lol lol
You are a nutter, Deafnala!
(Those LOVELY trees prove it!)
In the nicest possible way, of course. ;)

Dont know if you have already posted it on here, but saw it on Tom's, I think the guys here should see that underground cavern set-up with mushrooms that you had been working on last time I checked.
Sure they would love it.

Thanks again for all the kind & encouraging words, Guys. Each piece I finish stimulates further ideas. Thingys like Homegrown Squig-like Beasties & The Magic Circle of Petrified Trees, aka Stoned Hedge, are looming on the horizon...well actually, over in the corner of The Room.

Love the wood. Now, get a proper table done for those beauties!  >:D  ;)

(I suspect the 'foam' beneath them are going to be transformed into something more befitting..??)

The basic table is complete & awaiting the Thingies from HELL!...mostly. It's a hexagon shaped monster some 6' across that's set up for Geo-Hex tiles The surface is done with a water effect so that uncovered sections will look like streams ponds & such. I've got plans for custom tiles, islands & such.

This is The Beast in an early W.I.P. stage:

AND with the water effect done:

I'll post some W.I.P. photos of The Goblin City soon.

That is AMAZING water effect you have there, Deafnala! :o :o :o

How did you get that effect?

Post by: DeafNala on August 23, 2011, 04:58:40 PM
Thanks, Mason!
I wish I could be more precise, but the water effect was a combination of serendipitous accidents, Divine Intervention, & a generous dollop of bloody-minded tenacity on my part. The first step was Captain John pouring the crack filler (that jug on the table) over the painted blue table top; this worked out okay...the filler dried a dark transparent blue with a slight ripple effect.
He then found he couldn't get anymore without making a very expensive special order; SO we opted for polyurethane for the next couple of layers. This would have worked out if applied properly...thus destroying the story, but preserving the table & some of my sanity. However, ignoring both instructions & [my] reservations, he poured a thick layer of the polyurethane, which dried in a crazy quilt design of irregular lumps & intervening depressions with sections of translucent chunks....he attempted a fix on this by pouring a second thick layer.
At this stage, partially to avoid violence, I was allowed to try my hand at the remedy. I painted the Beasty with a transparent blue glaze & sponged on a half dozen coats of the poly. By itself my method would not have made quite as dramatic an effect as the joint effort.
As a side note: it actually does look better in real life...it has a sparkling reflective quality to it that the photo does not capture.

That forest's simply one of the most characterful set of scenery I've ever seen.  The skill and imagination of LAFers never ceases to astound me.  Looks like it'd be a real blast to push minis through.

Post by: DeafNala on August 24, 2011, 01:29:33 PM
Thanks for the very kind words. It's a pleasant surprise getting such a good reaction to my Little Horrors...I'm almost humbled by the experience.

@Andrew: I'm rather poor at explaining the "how-tos" of the things I make; HOWEVER, I'll give it a try. If/when I say something you don't quite get, just mention it & I'll give it a better try.
For the Mushrooms, I have a mini tutorial here:
http://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/t4674p100-maudeheim-environs-updated-8-2211
It's in two parts as my "just sculpt the face" seemed rather vague to one of the Guys reading it; so a further explanation was necessary.
The Living Trees; i.e.the ones with foliage, are mostly made from Raffia covered florist wire twisted into a spiral with the heavier branches twisted out from the main trunk.
The smaller branches are regular unwrapped florists wire (22gauge) thats wrapped around the thicker branches & twisted together & into shapes.
The trunk & main branches are covered in plumber's epoxy (similar to Milliput) & the bark is sculpted.
The smaller branches are covered in hot glue that's teased form a rough irregular surface.
The Spooky Trees are made from Pecan & Live Oak branches, twigs, & bark. Branches are made as the smaller branches above, & glued into pre-drilled holes prior to painting.

This one is Live Oak Bark:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN0032.jpg)

This one is Pecan:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN0097.jpg)

I do submerged roots from tease hot glue radiating out from the trunks to add interest to the bases & stability to the trees:

I hope that makes some sense to you.

These woods are great! I love the mass of the trees and the bark texture. I have a dark woods project that's been in the planning stages for many months, and I think I'll have everything I need to get started in Sept. Seeing these makes me want to get to it that much more!

Thanks again, Guys! I'm glad the explanation made sense...making sense become more difficult with age.
Giving you a bit of motivation, Spooktalker, is a plus for moi.
AND I too am a pecan pie fancier. With the drought here this year, the trees are dropping their nuts early; so no pies & the prospect of a bad Winter for our squirrels. The premature nuts do, however, make interesting, body snatcher style pods...nothing goes to waste.

To be truthful, the answer is "yes" on both counts. While Texas might not be considered the most bizarre of places, I live in a grove of TRULY SPOOKY Pecan Trees & purportedly Live Oaks. What goes on in my head would probably give Tim Burton a case of the Deep Purple Horrors...I try to avoid all contact with me, but wherever I go; there I am.

These are really, really fine.  :-*  The texture of the trees and having the way the faces are blended in color-wise really nail it. I'm reminded of all those blanche pics and where the landscape is alive. And I was just looking at the box art of the Grenadier Woodland Adventurers set from 1980 too and there are faces in trees in that art. Lots of history coming alive on your tabletop!  :-*

Thanks for all the kind words, Guys. All the positive commentary is very motivating for moi...gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning or whenever.

@Thantsants: I find that the white on black primer show off the minis/scenery nicely. I only mentioned that they were primed to forestall the inevitable comment about not caring for mono color scheme & the ensuing explanation of only being a primer coat...of course, I just did the forestalling & explaining anyway.

Things are rapidly evolving in the Fungi contingent of the Spooky Woods...

WOW!!!  :o

WOW indeed! I Thanks is a pale wale of expressing the gratitude I owe you all for the inspiring encouragement I've received. I am most appreciative & humbled...more or less on the humble part.

Lot's of character to all this stuff - you could easily make a 'Fantasy Forest' terrain/mini line - my kids would love trolls, midgets, trees, fungi, leprechauns, whatever in this style  :)

My friend Tom's Grandson loves the stuff also. I think it has something to do with the cartoony style & it seems that as I get older I draw closer to the boy I was...to be honest my inner child has remained micro-millimeters below the surface for most all of my life.

An explanation of where I'm going with this probably is justified by the response. Actually it is a developing idea of taking all the aspects of the genre I've come to love & combining them into a whole picture. This involves elements of Fantasy, Horror, & an absurd view of life in general.
Inspiration is drawn from so many things that it is impossible to pinpoint one particular source; Jim Hensen, Tim Burton, Groucho Marx, Terry Pratchett, Mark Twain, & Bugs Bunny figure large in the Beasty...they have my apologies. From my gaming, Mordheim seems to be the most influential, although I've only made scenery for other Folk & played it solo.

A Renaissance Post Apocalypse Village, The Court of The Goblin King ala Labyrinth will figure into the equation. Since this is most certainly my "Last Hurrah" Project, rather than spreading all the different elements about the section, I'll keep them all here so you'll be able to check them out or ,if you are of discerning tastes, avoid them.

The next thingies to be seen will be W.I.P. shots of The Court & some Inhabitants of the Not-Necessarily-Goblin Variety.

Thanks, Thantsants! The central tower is actually a very large Mushroom (about 30" high). It was part of a Mushroom Forest...the rest of the forest wound up going to one of the Guys I did Mordheim scenery for. This is what it looked like before I added the clinging structures:

Thanks, Guys!
Prof: Roxie & Hairy Harry are Ral Partha minis from their Tavern Pack (a bouncer & another serving wench are/were included). Ildy is a Bronze Age mini. The other unidentified pieces: Fast Flo is a Reaper & Rosie is a Bronze Age. All the Bronze Age Babes are from the same pack.

Compo Heep is a Beaumont mini & Felstiff is a Ginfritter Gnomish Workshop creation.
Johann Ringo is a kit-bash: his head & arms are extra pieces from a Heresy Dwarf Adventurer (Bwana's double barreled gun came from the same mini), his torso & boots are G.W. Empire Militia, & his hips/upper legs are G.W. plastic Goblin.

I have never commented on this thread before, and I have to say, that the staff at 'Fast Flos' are brilliant.

The painted adventurers are very nice but the living forest is fantastic!  :-* :-* :-*

I can't really say enough about it I guess, the faces are perfect and the who;le atmosphere is awesome, reminds me very much of all the living trees Ian Miller used to draw, fabulous!

That site by Dirk Opper is great too!

Great stuff, Deafnala!

Seeing the individual pieces is great, but seeing them all together, they look magnificent!

The eye peering out of the centre piece is great! Really spooky!

Cant wait to see the 'Witches Digs', sounds very intriuging and very promising, cant wait to see what you come up with.........

Thanks MUCHO for the kind commentary, Guys. With Baseball Season coming to a close I have a feeling The Project will be picking up speed. It's slowly taking over my life...such as it is.

I think the purple candles just took it to another level!  lol

Man that is great!

I had a Witch/Wiccan friend. She was partial to purple candles for her witchy-works. She said the color didn't really matter, but purple was sexier...ergo, purple candles are in vogue.

BLAM!

Did you hear that?  It's the sound of my head exploding.

CRASH!!

Did you hear that?  It's the sound of my jaw hitting the floor.

Seriously, dude, you just blew my mind.  This is exactly the sort of project that I've always wanted to do, to attempt, but that I've never even come close to doing (at most, I've gotten a handful of figures painted, a terrain piece or two started, and a few more figures purchased, then left in the packaging...).

Truly inspirational.

Thank you for posting the pictures - please - continue to add more!

This REALLY is proving to be addictive. Be that as it may, here are three more reason to believe I severed the last of my tenuous hold on Reality:

I'm not all that sure what the Little Beasty in the center is, but he was fun to make up. His larges Flora Friends aren't thrilled with the way the neighborhood is going:

Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to take any ideas that you enjoy; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery or so I'm told. That aside, if my stuff gives you the motivation to create your own pieces, then my posts will have served a higher purpose...I hope you have as much fun with the Beasty as I'm having.

Well then, let me pick you brain a little...

I can tell the main trees look to be made from real sections of branches and cork bark. I'm guessing the branches are wire, steel wool, and glue?

I'm definitely going to give these a try myself!

I've been using Pecan branches & Live Oak bark; the Oaks shed their bark periodically. For the "living trees I used raffia covered flora wire from a company called Naturally Wired; this I then coat with plumber's epoxy & sculpt it into rough texture.
The branches & roots are various gauge foral wire, coated & uncoated, that I cover with hot glue. While the glue is still more ore less fluid, I tease it into a rough finish. With the roots it isn't always necessary to do an armature of wire; just build it up with several layers of glue.
The Pecans, in addition to dropping their branches, also bombard me with nuts that make interesting, Body Snatcher style pods.

Perfect!

I'll get my shopping list together. I live near a national forest and will plan a little hike, game terrain expedition for small branches, bark segments and other fun little shapes I can find. I'll be finishing up a warband shortly, and have always wanted to do a fantasy forest. Between your great designs and those I found in the Mordheim section of Iron Hands website, I should be able to create a really over the top fantasy forest.

Glad to be of some help. I get my floral wire, among other things, from Michael's (I think Hobby Lobby carries it also); the Plumber's Epoxy is from True Value & Ace Hardware.

Thanks for the link. That is one UBERSPOOKY Forest. I really like the Bearded Tree Guy; that's an idea that I will unashamedly steal. If you haven't wander over to it yet, Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum is another fine source of inspiration & how-to advice:

This isn't really much of an update, but we do the best we can.
The Little Beasty has been finished. For some reason or other he reminds moi of George Washington; combining that with a nod to the comedian George Gobbel, he's now Lonesome George:

Thanks for the enthusiastic response; you've amped my motivation immeasurably.
This isn't the final set up, but it gives you & I an idea how everything will fit together. One possibility is the "long & winding road" plan; i.e., a series of boards maybe 16" or 18" deep & very long to represent a trading trail through the eerie terrain with a few wider boards as destinations...things like a village, inn, etc..

Thanks once more for all the positive feedback.
On the ultimate setting, I've been thinking of a lone narrow series of boards liking areas of interest like The Stoned Hedge, the Witches' Digs, etc. or perhaps a series of islets connected by narrow bridges that would work with the water board...this could also lead to a Bog of Eternal Stench style setting.

Thanks, dijit! My Amigo, Edwin, also posted that Oh-So-Cool video over on the Death squad Forum. Now I've got Fuzzy Goblin ideas whirling through my cluttered Old Mind...it helps rid the place of all those cobwebs.

Wow, didn't have time to read all of it but the forest is amazing! It's so large and fantastical, I love it!  :-*

Maybe I should do a similar forest to complement my undead, though of course it would have to be much darker and more evil, like those old twisted Ian Miller forests 8)

Though I don't have the time at the moment 8)

Thanks for the positive feedback, Pil! Not having time for your own projects is one of the prices of a successful commission business. While it can be frustrating not being able to do your thing, all that practice your getting will pay dividends when time permits some more creative works. Trust me on this...my present project is an example of long years of self denial.

Thank you all for your WONDERFUL comments. The hardest part now will be to live up to all your kind words.

Today I started working on the boards for the forest & circle...just some prepping so far. A Witch's hut should be the next piece & work on a suitably strange tower. The faces, eyes, & other strange bits of green stuffing has proved to be so enjoyable that I will be carrying these elements through the entire project...some of the extra pieces may very well find their way to the mailboxes of some unsuspecting Forum Friends...BWAHAHAHAHA!

Compo Heep's Mushroom & Bat Poop Farm (in & around that cave in the group photo) is also in the works. Here's Compo Himself:

As a demonstration of the value of critiques, Mordheimer suggested I do a dry brush on the trees' foliage for contrast. SO...

Yet more goodness coming our way from the warped genius living in the mind of DeafNala!

Looking very good, sir.
Cant wait to see it finished.
That tree above the cave is already looking pretty menacing!

Regarding the contrasting drybrush; I always do a drybrush on foilage to create depth, but, to be honest, did not think that your trees needed it the way mine do.
Mine are supposed to be in a ruined, delapidated town, so contrast was a must to reflect the decay.
Your fantasy forest has a life and vibrancy all of its own, so I did not feel it was needed.
I think it looks good either way.

If you do I want to see them!!!

What colors did you use for the dry brushing? I have seen people airbrush colors on as well but thought I might give this a try.

Thanks for the kind words, Guys.

Regarding the contrasting drybrush; I always do a drybrush on foilage to create depth

I, likewise, normally dry brush all the flora. In this case I was initially being lazy. The difference between the two is much more dramatic in the flesh.

Thanks for taking the time to trawl the whole thread...it's becoming dauntingly large.

I'd love to see them also...speaking as a Goblin Guy that is.

An air brush probably would be the optimum way of tackling the beasty.
I used Americana Citron Green for the dry brush.

Having finished the mind numbingly tedious dry-brushing, I lost focus for awhile. As the fog lifted...kind of...I started doing some more Mushrooms & a group of minis. Here's what I have going thus far:

For some reason or other, these Mushroom Lads remind me of a group of Carolers:

While I always intend the minis & stuff I do for gaming, I don't often get to do the gaming part myself; most of my creatures wander off for use in other Folk's games. I have, however, come up with a set of patched together solo rules that I use occasionally.

I made some small progress on Heep's Place...added another cave. SO I figured I'd inflict them on you to keep the thread alive:

The "new" cave is on the right:

The plan is to have Heep's Establishment sprawled across the top & sides of the newer cave.

Thanks, Guys...glad you like it so far. I'll try to update Heep's Place by the weekend.

i must have missed the old cave, i like them both. pink construction foam? what did you use for glue?

It's easy to miss things in this thread...I know I do.
I used my glue gun on the small to medium sections of foam (mix of blue & pink); on the large pieces I used Liquid Nails Project Glue...it's okay for foam, although it takes quite awhile to dry.

While I'm at it, here's the latest Pumkinhead:

Looking forward to seeing where your wacky mind takes this one.....


I used my glue gun on the small to medium sections of foam (mix of blue & pink); on the large pieces I used Liquid Nails Project Glue...it's okay for foam, although it takes quite awhile to dry.

I use wood glue to stick mine, and pin it together with cocktail sticks while it is drying.
I just snap the bits that are sticking out off when it is dry, for added strength in the construction.

The negative came from my Amigo, Mordheimer; he just didn't like the slitty-eyes on the Pumpkinhead...different stroke or lack of taste, take your pick. Since Himself normally is a source of gushing praise, an occasional "yuck" comment is okay.

Wow, I just took a few quick looks through your stuff, and that forest is downright scary, in a good way.  I could imagine it giving kids a few nightmares!  lol

It screams of character, and I can tell lots of insight has gone into it.

Now, I will try and review the whole of your long, long thread later, but for us newcomers could you give us a quick rundown of the background storyline for Heep's place? (Or perhaps a link to the explanation that has since been lost in this thread)

The storyline is developing, but you got me thinking about how I will tie all this stuff together, & I think I may have come up with something cool...we see as thing develop. That aside, Compo Heep is the (in)famous owner, founder, & main source of labor for Heep's Bat poop Mine & Mushroom Distillery. Here's himself:

Thanks for the kind commentary, Mason.
Passing up Heep's Finest is probably a wise move; there's some debate as to whether or not all the bat byproducts find there way to providing nutrients for the mushrooms.
Dear Flo may not supply the "fun" herself these days; that task has fallen to her numerous, enthusiastic nieces...there are some photos of the Lasses floating around the thread somewhere.

It is looking great, DeafNala!

There is nothing quite like seeing a wip and trying to second guess what it will eventually look like.

Given that it you that I am trying to second guess here, I think my chances of being right are seriously slim!

Looking forward to the next update.....

this thread is an AMAZING report of a brilliant and crazy evil mind!  :-*
You are really creating something unique here Deafnala! It's a pleasure to look at your works. It's not so easy to offer you useful suggests, it seems that your creativity needs no suggests at all!  :o
Keep going mate!

Thanks MUCHO for your kind commentary, Guys. It's humbling...humility is a personal trait I'm most proud of.

Given that it you that I am trying to second guess here, I think my chances of being right are seriously slim!
It's not so easy to offer you useful suggests, it seems that your creativity needs no suggests at all!  :o

I draw heavily for inspiration from things I see posted here...especially the WONDERFUL things you two & phreedh post; SO you may all take credit for the better aspects of The Project...I'm not sure if this is a positive, but it was meant that way.

Was about to type DaftNala :)

I like that...it probably is a more apt description than my actual Nom de Forum.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT, between struggling (& procrastinating) about writing an article for Matakashi's Tea House (being asked to contribute to his WONDROUS site is rather like being asked to put on a show at M.o.M.A.: Metropolitan Museum of Art) & working on The Project, I've signed up for the Prisoner Exchange on Mordheimer's Death Squad. This entails painting a piece of 40Kish style to be shipped to another participant...& receiving one in the process.
I'm using this to work on some ideas I have for Heep's Tavern. SO here are some W.I.P. photos of the Beasty:

The Overview:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Rogues%20Gallery/DSCN0533.jpg)

The idea is to portray a Renegade leaving his favorite drinking establishment, Morbid Jest's Inn. Paraphrasing the Whiffenpoof Song, I'm calling the piece "To The Tables Down At Morbid"s".

As always Comments & Critiques would be most welcome...mostly.

Looking lovely, DeafNala!

That is a fantastic conversion, using some very eclectic parts (is that a very old , RT era, space marine ammo pack you have used?) along with a great base.

A great advert for the LAM heads too, I think you should get royalties from the Prof!  ;)

The Illustrious Guru of All Things Mushroom, Temerity O'Leery, & assistant, Obnoxious Buzz, have discovered a new species of Sentient  Mushroom, Oscarius Mysillium. The gregarious nature of the Oscarius was noted when recording the image of one a group formed around the initial subject...the late Obnoxious Buzz discovered their food preferences (providing his Master the opportunity for a quick escape).

And the Evidence:

Contrary to doctor's orders I thought I'd take another look at what you're up - more weird brilliance!

Nice work on your prisoner exchange piece and Heep's place is looking heap big great!

Love the Oscarius Mysilium - does the name have any significance?  :D

Love the Oscarius Mysilium - does the name have any significance?  :D

I never listen to doctors either. The Oscarius Mysillium came about as I thought the first one looked like the Sesame Street Muppet, Oscar the Grouch, & the Mysillium is a more accurate version of Mycelium, which refers to the mushroom cap...it was the best I could come up with at the time.

Are you sure you haven't been experimenting with mushrooms?  ;D

Well...not recently. Thank God for flashbacks.
BTW I LOVE your work in the Gothic Horror & Cthulhu Sections...WONDERFUL WORK!

I think Scary Mary and Dirty Harry have a certain ring - but Oozy Suzy has some definitely disturbing undertones!

She's a wonderfully weird mini - those Paul Muller sculpts are great and her better? half certainly is nasty looking! I can't wait to get stuck into painting some of his gribbly little Sea Demons.

Well seeing all this I felt inspired

Of red I see of unter and uber of under and over
Over here and under there
They see they are
The brotherhood

As I suck the sweet bitterness that is a buttercup I dream I see
Nay I understand
The brotherhood

All or nothing
Big or small
They are
They are the things of madness and despair

Ever lurking ever dreaming
I slip ever closer
Trees of madness take root

A smile a grin a distorted grimace
Visions abound driving me insane
As I go under and over
Ever over and under to the other side
And join the brotherhood.

Thank, Amigo...your comments are appreciated.

I hadn't thought about the similarity to my avatar...could be a subconscious thing. I picked that avatar because it resembled moi, although more reputable looking. Usually I use this one:

Thanks for the kind comment, Blackwolf. Initially what the various stuff reminded me of was Jim Henson's Labyrinth, maybe The Dark Crystal, & Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. Now the dark but innately silly pieces make me think more of Bugs Bunny with writers form Sin City chiming in.

Strange Aeons? I thought you were V.S.F. bound...you got to love Lovecraft though.

I had lost my miniature painting mojo a little after all those buildings and the sheer amount of minis I have to paint for VSF was a little off-putting.
So I thought that I would try a small project first, and have had a hankering for Strange Aeons for quite some time.
Come on over and take a peek, there is loads of goodness to view.

Thanks, Thantsants...I liked the pun; with me that could be another sign of imminent senility.
Looking at the Group Shot for The Jones Mob, it looks like they should have an "All Dancing, All Singing" Vaudeville style subtitle. Despite that I'm working up to doing those Gangs I haven't sold off into the Spooky Woods setting.

Deafnala, amazing. That forest, what a joy it must be to have scenery like that. I'm not a big fan of lettering on bases, but the font you're using is really nice, and your penmanship just as pleasant.

I love all the pumpkin models, the whole theme is really, really appealing. Excellent stuff!

Thanks for the kind comments, Thantsants! He does indeed have a third arm. All three arms are different sizes, & he has a sixth finger on his left hand. Formorian Giants are supposed to be deformed, & Old George has all sorts of strange things going on.

I was asked about size over on Tom's Forum; SO to answer in advance, he's 70mm to the top of his topknot. For comparison here Himself is posing with a Goblin volunteer:

Thanks for the positive feed back, Guys...it is appreciated.
The staff & scroll were a series of mishaps that surprisingly turned out well. I played around at least once too often positioning the original staff, which, consequently broke. Trying to pin it screwed up the hand. SO, I replaced the thumb, made a new staff out of plastic rod, & added the original top. It was, of course, too tall; adding the scroll was to hide the additional length...someday I may learn to leave well enough alone...or not.

Thanks, Amigo...the camera is going funky on me; so the photos really don't show the Old dead Girl off to any advantage.
The Trees are normally the Scarers, but when I started to take the photos it looked like he/it had become the Scaree...getting a little pay back, eh?!

Thanks for the kind reply, Odo! She looks better & creepier in real life...such as it is.

While I'm here, I just finished Reaper's Well of Doom, which I'll now inflict on you:

A fine example of the dangers of drinking water; just look what it does to your shoes; AND who ever heard of someone contracting some hideous, intestinal disease from drinking the local beer.

Lovely as ever... I'm voting for a shot of the entire project soon. Plenty of new additions that needs to be juxtaposed with old additions.  lol

I'll try to accommodate. Awhile back I moved the larger terrain sections to another room to give myself more working space; this, of course, meant that they were forgotten, ignore, & otherwise abused. However, I've gotten a fair amount of comments about how cool the minis look with background scenery, SO I will hopefully be completing* at least some of the pieces & taking more photos over the next few weeks.

*Is a gaming board ever really "complete"?

@Mason: it would work well with your Strange Aeons...especially the strange part.
@Doomhippie: I was going to say something about the roof of the Cavern being blown off or such, but, to be truthful, I didn't think of the grass in a dungeon issue...imminent senility rears its ugly head. That means Heap's place will have a well...no one drinks water there anyway.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Guys...it's a gloomy, rainy sort of day here, so some motivation is appreciated.
I'm not into the "drug" fantasy either; only the Night Goblins are a 60s style Drug Culture...the Dwarfs are alchies. When you think of it though, the Tavern Scenes are a large part of most every Fantasy novel setting.

As a reward(?) for all the kind words. Here's one of the Were Creatures lurking about:

I'm wondering - do you ever game with all this splendour?

Other than the occasional solo campaign, it's been quite some time since I faced a living(?) opponent across a gaming table. Of course, I live in hope...or congenital idiocy.
In the interim, I've become a supplier of warriors, monsters, et al to fair number of Folk who do game. So my Little Horrors do see battle while I stand & wait.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Guys. I hope to post photos on a more regular basis barring another case of inertia.

I hope I'm not hitting you a too painful shot to the wallet, Mason. The Twisted range is a favorite though neglected part of the Wyrd minis. I'm thinking of picking up their mushrooms to go along with the ones I make.

It was the stuff that didn't fold into the regular Malifaux line. I think it was kind of an incidental line for that reason. Like the rest of their work, I LOVE most of it, and while I wish they'd do more like this, I understand why they're not.

I LOVE the way you brought these to tiny, pewter and paint life!

Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project Update 6/25/12 Familiar & Flunky
Post by: DeafNala on June 25, 2012, 01:16:18 PM
The latest additions are the Evil Doers Faerie Familiar (from Reaper) & the Vampiric Person's Flunky (from Masquerade)...I'll bet you can tell which is which, but I'll identify them to be sure:

The Faerie Familiar:

Some superb additions, DeafNala!

I love the big eyes on the tiny Faerie, the books, scrolls certainly define her diminuative stature, a very nice touch!
 :-*

As for the Flunky: He is great!
Full of character with some lovely paintwork on his candelabra.
A great mini, I shall be having a look for him.
 ;D

Now please post something rubbish, badly-painted and boring, and save my wallet, you bad man!

Thanks once more for the kind comments, Mason. They are appreciated.
The Faerie Wench was a treat to paint. She got me thinking that perhaps I could do some 15s..a cold shower & a sharp rap alongside the head sorted that idea out nicely.
One caveat on the Masquerade mini: while he was a pleasant piece to paint, the candelabra is multi-part & delicate in the extreme...being clumsy, I had to glue each of the arms back on several times. It's appears to be pretty solid now...at least until I drop it.

Thanks MUCHO for the kind words, Guys! I'm delighted you liked the stuff & motivated by your taking the time to say so.

You wouldn't believe what I went through to get a few Masquerade minis, aggro. I made a fairly good sized Mordheim building to act as a Possessed H.Q. for a Fellow Forum Guy from T.B.M.F. & sent it of to the Netherlands...makes for a pretty expense mini.

Since you insisted, I took some ASTOUNDINGLY MEDIOCRE photos of the Massed Horde Thus Far. There are a quite few pieces left out due to lack of space. I also found a number of pieces that I've yet to take individual photos of. All of that aside, HERE THEY ARE:

From a Distance & Out of Focus:

Thanks for the kind words, Doc!

I wish I was a focused as you think I am. The Project seems to be going in two different directions; i.e., a Folk Lore Thingy & a Gothic Horror Theme. By having the same setting for both, I'm hoping to reconcile the differences. At risk of double posting, I'll be putting some of the Gothic Stuff up in the Gothic Horror Section as well as here...trying for more feedback for motivation; at any rate, that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it.

Thanks, Duncan! I appreciate the positive feedback.
Funny thing is the Group Photos always draw better reviews than the individual pics. I think this speaks volumes about the quality of my photos.

I've noticed a few Guys from Texas also. As a transplanted Long Islander (NY), one of my observations about my new digs is, that while things in Texas may or may not be bigger, they are definitely further away. TwoGunBob is probably the closest to moi; he's an 8 hour drive away up in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. My Local Games Store is in Austin...130 miles round trip. This is the way my luck seems to run; i.e., if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd wouldn't have any at all.

This is such a wonderfully inspiring collection you have. Fantastic.

My daughters and I have read it from start to finish and we love it. My daughters have been gaming for a couple of years now, they're aged 7 and 9, and we have a table inspired by the illustrations of Arthur Rackham. It has trees with faces, and all kinds of creatures and scenery inspired by fables, legends and old fairy tales. They would like to ask if we can "borrow" some of your scenery ideas for our table, as they love what you have done so much.

Can't wait for the next installment.

I'm not sure how many more Reaper Spooks I have, but I need more...this one in particular is a must have:

(http://www.reapermini.com/graphics/gallery/4/03342_w_1.jpg)

That's 03342 Borley, Male Ghost.
Of course, Ghosts, Spirits, et al need a place(s) to haunt...Spook Union regulations. SO I have to get cracking on suitable Digs or risk a strike.

Poor Bonnie is one of those pieces that looks good in person, but horrible in photos...the Ghostly Lady is another in this genre. C'est la vie, eh?!

Wow, the steam punk figs fit in with your stuff perfectly!

I agree!
Rather surprising, as when I read that you were using them I was a little puzzled, but the pics made me think again.

 :-*

An explanation of where I'm going with this Beasty might be appropriate at this time...or not: I'm looking to create a place where the Present Steam Punk/Gothic Horror World overlaps with Folk Lore & elements of the Storied Past. The Present is an early Victorian Post Apocalypse Haunted place ala Jim Henson/Tim Burton. Anything that fits roughly in this blanket description is fair game...this could get pretty strange, especially considering the imagination driving it to an uncertain finale.

I look forward to you getting Mr Borley, I think he'd look pretty cool painted up in your style.

In one of my many moments of weakness/stupidity...take your pick, I picked up Borley; the Old Spook has definite potential.

Thanks for the kind words, aggro! Taking a different approach speaks well for your mental health & general hold on reality.
I did a trade with the Prof. for B&C plus two packs of those Oh-So-Cool Top Hat Heads; you should be seeing some converted pieces with the Heads sometime soon...maybe some other L.A.Ms if Himself needs a trade item. I also have a lot of West Wind & Wyrd minis in backlog...there'll be a bunch of G.W. thingies also.

Well, it's nice to see a younger photo of Angela Lansbury. I remember her well from Murder She Wrote in the 80-90s, but she was already an older lady then. Seems she was a babe back in the day.   

Back OT, I'm loving this whole In The Woods project, Deafnala. It has a really strong cohesive feel despite being a whimsical collection of fantastic models of all kinds, brought together by a visionary madman!

AND for something new & different:

Covering a large portion of the Great Fen of Gwahr like a serious case of acne on an adolescent mayonnaise addict's cheeks are the Isles of Langerhans. One of these is occupied Crazy Mary the Witch's Potion Shoppe sole producer & distributor of Crazy Mary's Lust Potion No. IX.

As for your take on the Fortress Entrance-  :o :o :o

Typically of my work habits, I've added a piece to Crazy Mary's; i.e., a smallish islet off the main digs which may be the residence of the Sharx Bros., Harpy, Cheeky, & Grouchy the Piranha Boys. Two more Four A Cherubs were added to the mix, which, in turn, drove off the West Wind Cherub, Chunky.

Now that the excuses/explanation part is done, here are some typically mediocre pics:

Thanks, Mason. I hope the "Mr. Deafnala" doesn't catch on; I feel old enough as things stand.
Things are clicking along nicely if with no definite direction. I figured I'd replace the five Mushroom Guys I used for Crazy Mary's; so I made another eleven.
I also created a separate album for the Spooky Woods pieces; re, to make things easier to find. It wound up being 14 pages long & 211 photos...so far.

The Photo Bucket fix proved to be relatively easy. SO you're about to be subjected to YET MORE photographic abuse. The speck of land off of Crazy Mary's Cay has been finished. It is the lair/hangout/digs of the Dread Piranha Club (Four A style...eventually). So without further ado:

An overhead view:

The plan is to add more tufts of marsh grass & cat's tails on small bases to scatter around. The Piranha Boys will also be on separate bases...probably.

I thought I'd give a small Fast Breaking Update Report: The main portion of Crazy Mary's Cay is painting up fairly nicely, although rather SLOWLY...I over complicated the Beasty.
One of the Sharx Bros. meet a tragic end due to a localized Apocalypse...the inevitable Lemming Leap from the work table. Should I find his wings & do a repair job on one leg, he might reemerge.
Photos can be looked for toward the end of next week...or not.

Thanks MUCHO for the kind replies.

I'm glad you got your "technically difficulties" sorted.

With moi "technical difficulties" arise from an unfortunate mix of technical idiocy combine with a heavy dollop of imminent senility, but one does ones best...doesn't one?!

Sorry to hear the Sharx brother's attempt at flying the nest ended in tragedy.

He should be a fairly easy fix once I find his wings. I've noticed that once a small part hits the floor it is transported to some alternate reality...the same spot where missing socks go.

Thanks for the lead, Fram. There was a thread about their WWII Alice in Wonderland Gang over in the Weird War Section...I followed the link & spotted the Guys. I am sorely tempted. Have you had any dealings with Victory games, &, if so, how are they to order from?

Thanks MUCHO for taking the time to leave your kind comments, Guys! It is my main source of motivation.

I'm starting to get a picture of where this is all going...pretty scary actually & I'm sure I had a similar vision following a Jefferson Airplane concert a long time ago.

@Fram: I'll probably crack & order the Pumpkin Guys. If I do, I'll report on how well Victory Games do with their orders.

Actually so am I. It's time to start mounting the individual components on larger bases. The islets/cays/keys idea would allow me to get quite a few larger but separate pieces that would work well & flexibly together...the weekend will, hopefully, be a productive one.

A LOOK INSIDE A CRAZY OLD MAN'S MIND:
SO having used up five of my Mushroom Guys for Crazy Mary's, I figured I should replace them. Getting a tad carried away with the thing, The Five were duly replaced by The Eleven. Then says I...Old Men, particularly those of the deaf & crazy variety, tend to talk to themselves...while I'm at it I should paint the Lads/Whatever up to make things easy when I plant them.
The end result is The Twenty Eight:

Flashy colors seem to have become a standard aspect of my stuff over the years...could be a deteriorating sense of style. I'm delighted you like them though.

More unique DeafNala craziness! Love it to bits.

Thanks, Funghy! Becoming a Crazy Old Man has been my ambition & life's work...glad it shows.

That was a reference to The Girl, of course, not your good self!

It took me a moment to figure out the reference. While I'm not a bee hive fan, it would be nice to have that much hair on top regardless of the color.

The third eye & the two faces flanking the Fast Flo Flyer are what were added.
She's perched on a stuck a stack of foam hexes I had made for "custom" Geo Hex pieces...that hasn't taken off yet. The backdrop is a 1'square meant for some scenery project. The whole thingy serves as a photo stage...until I come up with something better.

DeafNala, you are so relentlessly creative, it's like free lessons in how to do the hobby right!

Where do they all live? Do you have only a room or two devoted to mushrooms, goblins, pumpkin heads, hags and assorted spooks, or did you have to build a whole new wing to house them?

WOW! Thank you all for your kind responses. I was very pleasantly surprised by the volume & momentarily speechless...this, unfortunately, wore off.

Thanks for phrasing it that way; it's more commonly referred to as nuts.

@tomogui: the Thingies are slowly taking over the entire house. Hopefully when I start mounting them on terrain/gaming boards they'll stay put.

@Duncan: the Wombles are cool; they're sort of fuzzy Goblins, which gives me an idea...BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

It looks absolutely wonderful, with your very distinctive style.

Bravo, Sir. Bravo!

Thanks for the positive feedback, W.K.. Most suggestions for moi that entail a "should" are things like: "you should be in a nut house." It would be cool to see my stuff in production. Of course, I do swap, sell, & give the stuff away.

Another marvellous folly!  8)

Are all these islets and cays going into that swamp/lake we saw many pages ago?

It'll be a beautiful table set up if so - I can imagine the kind of games you'd have!  ;D

Thanks, Thantsants...glad you liked it!
You've got the Game Plan: the various & sundry islets, keys & cays will occupy most of the table with some shore areas; that's a bit less than 36 square feet of table to fill...that should safely occupy the remainder of my life.

Doing some gaming falls in the "hope springs eternal" category at the moment. It is, however, the object of it all.

Thanks VERY MUCH for all the kind comments. Figuring out an alternate way of posting photos while the nice Folks at Photo Bucket figure out the sign-in problem was a tremendous relief...posting has become the main reason for modeling & painting with moi.
The flat topped building is still W.I.P.; there will be a couple more stories to (& possibly about) the beasty. I have more islets under way plus sections of reeds/cattails to fill in the spaces. The Islets will have connecting walk ways...with Horrid Thingies lurking beneath.
Oh & this mini, which I just started on, will be Crazy Mary:

What a great choice, Amigo.

Nice basing too.



What will your crazy imagination come up with next, I wonder......?

Thanks, Mason! I used the same skin coloration on Mary as I do on the less healthy Mushrooms...seemed appropriate. I figured the red hair would add a shock effect to the Old Girl.

As to what is next: I'm working on a larger Islet for the Stoned Hedge pieces along with a couple of smaller things. I've got a few minis in the works, & will be basing up the Piranha Boys later today. SO things are progressing...BWAHAHAHAHA(I love evil laughter)HAHAHAHA!

The only redheads in my life have been horrible managers. Three of 'em at different companies! Right now I have a clueless "old boys' network" fellow as my manager, but if I ever wind up with another middle-aged red-headed biddy as my boss, I'll probably start twitching uncontrollably - even if she's as sweet as pumpkin pie.

Thanks for the kind words & insight into the Redhead Persona. I was surprised at how enjoyable Crazy Mary was to paint; I would definitely recommend her...to paint that is.

In what passes for "Real Life" wit moi, I've only gotten to know a few Babes & one Guy who were redheads. The Guy was a pain, but the Babes were very interesting.

Sorry about that, tomoqui...at least the Guys at Four A seem like good Guys. I must admit that while I've occasionally inspired Folk to pick up their brushes or, a couple of times, pack them away plus the odd chuckle or gag reaction, this is the first time I've inspired someone to part with their $s for the minis.

I had promised Von Kurst of Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum Fame some photos of my Smuggler craft. Being a man of my word when convenient, here are those astonishingly mediocre photos of my incomplete & rather beaten up Smuggler Fleet. The Nasty Nancy suffered some damage from the Texas Odyssey; I decided to do the repair work in the Goblin manner. The Saucy Susan is still W.I.P.. The third ship of the fleet was left in North Carolina with Drugart. SO without further explanation:

Thanks for the kind comments, Thantsants...I can always count on you.
I started these in the Spring '08 &, until I started to repair the travel damage, I hadn't done anything to them. Now, however, I think I may just finish them along with the islets I've got going. Even if they don't get used for Naval Gaming, they could serve as man (Goblin) made islets.

The Third Beasty was a steam powered ram...the height of Goblin-tech. Her name was Wicked Wanda...I think she's enjoying her stay in North Carolina.

To keep you updated & to prevent the thread from disappearing into the dusty recesses of the back pages, here's the latest &, to date, largest of the Isles (of Langerhans).  The upper section will contain the Inner Grouping of the Stoned Circle. SO here it is:

Love the doors and their little knockers - if you'll pardon the phrase  ;)

Reminds me of an ancient and petrified giant fungus - perhaps because of your well documented predilection for the little blighters...

That's a point actually - forgive me if I'm wrong but I can't remember seeing a bug-eyed Igor type in your extensive collection of spooks.

There's got to be a mini out there that resembles good old Marty Feldman.

Now that you mention it; I picked up Igor from Heresy in a mini exchange with a friend in Northern Ireland. This is Heresy's painted demo mini:

While I'm pleased with the pieces, the photos are a disappointment. The Group Shot comes the closest to showing what the minis actually look like. I'm going to have to talk with the Demon Camera of Continual Contrariness...again. Learning how to use it might be another option.

This January sometime will mark 50 years of Miniature Madness for moi; AND, with the Mushrooms & Goblins & all, I've finally found my little niche in the greater Gaming/Modeling picture...I never was too swift on the uptake. SO I figure I'll devote the next 50 years to this project.

Soo... Any plan to decorate the christmas tree with those mushrooms this year ? :D

Probably...if my plan to sleep through the entire month, thus bypassing the Holidays, fails.

I've been fortunate in receiving a few of our own drakkol's WONDROUS Creations to paint up.

The first two are a group imagineered by Mordheimer & drakkol: "Meet the Real Emperor". It's supposed to be a Carnival Show piece. Those paying admission come to a tragic & rather messy end. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to do this for quite a long time now...suggestions are welcome. Here are the pieces:

The Barker & The Emperor:

Thanks MUCHO for all the kind comments...they are appreciated.

As threatened, here are a few Group Photos as things stand thus far.  The Plan is to have a ring of Petrified Tree Islets surrounding the Inner Circle Bar & Grill. All the Cays, Islets, Isle will have connecting walk ways/bridges...beneath which are helpful little Aquatic Creatures (like the Piranha Club) ready to lend the unfortunate accidental swimmer a helping hand/fin (& a set of teeth like you wouldn't believe).

SO here's the Isle Group:

Well, I WAS going to point out that it's much easier to give away from Texas to Nebraska than Belgium...  lol

Wouldn't do it justice, though. I have to admit, looking at the first pictures I had a 'wait, isn't Mordheim relatively small groups?!?' moment, but the cry of the fanatic gobbo fanatic put me to right. Then I jumped to the end, saw the Isle, and realized I wasn't 'right' yet.

Post by: DeafNala on December 25, 2012, 11:43:15 PM
Ferndock the Elven Ranger had his pointy ear pressed to the damp forest dirt. He could pick out heavy footsteps drawing closer & closer; &, out of the equally pointy ear that wasn't in the dirt, it sounded like someone was singing. Just before a foot stepped on his head, he heard it clearly: " Mushroom, Mushroom Man! I've got to be a Mushroom Man..."

SO I picked up a pack of Reaper's Mushroom Men (02679). This is the first of the Fungus Fellows, hot off the painting table:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1318.jpg)

I did rather a fancy base for M.M., which, doesn't show up in the photos...perhaps when I get M.M. the II done & photographed, it will show up in the Group shot...or not. That aside, your comments & critiques would be most welcome...mostly.

Yet another variety of Mushroom has been discovered in the Darkest recesses of the Isles of Langerhans. A strange  creature whose principle features an array of mouths & eyes. Dubbed the Madness Mushroom or the Creature of Continuous Cacophony; re, when two or more of the Creatures are found together, they begin to harmonize with each mouth singing a different song in a different key...for hours on end.

AND the evidence (W.I.P.):

Needs more Doozers  ;)

I remember watching Fraggle Rock as a kid - don't know why but I found the opening bit when the fraggles were chased by one of the Gorgs quite scary as a young'un  ::)

You have to do a talking rubbish heap too!

The big eye is very cool too.

Thanks, Thantsants...more Doozers it is.

As I remember it my second son, Phil, really got into the whole Fraggle thing & eldest son, Chris, was freaked. Of course, Chris was & is freaked by clowns too.

Thank again, Thantsants. There is something really disturbing, creepy, & downright evil about clowns.

Thanks, Timbor.
Only the top piece is finished; the rest is just primed: white drybrush over black base coat; it's nice to know my prime is good enough to pass for finished...thanks again.

Thanks Damien...glad you like it.
I have a dreadful feeling that I'm going to get carried away with this one. The first group of Mutant Mushrooms + two are slated for inclusion & some more candles & a couple of leering faces coming out of the rocks...being easily enthused has it's drawbacks.

There is a definite certain similarity there...it's a job for the I.P. Police, Gestapo, or other such heavy handed Thugs.

Actually they'd be hard pressed to duplicate my mental state. It involves being a Child of the '60s & having various strange chemical concoctions permanently bonded with the outer cortex of what passes for my brain...OH WOW! THE COLORS, Man!

No games...yet. There is, however, hope...maybe.

I've actually given some thought to the predatory nature of the Mushroom Guys. You will notice that their spiral stems look somewhat like springs...think of a Jack In The Box with fangs.

Sorry I didn't thank you for your comment earlier. The water was a serendipitous accident, but it does look nice. The trees have since receive a lighter green dry brush & look much better for it.

The table design was Capt. John's brain child. The idea being to have a table specifically for Geo Hex Terrain Tiles. As the ground is built up the lowest area is the water. You can see a stack of tiles in the background as well as the ones on which the trees are standing.

I'm delighted you like the Fungus Fellows. If I can do them you should have no problems with the Lads...probably. If you need any advice let me know.

AND speaking of really bad photos...here's an old Ral Partha Silver & Steel mini I finished. Painting Chicks is never a problem, but pics of them are invariably make them look like the Bride of Frankenstein. The lighting on most of the pics made the Babe look like a raccoon, but I thought I'd inflict them on you anyway:

Thanks, Theatralic! I'm finishing up the last of the Malignant Seven, & a bit of motivation is appreciated.

I feel like that everytime I look at those Heads, those eyes follow you and hunt you in your dreams :D.

It's not just in the photos; as I wander around the room the Little Buggers always seem to be staring at me...I tell you its driving me sane! There now that I've gotten that out of my system, for all the silliness in my stuff there is a certain surrealistic quality to it all that is actually quite disturbing. I've had a couple of people mention having nightmares about the Mushrooms & Trees. Since I'm going for Spooky, this is a plus.

The Mushroom Gang is all painted up & awaiting basing.
SO here they are in their present state:

Thanks for the very kind & positive feedback, Guys. I'm delighted you like them & took the time to say so.

The winning smiles cum predatory grins are to lull the uninformed, aka lunch, into a false sense of security...I suppose. As such "Pack" does sound like an appropriate group description; individually they may form a new mushroom classification: raptorooms...has a nice ring to it, eh?.

@Fram: "Ring" sounds good...I could do up an especially large & nasty Mushroom, give him a crown, & call him Lord of the Rings...or Fred...one or other other.

@Suber & pocoloco: there are quite a few missing photos after the Goblin pics. Most can be seen here, although without the banter:

Thanks, Paul.
It really bugged me that all those photos had disappeared. Mr.Dee had mentioned that he was going to have to fix the links in his I.G. Thread...that got me thinking about how to fix my own mess. I just did a copy & paste of the new address & added it to all those screwed up photos leaving the photo i.d. #. It took awhile, but you Guys are worth it...more or less.
Unfortunately I had to do the same thing on two other Forums to get everyone up to speed. My school years of part time, mind numbing, factory work paid off...in a PhotoBucket migraine.

Not yet, but where there's life there's hope...I just can't remember where I left my life.

They're taking over the entire house & some of our neighbors are missing.

I haven't the faintest idea...I have 63 or so to be mounted & a large closet full & well you get the idea.

AND...
For those younger members of the Forum or those not familiar with OLD American T.V. shows, Clara Bell was a clown on the Howdy Dowdy Show...a mind rotting childrens' show of the '50s. SO here are the Clara Bella Boys with some paint...awaiting basing.

I must be one of the YOUNGER members then...(WOOO-HOOOO!), cos I had no idea of who Clara Bell was. Or it could be that I just live several thousand miles away and that show was never aired here.

Actually the idea for the Clarabella Mushrooms came from a variety of edible (& quite tasty) mushrooms called bella. The Clarabella renaming just camke unwonted to sick mind.

It's good to see their are still T.V. clowns to inure the children to Life traumatic experiences. Thanks for the Clown photos, Guys...in addition to being cool, they'll give me ideas for the Travelling Circus of Horror that will be roaming the Spooky Woods...sometime.

I'm going to base the more predatory looking Mushrooms on 30 or 40 mm bases to allow them to roam around...that got me thinking of "I Get Around" by the Beach Boys:

Round, round; I get around.
By leaps & bounds,

That aside, I also imagine the Munching Mushroom coming up with a hardy belch...among other things.

He doesn't look very trustworthy...I don't think I'd have him watch my dog for me.

Today I finished up a bunch of more regular Mushrooms & have the Bounders about halfway to completion not counting their bases. After that I have some bridges/walkways to make to connect the islets with some Creatures to live under them...adding excitement to the trip.

There are also a few hundred minis to do...that made me tired thinking about it.

Silly as the pieces can be, there is something truly disturbing & yet appealing about the  Beasties. I think I may have stumble on to something with these. Making them is a joy & a manifestation of the lack of a social life.

That photo got a hearty laugh from moi. This may, however, be the start of the Mushroom Apocalypse; the Beasties are in Italy, Germany, the U.S.of A, & some have even been spotted trying to chat up Folks in London.

That aside, I'm looking forward to seeing your versions of the Lads, smoke...& Paul's of course....maybe Thantsants would like give them a whirl or not.

Thanks for the replies, Guys! They may be the high point of my day!

About the vivid colors, Damien, I'm not sure if it's a result all the historical stuff I did in my teens & twenties or an addiction to cartoons...they're similar enough that the choice is difficult, but regardless, they are my thing. Fantasy, in my opinion, should be at least as colorful as their "real" life counterparts.

Thanks for the feedback, Thantsants....I can always count on you...mostly.
That bottom photo looks an awful lot like the Lads...nice teeth. The first viable suggestion from a Death Squad Forum Guy was purple. I could see a base of purple or deep violet going to a very pale shade of lilac...might be a flashback.

I forgot (nothing unusual in that for moi) I believe the art work for Dark Sun was by Brom, which should give you an idea just how DARK the setting was.

Addendum: one of the Guys on the Reaper Forum suggested I try googling Dark Sun Gith. This yielded this:

I nearly suggested some kind of blue/grey and the thought crossed my mind that those browns and pinky creams might not be bright enough for Stereo-Nala-vision!  ;)

Must admit I'm not familiar with the setting or the race but I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

Brom & I part ways on how vivid colors should be...he also has a lot more talent than moi. SO you can count on some garish shades in the mix.

Must admit I'm not familiar with the setting or the race but I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

Actually I'm not all that familiar with the setting either. My erstwhile AD&D Group got all excited about the Beasty. SO, as the only painter in the crowd, I plunked down my coins for a bunch of the minis. At that point The Group lost interest...one of the reasons they're erstwhile. I do, however, recall it was a horrid place that had a scarcity of water & metal...the Halflings were cannibals, which I thought was appropriate.

Thanks for all the kind comments, Guys! You've made my day...such as it is.
@pocoloco: the Dark Sun was one of those settings that my erstwhile AD&D Group went crazy about & then lost interest after the modules & minis were purchased...these quick temporary flashes of enthusiasm were a Group trait.

@Suber: there is a certain clown-like surrealism to the otherwise silly things that makes them disturbing. A number of Folks on a few Forums have said they cause nightmares (insert Evil laughter here).

AND NOW, with a suitable fanfare & without further ado, here is the seacond of the Mobile Morels:

I imagine these Guys getting around with a low slung Groucho Marx style strut.

I like the Granny Fungus idea. I'll have to give that one some thought. As to sweet expressions, I always thought this Little Guy had an endearing smile:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/DSCN0293.jpg)

...in a vicious sort of way.

...FYI...I hate the new Photobucket too!  grumble grumble... o_o

It SUCKS. It takes forever just to find my albums; & finding an individual photo has become an Epic Quest of Homeric proportions. Considering the language I used when asked my opinion of the "new & improved" PhotoBucket, I'm surprised they haven't closed my account altogether.

Thanks, Paul...glad you like it!

As far as the P.B. goes, I pushed to finish the Dark Sun piece before the change to the new version was foisted upon me. I was supposed to happen on the 18th of March. SURPRISE! I happened today. AND now they're saying that my storage capacity is 85% full...I can have more for about $30 a year...insert here a string of expletives that would make a sailor blush.

I wish I could take credit, but basically I just matched up the skin tones to Brom's illustration as best I could..he came up with a pretty nice color.

Hello DeafNala, those Dark Sun minis have to be some of your best work! Fantastic painting, vivid colours (as always) and love that base. I hope you have more Dark Sun minis; you do them justice.

Thanks for the kind comments, Damien.
While I'm not sure if there are anymore Dark Sun minis lurking in the dusty recesses of The Vault of Pack Rattiness, I know there are quite a number of Ral Partha Oldies from various other T.S.R. settings that I intend to do...or not.

Great work - I really like the minis and what you've done with them - especially the dynamic basing.

As regards Photobucket - not a massive fan I must admit, especially when it can be tricky finding newly uploaded photos...

Thanks Thantsants; I'm delighted you like the vignette. I had those Guys waiting for paint probably for more than twenty years. It's good to see them finally finished.

The really annoying thing about Photo Bucket is the almost total unresponsiveness to all the hate mail they got about the "new" version. It's so hard finding sub-albums, that I've started to bookmark my own account to find them....I wonder if they're modeling themselves on G.W..

Thanks for the suggestion, Glenn. It is something to consider. I've also been using the Google Album & Nikon (I use a Nikon Cool Pix) offers photo hosting.
Sticking with Photo Bucket actually has a lot in common with G.W.; i.e., I loved them for so long that now that they've changed for the worse, it's hard to totally abandon them...the same thought pattern kept me married much longer than I otherwise would have been.

As per photobucket, last week I decided that I had enough of their 'white screens' after logging in and registered with 'imgur'. It was a seamless switch and I am glad I did it; no more frustrations.

There's still a lot to do on the board; SO you can expect periodic updates. I'm not sure if this is something to look forward to or dread...one or the other.

The fairy tale description I think is very appropriate, especially if you think of the scarier, darker side of the Brothers Grimm style.
I've started working on some walkways/scaffolding/et al to connect the various buildings. Some spooky faces are also on the agenda; plus filling in the open spots with some ruins...I think I just wore myself out thinking about it.

Fantastical! Your stuff is so unmistakable: your own signature style, so to speak.

I think that is just about the finest of comments I've ever received. Having a style that is readily recognizable is a goal not all of us can achieve....even recognizably strange is a great accomplishment.

Actually, I'm planning on adding some Goblin-Tech/Steam-Punky Stuff to the mix; SO a rivet count may be forthcoming...or not.

The new Fungus Fellows were part of a group of Mushrooms that were  suffering from the "you-can't-get-there-from-here" syndrome & got yanked when I was painting the ground level of Maudeheim. Since they weren't up to current standard, I modified them...horribly.

Thanks for all the kind words, Guys! I was actually motivated enough to do a complete reorganization of my work/living/whatever space that went far beyond merely finding the floor. I now have easy access to virtually all the minis & materials I've accumulated for my all the various aspects of The Project. Of course now I feel like Death is imminent...nah.

In addition to Maudeheim...named after Maude, patron Goddess of Goblins & Mushrooms Not-Necessarily-In That-Order, I have The Spooky Woods & Swamp boards underway. I figure it took me 50 years to get to this point; another 50 should see it all complete...then on to the gaming!

AND, until it breaks down again, I'm back on the air, Damien! I'm not sure this is necessarily good news for The Forum.

Thanks, pocoloco; your kind comments are appreciated!

Are they happy members of the mushroom society or shunned by their special features?

With the more severely mutated varieties, I would imagine that acceptance would be relative to proximity...you can't get too uppity when you're in range of a bit of cannibalism.

Now that the more active Mushroom Lads are all based up, they demanded new photos...really. SO here they are wandering around Town...& Country.

Thanks for all the kind feedback, Guys. The pieces are just surrealistic enough to be disturbing, but their cartoony/silly natures are amusing. I thinks I've struck on something uniquely my own with this combination. I'm glad you're also enjoying the stuff.

Looking amazing DeafNala!

I'll be adding ... signs, scrolls, paraphernalia, a Ferris Wheel, & the Eiffel Tower.

Of course! The Eiffel would look truly splendid. Where do you come up with this material?

Perhaps your little mushrooms could have a big clock in town to mark dinner time, pillaging time and party time, or DPP as they like to call it? ;) you could buy a cheap pocket watch movement from the evil e bay.

Thanks so much for all the kind replies, Guys & Gals! I was rather low on motivation & you've snapped me out of my funk.

Perhaps your little mushrooms could have a big clock in town to mark dinner time, pillaging time and party time, or DPP as they like to call it? ;) you could buy a cheap pocket watch movement from the evil e bay.

Cheers matt

I like that idea, matt. A Clock Face on O'Leery's Tower would look TERRIFICALLY STRANGE; I could add some gears & things around the place to give a general steampunky, clockwork look...my friend's mantel clock has possibilities.

And it looks like you've got my cousin Michael in here  :-*

I hope you mean Compo Heep the Dwarf; looking like one of the Mushrooms is a tragic fate.

Glad to see a full shot of this, after all those teaser pics showing the mushrooms and minimal scenery ;D

Good point, Princess. I'll make it a point to do more long shots to put everything in (a surrealistic) perspective.

Oh...my...gosh... I made myself wait half the day to take the tour until I could follow along on my monitor instead of laptop and boy was it worth the wait!

The colors, the shrooms, the smallest of details, the bark on the tree that looks perfect for climbing (if one wasn't afraid of what the tree might do) everything blends or compliments something else. It seemingly has a life-force in the pictures. It's definitely the sort of board I'd be afraid of little beasties jumping out of when I wasn't looking.

Awesome!

The terrain is fantastic and reminds me of a certain mushroom induced...trip that I once took  :D  I especially like (mini wise) Mr. Compo Heep.

Thanks, my Fellow L.A.Fers, for taking the time to leave your kind comments...I think I'm becoming addicted to all the positive feed back.

Lovely,lovely,an inspiration for my own terrain :) I like the late 19th century feel to your stuff,if you know what I mean ;)

I do indeed. I add some steam punk to much of my stuff. The Faerie Folk & Creatures of Lore adapt to the "progress" of Mankind. The "progress" remains while I go forward & back time wise with Mankind...if that makes any sense.

Thanks for the link ... might get me one of those! :)

I have a couple of Ginfritter's minis & they were all very enjoyable to paint. He captures quite a bit of character & charm in each piece.

I love all of the little details!
 :-*

The details are, for moi, The Most Enjoyable part of doing terrain. I'm glad you like the effect.

Wonderful, original stuff here, please do keep getting 'carried away' as I am loving all your shroom inspired scenery.

I'll endeavor to keep putting my strange take on Fantasy up, at least until they try to pry the paint brush from the cold, dead fingers...just let them try.

It's definitely the sort of board I'd be afraid of little beasties jumping out of when I wasn't looking.

There was a belligerent little spider occupying the Cave who I had to coax into leaving...the nasty little bugger seems happier in the bathroom window however.

The terrain is fantastic and reminds me of a certain mushroom induced...trip that I once took.

As a Child of the '60s, I can identify.

Thanks for the kind reply, popoloco!

I do a thin black undercoat & then a white dry brush over the black. I do this on both my minis & terrain. I find this both increases the depth of color in recessed areas & aids in giving a brightness to the highlights. A major plus for moi, is that prepping like this makes it easier for my Old Eyes to pick out the details.

Good for you! Trying something new is one of those things that set-in-our-ways painters find extremely difficult & resist with bloody minded tenacity. I salute you!

I saw in another thread that second board is forming up rather nicely?

I did post a couple of W.I.P. shots in Jevenkah's War Games Table Top thread:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?board=18.0

It was a "show me your hills & I'll show you mine" challenge. I've made some small progress since those photos. SO, since you asked & as a reward for thinking of braving a new painting method, here are some updated photos:

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHH! Now that song is embedded in my mind...such as it is! Be that as it may, the "eyes" are various size beads. I'm not sure where I got the idea, but, if it's not "an original", I am deeply indebted to whoever I stole it from. The beads (I know I've said this before, but repeating myself is part of the Crazy Old Man mystique) for some reason or other, probably the hole, seem to follow the viewer around adding to the generally creepy feeling engendered.

This isn't a group of boards. This is a sculpture, a work of art. The environment is like a wondrous but unsettling dream, one that disturbs you with unformed yearnings through the day while you try to concentrate on work. It makes me want to wander its strangeness.

You are an accomplished artist.

I even like the fact that the name Compo just makes me think of Last of the Summer Wine . I can just imagine Sid and Ivy arguing in there, and dear old Wally sneaking in for a quick pint while Nora's back's turned.

Thanks MUCHO for your very kind reply, Garanhir. The Project has taken on a life  of its own...a rather disturbingly funny one. It's a strange view of all the things I've enjoyed about miniature, games, movies, cartoons, & art all lumped together in a single, surrealistic lumpy Dream...or Nightmare depending on your sensibilities & point of view. This doesn't mean it or I should be taken all that seriously...I'm glad you are enjoying it.

Thanks also for the Last of the Summer Wine reference. I wasn't familiar with the show; SO I looked it up...it sounded like my type of sitcom. I'm sorry I missed it.

That might be in the realm of possibilities for some Folk, but I have a Black Thumb. Any form of flora that's left in my care will wither & die in short order. I actually once killed an artificial plant; i.e, it was tragically left in the line of fire of the steaming tea kettle...I always figured that tea was no good for you.

I managed to kill all the cacti that I used to have times ago... nowaydays everything flora related is only done under a tight scrutiny and survaillance of She Who Must Be Obeyed :D

That might be in the realm of possibilities for some Folk, but I have a Black Thumb. Any form of flora that's left in my care will wither & die in short order. I actually once killed an artificial plant; i.e, it was tragically left in the line of fire of the steaming tea kettle...I always figured that tea was no good for you.

 lol lol lol

Great! Well, my feeling about plants is basically let them grow under the conditions around. If they manage cool, if not I don't shed a tear.

Does your eye-stalk tree move around at night when nobody's watching? Sounds a bit like that...

The tree in the last pic looks as if it just had gleefully rubbed its hands, thinking "Omnomnom, tashty shrooms, I'sh gonna pick thish one an' thish one. Tashty, tashty." I'm not quite sure why, but that particular tree just looks as if it's thinking voice had a funny accent.
Your pics always make me think, if Brothers Grimm teamed up with Dali to form a company offering their services as gardening & landscaping designers the results might be similar.
Some of the pics almost have a strange nostalgic quality but at the same time look a bit like postcards send out of somebody's daydreams, eerie and charming at the same time. The fourth and fifth pic in particular.

Btw even if the comment(s) might sound a little odd, I do mean what I say as compliment.

Thanks for an overwhelming response, Guys...I'm speechless...more or less. Receiving such positive reactions is VERY motivating. I'll try to justify your praise with more strange pieces.

@ink the troll: I also imagine the various faces have distinctive voices/accents...Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, Marty Feldman, & Groucho Marx are among the list. At least I hope I'm imagining the voices.

DeafNala,  :o  :-* that ent like tree is fantastic, the branches are so grotesque and distorted. The whole thing eminates 'spooky'

Are you going to put in large mutant spiders or faye spirits? Perhaps they are scared of the mushrooms!  lol hahaha

I am really unsure how anyone would 'play' on this board of yours, it is more of a diorama than a playable surface. Does every player have to take a fear test each turn? Is every step dangerous terrain?

"you broke your leg on a tree root that wasnt there before"
"you died walking through a cloud of mushroom spores"
"A mushroom landed on your head, and ate your face off"

Have you had a game on parts of it so far? If so could you post or link a few 'in game' pictures?

Cheers
Matt

Besides all the praise that has been already said about your terrain making and painting skills I would take the opportunity also give merit to your photography DeafNala, I just love how you have used the lightning in the pics about the Spooky Woods #1 (I take it there's more to come if this is just #1?

I bear such admiration for all your work, the way you have built this environment up and how it has become much, much more than the mere addition of elements. Don't want to repeat what others have already told you, so I'll just say that I find your work enormously original, a true source of inspiration.

Thank you One & All for your overwhelmingly kind remarks. I am most grateful for & humbled by them all. I'll do my utmost to live up to them...at least the ones that aren't too difficult.

This is delightful and it is more true to the tales of the Brothers Grimm than anything Disney made. The world of the Fae is deadly and not to be trifled with. You've caught the true essence of Faerie Tales here.  :-* :-* :-*

Faerie Tales like Clowns are really scary things...especially if you venture into the Seelie Courts/Sidhe. My stuff tends to hang between charming & creepy; it's a reflection of all the tales, fantasy or not, that have shaped my admittedly strange imagination over a lot of years. I hope you continue to enjoy "The Tale" as it unfolds.

Have you had a game on parts of it so far? If so could you post or link a few 'in game' pictures?

I haven't gamed on the new boards yet, Matt. When I do, it will probably be a solo affair...SO Battle Reports, stories, & photos will be features.

Besides all the praise that has been already said about your terrain making and painting skills I would take the opportunity also give merit to your photography DeafNala, I just love how you have used the lightning in the pics about the Spooky Woods #1 (I take it there's more to come if this is just #1? If yes, then excellent news for us :D ), brings the scenery truly alive. Much kudos to you Sir.

I'm afraid that when my photos turn out cool it's mostly a serendipitous accident...of course, I'm still perfectly agreeable with taking the credit for them.
There will hopefully be several more boards: two more Spooky Woods that will be the same size as Heep's Place & SW1, a couple with the Swamp & Isles of Langerhan, the Goblin City, & some Graveyard Thingies.

I'll just say that I find your work enormously original, a true source of inspiration.

Thanks, Suber...being an inspiration is the ultimate compliment for any creative person...& me too.

I finally figured out why those twisted mushroom fellows creep me out: their faces are much more like I imagined C.S. Lewis' monopods when I was very young and reading the Chronicles at night. Those things freaked me out for the longest time!

What do you use for the red dirt? (I think I might know the answer to this but had to ask...)

There is something about my little horrors that conjures up memories...pleasant or not. A lot of the early comments suggested a Labyrinth connection; Alice in Wonderland had a few mention as well, along the Brothers Grimm. Mentioning my Thingies with any of them is an honor.

What do you use for the red dirt? (I think I might know the answer to this but had to ask...)

I use the floral sand from Michael's (beach sand brings along possible flea infestation). I glue it down with (Aleene's) tacky glue thinned out with water. It's then painted with a mix of Americana Heritage Brick & Georgia Clay; drybrushed with Ceramcoat Terra Cotta & finally Americana Honey Brown...it's somewhat less red in reality.

And we can't wait for more!

There's a Pecan Tree out in back of our place that actually looks like it has eyes...on stalks. I'll have to try to get a photo of it/him/her/whatever.

Yes, definitely get a picture!

The board is just BRILLIANT! It's not even finished yet ... can't wait to see all of it finished, in all it's glory ;) I like the wobbly chimney haha - I'm a sucker for little, interesting details.

The mushrooms are creepily comical ...

I have the "Alice in Steamland" and "Expedition to Wonderland" packs from LAM and want to eventually make a small "Wonderland" board with giant plants and creepy trees (another project on my list, that will probably not get started ANY time soon! ;D) ... thanks for some great ideas!

When you get up the motivation, do give the Wonderland Board a try. It will make a GREAT background for photographing your pieces & all sorts of ideas for new ones. I found this thread inspiring...you might also (caveat:the first photo is missing, but the rest of them are still there):

As promised, or threatened if you prefer, I have the first photos of a Group of Hunters braving the Perils of the Spooky Woods...it really should have a proper name...like Spooky Woods in German...names in German seem to sound ominous for some reason or other.

Actually, although it's my favorite, The House is surrounded be a grove of equally bizarre trees; mostly Pecans & the occasional Living Oak. They all sport some truly twisted shapes & oft times gravity defying branches. All in all, its a rather homey atmosphere for moi...The Trees try to disassociate themselves from moi whenever possible however.

Thanks, Fram! I hope I don't offend any of the Forum Folk with the sinister sounding German remark. I once asked for a translation of Fluffy; in German, it sounded like a fine name for a Hell Hound.
One of the Fellows from the Death Squad Forum gave me these:

Quote from: Gatlag Stonetooth
Der Dunkle wald
Der Unheimliche Wald
Der Gruseligen Wald

A few simple examples to prove you're right: in German it sounds scary as hell!   :o

What Shaw said about the English & Americans could be used to refer to the difference in generations also: "We are two people separated by a common language."

The aforementioned Gatlag & I were also discussing how wonderful Morheim characters sound with names that are or sound German. I had one particularly rotund Hero who I named Otto Von Kummerspeck. Kummerspeck refers to weight gained from emotional distress; the literal translation is "grief bacon". German is a wonderful language.

Post by: ink the troll on May 23, 2013, 05:53:40 PM
German names/ words- this most likely will be a bit boring so I apologise beforehand:

spukhaft- would be the closest, at least from a purely translational point of view, Spuk= a spook. Outside of books/ movies I've never seen or heard that used though. What you'd call 'a ghostly apparition' in German is 'eine spukhafte or geisterhafte Erscheinung'.
Nobody would say 'dieser Wald ist spukhaft'- 'this wood is spooky', you'd say 'dieser Wald ist unheimlich/ gruselig'.

There's lots of words that roughly go into the same direction, some of which can be used mostly synonimously. Like in English it always depends a bit on the context.

gespenstisch, geisterhaft- Gespenst & Geist both mean ghost, so this is more like ghostly, spectral, ghastly, eldritch
unheimlich- creepy, eerie, unearthly
gruselig- creepy, eerie, gruesome
schaurig- scary, creepy, eerie, spine-chilling/ bone-chilling.
grausig- ghastly, grissly, horrible, gruesome
schauderhaft- dreadfull, horrible, direful

Wald- woods
Forst- forrest
Hag -though you'll hardly ever hear that used for woods it can have that meaning as well, it's more an old and nowadays seldom used word that means something like 'hedge' or 'fence' as well. A fairly ancient word for witch (Hexe) was hagazussa - often thought to mean something along the lines of someone sitting (riding) on a hedge or fence. Unlike hag in English it's pronounced with a long a, like in lard or tar.

So for a name you could choose something like 'Schauderwald' ('Dreadwood'),  'Grauswald' or 'Grauenswald'.  Grauswald sounds more like an old fashioned name for a person though- like Sigismund or Theoderich or 'Schrat von Grauswald' (a 'Schrat' is something somewhere in between woodwose and bugbear, I think in the German D&D stuff that's the word they use for bugbears).
'Schreckenswald' (Schreck= fright, horror; jemandem einen Schrecken einjagen= to frighten somebody, 'jagen' means hunt so literally translated that'd be 'to hunt/ chase someone into a fright').
'Geisterwald' ('Ghostwood'), 'Spukwald' ('Spookwood')

Those are G.W.'s plastic Night Goblins from the 6th edition. I think they have the merriest, maniacal expressions...like little caricatures of Marty Feldman

I'm excited to hear your recipe for the dirt. I was so afraid you were going to tell us that came from your Mother Nature too! :)[/qoute]

Glad to be of some assistance. The tacky glue is especially useful for large, flexible surfaces; re, it remains pliant, preventing the cracking to which normal white glues such as Elmer's are subject.

And that Pecan Tree is wild  :o!

Back home on Long Island, I lived in a pretty heavily wooded area, but I must admit to being pretty impressed with Texas flora. It lacks the height of Eastern trees. However, the trees tend to be twisted with unique personalities all their own...I can emphasize with them.

AND Ink, thanks for the FANTASTIC German lesson! My friend (mein Freund) Tom List from the Boring Mordheim Forum bearing his name, when he had the time, gave me insights into how to phrase names & such so as to sound right to a German speaking person...I usually screwed them up.

Thanks, Princess, & congratulations: you're the first one to notice the new chimney on Heep's Place. I'm delighted you are enjoying The Project...sounds like part of a slum...appropriate.

When you get up the motivation, do give the Wonderland Board a try. It will make a GREAT background for photographing your pieces & all sorts of ideas for new ones. I found this thread inspiring...you might also (caveat:the first photo is missing, but the rest of them are still there):

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=15892.0

Cool, eh?!

Thanks, there are some cool ideas in that thread! I do like the skull and the tree with the eyes ... definitely some food for thought!

At this stage, I'm kind of leaning towards something quite small (more of a backdrop diorama than a playing board) but will see when I get around to it!

Lisnin to wot some o dem kids and ting round ere is sayin', like, it nuff scares me to fink wot is called English and shit dese days....innit!

It's true! I find I'm constantly disturbed by the not-so-slow and steady disintegration of language these days! It's not even just English! I saw someone write something in Spanish on Facebook just this morning and had to read it about five times before I figured out what they were saying!

AND that's way too many exclamation marks ;)

Back to more important things: DeafNala, the board looks awesome, the minis mischievous and that backyard tree is definitely explaining some of the elements of your Spooky Woods! ;)

I vote for "Spukwald" or "Schreckenswald", by the way. Sounds a bit more comical, to match the quirky-come-sinister vibe of the board and the minis! And the latter reminds me of Shrek. Just sayin' ;)

DeafNala - you're welcome. Playing with language can be much fun, it also can have some unforeseen side effects- I now want to convert something into the exemplary Schrat von Grauswald...

Rut's Garden would be a bit much for a first project, but borrowing some ideas for small Puppet Stage style shelf layout might be a possibility. If you make the scenery pieces removable, you'd have an ever changing photographic backdrop for your minis.

AND that's way too many exclamation marks ;)

Exclamation points are a sign of enthusiasm; I use BOLD LETTERED, CAPITALIZED  WORDS as a substitute...AND iy's always nice to have another enthusiast around.

Thanks again for the positive feedback & suggestions. Both names would fit the area around Heep's place & I could go for a more sinister name for the other side of The Swamp...where the Dead don't rest easy (insert B Horror Movie theme music here.

When I was the Group Painter for my AD&D Gang I keep a book of names that would pop into my head...NPCs with cool name tend to get killed on sight. I've started a new one.
I like that name; it remind me of Reaper's Matthias the Twisted (though I wish it was, this is not my brushwork):

Sounds like moi. Despite keeping a running list of minis I'd like from Reaper, there is always one or two I miss when I order. When I hit the Hobby Stores, I invariably go for that Oh-So-Cool mini only to find its the same Oh-So-Cool mini I bought a month before.

Since you asked, I counted the suckers up; there are 17 studs/rivets counting the 3 holding the straps. If there was one more stud, it would have counted as a Victorian Science Fiction miniature.

Once more astonishing the world of mycology with a startling discovery, Dr Anne O'Leary has verified the existence of a new form of Sentient Mushroom, Mycolearia. Reports state that she became aware of this new species when one whispered "got a light, Baby?" in her Ladyship's ear.

The Mycolearia:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1754.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1754.jpg.html)

AND a group of Talking Toadstools that asked nicely for a photo:

There you have it...better photos are expected when the new species are relocated to the O'Leary Estates (Anne's Diorama).
Comments & critiques are most welcome...mostly

Thanks, Jevenkah! I'm looking forward to Anne's Diorama also. Size-wise the Ballerinas come up a little short of eye level on the Mycolearias & a bit shorter overall to the Toadstools...of course, the Ballerinas are armed & dangerous.

What grotesque little faces! DeafNala, they are my favourite 'shrooms so far! I love their hats and the ribbed undersides.

Could you make a scary caterpillar smoking something strange upon a large "boss" mushroom? Your mysterious forest is a scary place. Any animals must be equally scary to survive that place.

Amazing work, I cannot fathom the skill needed, nor the amount of GS you go through ;)

I don't know if I can, but that is a very cool idea. My friend, Fabio, made a little caterpillar on a shelf mushroom; I could use him as a model for a hookah smoking Caterpillar ala Alice in Wonderland.

Amazing work, I cannot fathom the skill needed, nor the amount of GS you go through ;)

You know now that you mention it, I'm not sure how much G.S. I have gone through. If I remember, I'll keep a note on it. As far as skill, these really are my first venture into G.S.. Hither to I limited myself to bases & an occasional spooky face all done in plumber's epoxy putty.

Not all of them, but the ones with the frilly collar like gills are Clarabella Mushrooms. The ones I did for Anne are Mycolearia.

I'm not sure how they fit within the Seelie Court, but they're in there somewhere...the rest of The Court vehemently deny their existence. I also have a couple of Reaper Faeries based & primed.

I am really sorry that I did not send you the other 4A Miniatures Goblins now.
I kept a couple of the masters for myself because I thought that I would use them soon.
How wrong I was.
They would really have benefitted from taking a trip to Texas.

Sorry!

There's nothing to be sorry about, Amigo. I think I still have a Four A Goblin or two I haven't gotten to...not to mention a couple hundred from other mini makers. As far as journey to Texas goes, I'm still not sure whether I'm all that thrilled about making the trip myself.

That said, I wonder now how a Goblin would look in a Stetson. I could make Cactus versions like the Mushroom...I can see a cold shower is in the offing.

Those imps are really unbelievably sweet. And a perfect addition to the woods of wonder. And yes, I can hear the sound of White Rabbit playing there in the background. Now all we need is a talking egg and a caterpillar...

Thanks, Doomhippie...I somehow knew you'd know White Rabbit.

I think the Imps have a certain charm of their own also. They definitely fit with the bizarre feel of the rest of the Woods. AND a Hookah Smoking Caterpillar would be Oh-So-Cool...I could swear I've seen one...in reality that is.

"What big teeth you have" said Little Red Riding Hood. "The better to eat you with my dear." said the little imp.

These are marvelous creations-scary, but endearing all at the same time. They make a perfect addition to Spooky Woods. Now don't forget to put  bowl of cream out on the back stoop to appease them, lest they make mischief in your home while you sleep.

Thanks, O'Leary! There is something charming about the Fiendish Little Balloons once you get by all those teeth.
Between popular stories & Fairy Tales there is a treasure trove of characters to modify (pervert) & include in The Woods...BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

By the way, I redid the wings in a darker shade to avoid blending in with the trees. When I post pics again, probably with the Faeries, you should see the difference.

As the sun slowly set...which was it's habit, two small Groups of Travelers could be seen watching The Road to Heep's Place.

A Warrior of Darkness & his Shamanistic Flunky are the first to emerge:

The Dusk brings a Band of Amazons...actually their legs & a strenuous march brought them; it just coincided with the Dusk, but Dusk is always claiming it causes things:

While the Four A Goblin was done sometime ago, the Barbarian Babes (Bronze Age) & Orc (Rackham) were done over the last ten days, inspired by the Lady A Day Thread posted by the Oh-So-Creative Jevenkah & Teshub. The Big Guy took three days & the Ladies a week.

It has been rumored that the Shaman (name is T.B.D.) has a taste for The Sauce.

Thanks, Fram. I think the posters, signs, et al add something to the scene. The "cogito ergo sum" with the Goblins is a countermeasure to the normal perception of Goblin intellect.

And the heads on the goblin's standard are a nice touch!

And the heads on the goblin's standard are a nice touch!

One day a couple of years ago I was about to do up a yet more Goblins for my Ever Victorious aka Never Used Night Goblin Horde from HELL! when the thought entered my head "why are you doing their skin in God-Awful-Green?". Since I couldn't come up with an answer, I started doing the hitherto Green Guys in other, more natural & pleasing colors.

You, Himself, & your Crew including the Young 'uns are a continual source of inspiration & motivation. I just thought you should know that.

The little guy with the banner is gruesomely sweet looking. The colours-just my kind of thing. And the Amazons are bold looking Babes. So nice to see you adding some new figures to your world :D :D

It's going to get worse. I addition to new stuff, I realized I have quite a horde of minis yet to be subjected to my truly mediocre photographic skills....insert sinister music here.

Love the Orc and Gobbo, amigo.
I cannot see the Babes, but I assume they will be just as finely brushed, they just seem a little shy, hiding in the dark like that....

I took some additional photos of the Hooligan Sisterhood. They turned out to be incredibly unflattering. I'll try again when the shock wears off.

You've got it! I'm sure they'd love life in Belgium...so would I for that matter.

I had a boss who expended enormous amounts of energy running around without purpose & stopping only to annoy his crew; he got the nickname "Psycho Chicken"; that might be a number Chicken Girl could handle also.

The Goblin Gate (looks more like a Vampire Gate to moi) is by Scotia Grendel. It's part of the Goblin Torture Chamber:

http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Products/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=227_41&products_id=2669

I bought two of them in the distant past when the Gate was sold separately. The torture chamber stuff is cool though; I also have a set of them still unpainted...I'm not into pain I guess.

Two new Denizens of the Spooky Woods have shown up...they'll be photographed in the Woods once their associates are painted.

 The first is a West Wind's Goblin (he's about the size of a G.W. Orc). My amigo Mason's Lunatic was the inspiration to the piece...

I wouldn't want to tap that first one on the back even in daylight.

Having him whirl around was what I had in mind when I put the photos in that order...the crazed look is even more intimidating in person.

Deafnala I like how you manage to paint flesh that is pumped with blood. The rediness brings a vitality to your scary creations. Well done sir, I think the fairy is my favourite, and I'd say it's because of the etherial wings you painted. They both look boss, and should be able to survive the spooky forest no problem ;) the mushrooms better look out!

Much older I look back on the childrens tv-shows and cartoons there was and I think to myself: What on earth had they been smoking?

And I now have to ponder, have you been smoking those mushrooms?  ;)

Thanks again for the kind words. You'll find that things get progressively stranger although more focused as you go through the thread.
Cartoon-wise, I think my stuff is mostly Tim Burton & Bugs Bunny with a healthy mix of Jim Henson & Labyrinth for good measure...some of the stranger stuff may be totally original.
It's been awhile since I did any interesting smoking. The last mind altering mushrooms I encountered were I think at Woodstock or a Jefferson Airplane concert...both were a long time ago. Of course, flashbacks are a possibility.

If you want demon fairies, Reaper do some great imps (in case you haven't already got some).... actually  after writing this I think I might have seen some in your posts already.... my memory is not so great....

This may be a post to win the most useless post award.... oh well...

Thanks for the Reaper tip, maxxev, I'll check for them. The Imps I posted/painted are from Wyrd's Twisted Range...they only make three.
I'm thinking of getting some of Reaper's Faerie Wings & Bat Wings to be combined with the 6th Edition Goblins for Goblin Faerie Folk.

My recent splurge on Insulation Foam Squares has created a Motivated Monster. One of the ideas is finally mounting up the Isles of Langerhans on a single board with an eventual extension for the Smugglers' Ships. This is the present arrangement of the Isles:

There will be connecting walkways at various levels, shiny water spots, marsh grass, & the occasional tentacle.
As always comments are most welcome...for the most part.

I'm hoping to get an effect similar to the New Jersey Swamp close to the Holland Tunnel...an area that nuclear contamination would improve.

Is this the Rock Face you wanted to see?

When I was a boy, The New Jersey Swamp was a high point in the annual trip from Long Island to my Aunt Skeets & Uncle Lenny in Hackett's Town. There was something about the strangely colored water(?) & the distinct aroma that appealed to me...I was a bizarre child.
My folks & Aunt Skeets & Uncle Lenny all retired to Whiting NJ...near Tom's River & Seaside Heights. Visiting my Mom every week or so after my Dad passed away gave me a bit of feeling for the Garden State.

Its always nice to see your lovely terrain pieces set up together Deafnala.

Thanks again, aggro! The nice dense foam boards opens up a new World of gaming/display boards.
I'll be gluing down some of the smaller islets today & distressing the balsa/bass wood for the walkways.

Keep it coming - your stuff reminds me of 80s Henson films.

Being included in a sentence with Jim Henson is a real boost to my self esteem. Fortunately, humility is one of my qualities that I'm most proud of.

Looking good.  :D

Thanks, Engel. I'll try to keep posting thing to draw you back to the thread.

As I was plodding oh-so-slowly along with the Swamp Board, a strange Beasty emerged from my psyche...he was subsisting on a diet of dust bunnies. SO to keep the thread from disappearing all together, allow me to present the latest of my creatures, Loathsome George the Gooky Monster:

George will be haunting the toxic waters off Crazy Mary's Cay:

As the intro say, I've made a bit of progress on The Isles of Langerhans Board. There's still a lot to do...at least from my lazy point of view, but be that as it may, here's where we stand now:

An Overview:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1911.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1911.jpg.html)

I found this Oh-So-Cool Twig down near Pecan Creek; I'll try to get a better shot next time...it has all sorts of little holes & such. That aside it's now a dead tree connecting Oozy Suzy's Rock with Crazy Mary's Cay:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1912.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1912.jpg.html)

The walkways & ladders between Crazy Mary's & The Stoned Hedge Isle:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1913.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1913.jpg.html)

...with the Many Eyed Tree of Ogling:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1915.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1915.jpg.html)

AND the Dead Fall Bidge from Frag's Sacred Rock Bar & Grill to Stoned Hedge Isle:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1918.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN1918.jpg.html)

Now that I'm coming up to speed (for a Feeble Old Man that is) progress reports should come more frequently...or not. In the meantime your kind commentary would be most appreciated...mostly.

Thanks MUCHO for all the kind comments, Guys...you've made my day!

...and the 'Twig from the Creek' is perfect.

There has been some question as to the sanity of someone who gets excited about a water logger twig...sanity is highly overrated.

If the islands are fixed, will you put in more floating debri, alligators and the like?

Along with more walkways & beds of reeds/marsh grass there will be lots of floating thingies & beasties...reasons to avoid a dip.

Lovly all around but those pictures of the dark murky bridge is awesome.  :-*

The bridge is balsa planking over two interesting twigs. I rather like the effect myself...I'm glad you agree.

Egads! That is beautiful.

Thanks, von Lucky!

Oh, I've missed some of the updates! Really nice work on George. Is he scratch-built? The board looks fantastic too,  it makes me say "Wow" out loud, even more so because I know I would never be able to do something like that. Only one suggestion though, perhaps you could gloss varnish the water? It would make it look more watery, I think.

Thanks, C.A.! Old Loathsome George is a home grown Beasty...he may be getting some company.
Once I get the clumps of reeds glued down all the exposed "water" areas will get some water effect for ripples & several layers of gloss finish. I think that will not only add to the water feel, but to the general disgustingly gross aspect of the swamp.

As threatened, I took a LOT of photos of what progress I made with The Swamp. There are some new scaffolds connecting various Places of Dubious Interest along with some reed beds for Loathsome George to lurk in & the first layer of water effects. SO here are The Photos of ASTOUNDING Mediocrity:

Looks like everything's going wonderfully so far! Will the later layers of water effect add a more glossy finish to the water? That seems to be the biggest thing missing at the moment.

Loving it DeafNala! I like the rich textures everywhere. They are varied across the terrain. Everything looks natural and chaotic.

Perhaps George could have a partially submerged lady friend. Grabbing and unsuspecting mushroom? Or perhaps holding a fresh picked skeleton arm. ;)

Thanks for all the positive feedback, Guys!

It actually is fairly shiny in reality. However, I intend to keep adding layers of gloss finish until it starts reflecting the surrounding terrain...or the whole thing is embedded in polyurethane...whichever comes first.

As I was gloomly looking through some material for the first of three consequetive parent-teacher nights I accidently opened LAF and stumbled across the the newest additions to your thread. Looking at all the weird faces I somehow connected them to the parents of the kids I teach - and really cracked up. Those pics made my day, I'll make sure to be extra nice to those parents. What a wonderful world of weirdness you have once again presented to us. This is one of the best threads on this forum and that is saying a lot.  :)

Thanks, aggro...that is the Game Plan.

AND while I'm here...

The first layer of gloss on the "water" has proved to be SO shiny that further layers are probably not necessary. That won't necessarily stop moi fro seeing how many layers I can do before screwing the whole thing up. 
Be that as it may, here is how the "water" looks through The Camera's uncooperative perspective:

After I add just a bit more scaffolding & some posters, candles, etc., I'm planning on showing off the details & inhabitants in a series of photos. SO you should be subjected to more photos soon.

You can count on more photos; re, the WONDERFUL responses I receive are my major reason for getting up in the morning...visiting the washroom is second.

While the boards are great for taking photos, I would love to use them for a gaming. The only games I've had over the last decade or two have been solo affairs; SO I'm not sure what rules would work with them...I'm open to suggestions...among other things.

What a great board.
Alice in wonderland meets the bog of eternal stench.  :D

The Bog of Eternal Stench was a major inspiration for the piece. Apparently it shows; over on Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum one of the Guys posted a photo of Ludo & Sarah's reaction to the aroma...some people don't appreciate interesting smells.

As the title says, I made some small progress with The Swamp; i.e., I added a suitably rickety bridge from The Three Sisters' to Stoned Hedge Isle & Tavern; AND a scaffold leading from Crazy Mary's to Frag's Rock.
That should take care of the board other than adding some posters, flyers, vegetation...mutant or otherwise, & the Residents. As I finish the Guys & Gals around Town I'll post them...you might consider this advanced warning.
NOW on to the photos:

Thanks, Fram! The scaffolds offer some added excitement to combat; i.e., the possibility of falling into the toxic wastes is daunting.
Now that I've got a feel for the Beasty, adding scaffolds to the Goblin City, Maudehiem (name to be changed) should go well. There the excitement comes from a LONG fall to the unforgiving rocks below.

The Buzzard's Eye View does put the board in an understandable perspective that eliminates some of the confusion the close ups can cause...I hope that wasn't confusing.
Buzzards are quite common around here; normally they're seen in a holding pattern, circling above an unseen object/potential meal...they do it to freak people out.

I promise not to disappoint you, GS. Now that Baseball Season is coming to an end the time I spend watching all those games can be spent making strange pieces & painting minis to match.

This gets more wonderful every time I see it! :-*  :-*

The eggs may very well have something to do with it all. At the least, the cartons are where I store my finished minis & those that are based, primed, & ready for the brush...gives some small indication of the amount of work left both painting & taking photos.

The colours were the first thing that caught my eye when I got to look through this latest batch of photos. The palette is perfectly fanciful and a bit sickly at the same time. To continue to echo the previous posters, the walkways are awesome. Are the planks made from craft store material or mother nature supplied?

Loving it all,
Jevenkah

Thanks for all the kind comments, Guys & Gal!

I don't generally think out the colors for my thingies; I just go with what feels right. The vibrant colors add to the surreal feel of the place; i.e., they don't look like the "Real World".

To continue to echo the previous posters, the walkways are awesome. Are the planks made from craft store material or mother nature supplied?

Yes. That is they're made of God's balsa wood that I pick up at Michael's. The planks are 1/4"X1/8" & the supporting beams are 1/4"X1/4". I distress them with a course hobby saw to emphasize the wood grain.

Dora's place is now open for business...more or less. Many's the Guy, Goblin or Otherwise, who's stopped off for "a wee drop at Dora's". Now that I've gotten that out of my system here are some photos of the latest development:

Thanks, Guys! I needed a jolt of motivation.

Wait - that's a tavern? I'm still getting awesome the Henson vibe, keep it up.

Nothing quite so grand...more like one of the little, illegal bars that dotted my old stomping grounds. The whole Shanty Town will be a series of party spots...Goblins living up to their reputation.

I love it for some reason the 'Cheers' theme tune popped into my head from nowhere...brrr spooky


I had an Old Scottish drinking song (forgive the spelling: Just A Wee Daken Dora in mind. But now that you mention it, the Cheers would work...& be impossible to stop playing through the mind.

I am really liking your weathered timber. The shades and tones in it are fantastic, and define your wood grain very well. The cracked plaster and brick work is a nice addition sir.

The little establishment has no running water? So it doesn't need any little pipes running into it?

Thanks, Matt.
Now that's an idea. I could add a Water tower/tank with pipes feeding some of the establishments...the height would add another level to the Beasty. Drinking the Swamp water might be a very bad idea; actually water isn't any good for you...just look what it does to your shoes.

The colors probably wouldn't work in a saner project, but sanity has never been a strong point with moi.
The photos did reveal the curtain needed some toning down; so I went back & softened the shadows.

The Girl is a cool mini with a charm all her own, AND she really fits in with the feel of The Swamp...that doesn't sounds as complimentary as intended.

She looks right at home among the mushrooms. Certainly looks more comfortable than among the fun trees.

She does rather match up nicely with the Mushrooms...I don't think anyone feels comfortable by the Trees.

The Old Girl is a PERFECT fit for the place. Everything else will be made to match her charming persona.

That's how I think of Ma Jo also...she is the owner & main culprit of Ma Jo's Potions, Poisons, & BBQ. I have another shack or maybe two to add to her Mushroom.

Thanks, Guys...I'm glad you like The Girls despite the less than wonderful photos.

Besides the pixies, will there be also Redcaps, Gnomes, Tonttu etc?

Hopefully there will be all sorts of Faerie Folk. It's the Folk Lore Folk against The Real People...the latter are subject to forward & reverse time shifts whereas the former remain unchanged throughout...if you don't count the automatic weaponry.

Those wings!
Those wings!

I must admit I'm rather pleased with the wings myself...I'm normally my own harshest critic.
I've had the second Faerie floating around unpainted for sooo long it was a wonderful feeling finishing her. Now I feel ready to shift into a higher &, hopefully, more productive gear...or not.

They do have a "looking for a good time, sailor?" look to them. Once I finish the other buildings for Mother Jo's I'll install them in the area.

Two new hovels have sprung up Mushroom like in the Shanty Town adjoining Ma Jo's Mushroom. To commemorate the occasion I thought some photos were in order. SO here's a Tour of the place:

Oh this is going to look sooooo good once you have a respectable little shantytown built up. Some brilliant multi-level gaming possibilities too.

I also love how this mushroom house has been built into the shantytown. While it'll be good for you to have a couple more shacks, have you thought about one or two more notable "reclaimed" landmarks for the town? How much bigger do you think you're going to make this? Five shacks? Seven? Ten-ish?

Post by: DeafNala on October 29, 2013, 04:06:14 PM
Thanks, Fram...I'm glad you like it! It's hard to see, but I took your suggestion about a backdoor & added trapdoors with ladder access to the elevated shacks.

There should be quite a few more shacks going into the mix. I'd like to have a couple of tenements...stacked up shacks with connecting & suitably rickety walkways at higher levels. I could start a shack-count like the rivet counts in VSF posts. Shack Count= 3  + 1 Mushroom.

I'm not sure what you mean about be reclaimed landmarks, but it sounds interesting.

The next board over will be the Old Graveyard that the Goblins have inhabited (along with the Restless Mostly Dead). It will be a source of repurposed housing & building materials.

Post by: FramFramson on October 29, 2013, 04:15:01 PM
The tenement idea sounds great and a perfect fit.

What I meant by reclaimed is, the mushroom was clearly growing there before the shantytown sprung up, but it has clearly been "claimed" by the town and is now built into it. Maybe one or two other features that predate the town would work. An old tree with the crown sawed off supporting a higher shack, another mushroom (perhaps a "damaged" or "repaired" one? That would be new), a big rock that had to be built around, even a petrified monster (or not-so-fossilized) that has long since stopped moving. Whatever it was, it was there long before this nasty little town oozed it's way in, but wasn't strong enough to stop it.

Thanks again, Fram. I have a Tree that I've been thinking of adding; it would fit with the reclamation idea. The rock pile or a partially buried statue of immense size is also an interesting possibility.

When I have the walkways down pat, I'm going to start adding them to the Maudeheim/Goblin King board. Combats on rickety bridges 2' over the unforgiving rock floor can be exciting.

Thanks, Paul...glad you like the walkways.The tricky part with Maudhem is that the higher levels have to be removable to enable the board to be moved out of the house.

A board I did for an erstwhile friend had lots of connections to building at dizzying heights. Extra points were gained for combat depending on just how far off the ground they occurred...an incentive for the insane.

Well, an important aspect of any shantytown is the use of bits other folks have thrown away or ignored. ;)

Amen to that. Liberated material fits with my Fantasy Post Apocalypse theme AND with the Goblin persona....plus the adjoining graveyard should have all sorts of usable stuff that the occupant aren't using anymore. I'm just not sure what elements I'll add to this board.

Realizing that once the upper story shacks & scaffolding are added & the piece is snugly placed on the board getting a photo that showed the interior would be about as difficult for moi as going to Heaven, I took a few photos of the Hole In The Wall Tavern as it appears now. So here is where the Elite meet...elite what is another question:

I'm hoping to finish the whole tenement over the weekend. SO be prepared to have yet more astoundingly mediocre photos inflicted upon yourselves come Monday or there's about. In the meantime your kind comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion. The moss on the roofs is one of those things that I've meant to do/try...it certainly is an environment that would suggest moss & mold.

Needs at least one awkwardly-placed ladder (I presume this or stairs will be added after the tenement is full in place). Maybe a detail or two to make it look a little more lived in - a little junk, a line of hanging laundry, or an ugly potted plant, or something.

Other than that, hubba hubba!  :-*

Fear not: there'll be at least two ladders & connecting walkways to the other buildings. The Shanty Town is getting to the point where I can start adding all sorts of decorations, posters, candles, debris & horrid thingies occupying said debris...the FUN part of The Project.
I have the Tenement sitting in Town about where it will eventually be mounted; it looks so much better there than in the all alone photos, I'll try to put up a photo in Town tomorrow.

Thanks for the kind commentary, Fair Lady & Good Sir!

Looking good in situ so far. Really giving a good overall impression of a shantytown now!

Glad you like it. This one of those instances where the whole is greater than its components...so to speak. I'm looking forward to developments...one of the benefits of not a helluva a lot of planning is being surprised by my own work.

Awesome! I love the face on the tree that looks like he's trying to keep from falling over.

Does falling in that goo do extra damage?

Thanks again! I have to admit that doing the faces on the Trees & Mushrooms is my favorite part of The Project. The nice reactions/comments I've received are my motivation...a bit of self esteem therapy to boot.

I would imagine any contact with the Swamp Water from HELL! would cause instantaneous mutation akin to one of the scenes from RoboCop or, at the least, an enduring reek ala the Bog of Eternal Stench from Labyrinth...the mutation might be preferable to the reek.

Thanks kindly for the kind comments, Guys!  The warm responses I've received fuel The Project...without feedback the Beasty seems rather pointless.

That is a proper fantasy "goblin-town".  Wonderful.

I was hoping to give the place the feel of a Goblin's creative approach to architecture. I'm delighted you thinks I've nailed it.

This is great, so full of charm. I love these projects where your personal touch can be seen everywhere. :) :-*

I'm drawing on all the elements of Fantasy/Horror/etc & gaming that I've come to love. The conglomeration is my personal take on it all. That accounts for the strange & spooky & just plain silly; I'm not sure where the charm comes from, but it has been mention a few times...it's a comment I cherish.

As the title says, I've made some small progress the Hole-In-The-Wall Tavern & Tenement has been mounted with a walkway joining it to the rest of Shanty Town AND some ladders for easy access (if you're agile or daring), more Mushroom Guys, & the first poster....sounds more impressive when listed than viewed.

Here's the view along the water front with the new Tree & Mushrooms in the foreground. Mother Jo's new stove pipe is also in view:

I'm thinking of adding this tree to the Shanty Town...the upcoming Graveyard is another possible location:

I love how it all comes together with the walkways and ladders. It makes a nice visual maze.

I like the proportion of the tree there. I wonder what else might grow up behind the shanties too?

Thanks, Jevenkah. I'm rather pleasantly surprised at how well it's all coming together too. I'd like to get least one more stacked up shack to connect with The Hole-In-The-Wall at it's upper level. Some sort of brewing paraphernalia might be in the works also.

A little petering out of the village would work fine behind. Don't want too abrupt an end with a three-story tenement dropping to nothing, but even just one or two single shacks further inland would be enough to give a more natural effect.

LOVE the idea of another still here. That's perfect for a place like this.
Title: Re: Re: The Last Hurrah Project:Updated 11/18/13: Some Small Progress
Post by: von Lucky on November 18, 2013, 08:41:45 PM
Love it.

The big tenements can be the edge of the village, but with a natural feature (swamp, cliff, etc) bordering it.

Hmm - I have this vision of a factory or a brewery somewhere. Or a goblin sheriff/fire station!

Thanks for the kind comments, Guys!

The Still is a definite...I'm going to try to incorporate the Armor Cast Mushroom Furnace. I think the Shanty Town (or No Name City as I think of it) will spill over into the adjoining Graveyard...the Goblins are trying to re-purpose the place.

I may have mention this before, but the project is taking over what passes for my life.

Thanks, Andrew! I'm glad delighted you like The Project.
It's just about time for an update: I mounted the Mushroom Brewery today...That Famous Single Malt, Hooligan's Hooch. The fermenting tanks & furnace/oast are underway, & a coal bin was fabricated. If The Camera is cooperative, I'll have some photos up tomorrow...actually it is already tomorrow for you, but that's getting too confusing for moi.

As Hooligan's approaches completion, I thought a few photos were in order...or not. SO without further ado:

A long shot of both boards as they are now:

Thanks, Fram! Much as I'd like to take the credit, the furnace/oven is made by ArmorCast. Here's a link to the Steam Mushroom:

I also have their Steam Punk Mushroom Observatory...an equally cool piece.

That's cool, and am agreed with Fram about the mushy oven. Are those aluminium cans? They are a really good size and work well. Though I do hope there is a lot of copper work and pipes, and green oxidisation ;)

I think the face on the brewery is great, very bold of you. Will he have a straw to sample what's inside?  ;D

ArmorCast is once more responsible for the storage tanks/brewery vats. They have a line storage tanks that are tops & bottoms for soda cans of regular & large varieties plus one for Pringle's sized tubes.

The Face is part of the ooze seeping/escaping from the vats...hopefully he'll look the part when painted.

There is a definite resemblance...G.W. would at this stage loose the Hounds of Intellectual Property. I, however, probably got my shack ideas from things I've seen in real life & models; SO I'm less possessive. They really did a splendid job on their Goblin Shanty. It looks pretty sturdy & the tiled roof is quite nicely done. I wonder how well I'd do trying to sell mine...mercenary bastard that I am.

I picked up a bag of talus stones (painted silver) from Michael's Craft Store. I painted them black; did a dry brush with a medium blue; then a black ink wash; &, finally, a gloss finish.

Thanks MUCHO for all the kind replies. I am grateful for your support.

Oh, neat recipe! I thought you'd picked up some purpose-made railway model coal or something!

As usual, right after I finished the coal, Captain John informed me he had some model railroad coal...I like mine better.

Again sir Very GOOOd!!! :-* :o

Thanks for the reply, DowVooVoo. I'm glad you are enjoying the project!

Wow!

Thanks, Matt! To give credit where it's due, I got the idea for the flat top mushrooms from Fantacide's Gore Caps. AND I agree with you that there is something really creepy about them.

Don't worry about "bubble bursting"; it doesn't have to be real. In fact it gains a certain plus with moi for being a thing of imagination...I'm into Fantasy.

I've finished another tenement & I'm down to the final painting on the very last building...this one may expand on your "so weird" thoughts. Once done, I'll put up more photos. Of course, if you're in Texas, I'd be delighted to show you all the stuff first hand.

It is kind of creepy, but in a silly sort of way. At any rate, I'm delighted you liked the pieces & took the time to say so.

Thanks, Richard. Hopefully I'll have some photos of how the whole board looks by tomorrow or over the weekend. I have some ladders & stuff to add to finish it off...for the moment.

I think it was "'allo"...my friend floedebolle thinks the worm looks like the caterpillar who hangs out at the entrance to the labyrinth in the movie Labyrinth.

I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeNala

The windows were the fun part of the building. The tentacle pushing its way through the boarded up window was the start of the details on Spook's Place. The Faces reacting in horror to its emergence were next. The rest just flowed from that...I have a tendency to get carried away with things

I like the take off on the Sunset Strip quote. One of the Guys on Tom's dubbed the worm Pizza Hutt...a take off on Jabba of Star Wars fame. I guess the piece is cinematis in its fashion.

You are really carving out a signature style with this project.  The window ideas are wonderful.  I love this thread.

I'm not particularly good at copying other Folks; SO developing a style, such as it is, ogf my own was the way to go for moi.

Thanks, Duncan...see the above for neighbor status.
I also can see an improvement. The earlier Mushrooms were larger & at least a bit cruder than the new ones...they were my first real G.S. pieces. Of the older thingies, I think the Sump Man is about the best; & he was a plumber's epoxy creature.

Earlier posts didn't really illustrate the magnitude of the project, but now seeing the boards, complete with walkways and funky water ... it's a hell of a job. Love all the quirky details, and the faerie wings look delightfully frail despite the boldness of the rest of their bodies.

I, too, noticed the mushroom oven - what a perfect fit for your project! And thanks for the link ... I followed it and am now in love with the steam snail! http://armorcast.com/store/images/Snail.jpg (http://armorcast.com/store/images/Snail.jpg)

Well the guy is a 28mm mini; SO I'd figure the Beasty os maybe 3 1/2" X 3 1/2" with the smoke stack making the rear about a little higher...not awe inspiring, but cool nonetheless.

DeafNala,

I am currently in your neck of the woods (TX and FL), and I'm seeing your inspiration for your work everywhere. In the theme parks in Orlando there was Harry Potter and the ET rides at Universal (weird and wonderful), to the flora in these states (beatiful yet slightly sinister) that really makes me think of this thread.

Keep it coming - I'm looking forward to what you create in 2014.

Thanks for the kind word, Jevenkah! I'm delighted you are enjoying my little creations.

A couple of the boards made a tour of shops in Austin on New Year's Eve. They got quite a nice reaction at the modeling store. The minis/gaming/comis book store, Dragon's Lair, was interested in seeing them at all...who can figure?

I have a few tenement memories from various places also...mostly fond ones.

Dangit, for a second I thought there was an update!  lol

Sorry about that, Fram. An update is overdue. I've been procrastinating about taking closeups of the Shanty Town & adding the last few details. With the latest shot of motivation, I try to get up some pic over the next couple of days.

There we go! Glad to see everything's on the way. The wood and textures are really beautiful close up :D

I think for suggestions, the area shown in your first & second photos could use just a dash more personality. Not a lot, or else gamplay would be impeded, but perhaps some debris in a crook between buildings, or maybe some odd fetishes or trinkets (small stuff) nailed or tied to the support beams or the front of a house?

Or another idea would be anything to distinguish the shacks from the front - how would the residents mark their dwellings? Crude numbers or nameplates? Little pictures or ornaments? A "No peddlars" sign on someone's door?

Whatever you do, have fun with it!
 
A sign for Mid Way would be good too (or maybe there is one and I just missed it?).

EDIT: Holy Christmas, this thread's 100 pages now!  :o

Thanks for the suggestions & kind reply, Fram. The signs are a definite along with some barrels (already painted & ready to mount...on the board that is). I have some candles on poles to scatter about & some for The Tree. A hand holding a head (for the view) will probably be added to the graves...scenery is never really finished.

One of the things I love about this forum is the unlimited pages you can accumulate in a thread. On Google Forums, when you hit 46 pages, the thread is closed at 40 & a new thread starts with the last 6 pages. I have a couple of multipart threads on Tom's Boring Mordhiem Forum...it's annoying.

All the details look great, but those mushrooms in the graveyard caught my eye.
Very nice indeed!  :-*

Thanks, Paul! The Graveyard Mushrooms have become favorites with moi also. I have a couple of them with faces that will probably go by one of the graves.

Do your denizens "collect" anything? I love the brass knockers on the doors and I was reminded of birds that collect shiny things for their nests, following along Fram's thoughts of individualism of the hovels.

It's looking Great!

I would imagine that the Goblins are attracted to/fond of shiny things..OOOH SHINY.
The door knockers/handles (multipurposing) are styrene sheet plastic, paper punched circles with eye pins & jump rings from the jewelry section of my craft store. Online eebeads has some GREAT & useful jewelry bits including watch parts for steam punking:

I play with a variety of 28s by several different manufacturers (G.W., West Wind, Reaper, Wyrd, et al) with some conversions for variety sake. Most of the stuff is set up for Mordheim, but I'm thinking of doing some Chaos in Carpathia Crews.

Excellent.

I'll do my best to build on the interesting aspects of The Project. There'll be at lest 3 more boards...I have enough bases for a total of 18. Then there's the matter of populating the place.

I'm going to have to make a Lamp/Candle Lighter...something suitably silly. I also started on the signs yesterday & I received an apple core mold from my friend floedebolle; SO there should be some updates soon. This is taking over my life, but there wasn't much going on otherwise.

Thanks, Guys! I'm glad you're enjoying the progress...such as it is.

I've been doing candles for awhile now out of various materials (these are Green Stuff mostly). For quite some time they were mostly a golden, bees waxish shade. Then one of my Wicca Witchy friends told me her preference for purple spell candles was because she thought they were sexier...most of my candles have since been purple.

Thanks, Constable B.! There has been a fair amount of love in the mix.
The apple cores are casting up surprisingly pretty well. The paint part will hopefully go as well once I figure out how to hold the little suckers while painting...a pin may figure in the process.

As I'm finishing the last little things for The Shanty Town, I've started thinking of The Graveyard...the miniature one that is. I did up the first two residents...the Camera of Continual Contrariness only cooperated on one photo. SO here's what the new Neighbors look like...kind of:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/DSCN2235-001.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/DSCN2235-001.jpg.html)

I'm thinking of making the Graveyard multilevel with a Catacomb Board under the Graveyard & possibly a cutaway Tower for access. What do you think?

That's the idea; the Catacombs will be a separate board or possibly two that sits under the Graveyard board. If it works I could extend it under the Shanty Town, maybe the Isles & the other boards as well. With a diminishing amount of space available, going down seems a good alternative.

Another thing I might work on is scenery pieces for photography. When I took the new mini pics, I realized that all the cool little things I used as background were now permanent parts of the boards.

I think the main appeal for moi is all those years that I played AD&D & never convince the crew I played with that a scenic board would be cooler for the game than all the bowls of chips & dips.

I wasn't familiar with Diablo; SO I checked it out on Board Game Geeks...looks cool.

Sir, you are an artist :-*

Thanks, M.P.! That was a very nice thing to say. Funny thing is a week or so back, Capt. John & I took a couple of the boards around to a few shops for viewing. One of the enthusiastic responses I got was from a Lady running an Art Gallery...now that was a morale boost.

The chips and dips and 2-liter bottles of soda are hard to compete with, for some strange reason. We're lucky to have the space to confine the edibles to an entirely separate table.

Thanks, Jevenkah...I wish the other photos had turned out. I haven't given up on them just yet; so there may be some closeups eventually.
Adding the little details, like the candle & The Watch is the most enjoyable part of a scenery project for moi...I'm glad you are enjoying it.

How are the apple cores coming? They sound deliciously perfect for refuse.

The mold my friend, Ben aka floedebolle, sent makes 4 cores in one shot. So far I have 10 done, 4 underway, & 2 dropped. The dropped ones were immediately sucked into that part of the Ethereal Plane normally inhabited by missing socks.

The idea to build down is an exciting one. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

The idea has me pretty excited also. I hope it works out.
Doing a series of Dungeon Boards would also be cool. AND, being flat would mean they could be mailed to Folks...I love sending out packages.

The chips and dips and 2-liter bottles of soda are hard to compete with, for some strange reason. We're lucky to have the space to confine the edibles to an entirely separate table.

A separate table was once proposed, but not to make room for a proper board & terrain. One of the regulars, Buddy, had a way of tossing his dice than invariably had them landing in the dips, salsa, someone's beverage, etc.. Only laziness prevented the separation of game & food.

That is awesome! Congrats!

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2266.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2266.jpg.html)

The Drop of the Pure Tavern (purveyor of Holigan's Hooch):
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2268.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2268.jpg.html)

AND a personable Mushroom by the Downtown Shabby Arms:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2277.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2277.jpg.html)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2291.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2291.jpg.html)

As details are added to the Isles & the Shanty Town further photos will be added. The Graveyard, Catacombs, & an old W.I.P. loom on the horizon...well they're sitting anxiously by/on my work table to be more accurate & less dramatic.
Comments & critiques are, as always, most welcome.

I do believe that there is more personality in this one project that in all the minis releases of 2013 combined.

Can't wait!

I can't either...SO I started on the Graveyard. Thus far just fixing some dings along the edges & touching up the black trim, but it's underway. I have a couple of ideas for characters to wander the boards, some pieces for photo backgrounds, etc. roiling around my brain & disturbing all that dust.

I do believe that there is more personality in this one project that in all the minis releases of 2013 combined.

Thanks for the compliment...I'll give it my best shot living up to it.

Hahaha, a gypsy fortune tellers house! That's awesome. Beware the curse, beware!! Hahaha.

I could just imagine figs that get close enough have to roll to see if they were cursed and suffer negative effects that round. ;)

The details are superb, and Fram is right! More character, charm, and intrigue than anything else.

Thanks for the kind & motivating reply, Matt! That's quite a jolt of motivation.
I think an early over exposure to the Marx Brothers & Bugs Bunny is to blame for it all. That aside I'll try to keep it amusing & entertaining as I go along.

That black & dry brushed white is only my primer coat. I should have said W.I.P. & not "finished"...someday I'll learn...or not. The ground will match up to the other boards; I'm not sure how I'll go with the stonework yet.

All that aside, thanks for the reply, GS! I'm glad you like it & I'll fix the intro to the photos to avoid further confusion.

You're welcome!

The stonework looks a lot like clay bricks to me. That would suggest some reddish tone for them. Maybe something like what we call "Klinker" in northern Germany:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Klinkerfassade.jpg/220px-Klinkerfassade.jpg)
As you notice, the bricks are in various states of baking. Some burnt, some not so.
You might know that from the british isles as well. We tend not to have enough field stones where I live to build houses ord walls from.

Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project:Updated 2/09/14: Mausoleum W.I.Ps
Post by: DeafNala on February 09, 2014, 09:32:04 PM
While I'm waiting for the Green Stuff to dry, I though posting a couple of progress photos might be in order to maintain interest...whose interest is another matter. I've been doing up a couple of Mausoleums. Initially I was thinking of adding a Mordheim Gargoyle from G.W.; after a moment of thought, I decided to do my own...the plastic part was just too twinky.

So here's how the board looks so far:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2306.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2306.jpg.html)

AND a look at the Green Stuffing (the Fellow to the right is Seedy Jon Apfel, Serial Killer & Man About Town):
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2305.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2305.jpg.html)

Seedy Jon is a combination of G.W.Empire Militia & Zombie parts with a Lead Adventure Mini head. His kill signature is a discarded apple core or two.

As always I would be delighted to hear your comments & critiques...for the most part.

I like the stone work DeafNala, especially the crumbling retaining wall. The mausoleums look spot on for size and shape.

The cemeteries I have been to have large statues of angels/mary, and lots of crosses. Perhaps you could put a perverted/scary looking angel in somewhere?

The gargoyle looks a little flat, but he has a cute face. Does he need protruding canine teeth and a deeper snout?

Just my 2 cents Deafnala, but you were fishing for ideas, so if you dont like em, throw them back in the sea of imagination. :D

Cheers
Matt

Love the crumbly look so far. Can't wait to see things with a lick of colour on 'em. Is the apple-core killer due for more paint or is he supposed to be white like that?

Thanks for the feedback, Matt. Actually the Gargoyle is probably a misnomer...he was meant to be a more substantial version of the rather small & flat leering face that G.W. made for a Mordheim building decoration...there will, however, be things coming out of the walls. I think I'll do the fangs you suggested on the next face...later today.

The cemetery opposite my Grandma's house was an old one like you described...full of Angels & elaborate gravestones...a GREAT hide-&-seek spot. I'll be shooting for something similar with a few dead &/or creepy trees thrown in for good measure.

Thanks, Fram...glad you like it so far.

I have a couple sets of Renedra Gravestones..SO there will be some traditional graveyard pieces, although somewhat modified.
I'm looking forward to the painting also. Seedy Jon is just primed other than some initial work on the base.

Full of that distinct 'DeafNala look'.

I like what you did with Seedy John too.
He is going to be a very interesting character when he is done, and should fit int the neighbourhood perfectly.

Thanks MUCHO, Matt...that's the reaction I was hoping for! The Project has come to the point where each new addition gives me an idea for another. SO hopefully there will be lots of strange little additions in the near & distant future.

Thanks, LordOdo! I'm happy with the feel of the place. The surreal effect creates a slightly disturbing, spooky feel with out being overtly horrifying.

As I may have mentioned, my friend, Ben aka floedebolle, sent me an apple core mold. SO I've cranked out 14 apple cores with two that have been sucked into the Ethereal Plane & three uneaten, home grown apples. A couple will go on Seedy Jon's base & the rest scattered at the crime scenes.
The idea for the name came from the American Folk Hero Johnny Apple Seed, I just switched the parts around & got the German word for apple; voila, Seedy Jon Apfel is born...so to speak.

;D dubious huh? with all due respect..."bite my shiny metal butt"
      it is as all your others an excellent piece and in my opinion is just continuing   
      proof of your artistic competence.

Thanks, Gun bunny. Actually the deprecating "dubious" remark is just a reference to my hit & miss photography methods. I usually blame the whole thing on my Demonically Possessed Camera. That aside, I'm glad you're enjoying The Project. I'm rather surprise how well it's all coming together.

Very Disney-esque; it's like being at The Haunted Mansion!  lol

Thanks, grant. Disney's backgrounds are works of art, especially in some of his older films, to my mind. Any comparison to them & my pieces is quite a compliment.

I dig the gargoyle.  He fits in well, and I can't help but be reminded of a scene from "Labyrinth."  Another excellent piece of work. 

Thanks, hjorhrafn. I love Jim Henson work in Labyrinth. The similarities are intended. I'm grateful they turned out well enough to be recognizable.

I went through my twig collection yesterday & found the perfect, I hope, dead tree to add to the Graveyard. SO soon it may be perched above the crumbling retaining wall.

You're missing the side view. From the top, your key chain would look like my apple core, &, conversely, from the side my apple core looks like you key chain. SO, just because you're such a fine fellow, here's a side view of a few more apple cores & a couple of yet-to-be-bitten apples:

If you hadn't mentioned it, I probably wouldn't have taken the apple core photo; AND it's proving to be a pretty popular pic...especially with Ben, the Guy who made the original apple cores & the mold. SO thanks for pointing out the squashed look in the Crypt photo.

SO as threatened, here are a couple TRULY MEDIOCRE photos of the ever suave & debonaire Seedy Jon Apfel:

Thanks, Jevenkah! I'll pass the word along to floedebolle. The apple cores are proving to be a universal favorite wherever I post the pics.

God, don't get into a dark alley with that man!

That probably is a wise move...of course dark alleys don't tend to be favorite hangouts with most Folk. Seedy Jon does look dangerous...it's good when a plan comes together.

Thanks, Princess. There is something appealing about trap doors...a touch of mystery perhaps.
The apple  cores are proving popular. I'm casting up a few for a Fellow over on Wamp. AND as a kill signature they should be fun to leave strewn about the boards.

They certainly are! What an interesting thought ... Never would have thought apple cores would be used in such a fashion, but this scenario certainly calls for them, doesn't it? ;)

Post by: DeafNala on February 19, 2014, 05:35:24 PM
This is a quick peak at The Graveyard Tree & what may be the next board. Once more the photos leave a lot to be desired, but the general idea is conveyed fairly well. Future posting will be in more detail if not in greater photographic elegance. SO...

The Tree:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2385.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2385.jpg.html)

With Seedy Jon for size comparison:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2368.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2368.jpg.html)

AND Seedy Jon...you don't argue with The Man & his knife:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2372.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2372.jpg.html)

I decided to rework the pieces from the Maudeheim Board onto smaller boards (ones that could fit through the door). I'm experimenting with a Smuggler's Cove, one with that Mordheim feel:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2363.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2363.jpg.html)

Your comments & critiques would be appreciated...especially your thoughts on the new board.

The Faces are a definite...there are three on the far side of the Leaning Tavern with more to come. I intend to add a series of shanties/buildings both intact & ruined with a connecting maze of walkways at varying heights. It should connect to the Isles Board possibly via an intervening board.

Thanks for all the motivating comments...they are appreciated.

As to the Tree: this one & the Tree of Wohoo on the Shanty Town board are the lower portions of Yew bushes. They're extremely tough & have a splendid grain to them...I just painted them a dark greyish brown (2:1 American Bittersweet Chocolate & Black) with a couple drybrushes of the dark brown plus honey brown & lastly with some desert sand added to that mix. Sagebrush, aka tumbleweed, makes even cooler trees.

I'm Glad you are making the boards to fit through your door, that's a useful feature DeafNala. :)

It is a plus. I've moved around quite a few times in my life...leaving something behind because it wouldn't fit through the door would be cruel.

It's going to be time soon to see all the boards (so far) lined up, you know.  ;D

We have a table outside that may be just the perfect size for a Group Portrait. I'll have to check it out.

Thanks for the kind reply, Andrew! The Leaning Tavern was made when I was still living on Long Island...more than 4 years ago. It was a spin off on a commissioned Mordheim style game board. The board was a 4' X 4' affair that was filled with ruins of dizzying heights connected at various heights by rickety walkways; four of them were drinking establishments, with one in each corner. Each Tavern had a team of swashbucklers who would duel with one or more of the other Taverns...extra points were awarded for high altitude combats.

The Group Shots will get taken as soon as space & weather permit. Aside from making everyone happy, it will give me a better idea of how it all works together.
Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project:Updated 2/26/14: Something Irrelevant
Post by: DeafNala on February 26, 2014, 12:34:18 PM
The way I normally go about things is to make a base for a mini, mount the mini on the base, AND then prime/paint. This formula went fine right through the mount mini stage. It was then I discovered the mini was too maxi to work on the base...I mounted the maxi mini on a lower, sturdier base.

HOWEVER, since I thought the base was cool, I continued to work on it while I mulled over a possible mini to mount. Well...I'm still mulling, but the base is done. SO I thought I'd show you where we stand thus far:

From the top:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/DSCN2397.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/DSCN2397.jpg.html)

getting closer:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/DSCN2393.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/DSCN2393.jpg.html)

& closer still:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/DSCN2406.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/DSCN2406.jpg.html)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/DSCN2407.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/DSCN2407.jpg.html)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/DSCN2408.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/DSCN2408.jpg.html)

For the curious in the group, this is the maxi mini. I planning to add a sign to the base like the one to the left...it's there for reference/inspiration:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/DSCN2409.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/DSCN2409.jpg.html)

For The Base, I'm thinking of either adding L.A.M's Shakespeare (a Bard with book & lance mounted on a Pig sporting a fez) & entourage, or a Freilancer with Squire a la Don Quixote. The possibility of having to make another similar base seems to becoming more imminent.

As usual your comments would be most welcome...for the most part.

If you mean the Giant, he's only primer coated. I dry brush white over a thin black base coat as my primer. Shakespeare, Don Quixote, & the Giant will all be done in my usual bright(garish) colors.

Viewed from the side, Mongo's feet dangle a 1/4 of an inch above the road; AND he's riding the Beasty in a conventional manner....Giants do have a bad reputation.

I'm now planning on making a small two sided puppet stage for doing photos of minis with one side being an Underground Scene & the other a Spooky Woods Setting. The newly touched up Mushrooms should figure large in both.

Love it! Muppet Stalagmites!  lol

Actually it's amazing how much expression you're able to get out of these things with one eye and a few whorls.

Thanks, DowVooVoo...I'm delighted you like the stuff.
Keep at it; eventually you'll find your own thing...it took me a few decades to stumble across mine.

Love it! Muppet Stalagmites!  lol

Actually it's amazing how much expression you're able to get out of these things with one eye and a few whorls.

While it may not be done consciously, the Muppets do seem to be my main influence.
As to the expressions, I thinks that as a lip reader I have gotten in the habit of reading peoples faces; it's easier than just concentrating on lip movement...that actually sounded plausible to moi.

These are fantastic!!

Your style reminds me of Anton Pieck, a Dutch painter

Thanks for the pics & lead; I'll have to Google Anton Pieck...I can use the inspiration. The Old Guy in the second picture bears a striking resemblance to moi.

Are they going to the picture show?  ;)

I wasn't sure if anyone would get the reference...it's good to know The Rocky Horror Show is still popular. Maybe I could do that Big Carnivorous Weed.

Oh yeah! Good call on Anton Pieck. My copy of the Arabian Nights was illustrated by him and now that you mention it, I can see the resemblance.

I also recently got Edward Gorey as a comparison...he's got some delightfully, macabre pieces. Looking up Gorey also got me a reference to Charles Addams of The Addams Family New Yorker cartoons.

For more 'fantasy' pictures search 'Anton Pieck Efteling'
The Efteling is theme park in the Netherlands based on his fairy tales paintings, and it's build fully in his style.. (At least in the beginning.. ;) )

After yet another diversion, I've returned to The Graveyard...craftwise that is...with the addition of two more Crypts:

The final(?) resting places of Father Frickle, the lecherous Priest, & the Dread Demento, Necromancer most Foul:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2430.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2430.jpg.html)

The interior of Demento's Crypt:

The side of the much maligned Father Frickle's Crypt, I've yet to decide on interior details...suggestions are welcome:

AND The Graveyard with its new additions:

Regarding the interior of Father Frickle's resting place. How about an animal (cat?) or flagon or playing cards. Something to confuse the gamer.

If I combine the playing cards with the Play Ghoul mags & pin ups, blanket, & Teddy Bear suggested elsewhere & add a coffee pot & ash tray, it would look like a daytime hide-away.

There's a rather famous painting of a group of dogs playing cards...looked like poker as I recall. Maybe a cat familiar could be encouraged to play a hand or two of gin rummy...or not.

With the completion of the first Mausoleum, it seemed like a few more TRULY MEDIOCRE photos were in order. SO:

The Graveyard as it looks now...well actually as it looked a few minutes ago which is pretty close to now:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2472.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Spooky%20Woods/DSCN2472.jpg.html)

The Mausoleum of Lamprey:

The interior:

Inside the Crypt:

The second Mausoleum is finished & primed. When painted, I'll inflict further photos upon you. In the meantime, your comments would be appreciated...cherished.

Thanks MUCHO for the kind reply, Doomsdave. Having someone like yourself tell me they enjoy my creepy creations is what motivates me to continue, although I will admit to being a bit on the stubborn side.
It would be cool to say that I consciously developed my "style", but after a lot of years plugging along, everything just fell into place...sort of the beam of light thing. I consider it a blessing.

Well it's ALL Bill Gates' fault! He, personally, stopped supporting my Windows XP. Ergo, I had to convert to Windows 7, which used up all my Gigs for the month + 1; the Windows 7 used 6.66 Gigs by itself...does that number, 666, give you an idea of the diabolical nature of The Man?

All that aside, tomorrow I should have my new monthly Gig allowance. AND all the Mausoleums, Crypts, & Tombstone, haunted or plain. are finished & mounted on the board. The Statue of St. Lascivious, Patron Saint of Ladies of the Evening & Procurers, is likewise finished & mounted. The remains of the Goblin liberated wall & semi-intact Gate are finished. Only the Chapel is a W.I.P./just started piece. SO, I should be putting up LOTS of photos over the next day or two...maybe.

Thanks, Paul; as always I'm happy you like the stuff!
Getting the colors to look like they actually do is a challenge, one I rarely succeed at. In most of the photos I've come pretty close...loud colors could account for the number of Living Impaired Folk. When I picked up the mini for St Lascivious, I got two; re, one for the statue & one of be wandering around in his present state of undeath.

Wow! :o

Thanks, Skrapwelder...glad you like it.

That looks fantastic DeafNala! The level of detail you pack in is fantastic (read eye door) and there is so much character (read statue and tombstones) in the build. Well done! I too like the vibrant colours, they sing. :) the gate is pretty fab as well.

What is the green slime? Are the locals putting on a slip-n-slide??? ;)

Thanks, again Matt!
The idea for the door came from the window on Spook's Place in the Shanty Town; AND the Haunted Tombstones just follow along with the Mushrooms.
I have another of the Reaper mini (02310 St Tarkus) I used for the St Lascivious Statue; Lascivious will be around keeping the pigeons away from his statue.
The slime is actually supposed to be moss, although slime would work as well considering the neighborhood. There is a lot of that sort of moss growing in terraced formations around here.
The vivid colosr just come naturally for me...it may be yet another sign of imminent senility.

That eye door is insanity given shape. The whole thing is brilliant and well worth the wait!

AND thanks again to you also, Fram! Your continued support of The Project is much appreciated. I thought the door was pretty nuts also...I try to maintain only a tenuous hold on Reality...at best.

:-* That graveyard is fantastic. Why you gotta be on the other side of the world to me?  lol I'd love a game on it.

Thanks, Diakon! Sometimes I'm convinced that everyone I'm fond of is on the other side of the World...it would explain the low density of population here in Texas.

Thanks, pocoloco...I needed a bit of motivation this morning.
The place looks REALLY EERIE by candle light. When I start introducing the Denizens, I'll try to do some darker, atmospheric photos.
I can imagine an ongoing argument between the Tombstones & the Mushrooms punctuated by an occasional shriek.

You wouldn't happen to have those flickering electrical candles (seen those sold by the Warlord Games, amoung others)... could create nice eerie light inside a catacomb or hovel by the graveyard.

I'll give the dimly lit photos a try when the Mushrooms are all in...the first group got planted earlier this morning.

I'll also check out the flickering lights. They would be perfect as you say for the Catacombs...may be a Mad Scientist's underground laboratory...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Actually haunted Mushrooms, Doors, Tombstones, et al seem weird merely because they are weird, but it is fun & the surrealistic effect makes it eerie/spooky which is what I was striving for.

Another step up towards the glorious existence of sheer and utter madness. And I love every step of it. I'm sure once you are finished with this whole project you will either:

- rule the world
- show us the real meaning of reality
- find out that you are actually a strange combination of the paintings of Dali, the music of the Doors and other unspeakable ingredients.

Whatever it will be, I'm sure it'll be supercool...  :D

So you like Jefferson Airplane. Now tell me which pill did you take? The one that makes you larger or the one that makes you smaller? I think it was the one that makes you smaller and that you're still taking them and tripping into the fantastical worlds you create.

I like the idea of Vampire shrooms and perhaps you should add a goblin smoking a hookah lol

I had to think about that one foe a moment. I think I would go for the smaller. Of course some costumes to fit into the scenery would be necessary...it conjures up all sorts of fantastic adventuring images.

I like the idea of Vampire shrooms and perhaps you should add a goblin smoking a hookah lol

NOW THAT'S AN IDEA! I have a couple of hookahs, in miniature that is, I made for part of a commission project. AND I could make a really big mushroom for him to sit on...maybe someone to keep him company. This could be a cool display piece.

Here's an example of using larger Mushroom as scenic props:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/WHFB/Goblins/Barf%20OBilge%20Bounding%20Boys/BarfOBilgesBoundingBoys-Detail01.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/WHFB/Goblins/Barf%20OBilge%20Bounding%20Boys/BarfOBilgesBoundingBoys-Detail01.jpg.html)

My Night Goblins were all standing on, hiding behind, leaning against, or, in this case, bounding over Big Mushrooms. That's a closeup of Barf O'Bilge's Bounding Boys.

I love the combination of the fungi with the fun goblins.

And the graveyard is looking smashing! The pictures came out pretty themselves too. Dimly lit photos are a bit of a challenge; one piece of advice I would offer when trying that is to make use of a tripod/stack of books and the timer on the camera. If ever I've seen a game board I would be afraid to be in a dimly lit room with, it would be yours! Wear some garlic when you set up those shots.

Loving it all,

Thanks, Jevenkah. I'm glad to see you're still enjoying the Project.
Mushrooms & Goblins do make a good, if somewhat bizarre combination...is that White Rabbit I hear?

Fear not: The Denizens of the Graveyard live in fear of the Camera of Continuous Contrariness & its Evil Lens...who knows what horrid images await the long suffering subjects?

Since the last batch of photos, I've added a few patches of Mushrooms around the board. AND, as we speak, I'm gluing down shingles to the ruined Chapel on the Hill. The basic modeling is done; & the Beasty is painted black. I'm hoping to have the roof & the white dry brush done before the first pitch in the Braves/Phillies game...hopefully.

Great stuff.

Thanks, Guys!! The two units of Goblins & Squigs were done about ten years ago, when I was briefly interested in the possibilities of playing War Hammer. I still have all the other units, but these two were sold on eBay for a ridiculously low amount of $s. Still they are hopefully getting in some game time, which was the main reason for selling them. The photos were done by my friend Edwin "Mordheimer".

This hobby is a sisyphosian struggle. But an enjoyable one.  lol

Thanks, Diakon...glad you like it thus far.
The green stuff is meant to be moss. However, the general consensus seems to lean towards slime...the green part remains consistent.

Toward the end of the day L.A.F. went into one of those non responsive phases. Today I sign in to some wonderful replies. Life is good...especially considering the alternative.

DeafNala - the human mind can think of anything. Yours just happens to have found the key that unlocks the east wing's attic space. Nice work!

Thanks, von Lucky! The attic space is an excellent analogy; it would explain all the cobwebs.

Awesome! Another board finished in grand style.

What's next?

Thanks, Fram...it's good to know your still with me & enjoying the ride.
I still have some puttering around with this one & the other boards as well. However, I've started thinking about some smaller pieces: four 1' squares for the subterranean areas that the trap doors lead to. One of those will be a laboratory...insert spooky B Horror Movie music here. I also want to start populating the boards; I have some interesting conversions I'd like to try along with some straight(?) mini painting.

Looking great!  :-*

Thanks, Michka. Most of my gaming has been solo over the last decade. Although I have plans for the, these boards have yet to see a game.

Phenomenal! Everything is awesome, but I love the details in the burnt-out house. The smoke damage is fantastic. What is casting spells in there? And what does it's secret place hidden underneath look like? It's amazing how you put so much character into your terrain that it can tell a story all by itself.

The metal roofs of the mausoleums are sweet. I like the color contrast of those and the stone walk way with the building stone material.

Always exciting to see a "finished" board from you!

Thanks for your ever-kind comments, Jevenkah! Replies are always a morale boost for moi AND that really made my day. SO just for you, here's a bit of an update; here's what The Shanty Town & Graveyard look like together:

One thing I love about this is that there's enough going on on each board for you to be able to have an interesting game even on just a single one.
Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project:Updated 5/02/14: Shanty Town & Graveyard Together
Post by: DeafNala on May 03, 2014, 12:04:33 AM
Thanks Fram...glad you're still with me in this thing!
The initial idea was to have a series of boards that were connected without necessarily being adjacent; i.e., the boards were points of interest that might be separated by nondescript areas that didn't warrant modeling. It wound up with Heep's Place & the first Spooky Woods section & the Graveyard/Shanty Town/Isles working well in combination, although they could be used as one off skirmish boards.
Now I feel like I should be doing photo stories using the boards as stage settings for the miniatures...roll 'em.

Thanks, Constable B! I'm glad you are enjoying all the details...that's my favorite part also.
There are some barrels, a door, the recognizable minis, & the natural stuff that I didn't make, but all the rest of it is from scratch. I think that's part of what makes this project special for moi; it all comes from my own twisted imagination.

Thanks, pocoloco! Glad you like the Group. While most of my stuff is very ad lib, I did make sure to have the roads/walkways connect at a universal point for the joining up thing. When you're not sure where you're going, a link to tie things together is helpful...this is my trail of bread crumbs approach.

How many will you be making besides the current five?

To be honest I haven't a clue how many more will eventually be made. When I spotted the pre-cut 2' squares I'm now using, I picked up sixteen of them...I'm nothing if not enthusiastic...& I had about six others of similar size already in some stages of preparation. That's potentially twenty two more boards.
I have four trapdoors in the Graveyard; SO there will be at least four subterranean boards of undetermined size; i.e, I have four 1' squares cut, but I've been toying with the idea of four 2' squares that were somehow linked...the ever popular tunnel is the main link idea. Another Spooky Woods & a Smuggler's Cove are definite possibilities. A somewhat sleazy Renaissance Fair/Circus has been considered....you get the idea by now that plan is that the final board should coincide with my final breath.

It does flow in a natural way. A natural setting seems to make the bizarre elements stranger still. I'd love to say I planned it that way, but it was just the way things serendipitously worked out. I just need a bit more room to complete the mountain to shore transition...an aircraft hangar would do.

Amazing terrain in a very personal style! Now you'll need miniatures to go along besides your goblins, have you considered Nemesis range?

Thanks, Arthadan.
I'll probably do some modification on the minis at hand...there are quite a lot of them. HOWEVER, the allure of the shinies is always present. Do you have a link to the Nemesis line?

Thanks, White Knight...I'm delighted you like the stuff thus far. I have the opposite problem; i.e., I find it nearly impossible to tone my stuff down to subtle muted shades...I have a natural Carnival approach to color choices.

Thanks, Diakon. The RPG idea or a hard fought advance/strategic withdrawal/ambush would all work with a long board. Adding side boards & underground points of interest would add further possibilities. Be that as it may, I'm glad you like the stuff.

Thanks for the enthusiastic response, Constable B.! That was a major up for moi.
There will be further updates, new boards, & a horde of minis forthcoming.

This is one of those rare times I had to leave the flash uncovered...there isn't anyway of shutting it off that doesn't involve violence. Without the flash the photos were much too dark too see anything; with it, the colors are somewhat off. C'est la vie, eh?!

The Bad Mood was an impromptu thing. I had made a crescent shape out of foam quite some time ago. When I thought about using it as a Chapel symbol, I imagined it transforming into an evil, leering visage over time. I'm glad you like it!

DeafNala here you are some examples from the Nemesis range by Zenit Miniatures:
I can picture the Orphans in your forest and the "Not Alive" roaming your crypts.

Thanks, Arathadan! Now that I see them I recognize the minis. They do have an UBERCOOL range of pieces. The Orphans have a lot of appeal to moi & I l love their approach to the mostly dead Folk. I will have to see if anyone over here carries them.


That looks amazing!!!  :-*

Thanks, Dr. Viking! I'm glad, as a kindred spirit, you like it.

Now in proper butterfly spirit, play just one game on it and throw it all out.  ;D

The flitting does sound a lot like moi...getting in a game, other than a solo one, then moving on is very  like me. I don't trash things though...you should see my closets, but I would give them away.

Just Brilliant! That is a gargantuan outcome!

I love how if one was 25/28/32 mm tall it would take plenty of walking to traverse the set-up because of the way each board has its own rambling path. While they all fit together, there's no straight line of street to zip the eye through the fun. Rather the landmarks and interesting bits force the traveler to take notice of almost each square inch. There is so much happening on each board, and none of them competes overmuch with their neighbor. (Freaky, that just gave me the mental image of a hoard of your mushrooms throwing themselves against the faces on the mausoleum.)

Awe-inspiring again! Thanks so much for sharing it all!

I never had the idea of playing on this. For me its existence is enough. It's possibly the most expressive tabletop I've ever seen. Just looking at it, exploring it visually and finding new and exciting little extras around each corner is really all that matters to me. It's both highly disturbing, yet at the same time oddly comforting to look at. Like a good trip...  ;D

Thanks for the VERY kind comments, Jevenkah! It really has been a pleasure posting photos of The Project & receiving such wonderful responses...it's rather humbling & uplifting simultaneously. I'd love to say I planned it all out, but things just developed all on their own as I worked on them; it's a long & pleasant accident.
I imagine all sorts of things happening on the boards when no one is watching. This may be another sign of imminent senility.

Thanks, Doomhippie. I always enjoy your comments.
To be honest, I haven't though of gaming on the boards so much as using them for narrative photos of various minis. Populating the place with all sorts of strange but interesting characters is going to be a very good trip.
The unnatural nature of the place is disturbing, at least, in so far as it challenges preconceptions of what is natural. Having a Mushroom start a conversation could be upsetting but not necessarily threatening...unless the conversation gets into politic, religion, or sports that is.

Somehow I missed this forever and had a proper jaw dropping moment at just how awesome that layout was. Truly a labor of love and exceptional work.

Thanks again, Bob...glad you are enjoying it all. You summed up my motivation for The Project nicely. It's all the aspects of Fantasy/Horror stories, movies, & games that I've come to love lumped into a big surreal lump.

Fa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-n-n-n-n-n-n-tastic.

Thanks, Fram! The assassin is a Bombshell Babe mini...until I received her from Anne, I was unfamiliar with the line.

Thanks, Matt. Making the terrain created the ideas for it's inhabitants; things in The Project tend to create other things to do.  Actually I pictured the Girls, like Seedy Jon, are a more motivated form of living impaired folk from my Ravenloft days called revenants...you got to admire an undead Chick who takes pride in her appearance. As such, I though they should have a healthier look.

Dee Dee and the Foxx Sisters are the scariest figures I've seen all week. That's saying something because I spent a couple hours looking through the Cthulhu threads a couple days ago.
Terrific painting once again. 

I agree; there is something truly disturbing about the Girls; being undead Ladies of the Evening along with the appearance that entails is fairly upsetting, but there is something beyond that. Be that as it may, I am glad you like the way they turned out, Michka!

Wowie!! I'm in love with Anne :-*

Does she have to fight all these other (beautifully painted) maniacs on her own?  :'(

I think our Anne O'Leary did a WONDERFUL job on her namesake mini myself. She, the namesake that is, is Jon's associate &, as such, part of the Crew, although the in fighting could get ugly.

Thanks, Paul. Anne gave me the idea for the Rotten Belles by commenting about Seedy Jon's bevy of admirers.
Assassin Anne does fit very nicely with the Crew. I think its the cold, blue, Putin like eyes.

There is so much liveliness in your undead, I had to scroll through twice to see that Seedy Jon was (I think?) the only one who moved. You used a great set of photos to showcase your creations!

That second shot is particularly interesting. The statue in the foreground looms over everything for a nice framing effect.

Great Great Great!

Thanks for the enthusiastic reply, Jevenkah. That was a spirit lifting jolt of motivation.
Madame Dee Dee has been an inspiration, among other things, to all her Girls...& a few Guys.
I would like to say that the second photo was the result of much thought & planning, but that would be a falsehood of monumental proportions. Like most of my better photos, it was purely accidental. HOWEVER, once the unliving, St Lascivious is painted having him strolling beneath his statue will be something that may be stage with some care...then taken impromptu for a better result. I'd love to come up with a way the have some smoldering pigeons strewn lifelessly around the statue.

Funny thing is I have thought of the folk for the various boards in terms of good & bad until now. There will be some that fit more into the good description & some that are definitely of an evil nature...it's all a matter of perspective.

I can sympathise with DeafNala on this one. Whenever I sit down to paint a "Good" miniature like an elf or something I look at my leadpile and pick up a skeleton or goblin instead.  :D
I'm a nice guy in real life but I really love "bad guys" in gaming.

I blame it partially on AD&D; i.e., from those campaigns I D.Med, I developed a certain empathy for the unfortunate monsters that had the misfortune of having something the Adventurers wanted/needed/coveted,; partially on a more forgiving outlook on things that old age brings, but mostly on George Bush.

After several pages of other things, I'm happy (relieved) to say Mungo Hammertoe, Bob the Blue Ox, & Spook the Talking Wonder Skull are FINALLY done. AND here are some TRULY AWFUL Photos of the Terrible Trio:

From a distance:

...Spook the Talking Wonder Skull (he started out as a silly looking skull that I couldn't figure out how to make into something serious; SO I made him sillier)...the mushroom doesn't look all that thrilled with the proximity of the Trio:

Another lovely addition to the project. Love Mungo Hammertoe and Bob, but Spooks the Talking Wonder Skull is such a great name he has to appear in a game sometime. I will gleefully be stealing that name, and thank you as ever for the inspiration.

Fantastic piece! I'd say you put your own touch quite nicely on the Talking Wonder Skull.

Nice dental work on Mungo! All that hair and fur looks great on him. And using some unfortunate adventurer's beat up shield as an armguard is a neat detail.

Anything that spooks your mushrooms is a scary piece indeed!

Thanks, Jevenkah...a post isn't complete without your ever kind comments.
I had those two Reaper minis kicking around for quite awhile. Finishing them was a release of sorts. The piece has a nice story telling quality to it, which was what I was trying for...it's nice when these things work out.
The Mushroom could be concerned about the way Mungo is swinging around that Big Bone/Club...the proximity of Mongo's foot in these pre-Odor Eater days might be a contributing factor to his unease as well.

Thanks, redshadows! I'm glad you are enjoying The Project.
I hadn't really considered an all Mushroom Forest, but now that you mentioned it that does sound good. Towering Mushrooms with clinging vines & strange green vegetation has a certain appeal. I feel a new Board coming on...thanks for the idea!

Lavish as anything and easily your grandest figure yet!

Best take care though - if Mungo goes for a stroll in the Park, take care he doesn't get lost ;)

(he started out as a silly looking skull that I couldn't figure out how to make into something serious; SO I made him sillier)

That's EXACTLY the way to go.  :D :D :D

I was making a rather terrible pun there, but I think it was probably quite a bit too obscure for anyone to notice.

Yes, poor old vanished Mungo.

He who inspired John Barrow to send more than a few Royal Navy boys (poor sods who were desperate for promotion, not all of whome were entirely sane) to the middle of the desert, on that wonderful early-Victorian logic that equated deserts with oceans. Of course most of the Niger river is in festering jungles and swampland rather than desert, but very little of the thinking behind early Victorian exploration bears much close scrutiny anyway.  lol

Thanks for the push to check up on the misguided adventures of Mungo. For a species that touts its supposed intelligence, humans never cease to display an amazing streak of the purest stupidity. This works well with our natural tendency towards self destruction.

Thanks, aggro! I treated The Camera to new batteries; SO she decided to be cooperative...mostly.
The Mungo & Associates piece is Paul Bunyan inspired with names changed to protect the innocent, and a touch of Blazing Saddles for pure silliness sake.

I hope to have some more photos up before the weekend. I'm sorting out the Egg Carton Denizens (I store my completed & ready to paint stuff in egg cartons) for photos. The problem with this is discovering pieces I'd forgotten about slows the process down. I can see going through Capt. John's display case for minis & some refurbishing as a monumental undertaking.

Nice. Really like the Mysterious Lady and Mungo. So nice to see little scenes like this playing out on your wonderful table.  :D

Thanks, Diakon. The Boards are proving to be fun beyond their making. There are a lot of possibilities. Plus the addition of smaller add on expansion boards will provide even more photo spots & demand more miniature inhabitants. This is the kind of never ending project I cam get into.

I got to admit that the mystery part of the Mysterious Lady was I couldn't come up with a name on the spur of the moment.

When most of what I was working on was commission pieces, monumental translated as overwhelming...there were some drudgery connotations to the beasty as well. The Project is a liberating thing that has me convinced that just about anything is possible; of course this may be a form of idiocy. That aside, time is my only limitation.

Thanks, Katsuhiko! Reaper is one of my favorite mini makers; re, they have such a diverse range. I'm starting to reduce the backlog of minis; the cute Cleric is one that finally received some attention.
The Faerie & Fairy Tale story lines appeal to me...they're actually quite gruesome when you get down to it. A combination of surreal & comic fits my style.
As to the solo gaming, I might get back into it as a story telling device. Chronicling the games was once an enjoyable pursuit that I'd like to revisit.

Love to see your storytelling and character shots! Is that blood on the creeper's hand?

You seem to have found a lighting solution that works for you and that little guy is not an easy subject for your camera. Did you give her new batteries AND a lens buffing?  ;)

I grew up with a grandfather enamored of Mel Brooks. I still actually own my grandfather's VHS of Young Frankenstein. I was too young to get most of the jokes, but that never stopped me from laughing out load with Grandpa while we watched his movies.

@ Mason: One of the strangest days of my teenaged-life was sneaking a showing of Life of Brian at my house after school, only to have my folks come home early. I was raised religious, and petrified. My dad took one look at the TV, then a deep breath, then shouted...to my mom "Honey come here, we haven't seen this in years!" Now it's one of my daughter's go-to movies when she needs a laugh.

I didn't do any blood stains intentionally...gore is not my thing. The greenish Asian (I love technical jargon) is meant to give a poisoned blade effect.

This by the way is the "Now it's not every night you see a Piece of Darkness glide by." photo...I didn't include it in the first set of photos
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/DSCN2716.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/DSCN2716.jpg.html)

When all else fails a bit if bribery is the way to go. I can imagine The Camera making purring sounds...I imagine a lot of strange things. The lighting is always a hit & miss thing. I usually wind up with a spread of too light to too dark images. With some things, like the Creeper, slightly too dark works best.

I grew up with a grandfather enamored of Mel Brooks. I still actually own my grandfather's VHS of Young Frankenstein. I was too young to get most of the jokes, but that never stopped me from laughing out load with Grandpa while we watched his movies.

I think I've committed most of Mel's movies to memory...it comes in handy when the closed captioning is shot.

DeafNala, you're like one of the great musicians (Madonna, Pet Shop Boys or even Miley Cyrus come to mind). This is your 40K album, mixing in influences from your earlier album (that went platinum) and what you've been listening to lately.

I'm looking forward to the results.

Thanks for the positive replies, Guys. I was sure whether to post this stuff in the Sci-Fi section or just extend this thread. After a minimal amount of thought, I figured it was pretty strange here anyway, SO a bit of diversion wouldn't matter.

I'm actually drawing inspiration for some underground pieces from this little exercise. If I give you a little ppush in the right direction also, that would make this a truly successful effort.

Orcs or Orks always seem to adapt nicely to their environment; it's the environment that seems to have issues with the situation.

Thanks, aggro. The Orks are the Infamous Swizzle stick Orks. When I was given them, they had swizzle sticks stuck on to lengthen the gun barrels. When I removed the ugly-as-sin swizzle sticks, I found they were affixed to some heavy & thoroughly rusted staples. SO I totally replaced the barrels with plastic tubes...there are a couple of mini guns in the mix.

There are a bunch of closeups here:

Exactly! It may be another universe but DeafNala's hand shows all the same; one fairly expects these orcs to get up to all sorts of amusingly questionable behaviour, beyond the bland chaos normally expected of stock 40k orcs.

While they are not as clever or cool as Goblins, Orc(k)s are much less two dimensional than Tolkien, D&D, or G.W. would have us believe...it's the only way that all those ne'er do well, plundering "Adventurers" can get away with their blatant acts of breaking & entering, robbery & murder AND still appear as the Good Guys. If you play their personalities as somewhat counter to appearance whole new insights into Orc(k)iness come to light...this could be the Mother Lode of Absurdity.

A glimpse of my Orc(k) & Goblin perspective:

Just took a leisurely stroll through your Photobucket Orks and I'm even more impressed then I was before. Of course I should've expected this. Aren't 40K Orks just sentient fungus? You are the Lord of the Mushroom around these parts after all.  :D

After writing 'Lord of the Mushroom' above I got this sudden flash of Sauron wielding a glowing golden toadstool in the War of the Last Alliance. Then flash to Gollum, lovingly stroking that same golden toadstool in a cave deep beneath the earth. I just thought you should know.

Thanks, Michka...glad you like the Guys. I like The Lord of the Mushrooms; it has a nice ring to it. Funny thing I also had a Tolkien moment; only I pictured Tom Bombadil...now there was a poster Guy for the '60s: "tune in,turn on, drop out".

Orc(k)s as a fungus sort of organism is one of those G.W. ideas that allows them to bypass any sexual concepts; i.e., "Oh, Orks just bud & Mum found me in the cabbage patch". From my D&D/AD&D day with all those Half-Orc(k)s & Half-Elves & other Half-Thingies roaming about, I would say that Orc(k)s, Elves, & other Thingies are a horny lot that will mate with just about anything(y). Mushrooms are a prime source of food, drink, AND recreational drugs for Orc(k)s & especially Goblins.

Thanks MUCHO for the reply, Dommsdave! I got the idea for the stripes from the Badlands/Painted Desert. Usually I do three colors to the strips, but Dr. J has more subdued tastes than moi...at least as far as colors go.

I'm delighted you like the Goblins...Goblins are my favorite Fantasy & Folk Lore Folk. The ones in the photo are in the howdah of Lulu the Land Waster, a converted plastic Rhino of substantial size. You can see more photos here:

http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/library/WHFB/Lulu%20-%20The%20Land%20Waster?sort=3&page=1

My friend, Edwin, took the photos AND the mini is now in his collection. He mentioned anything he could eat; he could keep.

Well, there is always Mr. Tim Benzedrine from the novel "Bored of the Rings"... And yes, he he finances his Needs by selling sandals and cheap jewelry. I've just read the German Translation but that is funny as hell. Tim and his Old Lady Hashberry are real dropouts.

Thanks, Paul...your Southwestern terrain is BEAUTIFUL. I actually had to rein in my natural tendency to get carried away with things; re, Dr.J. is fairly conservative as far as terrain goes. As such, I had constraints on the footprint of each piece. This is only fueling the madness I will unleash on my next Project pieces.

Thanks, Doomhippe. I read & loved Bored with the Rings many years ago. The Benzadrines were such perfect parodies of the Bombadils. All the take offs on the names made the book for moi. The Lampoon's The Odd Father, a spoof of on The Godfather, is worth a read, if you can find a translation.

The parody of Dune, Doon, was pretty damn funny too.
So I have to ask, and don't take this the wrong way, but what's with the grey rocks in the middle of all those earth tones rocks?
I mean they are cool (and now I want to make some Planet Hell terrain for my Classic Star Trek project) but are they supposed to go with the others?

No offense taken. The blue grey stones are supposed to be a limestone style rock...I'm finishing up four smaller formations. Their color & the angular, shard like shape are supposed to be a break from the reddish & golden browns; AND denote a different mineral deposit. I'm sure Dr. J will keep them separate from the others; they were only grouped together for the photo.

Well with Dr. J's pieces, hopefully we'll see the last of them in a couple of weeks, but the ideas that have been stewing during the process should keep me busy with The Project for quite awhile...I've got about a dozen or so 1' squares prepped along with a bunch of 2's that are calling to moi.

The mushroom war just makes me think of adventure time. :)

...either that or a '60s moment, which is a different sort of adventure altogether.
Actually all the Mushroom talk has me thinking about all the possibilities. SO while the next batch for Dr. J is drying, I've started on a couple of pieces for The Project...just to keep the enthusiasm going of course.

Thanks for the kind reply, Bloodysword! I am, of course, delighted you like them.
Those & others were all done over a two year span when I was still living in Sound Beach. Dr. J, aka Justin, would scale the rickety ladder to my loft with the minis & detailed instruction as to the paint jobs & insight into their background/character. I had quite a bit of latitude as to the color choices for the most part, SO it was a really enjoyable project. The actual games were twice a year affairs that were held over the course of a week or so out in Arizona.

I added a couple more bunker like pieces to the desert industrial scene. They're all primed white on black awaiting some color:

An over head view:

...with some Orks for comparison's sake...& they like having their pictures taken:

The Little Bunker:

AND the Tank has a storage shed:

Once I get the go ahead, a couple more bunkers may be added along with some general junk. Then paint.
In the interim your kind comments would be most welcome.

I had gotten a bunch of watch parts from HassleFree & e.e.beads for a planned Steam Punk foray. The opening gizmo is one of the parts included. I mounted it on a jewelry push pin with a 2mm bead for its stem. Then I punched out a circular mount from some thick sheet styrene & drilled a hole in the middle. The hatch is a wooden disc from the craft store {Michael's) with some brads for bolts.

All of this futury stuff is a bit unfamiliar and scary ;P It looks great though. Its great to see your take on the orks, too. (A certain company could learn a thing or two from the spirit shown here. They seem to have forgotten  ::) )

Edit: I have to add, that I really enjoy the boyz with the muzzleflashes, even though the subject of the post is the terrain (Which is neat and nice as always as well)

Thanks, affun...glad you like it. The Orks are about the only thing I like in the 40K Universe. They are the only faction with a humorous twist to them, although if you approach the game correctly just about anything could achieve a level of silliness that would send the G.W.Fan Boys screaming into the night.
I posted this somewhere else, but if you'd like to see more (& better photos) of the Orks check ouut their PhotoBucket Album here:

I've missed a few pages and it's time to play catch-up!

The hatches on the new bunkers were the first to catch my eye as well. It's that little familiar aspect in the middle of the scary future, I think.

The landforms are smashing, their shapes and colors are engaging. There's just enough variation with the bases to show definition without being distracting. It's hard not to overpower rocks with dirt. Does that make sense?  ;D I recently got to spend 4 uninterrupted days with river rocks and my sons in a deciduous forest, and we noticed lots of the different properties of rocks, large and small.

As to the "Last Hurrah", given the scope of the projects you've filled 126 page with, I would not call it a swan song. I say your creations are instead from your renaissance.  :-*

Thanks for the kind reply, Jevenkah. As a boy I got to spend parts of the Summers in the Catskills. The variety of shades that stone can achieve is remarkable. Here in the Hill Country of Texas there are even more geological wonders.

I'm afraid Dr. J. is looking for a desert devoid of flora & fauna; something akin to an ash waste. So while working on the desert pieces I will slot in some of my own thingies, & avoid the blank page syndrome that follows every complete task.

AND the first three...possibly the last three...bunkers are done...OH BABY! (the standard reaction to the completion of a commission piece otherwise known as "that release from Hell feeling). SO here are some almost adequate photos of the pieces:

The obligatory overhead shot:

...the somewhat worse for wear bunker:

...AND the last & largest:

There you have it. The two tanks & shed will be next; then off they go to the Bleak, Dark World that is 40K Iowa...insert a blood curdling scream here. Once the package is sent & until I here what Himself wants next, I'm free to do whatever I want...within the constraints of my present physical condition that is.

Thanks, Matt...I needed that. I'm delighted you like the colors. I try to avoid using white as a highlight...other than  for something white that is. White does tend to make things look washed out. SO I normally go for highlights that are lighter shades of the color their highlighting; for example, I used a light yellowish brown (came) for the final highlight on the bunkers...the main colors there being marigold with a light iron oxide wash; then a dry brush of marigold & a final brush with the camel.

With Dr. J's stuff nearing completion I've started thinking about what is next in line for The Project. One of those things that has me thinking is the ruins of Temerity O'Leery's Steam Punk Mushroom Tower:

I'm toying with the idea of adding lots of scaffolding & making it into a building in repair...possibly adding the Armor Cast Steam Mushroom Observatory up on the top tower. The Necromancer's Lab & the Vampire Bar & Grill under The Graveyard are also on the agenda...just nothing to take photos of yet. 
Be that as it may, your comments, kind or not, would be most welcome...for the most part.

Repair scaffolding makes for a neat variation on the usual banal "ruined wizard's tower"! A tale of past battles won and, er, lost (but I'm sure Temerity O'Leery claims victory in any case). It also gives you an opportunity to add mini-diorama elements, of Tim's flunkies going about their repair work.

That white side tank definitely needs some gubbins on it or something to otherwise break up the space/shape. Complex machinery or maybe a spiral walkway to a bizarre testing apparatus on top.

Or maybe it's the vampire's liquor supply.  lol

Thanks, Fram. The scaffolding & flunkies are definite. The tank (mushroom brew storage) is still in doubt; some rickety ladders going up might be cool though along with some Goblin work facilities, living quarters, & a drinking spot crowding around it.
Most of the destruction to the Tower was due to an experiment or several experiments or, perhaps, all the experiments going slightly to tragic wrong...Oh Wow! THE COLORS Man!

Well, I did say liquor, but the "O'Leerys" are known to partake in other substances...  ;)

For the tank/tower, what might be neat is a structure made of various additions (the work facilities, living quarters, and "relaxation station", you mentioned) that bulges outwards towards the middle, but with some beams underneath as props holding up all the built-on goblin additions.

Thanks for the ideas, Fram. The bloated storage tank sounds like something to explore...it does fit nicely with Goblin-tech at it's finest. A twisted tank might be another possibility.

Temerity O'Leery is a take off on Dr. Timothy O'Leary, of "tune in, turn on, drop out" L.S.D. fame. SO you have a good idea what's in that tank will not be served a your local tavern.

Absolutely & for a variety of reasons...the potential for (comical) disaster boggles the mind. Actually Goblins could probably have a mega ton explosion from operating a pillow factory.

I got a cool idea for your elevated tank build.

Love the finished 40K facilities! My favorite is the oozing pipe, followed closely by the bombed-out segment. It all looks so cartoonishly realistic. Awesome!

And that tower makes me dizzy just looking at it. Can't wait to see what's in store,
Jevenkah

Thanks, Jevenkah...the ooze is proving to be a hit; I'm priming up another one now. I think that the cartoonish/surreal/whatever appearance is one of those things that carry through all my little creations; it's just the way I look at things. The wonderfully detailed background scenes from the full length Disney movies I watched as a boy might have had an impact on this World view....or my Mom could have dropped me on my head one time too many.

Trying to get the whole tower in one photo got me dizzy also. Putting some minis with it to get an idea of the height should be fun.

Looking great, absolutely love this stuff Deafnala!

Thanks for the reply, beefcake. IT's what I draw my motivation from.

I got a cool idea for your elevated tank build.

Thanks, Michka; that is a COOL idea! I can picture the mist escaping from the hole. I might be able to get a mist effect by pulling out a clump of poly fiber & stiffening it with some glue...I could put some dead birds under the plume.

Thanks again, Matt. I was rather pleasantly surprised at how well the slime went over with everyone. The hand & what remains of the arm was a spur of the moment bit of inspiration that turned out pretty, if somewhat disturbingly, nicely.

When I moved from Long Island to Texas way back in the Miserable Winter of 2010, I took along a few W.I.P. pieces. This one was supposed to be an extension to the Mordheim boards I had made for erstwhile friend Mack. It's been gathering a thick layer of dust  ever since:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2820.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2820.jpg.html)

While I was working on Dr. J's Sci-Fi terrain I kept staring at this board...staring at things is one of those things that Old Men do. I started picturing it as a Froudian/floedebollesque Goblin style Mordheim Slum. SO I added a few more foundations, changed the heights of a few of the existing foundations, finished carving the cobblestones/pavers, added the sewer grates, & did my white on black primer coat:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2822.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2822.jpg.html)

SO this will be another aspect of my ongoing Project. Which part gets more attention God only knows...& He won't spill the beans. Be that as it may, your comments, as always, would be most welcome.

Thanks for the reply, manic_miner.
I agree; i.e., it is FAR easier to start a piece than to finish it. With the terrain pieces, there always seems to be something else that needs to be added to the Beasty. With this one there is just SO MUCH stuff to do that it could very well seem to be overwhelming; ergo, I intend to savor the project & enjoy all the little embellishments that get done as I do them. I keep a photo journal of the progress & post it here. B the time it get done it the overall photos could be an epic event...or not.

 It does look like a walkway spanning two of the sections.Cant really tell from the pictures down over though.

 I got some more pink foam sheets from work this week.The garage is starting to get filled with it ;).

There is a stairway wrapped around the one building that leads to an archway that spans the street & connects to that square building. At that point it's 4" above the pavement.

I'd love to have some stills of the Goblin Town from Labyrinth. Trying to model it from the film would be just too frustrating to consider. This is going to be more of a stem punk Mordheim thingy.
Have FUN with the foam!

Well...they'll be separate boards. This one will probably be a stand alone board. The Spooky Woods & Heep's Place is going to get another board also. It will be a separate entity from the Graveyard/Shanty Town/Isles of Langerhans Boards. The Smugglers Cove should fit with nicely on the far side of the Isles. With zero possibilities for using the pieces as gaming boards, they don't have to be contiguous entities although being able to combine them is an attractive possibility.

When it comes to terrain projects I find starting them is the hardest part. I always want to plan them out and have just the right lay-out before I start cutting and shaping. The middle part goes quite well, as I continue work on making it all fit together. Then the final hurdle is painting it. That's my other kryptonite. I have a number of projects at the 'purchased materials' stage, and a few projects at the 'all done but the painting' stage. Not many at the half done stage.

And now for questions, because I want to make a board just like that. (I won't actually start it, but I want to know anyway.)
How big is the base board?
Do you coat the pink stuff before you paint it?
If so, with what?
If not, do you ever have problems with rough handling damaging the surface of the boards? 

That's enough for now. Love what you've done so far. Can't wait to see what comes of it.

I have a number of projects at the 'purchased materials' stage, and a few projects at the 'all done but the painting' stage. Not many at the half done stage.

Most of my creations, such as they are, are pretty spontaneous affairs with a minimal amount of planning. I just get an image/idea of what I want to do. The area I have to work with is my limiting factor...this might explain why my piece tend to get so tall. I've noticed there is a stalling factor going from primed/base coated to painting...this happens with the minis also. Once I come up with the color scheme, things flow smoothly again.

The board is 2' X 2'.

Once I've done whatever cutting/carving I intend to do I thoroughly paint the piece with a thin coat of black acrylic paint & dry brush with white. The thorough coat of black is to protect the foam from the effect of the spray finish's acidic propellant.

The edges of the board & protruding sections are subject to damage, scratches & dings, but then most things will break if handled roughly enough. The foam is fairly tough stuff; AND has the advantage of being easily repaired.

Thanks for the reply...I'm glad you like it thus far. Feel free to ask any questions that come to mind; I don't plan on taking any secret techniques to the grave.

The "in the Ghetto" is all Elvis' fault. Every time I start working on this board, his song In the Ghetto starts playing through my head. It could be worse; when I was doing the Spooky Woods I got Teddy Bears Picnic.

There are a few stretch that narrow down to 30mm. AND once all the clutter, debris, & slime is added the streets will get narrower & less attractive for a stroll. Along "the
 Great Minds" thingy, I was just thinking about what might be lurking in the sewer grates...something suitably disgusting to be sure.

I'm excited to see where this goes.

I'm looking forward to seeing how these new pieces turn out also. While I often savor the creation, the completion has an undeniable attraction. AND I have ideas for some other pieces that I'd be wiser to put off until the ones I have started are done.

I think that may be a universal feeling at gathering spots like L.A.F.. There are hordes of the Little Folk moaning for attention in my Vault of Pack Rattiness...paint! PAINT! PAINT! Not to mention all the insulation foam, sheet styrene, balsa...thanks for not mentioning it.
For health reasons a backlog of minis, kits, unfinished terrain is an essential. As long as there is a substantial amount of lead, plastic, foam, balsa, et al, continued well being is a virtual certainty. My Old Friend Skip only lasted a few day after the last of his Seven Years War minis was finished...sad but true.

I had a request for a How-To post from a Fellow on the Reaper Forum, SO, having given my word, here is a quick face run through...the face is supposed to look a bit like Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream:

First I drilled two shallow holes above the door, painted the holes black to protect the foam, &, once dry, glued in two beads for eye...they're looking down:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2838.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2838.jpg.html)

I then added a cone of Green Stuff between the eyes for the eyelids, nose, upper lip, & teeth:

next a ball of Green Stuff for the chin & lower lip:

then two balls for the cheeks & the outer edges of the eye sockets:

Being remembered for the old plastic Goblins is quite a compliment; they were/are such merry looking lunatics.

I'd love to do something like that...as long as I don't wind up in some dentist's waiting room.

Thanks for the kind reply, weismonsters! The faces how-to/tutorial has gotten some very nice comments...that's a relief.
I took a photo of one of the buildings from my W.I.P. Smugglers' Board that accidentally fit into one of the foundation. This is only to give an idea how the board will be going; there are a couple of points on it that don't match up. That aside, a taste of the future:

...now picture all the foundations with a rickety building of similar size; AND you'll have a idea where this is going.

Post by: DeafNala on August 11, 2014, 04:04:36 PM
Well all good things must come to an end, SO it's time for an update. To add to the interest (perhaps) we'll have Gaseous George taking us on a stroll through the lower level of the Urban Blight Board:

Here he is outside his digs, so to speak:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2863.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2863.jpg.html)

...strolling down the street:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2856.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2856.jpg.html)

...past a familiar door:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2863.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2863.jpg.html)

...& the H. Putter residence under the stairway:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2865.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2865.jpg.html)

...around the corner & out of the alley:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2870.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2870.jpg.html)

...up the tower staircase:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2882.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2882.jpg.html)

...rounding the corner:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2890.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2890.jpg.html)

AND that 's a complete circuit of the Blight...mostly. The next step will be painting & further detailing the lower level while I start the upper floors. In the meantime your kind comments would be appreciated...possibly cherished.

Thanks, Paul. I think it should keep me out of trouble for quite awhile...maybe. It's a toss up for moi as to whether the upper floors or the painting below is more of an attraction. Since they'll be going on simultaneously, there shouldn't be much of a conflict.

This, by the way, is how it looks from above:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2853.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN2853.jpg.html)

Thanks for the kind words, Matt! I also think the variations in height add to the visual interest. As the upper floors are added the impact should be even greater....hopefully.

There's something really Escher-like about this build. I love how it's turning out. I love a terrain project that literally causes dizziness.

Thanks, Michka! Someone else mentioned the Esher look; while it was unintentional, that isn't a bad image to project. With the height of the upper floors this should induce vertigo.

SO now while The Camera is being relatively cooperative, The Light of Ott is falling apart. That aside, I will slowly put up another Tour of the Blight...this time in living color & guided by a few of Fast Flo's numerous nieces.

A long shot:

With the Holiday Weekend gone, my AT&T link to the Internet seems to be back to normal such as that is. AND, that means more mediocre photos of The Blight to entertain, edify, or whatever. SO...without further ado:

Evil Iris & Lili by Gaseous George's Place:

Since the photos were taken, I've started doing a gloss finish on the slimy green sections of the street, got some mushrooms ready for planting, & such silliness. As thing develop, I'll add further awful photographic evidence to brighten your day. Until then, your comments would be appreciated.

There are a couple more of Flo's Girls painted up. The camera was less than flattering to the Ladies I'm afraid, but, even so, they look the part.

When I started the Board a few years ago, it was going to be an extension of some other Mordheim Boards I had done for an erstwhile friend. I  think I'm going to continue with the very tall ruins, but have them in a state of reoccupation & repair. SO there will be some closed area, others that are readily accessible for gaming, lots of scaffolding & connecting walkways for some daring do, & the sort of sleazy establishments one would associate with a slum...ill repute is in.

The Mushroom structure is the sort of thing that will form the upper stories:

...minus the Mushroom of course.

Thanks for the kind reply, pocoloco! I'm glad you like it so far. I'm rather pleased with it also, which should push me to carry that feel along to the next level.
My tendency to get carried away with things should add to the height.

Will there be smaller mushrooms sprouting out on the sides?

I never know where the mushrooms will spring up. Some places just look right for them. I think some shelf mushrooms will be in order though.

As a bit of news: I finish sculpting the first two Haunted "Wanted" Posters. One will probably be for the notorious Bunny Badenhop.

A W.I.P. photo is a SPENDID idea, pocoloco. Thanks; it would never have occurred to me without your suggestion:

I'm not sure which one will be Bunny; probably the one on the right. I now have a picture of a tall, thin, long legged Rogue with incredibly big feet...this may be a conversion challenge.
There's a gangling relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox named Burk Badenhop; I inflicted the nickname of "Bunny" on him...he looks like a "Bunny". SO, no he's not appeared in the thread...yet.

I'll have to come up with some background for Bunny should I make the mini, It would be a cool piece; long feet would be a fairly easy conversion: AND doing backgrounds fits with the story telling terrain. You are a FINE source of ideas/inspiration. poco!

The first color shots of the town look absolutely amazing. You've really brought the place to life.

I'd bet that yours turn out at least as well, but in a more realistic fashion. Although for your Strange Aeons games, something along the lines my haunted posters of might work...or not. That does give me an idea for YET ANOTHER poster; i.e., some hideously deformed, possessed mutant freak or some one with really bad complexion issues.

Thanks again, pocoloco! I'm glad you are still enjoying The Project.
The old, long neglected graveyard across the street from my Grandma's when I was a boy was a prime playing area during the day, but, at night, it took on a forbidding aspect that kept all but the most courageous of the children away. The atmosphere of early evening when the Sun is low on the horizon & the shadows are deepening is pretty much the feeling I was going for here. I guess I got it right then.

The thing I like best about my Mushrooms is the range of expression I've managed to give them...there is a definite attitude problem here.
When I broke up the original Maudeheim Board for parts, it freed up quite a few Mushrooms for the new boards...they also make great cake & pizza decorations if you enjoy freaking people out.

For some strange reason the bought to mind the scene in The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes where the Hero has infiltrated the Killer Tomatoes Gang. They are gathered around a campfire eating hamburgers, when he asks "anyone have some ketchup?".

Thanks, einarolafson...I'm delighted you like them. Now that you mention it, it would be fun to have a count, but I've been doing the Mushrooms in varying sizes out of different materials for the last dozen years. Originally they were props to raise the Goblins I was doing up for a possible War Hammer Horde. Here's a group from '02...the Mushrooms are Plumbers Epoxy:

Thanks, Michka...glad you like the Guys/Whatever! I would like to say something negative about the "Grim Darkness" school of painting, but grim & dark are just two concepts I can't seem to include in my painting. I'm just a colorful sort; vivid/vibrant/garish hues appeal to moi & don't necessarily detract from a sinister nature. After all the real Inquisition was pretty damned grim & they wore red.  I'll leave the somber shades for other Folk.

Back to a few pages before, I really like the multilevels town you're creating.

I was thinking of the same concept, but for near future (2060) shadowrun/cyberpunk universe. Maybe creating  2'x2'  modules, from sewers to roofs.

Your own project, even if it's fantasy, is inspiring. Really good ideas. I like the stairs running between the buildings, for example.

Thanks for the reply, sundayhero. I find the 2' squares to be of manageable proportions; big enough without being overwhelming. With some modifications what I've done in Fantasy could easily be Sci-Fi or perhaps Historical...it's the little details that define a piece & put it in a particular genre & period.
Let me know when you start your project; I'd like to follow it.

That would be awesome.

To give credit where it's due, one of the Guys on the Reaper Forum, smokingwreakage, suggested the violin & hat; the "Thank You, Music Lovers" I stole from a Spike Jones Album, but it would be cool nonetheless.

Thanks again, Jevenkah. That was the feel I was going for. The colors on the board got a little bleached out in the photos; they are a bit darker, but you get the general idea. I wanted the sunken cobblestones/paving stones to be slimy, unhealthy looking puddles. I just did them in a sickly green brown highlighting to a ghastly yellow (the NJ Swamp by the Holland Tunnel sans the aroma was my inspiration) & painted on a gloss finish...Americana Triple Thick Glaze. I did the same thing with the swamp water by the Witches' digs.

Thanks, Paul...always glad to give you a chuckle. Sister Mary Margaret was a guiding light of sorts in our Anne O'Leary's formative years; she asked me to name the mini in her honor...I was surprised she didn't opt for the tentacle one. Sister Agnes Calamari's name just seemed obvious to moi.
The minis really were a delight to paint. I wish the photos showed them as they really are.

The color does seem about right, although by The Swamp it has a life all its own. Sixty years after the first experience, its unique aroma still lingers...it may account for the stranger aspects of my persona.

Maybe my password was wrong.....but then the work computer blocked the site anyway after I clicked on a link to 'Dark Elf Armour'...which turned out to be a BDSM website of some sort and the work server decided that Tom's was 'unsuitable'.... ::)

Thanks, Paul...I'm impressed with it myself. As one of the judges, I can't compete, but it would be something to be treasured if won.

I had that problem on the Reaper Forum. I wound up having to use a different I.D. to created a new account. The search engine on Tom's is positively Byzantine & should be avoided at all costs.

Ina addition to the Mushrooms that I sent my friend Paul aka Mason possibly being turning out in metal castings. One of the Guys over on the Reaper Forum expressed an interest in casting my Mushrooms up in resin. SO these Fungus Fellows are now sitting on his doorstep in North Carolina:

SO the infection may be spreading to both sides of the Atlantic...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!...or not.
Somehow I don't see this as a life changing source of income, but who knows?

That would be fine with moi...I rather like working with resin myself. If you'd like additional Mushrooms that I didn't prime, I'd be glad to send you some more...I do love making them...after you catch your breath from the BLAM Extravaganza that is.
Here's the latest, still wet Mushroom:

I've been following this thread off and on since it started, and it keeps getting better and better! I might have to try my hand at sculpting some mushrooms now.

I'm feeling dangerously tempted into doing "just a little bit" of fantasy scenery in this sort of vein, and that's a dangerous temptation with the number of other projects I've got ongoing or planned...

It's nice to know that someone besides moi gets carried away with things. I like the Spiderooms idea; it seems doable...actually doing more with appendages is something I've been thinking of...then there are the Pumpkin Guys I was thinking of for Halloween...ad infinitum.

Thanks, Wirelizard. Do try the sculpting; re, it is liberating & a helluva a lot of fun. I think I have a "how to" on the Mushrooms somewhere in the thread & a faces one more recently if you need some guide to it all.
Way back when, I started painting Fantasy figures for my D&D/AD&D games simply because I was assured "you only need a few"...thousands of minis later I'm still at it. The scenery has an even longer history, predating the Fantasy by a good 14 or so years. Oh well it may not be time well spent, but it has been extremely enjoyable; SO go with whatever is the most fun; at least you'll have memories that make you smile.

Just make sure you pay your fare afterwards or you may not get far ;)  ;D it could look a little like a warehouse, open doors on the floors with the 'hoist' on the top of the building. ;D

It is one of those unintended serendipitous things that my strange little creations seem to get other Folks imaginations whirring. I consider this a major, if accidental, accomplishment. As a consequence, I do get some splendid suggestions, quite a few of which I then do take offs on..giving credit where it's due. AND getting carried away with things is one of my character flaws ...one I reallly enjoy.

Go for it! A beautiful beastie at the top that doesn't need saving but does need foolish brave knights to devour. I hope you do a wearhouse too!!!

I like the Lovely Man Eater in the Tower idea; this will definitely be one of those add on boards with which I'm already tinkering. As far as Houses of Disrepute go, I do have plans for Fast Flo's...some of her numerous Nieces are conducting Tours of Interest through the Hood already.

Talking about "Beasty", watched 'Maleficient' last night. Thought of this thread.

I had to look up Maleficient...I'm SO out of it. The Evil Faerie Queen...aren't they all?...looks wonderfully like one of the possible minis for my Snow White the Crime Lord (Lady) idea. Funny how these Great Mind thingies keep popping up.

Thanks for the kind reply, leonmallett! I have a feeling the remaining tenements may be even wonkier...stay tuned for developments.

Edmund Spenser might not agree.  Not if he wanted to keep royal favour, anyway.

Edmund might have considered keeping his head a priority also. It's been a long time since I read The Faerie Queene...a reread might be in order.

That's a new idea, one that has possibilities. The buildings with the faces are my way of doing the Haunted House thing; the faces being the Spirits of Folk formerly associated with The House  & now part of it. A tower as a living, sentient entity would be cool...might give new meaning to the "chewing on the scenery" expression.

I love how your inspirations come through in your work, yet it is all so unique. Others have mentioned the Henson vibe (maybe it's the beard too?) and besides the obvious visual link, I get the feeling that many of these denizens are simply misunderstood. They don't really want to scare anyone, it just happens that way sometimes.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a must read; it's Oscar Wilde's only novel. Here's a photo from the 1945 film of the same name:

It's not much of an update, but I figured I may as well post something while The Camera is still with us. This is the face on the upper story door that I promise Jevenkah; she's was inspired by The Junk Lady from Labyrinth:

Thanks, Jevenkah! Your idea for the face on the door worked out nicely; it was just the right finishing touch...SO credit where it's due.
When I got sold on the idea of doing Snow White, Crime Lord, & her Seven Dwarf Henchmen I picked up a few new minis for Herself. SO now I have a couple possibles for the Evil Rapunzel...or not.

Thanks, Michka...glad you like the latest additions. The face has gotten some very nice comments.

The basic construction of the upper sections of the tower are just about done less cutting out the windows, adding a chimney &, perhaps, a garderobe, & the roof. Then I'll fancy it up with some leering faces, tentacles, & such. Getting carried away once more, the rickety upper section more than double the height of the tower. As far as a means of entry, the braid is still an option or I'll go with some encircling vines. The vines give me the option of adding some huge flowers with mushroom style faces in the center.

Very nice work again Deafnala, I don't know how you keep the momentum up! :)

Thanks, beefcake. The momentum is maintained through kind comments & the total lack of a social life. I think it may be a matter of having nothing else to do with my time.

Some small progress on Rapunzel's Twisted Tower has been made & photographed for your entertainment & edification...or something like that. SO without further delay or warning:

The Tower as it looks now:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN0004-1.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN0004-1.jpg.html)

...looking down from the dizzying heights (27"):
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN0009-1.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN0009-1.jpg.html)

...the lower portion:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN0008.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN0008.jpg.html)

...AND the Tower proper:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN0005-1.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN0005-1.jpg.html)

There is still the matter of the roof, chimney with or without a stork's nest, & various & sundry details to be done, but this should give you some idea where I'm headed...just in case you want to get off here. The Tower will most likely be based as a side street off The Urban Blight, hence the photo of it by one of the other Blight Buildings...it gives you an idea of its height also.

Until the next update, your kind comments would be appreciated...for the most part.

Thanks, Jevenkah. I haven't any idea what you'd call the door mechanism either. When I started the Urban Blight Board, I wanted it to have a steam punk feel to it. The hatch mechanisms I used for Dr. J's Sci Fi stuff seemed right with some gears to complete the look. It actually is prettyy easy to arrange the little gears to give the impression that they actually work...anyway I'm enjoying it all.

God's holy trousers... is that your tallest building yet?  :-*

Thanks, Fram. It's pretty close. I have a couple I've done that top 30". This one is just a tad under 27" as it is now. The chimney might just push it over the top...going over the top seems to be another of my things.

How strong is it at the narrowest point (above the stone base)? Do you have some sort of reinforcement there?

Despite its lightness the fan foam I've been using is really quite strong. My innate clumsiness has tested it severely.

What sort of question is that? This is a high-security facility, is it not? Of course the chimney needs a lookout stationed!  lol

I was thinking of getting a couple of the Aegypt Ibis headed miniatures & doing a bit of converting to make Stork Men...I figured it would freak Folk out, which is always fun.

Muhahahaha. What a lair you have constructed DeafNala. A true wonder of the miniature world.

You certainly need a stork's nest on top, I think that will set it off nicely. I wonder if your tower will need a pile of looted armour and travelers gear somewhere? I can imagine the rapunsels victims stuff gets placed somewhere, perhaps she entices her victims through the 'girl needs rescuing' myth (spread through paid informants) and for the more pack mule like adventurers - a treasure trove of loot and armour to scavenge. Which suitably distracts the character long enough for rapunsel to grab a leg of her next victim. Muhahaha.

I like the stone mushroom like base to the tower. He looks not to happy about being built up so high.

Thanks for the feedback & ideas, Matt. I could add a Rapunzel's Used Weapons & Armor Shop. Thinking about it; there is a lot of potential in twisting the Fairy Tales...I could put the Sin in Cinderella.

Painting & some additional details (the braid is underway) will be next along with some work on the base...Rapunzel's Used Weapons & Armor Shop to be added. In the interim you could make an Old Man happy with a kind word or two.

Thanks for the kind reply, Paul. I'm delighted you are enjoying it. I must admit that being a Crazy Old Man is just as much fun as I imagined it would be. It's good to know that it's also fun for those Folk that are stuck with moi.

Now that is a GREAT IDEA! I'll try to avoid pushing you in that direction...at least intentionally, but a Clock Tower was actually a big feature in Mordheim. For my Blight, having one that ran counterclockwise would be cool; maybe a sort of cuckoo clock tower with something strange popping out at odd times.

It is a BIG feature on the map of Krappefortt too, just have not gotten around to making it yet.

There you go! It seems that creative juices interrupt their normal flow periodically & skip forward in time. The Urban Blight Board I've got underway was started as a addition to the Mordheim Boards I had done for erstwhile friend Mac way back before I move here...about late '09. Without any intention of finishing it, I thought the lower level would look better at varying heights...it developed a life of its own from that point on. The first of the watch parts I'm using I got in a trade with you sometime ago & just now have started to use. Projects seem to have to ripen for awhile.

I've also noted that long term, ongoing Projects follow their own course. The Blight for example has moved of its own accord from a conventional, if tall, Mordheim Board into the Realms of Steam Punk Fracture Faerie Tale...from Blanche to Froud as it were.

Mason aka Paul is a FINE source of SPLENDID ideas & a CAPITAL Fellow to boot! They, the ideas that is, even withstand my modifications...for the most part.

I was thinking, since I can't actually get the clock to run backwards, I could just have the numbers go in a counterclockwise direction & have some strange Bird Thingy hanging out on a spring...I can see myself flicking the Bird to make it bounce around every time I passed the piece. A any rate, if you'd like to try it feel free to go with your own version of the Beasty.

If you want a working 'backwards' clock, you can get them.*
Just take out the mechanism and attach it to your build.

It was wonderful to see peoples faces trying to 'compute' and work out the time when they looked at it.

I'll check into it...it would be cool.
My only accomplishment in reading is what I can't do; i.e., I can't read a rule book & remain awake for more than a few pages...perhaps not playing isn't such a bad thing after all.

I did give my work not to encourage Paul at least o the clock tower even though it would prove to be a enormously fulfilling project.
There's a antique junk shop in near by kind of Llano I'll have to check out for the clock face & maybe the cuckoo...I can relate to cuckoos.

Thanks for the kind words, Jevenkah! I'm working on The Braid which, if I can pull it off, will provide access to upper reaches of The Tower for the would be suitors & the unwary.
I just purchased a few of Brian Froud's books; SO the whimsy factor may be on the rise.

With the Golden Tom Painting Competition looming, my fellow judge Ben aka floedebolle & I decided to start a "What we would have lost the contest with" W.I.P. mini painting thread at Tom's. Ben has a wild, original Chaotic Frog Guy underway. I had stumbled upon a West Wind mini of a headless noble fop;  AND thought I'd try an "Oops, too late" version of the Lost Prince (Mordheim scenario)...the Guy on the lower left is the mini in question:

You have to carefully husband your foul language. Profanity has a wonderful effect on people if they don't expect it. Of course there are certain things that refuse to function unless the air is an appropriate shade of green...the lids on pickle jars come to mind.

That's because you need to equalize the environment inside and outside the jar before the airlock will open.

That makes sense. Normally when I know something is going to give me grief, I cut to the chase with a few pointed remarks before attempting the task. It usually impresses the grief giver sufficiently to make the task a cinch.

Thanks for the enthusiastic response,Jevenkah...that made my evening! It could be a crow's nest, but I was trying for a stork. They have a thing about building their nests in chimneys. I was thinking of getting one of the Crocodile Games Ibis folk & converting it into a Stork Man, although a WereCrow could be a fun piece also. The nest is the highest point on the tower at just over 27".

I finally figured out what your work reminds me of. I kept trying to nail down what artist you seem to channel, but I've realized it's not an artist at all. It's a writer. For me, there's a Neil Gaiman feel in this project. It's a combination of darkness and whimsy, with a manic joy that comes just to the edge of madness. The melding of things Gothic and old with things fresh and alive. I can see an innocent child wandering through the streets of your city, escorted by an adult protector who may or may not have their best interests at heart.

The most common list of culprits include Tim Burton, Jim Henson, Brian Froud, & some mention of infernal creatures. I'm only familiar with Neil Gaiman through his collaboration with Terry Pratchett on Good Omens; considering the number of rereads I've done on that book, that doesn't rule him out.

Thanks, leonmallett! I'm afraid that it only gives me an excuse for a bit of profanity now & then. ..the practice will come in handy if I should ever remarry.

I would be okay with vowing to stay alive the fifty or so years necessary to finish everything I'd like to make for The Project...of course, The Man might have other ideas on the subject.
Now that you mentioned the Knight, coming up with a suitable if somewhat living impaired following for Rapunzel could be interesting. I'd say this was taking over my life, but that happened a long time ago.

Thanks, Matt! The Reaper Jack O'lanterns have proved to be one of the most adaptable of conversion pieces...they work very well with G.W. plastics also. In this case the neck of the Headless Prince almost exactly matched a depression in the bottom of the pumpkin; I just made it a bit deeper & viola!

I had to look that one up; I was originally thinking of a take off on the Headless Horseman. One of the West Wind Vampire Wars minis could double as Lance.

I did the third story leaning to the side & did the window on the leaning side to match the slant. The crooked frame is mounted on that side & matches the window. I'm thinking of making a book case that will have the same slant.

The "Mona Lisa" in the middle has certainly had a turn for the worst hasn't she. Must be all that pent up anger at being behind glass and people poking her for centuries. Her revenge is nigh.

I love em Nala, to as a arty type, May I suggest perverted real paintings? Ie Dali's clocks, Picasso 3 women.... Just a thought. Probably a bit too much/difficult. Just ignore  me I'll go back under my rock.

Cheers
Bertie.

Thanks, Bertie...glad yyou like them. The take off on real paintings is a cool idea; one of the Guys over on Wamp suggested Edvard Munch's The Scream:

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f4/The_Scream.jpg/220px-The_Scream.jpg)

...that's pretty scary as is.

Still amazing!

I forget,  but is there a place to see ALL that has currently been built?  You should do a video 'tour' through the streets.

Thanks, Doc! The "tour" sounds like fun; I probably could do a slide show of the various boards. Probably my Google Albums would be the best place to check out every thing in one fell swoop:

Thanks MUCHO for the kind reply, Teshub! Having drawn a considerable amount of inspiration & positive thoughts from your work, I think we are about even... a Mutual Admiration Society as it were.

COOL IDEA! I had find a photo of the Mayor...my memory can confuse things lately:

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/88/Nightmare_Before_Christmas_Characters.jpg)

It's a bit small, but I get the idea. The portrait has me thinking of a Town Hall Building for the Mayor, his Thugs, & his portrait down a suitably sleazy side street. Actually converting a mini to represent the Mayor would be a challenging project...I like challenges.

I second that idea!

Thanks, Captain...some extra encouragement is appreciated.

The portraits look amazing in the tower. Great work as ever on the whole project. :)

Thank, leon! Somedayu I'll convince The Camera to make things look as they actually do. THEN I really have something to knock your socks off...or not.

Fantastic work on these towers! Love the Jack O lantern chap. Everytime I blink this thread and the board seems to get bigger and bigger!

Thanks, Brummie! I have noticed that if I leave The Prince on the board, he seems to be in different places & positions whenever I look at it...then there's the evil laughter late at night (insert B Horror Movie theme music here...Booo Oooo Oooo).
The board seems to be getting bigger to moi also. It was just going to be a quick finishing off of a project I started way back when. Now I have side streets planned, some very tall tenements, Rapunzel's Tower, & a cast of characters to occupy the place. Oh well, it's a good substitute for "having a life".

Thanks, Bertie! That's the first time I've had a piece called "fab"; I associate that with the Beatles: "Fab Four"...in this case I suppose it would be Fab Floor".

Thanks, pocoloco. The scroll is in the twisted corner building; is that the one you meant? Once the other buildings start popping up, that one is going to start looking a bit on the short side...probably.

Thanks, Matt. Having spent long years in my efforts to achieve Crazy Old Manhood, it's good have it acknowledged.
With walkways, balconies, extensions, chimneys & such to be added, the imminent crash look will most probably become more apparent; it's a Slum Chic thing.

Amazing. Your workplace even looks like mine!

Chaos breeds creativity!

Thanks, Doc! It's that Great Minds/Kindred Spirit thing. I recently rearrange the place to allow for a greater degree of clutter...my productivity has increased accordingly.
Periodically, I'm moved to do a cleaning; I refer to this as "finding the floor". The discovery of cool stuff that I had forgotten about usually curtails any actual cleaning.

It occurs to me that actually getting in to move figures around or play on this board might be a bit of a challenge once all the tenements are up!

That could be a problem. I do try to test out access before gluing things down, but this board may require some extra care. The external, upper story walkways should allow for greater accessibility AND some daring do style swashbuckling at dizzying heights above the unforgiving streets.

That is what mine would look like if the 'Tidy-up Fairy' did not give me the 'Look of Doom'.... ;)



Cap'n John's Girl Friend, Doreen...cleaning's answer to Attila the Hun...does sometimes look wistfully into The Room, clutching her vacuum cleaner. She's quite a creative person herself, SO her own apartment makes my attempts at clutter look rather puny by comparison. I have sent at least one potential love interest screaming into the night with my views on a proper creative environment.

Thanks once more for the kind reply, Jevenkah. The Evil interior decorations were a lot of fun to do; this means there will be more of them springing up all over the place...Cap'n John has nixed the idea of letting me decorate The House however.

This one is a little over 21" tall; the one further down the street is 14 1/2 ". The rest of them should fall somewhere in that range with maybe one or two taller ones...Rapunzel's Tower is 26".

One of the benefits of spontaneous builds is that I'm not all that sure how the beasty will turn out myself. SO I'm looking forward to the developments myself. Thus far I finished shingling the lower roof added a couple of windows, a hole in the wall, a couple of doors*, did a better fit for the upper roof, & started gluing down the shingles.

*There will be some balconies & I'm planning on adding a little landing platform & housing for an Owl Rider's Mount.

I'm just about ready for another photo session with the new building.

Thanks for the evil laughter, Fram...that's a nice touch!
Surprisingly the chimney has thus far survived the unexpected, multiple, precipitous descents test without damage...I did it in layers of fan foam, which seems to be somewhat tougher than just a thick slab of foam. I doubt that any of my terrain would survive club/gaming store attention.

Thanks & MERRY CHRISTMAS to you, Bertie! The rickety, "why doesn't it fall down?" approach to architecture adds nicely to the general Urban Blight chic; I practiced this approac when I was a home owner.
With the Beasties the "apprehending" part gets a bit messy.

While this isn't really a major addition to The Urban Blight, I has given moi a few ideas for other ramshackle structures clinging to the sides & roofs of the proper tenements. It's WONDERFUL how one idea will spawn others...it's rather like a staph infection.

This is one of those instances where I started out with the mini & adapted the scenery to fit it. I'm not sure what type of Owl/coloring I'm going for...yet.
Coming up with some disreputable types will be the next miniature challenge. I have a feeling there will be some Night Goblin conversions in the works.

SO, after searching & buying a bunch of likely candidates for the position, I found The Perfect mini when I did my latest reorg of The Workshop from HELL!. She's an O.O.P. Enigma Steam Punk Voodoo Witch Babe. At a towering 40 mm she will dwarf her underlings...since they are mostly Short Folk, this isn't much of an accomplishment. With the surrealistic look of my stuff, she should fit right in. Here she is posing with The Owl Rider:

Thanks, Matt...it does look like the Tower had a bite to eat....a BIG bite.
I'm searching through the Vault for weapons; I may wind up ordering a pack or two from Reaper. I think some of the Empire Knights pieces will work for the armor.

Funny thing I was thinking the same thing. It would be like coming back as one of Henson's creations...I have dibs on Sir Didymus.
Actually populating the place is one of the things I'm looking forward to...thanks for volunteering, v.L..

AND thanks for an idea: after posting I started thinking about the populace. The Sisters of Sigmar from Mordheim popped into my mind, but more like the Salvation Army Lassies. Instead of hammers they will smite the Unrighteous with tambourines.

Thundering down the narrow alleys of Maudeheim, The Blessed Order of the Gooey Death leaves a trail of destruction & now two dimensional War Bands in their wake. "Good, Bad, Whatever...the Gooey Ones don't make mischief. Iter Mortis!"

The entire order is composed of White Knight's FANTASTIC Renaissance Dwarfs & Halfings with a coupe of Musical Wart Hogs thrown in for balance, which Himself MOST GENEROUSLY donated to the cause.
As always, your kind comments would be most welcome...mostly.

The white knight sculpts really are excellent - would love to paint a few of them some day. Speaking of painting: a very nice idea excecuted well. I enjoyed the little snippet of background as well.
 Those poor citizens - soon to be dimensionally challenged!  :D

The Little Folk are WONDERFUL minis that my photographic (lack of) skills do not do justice. If you can, by all means get a few to paint for the sheer joy of it all.
The idea for the Order came from viewing quidamcorvus' EXCELLENT Road Wardens. In the cramped alleyways of The Blight, there are only the quick & the gooey.

I do love the miniatures that White Knight makes. I really do need to get the stick out and make an order soon. The towers look fantastic. The leering tower of Pia Zadora (or whatever you call the one with the eyes) is such a fun building all the way around.

Thanks, Michka. The Dwarfs are UBERCOOL minis. I added a few extras for the "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" effect, but the miniatures have such BRILLIANT costumery & WONDERFULLY expressive faces.  Definitely get some if you can.

Moving Snow White's place over to Rapunzel's board gave me a few ideas that I hope to work on soon. I LOVE Pia Zadora by the way.

There you go...that wasn't SO bad. The Halfings are old Citadels; Dead Dick is by White Knight & his Friends are Lead Adventure Miniatures.

After a slow start to the year, I've suddenly become more focused &, consequently, a bit more productive. SO...I'm rather excited about these Guys & Gal also. The possibilities for wildly vivid Renaissance costumes is most appealing.

Well I just wiped out the post I had spent the last 15 minutes working on in a bout of imminent senility or congenital idiocy...I forget which. SO...once more into the breach.

I finished the WONDERFUL White Knight Babe & Beardling, last seen wandering around Town:

AND the bases on the Mercenary Foot are complete:

...hopefully the minis themselves will be completed by the weekend. Having more monthly gigs is a definite stimulus to painting. Please feel free to leave a comment of two...small denomination bills in plain brown paper wrappings are also accepted.

Thanks, Matt...glad you like them. The Little Guys are rich in character & a joy to paint. Down one of the alleyways, I'm going to have to make a Chapter House for the Order...this could be a lot of fun...one thing does seem to spawn a few more things to do.

Thanks, Jevenkah. I'm not sure I could do subdue colors anymore...probably another sign of imminent senility.
By matching their bases to the Bight's cobble/paving stones, I was hoping to make them fit in the setting. I'm glad you think they do.

Wonderful! The babe and beardling look like a
delightful
pair!
I love the bases on your mercenaries as well.  :-*

Thanks, Modhail. Now that you mention it, they do look like a couple...she has a knowing look, & he looks bewildered.
Doing bases is my thing, or, at least, one of the things I like best about miniatures. I sometimes think of the pieces I have based & undercoated in my white over black fashion as being finished. If it were only the case, I'd have a LOT more finished minis.

Wonderful expressive faces that suit your style perfectly.
 :-* :-*



Thanks, Paul. W.K. miniatures do have WONDERFULLY expressive faces; it makes painting them a real joy. I'm delighted you like what I've done with them.

Thanks for the reply, Michka...I needed a jolt of motivation.

The Lass is a Reaper's 02858 Adara, Succubus. She's stepping through an Arcane Mirror that Paul aka Mason gave me quite awhile ago. I did a swirling background on what would have been the glass. Here's a better view:

A large group of beady little eyes staring at one can get disconcerting quickly. Our daughter recently confessed when she was very young, she never wanted to bed down in the playroom for fear the orc minis would spring on her while she was sleeping. Where do these kids get their wild imaginations from?

Little fellas looking good. And I love what you've done with the succubus. I can see her stepping out of the portal, across from a wall of those wonderful face-paintings you did. Of course, then you'd need to make some with tongues lolling.

It's been proven that insanity is hereditary...you get it from your children.

Now that you mentioned it there is at least one swirl that looks suspiciously like a lolling tongue.

Thanks, leonmallett! Progress was rather halting today. I bogged down on color selection for awhile.
After staring at the mirror, coming up with the emerging succubus was accidental; i.e., the girl escaped her plastic prison (bubble pack) & wound up being placed next to the mirror...and that's how The Mirror & The Demon Babe got together. Sometimes inspiration is like one up along side the head.

Thanks, Patsuriku. The Old Guys were painted back in '98; they are a little the worse for wear, but even so, I'm pleased they stood up as well as they did.
The Chef, Roast, & the seated, smoking Dwarf are from a Citadel Dwarf Catapult. The latter Dwarf was sitting on a netted Goblin...the catapult was for hurling unfortunate Goblins. Unfortunately the catapult was a favorite dry fitted assembly thing for my then young sons; ergo. a lot of pieces went missing. They did get more enjoyment out of the thing than I would of if I painted it; SO it was worth losing it as a model.

He is a cool Little Guy though. It would be WONDERFUL if G.W. was still the kind of outfit that could come up with that sort of thing. I had such great hope for them way back when; they are another company that has been ruined by their own success. It's a shame though, isn't it.

BUT on a brighter note. Two more completed & seven plus to go...for the Foot Fellows that is. AND here they are:

Thanks, Michka. I think part of the charm of the minis is the contrast between the staid Dwarfen persona that some games project & the flashy Landsknect styles they are sporting...makes you rethink their character. At any rate I'm happy you like how they are coming out & took the time to say so.

Thanks, W.K.; it is actually a relief knowing you aren't disappointed with the results. Renaissance is probably the best match for my vibrant/garish style...Napoleonics would be/was another suitable period. Here are a couple slightly better/clear photos.

Thanks MUCHO for the reply, Paul. I can't get over how many successful projects you have going at once. I'm glad you like the stuff!
White Knight's miniatures are a PURE JOY to paint. I'd recommend them HIGHLY to anyone who paints for the FUN of it all. I guess that comes across in the way they are coming along.
The BBQ is probably the oldest of the pieces that Cap'n John picked up from moi. It's cool that it still looks pretty good by today's standards.

I've never figured the twisted logic of the Various Cameras of Continual Contrariness...usually a couple fresh batteries is a sufficient bribe. At any rate, it's good to hear you like the results & took the time to sat so.

I will in all probability be cluttering him up with various paraphernalia, but for the most part the joint sculpt is now complete.  

Later...it is my nature never to leave well enough alone. SO I figured that the bow needed loops to avoid the knotty look...

...& the abdominal armor looked plain; & there was that bottle of beads that I use for eyes sitting right next to him...

I'm looking forward to see him in GLORIOUS, garish color also. No matter how enjoyable the process is, the finished piece is what it is all about. Hopefully you & I won't be waiting all that long...hopefully.

Thanks for the reply, weismonsters; it is appreciated! The Dwarves like the compliments as well.
Since he's part of the armor, I think I'm going to do the Face in a steel color like the Door Knockers from Labyrinth except for the eyes, which will get a jaundiced glow to them.

Sounds good. I would do it in metalics too. The face armour in a somewhat unexpected location reminds me of some of the old chaos stuff. Like that Asgard mounted chaos knight, or that chaos renegade with a face on his #ss.

As it often happens, adding the Face was a sequence of little events. I had just done the filigree armor on the Dwarven Doppel Soldat. In comparison the armor plate on Froggy look rather plain & uninspiring. Between the two pieces was that Lion Door knocker from the Mordheim buildings...how it got there is beyond moi, & a little jar with some of the beads I use for eyes. It was Fate aided by a strange imagination...the Devil is off the hook again.

Thanks, Michka! Memorable quips from moi pop up occasionally. It's mostly due to my constant jabbering. It's like the room full of monkeys with typewriters; one will eventually type Hamlet's soliloquy or a Henny Youngman routine, I forget which.

I did have my doubts about the face...I'm glad you like it. It has grown on me, which seem appropriate for the subject. I have the Dwarf Engineer/Crossbowman almost done with the other Dwarfs coming along nicely.  Hopefully some Short Folks will make an appearance today or tomorrow & I'll have some colors on Froggy...bronze of steel for the Face is still a question.

I'd say bronze. I think the bronze will contrast the right way with the skin tone, (assuming it's a greenish hue). The steel might be too many cool colors together in one place. Then again, I don't know what you have planned for the rest of his outfit.

The Froggy Fellow has a sickly albino skin tone with red eyes...looks pretty decent if I say so myself. I tried to get some photos but the flesh tones were blending in with the surrounding white prime coat. The bronze is still a possibility with the pale skin tones; it will depend on the color I use for the trousers. I'm starting to have high hope for the Big Guy.

Thanks, Modhail...glad you are enjoy it. I guess I've finally developed my own unique style although I must admit than Brian Froud's work has been an influence/inspiration. That my stuff reminds you of his work is quite a compliment. IF I put in enough effort I may just deserve the comparison...someday.

The most noticeable thing about Froggimodo before the paint job was his smile. It's only after that his true nature comes out...he reminds me of a muscular Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas. At any rate, I'm delighted you like him & took the time to say so...thanks for the motivation.

Thank, hjorhrafn...glad you like him. I agree: he got much creepier & more menacing with the colors applied. The unpainted Froggy's most noticeable feature was that silly smile. Painted up with unhealthy, pale skin tones & a black cowl, he has the same creepy quality as a circus clown, the kind that leaves children with life long phobias...he reminds me of Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Of course, this was pretty much by accident, but I've been having a lot of fortuitous accidents of late.

And before I forget, the dwarf is quite stunning too. I see your camera was cooperative this evening.

Thanks for the kind reply, Michka! I think having the black surroundings helped the photos...I bribed The Camera with new batteries also. The other settings had to much going on for Her to find the focal point. I'm actually pleased with the photos myself.

I'm delighted you like my painting style. My miniature painting has taken up a secondary role to my terrain building over the last few years. I'm hoping to get them on an even status again.

The basic Froggy miniature was done by my friend, Ben Franck aka floedebolle; I merely added the trousers, jester's cowl, & shoes. Ben also did the Golden Tom Statuette among other things. This his the Froggy Guy he did for himself:

And the original Foggy mini is a treat. That Simon Bradley paint job is stupendous. (You know, I'm running out of adjectives to properly describe the work I see on this forum.)

Thanks, Michka! I have been coming up to speed. I have quite a few REALLY cool things to paint & build that have been motivating me, along with all the encouragement The Forum Folk have supplied...I'm two feathers away from finishing the first of the Doppel Dwarf Soldats.

Thanks, W.K.; I'm delighted/relieved that you like them. You do have some of THE MOST enjoyable miniatures to paint. AND you are right; i.e, with some miniatures, finishing is the best part of the process, but with charming, little characters like your creations, there is a certain sadness that the end is reached rather like reaching the final words of a cherished tale. Of course there are still the Pony Guys to do...OH BABY!

I'm just getting up to speed in looking through all of the photos here. AMAZING work and a beautiful collection!

Thanks, Fram. As always, I'm glad you like them. It has been awhile since I've done even a small unit of minis. I like the the skirmish level mass effect even if that does sound like a contradiction of terms. The Sharpshooter has had his ability to hit a Cathedral at point blank range questioned on another Forum...he's not weary; he's depressed.
I have some Slayers & alternate options coming from Black Tree which I hope to someday receive...the North American Guys have been helpful, but they have to wait for the UK Guys to send their restock. C'est la vie or why me?!

Thanks, leonmallett. I always enjoy other Folks' Group Portraits; I'm glad you liked mine.

I finished the bases for the Knights & Pistoleers:

They look somewhat paler than in real life, but close.
You may notice the Trooper on the left bottom photo & his mount have the same devilish grin.

You're going to have a quite a horde by the time you're done. What faction will these folk represent in the world of DeafNala? Are they the city watch in this seedy slum? Militia or Standing troops more apt to cause havoc as roustabouts in town than on a battlefront somewhere far away? A mercenary company mustering up for adventures elsewhere? Actual invading forces?

I'm still working out the story line. The Honorable Company is similar in size, if not composition, to a Mordheim Dwarf Treasure Hunters' War Band. When the slayers come they'll be at maximum strength of twelve with a couple extra for replacements, weapon up grades plus some hired swords. The Pistoleers could be counted as Road Wardens, The Knights are problematic but I'll come up with something. Since at best I get in some solo games, the Crew(s) are more for story telling & photos than actual gaming.

I have other Gangs planned & some in the works. SO, it is becoming a Horde. The NEED (similar to an addiction need) to make terrain will put the brakes on large numbers of miniatures for better or worse.

Looking forward to see these knights finished besides some of your wonderful terrain.

Thanks for the reply, kaiser. While I too look forward to completion, I try to savor the process...painting & basing at the same time. It slows things down, but it is more satisfying.

Thanks, Michka! Doing the bases is a favorite activity for moi; it's one of those creative things that is all my own. SO I'm delighted you like them.
The Dwarven Pony Boys do look impressive. The minis are rich in character with the Ponies actually having as much &, in some instances, more personality than their riders. It's been quite some time since I painted mounted minis, this might be more of a challenge than it would appear to be....I'm up for it...or not.

Thanks, Velvet Mark. I'm glad you are enjoying my efforts. Your own WONDERFULLY imaginative creations are some of the most unique & inspiring pieces on the Forum...VERY IMPRESSIVE WORK!

Most of the Mushrooms are the result of having extra green stuff; having them on hand makes detailing bases quicker. On the far left, front row you may be able to make out one with a face, a dread Clarabella Mushroom; that one is destined to share a base with a Dark Hold Pack Rat & handler...or two.

This is true. You rarely see a Guy laying in the gutter with a paint brush in his hand.
On the staying out of trouble part, it might be a refreshing change or at least something I've never done before.

Beats me. As long as I limit myself to miniature trouble, the trouble is at least entertaining...hopefully for everyone concerned. I'd like to have a balance between the miniatures & terrain, but otherwise I just go wherever the mood & Muse takes me...I think Thalia is the Muse in question.

I hope you sign this masterpiece in the bottom righthand corner with a miniature DeafNala laying in a gutter with a paint brush in his hand.


Your a mind reader, von Lucky. I was thinking of doing another Goblin conversion of moi...paint brush & gutter would be appropriate. We did a "You in Mordheim" thing on T.B.M.F. awhile ago. This was my entry:

(http://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/13/53/56/41/deafna10.jpg)

Thanks for the kind remarks, Michka. I feel it's only right to take the blame. AND with the Old Pieces in Cap'n John's Self Destructing Case of Horror, it gives me an idea when the mini was painted. I have a stylized AP plus the last two digits of the year...I'll take a photo next time to show you what it looks like. It started when my erstwhile friend Bob & I decided painting runes on the bases was cool; my initials got the rune treatment as well.

There really is quite a striking resemblance...especially the nose. The Little Guy & the "You In Mordheim" Thread were from the days before my relationship with The Camera of Continuous Contrariness & when posting photos was a dream yet to be fulfilled. SO I mailed the mini to my friend Sascha in Wittenburg, Germany. He took the photos & posted them in exchange for keeping the mini. I considered it a bargain.

I've made lists from time to time...that's the German part of moi; with notations in the border that have little or nothing to do with the list...that's my Austrian heritage; then I lose them somewhere or other...that's the problem with growing up in the '60s.

Thanks, Paul. I had showed the Flowers to one of the Girls at Michael's; now she says she gets a creepy feeling that some one is watching her whenever she walks through the Floral Section.
The flowers being higher off the ground are rather condescending to the Mushroom. The Mushrooms in turn are becoming increasingly resentful of their station in the poop & the elitist attitude of those Damned Pansies...The Internationale has been increasingly heard in the Mushroom beds.

Thanks, Modhail! I just got a picture of what the Floral Department would look like if I was in charge...a Goth Michael's. I'll have to suggest it next time I need supplies.

The signature has proved to be popular with the Folks that have bought my stuff or received them as gifts. My erstwhile friend, Karen, the retail pro, said in increased perceived value. Way back when I started signing, two of the Guys in my AD&D Group thought that signing the stuff was a fine way of differentiating our pieces...the fact that our styles were totally different didn't enter the equation. Too late did I realize they also thought of the painting as some form of competition; when they came to the conclusion that they couldn't compete (I had been painting for 15 years before they picked up a brush), they quit painting...this is one of the reasons I dislike painting competitions so fanatically.

I was over on C.M.o.N. when I spied this Mushroom & Goblin piece in 1:1 scale from Industria Mechanika (for a mere $135). It's a WONDROUS Thing that may be the inspiration for yet another Mushroom Variant:

Be that as it may, I have two experimental Mushrooms underway that should look vaguely like the Industria one...kind of.

Actually I don't have a cat. Damnit, the fuzzy fellow in the picture, is Neighbor Tom's cat. HOWEVER, Damnit has decided that I'm his person. SO, we have come to an understanding that he can come here for food, affection, & a place to rest for his evenings on the Town. In turn he allows moi to feed, care, & provide shelter for him...he really is a lovable little rogue.

It does seem to be a fine arrangement all around. Damnit is presently occupying most of my couch/bed. He leaves behind enough fur to build up my resistance to dander...he feels he deserves treats for that.

I have the stem & face sculpted on the first of two trial Mushrooms. Thus far it is lookin' good & somewhat more robust that the other Mushrooms.

I was going to say that the Goblin & Mushroom duo looked kind of Brian Froud, but they're not really in that style. The spook part is, looking at their mouths & teeth, they could be genetically linked...which came first the Goblin or the Mushroom?

These broader mushrooms are departure, but not only do they work fine, they still fit well with all your other stuff. Great faces and expressions on those ones - I think you're so used to cramming enough expression in the smaller ones that with this much space to use you've can add that much more character.

Mushrooms are certainly your thing. I'd suggest doing a lot of variants, go shopping in the supermarkets and pick up various types. You have the little fellows and button mushrooms, but perhaps large flatter style ones like oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc would work a treat. You may even find some inspiration for faces in the natural ones. ;)

I see a Forest of angry mushrooms haha.

Thanks, Matt. They do grow on you appropriately enough.
Funny you should mention it, I do find myself browsing through Wikipedia looking to different types...the variety of real mushrooms is staggering. AND the idea of expanding The spooky Woods into a Post Apocalypse Fungus Forest is becoming gaining an allure for moi...it would give me something to which to dedicate the second half of my life.

Ooh that would be amazing!!! Have you seen the Studio Ghibli film: "Nausicca and the Valley of the Wind"? There is some great inspiration there. Especially the "The poisoned forest" see below:

Thanks for the inspirational pics, Matt. Being out of touch does mean I miss a lot of cool stuff. The poison Forest has some GREAT ideas in it. Those Fuzzy Mushrooms are CREEPY/COOL...definite possibilities.
I have a Fantasy/Faerie Tale Post Apocalypse setting in mind, the Shanty Town/Urban Blight & Heep's Place being outposts of civilization...such as it is. The Hang Son Doong Cavern of Vietnam is another recurring inspiration.

I love the large scale mushrooms. I can see a whole new venue for populating your fungi filled imagination. I was just looking at that picture you posted of the goblin next to the large mushroom and wondered if you ever sculpted any goblins?

Also, "Nausicca and the Valley of the Wind" was shown in American many, many years ago under the name "Warriors of the Wind". This heavily edited version was very popular with geeks and DnD players back in the 80's, when old folks like me called this stuff "Japanimation" and we were lucky to see any animation coming out of Japan.

Thank, Michka...glad you like it. I haven't tried my hand at doing Goblins from scratch...yet. I have quite a little horde of the older G.W. plastic Goblins of the Night & Above Ground Varieties in backlog, but some heavy conversions may well be in the cards.

I missed a lot of things that went down in the '80s. It was a less than happy time for moi.

Thanks, Paul...glad you enjoyed it.
The Witch is one of three in Reaper's 2904 Witch Coven pack (that's where the cauldron came from also). You can get the Girl separately, but the three of them are quite nice. I think the RAFM Wizards Wagon is still in production; it is a FUN piece...if not, I have an extra one.

Labyrinth & other Henson/Froud things have had a definite influence on my work...such as it is. I'm delighted you noticed.

I'll have to check out your Deviant Art spot...I LOVE that place!

Thank for the kind reply, Mars! I've developed a fondness for the Little Goblin also...glad you like him. I got him along with the Dark Hold Goblin Cleric. When they offered a pack of ten of him, I snapped it right up. Now I'm thinking of having him show up in odd places around my terrain pieces.
By the way, Rebel Miniatures is having a Spring Sale.

NICE. The whole thing is brilliant, but I love that stewpot.

Thanks, Fram...I appreciate the morale building reply.
The Cauldron/Stew Pot comes with the Witch Coven. I just filed it down a little & added a G.W. Plastic Zombie hand for shock effect/truth in advertising.

There was a Magical Shop in one of the Myth Adventure series that teleported/transported itself from one dimension to another in a seemingly random way. The "random" part suits how the piece will probably be used gamewise & explains the lack of a draft animal...the goat was relieved about that.

Is that a drainage grate or the cover to an oubliette?

Have you considered making underground terrain tiles using just black and white or greyscale painting, like seen in the pics? I think it would work very nicely with the wonderful colour splashes above ground and then the gloomier underground.

That building manages to be simultaneously quirky and disquietening; I love it.

I concur with Pocoloco. I realise that it's part of your general production process, but I do think that your "before" pictures with the undercoat and drybrush are very atmospheric. If you do have an area where it would be appropriate to leave a selection of models in that state it could be very effective, I think.

Thanks for the reply & the suggestion/idea, pocoloco. I think on of the reasons or excuses for leaving so much of my pieces, especially the minis, in a white over black primed state is that I really like the way they look. Doing the Sin City monochromatic effect with spots of color is appealing to moi. I just have to overcome a conservative streak.

Thanks LordB. There does seem to be a scary/silly quality to my stuff. It is more or less a reflection of my personality & sense of humor; i.e., absurd & surrealistic appeal to moi.
There have been a few suggestions about going monochrome from some other Folk as well. It is something I probably should consider. I think after years of explaining that the black & white is just my way of priming, having to explain that it is now a finished piece may be the daunting factor in a switch.

That's a brilliant building! I love the ambiguity of the eye: decoration or some sort of goblin burglar alarm?

Thanks, Hobgoblin. The eyes like the faces are spooky additions that have become part of my style; almost trademarks. They are mostly atmospheric touches; what they actually are is up to the viewer...gets you involved in the story.

I missed one for the closeup shots, but I figure you've reached saturation point by now anyway. Those that MoM may not want may be looking for a new home.

Those are some great looking mushrooms. Are they by a manufacturer or do you sculpt them yourself? Whichever they are they are very, very well done!

Oh DeafNala, they are some particularly personality filled shrooms! Some of them look a little feisty to say the least.

I like the eye in the floor and the tentacles. :D

If they weren't stuck in place, I'd be a little worried! Thankfully 'running away' will work as a tactic.

In game do these beggars attack minis? Do they use a spore attack to cause concussion and invade the host - turning them into a shroom a few turns later?

Cheers
Matt.

Thanks, Matt. I hadn't thought about them in game terms, but they do represent the possibility of a random attack. One never knows when one of those Mushrooms will go rogue. A little paranoia goes a long way...of course, just having a six foot Mushroom trying to chat you up can be unnerving.

Thanks for the reply, Fram. Michael aka SerialMoM asked for a mix of different Mushroom type; SO I did a smorgasbord of sorts...the who eats whom part is in question.

Thanks, Lord B...glad you like them. For a few years I did D&D/AD&D caricatures/cartoons; the eye in the rat's hole was a standard feature. This one was the only one I wasn't sure that SerialMoM would like...he loved it, which was a relief.

I'll post photos of the finished pieces soon...I hope.

The full color Mushrooms were done awhile ago & added to the newer black & while bases, but now that you mentioned it, they would look good with a monochromatic background. That is something I really should try.

I would imagine that extracts from the Mushrooms that don't protest the process would be the basis of the brew. Some Folks think Compo is in cahoots with the Goblins. Actually it's a partnership...any violence is part of the stockholders meetings other than the fierce competition between Compo Heep's Brew & Temerity O'Leery's Hooch.

The Mushroom are spreading World Wide. This batch will be off to Germany. A few arrived in Croatia last week. There are some reportedly seen in London & elsewhere on the Continent. All part of an International Fungi Conspiracy...or not.

The 'Shrooms do seem to get better with each new batch, but I'm happy to report that, unlike my early attempts at painting, looking at my older Fungus Fellows, I'm surprised how well they've held up on the coolness scale. Considering what a harsh critic I am of my own work, I find this a remarkable occurrence...I think you find this out with your own creations.

Since the photography is such a struggle even when The Camera is being cooperative & I somehow manage to get the lighting right, any compliments on the photos are a big plus to my morale. Here's the Long & Winding Road with a better background:

I've been a fan of miniature photography for almost as long as I've been involve with the miniatures. SO i guess I'm looking to duplicate the quality of those wonderful photos in all the glossy mags & fancy web pics. When I do get a compliment on a photo, it's like getting an Oscar...I'd like to thank all the Little People...which in this case is accurate.

Thanks, randy. I'm glad you like the boards & stuff.
It would be cool to have you drop by for a game...something to keep in mind if you're ever in the Austin area.

Staring at the boards can conjure up fantasy scenes...of course, in my case, that could be imminent senility again.

Awesome. Don't mind about the photo's being too dark. It feels like walking into a grim(m) like fantasy forest, where one just took the wrong turn but is too fascinated by those weird mushrooms to turn back in time  :).
Do you mean to use this for club/shop display, or is it just releasing your creative inner self?

The Mushrooms for MoM & the Witch's Wagon for floedebolle will be off to Germany once I finish some minis for floedebolle. They are destined to be used in their Mordheim games. Everything else is in an ars gratia artis mode.

Post by: DeafNala on July 02, 2015, 01:45:52 PM
SO it's ANOTHER case of one thing leading to another. Pingo from the Reaper Forum gave me the idea for an Faerie/Goblin Tree House from which the Goblin Hovel sprang. It looked perfect for Rapunzel's Twisted Tower, but one or two more would be EVEN cooler. AND now I have a Village underway...it's all Pingo's fault.
Be that as it may, here's what it looks like thus far:

Thanks, Paul. I slipped these in while I was working on the Mushrooms for MoM & the Witchy Wagon plus some Old Citadel stuff for flordebolle..."Old" does not always mean good; SO the break kept moi motivated.
The widows & doors do play tricks on the eyes. They follow the crooked lines of the buildings...crooked is my thing.

Goblins do add a certain style to their abodes the could best be described as slum chic..."there goes the neighborhood" is a positive statement in Goblin Town.
At any rate, I think the possibilities for fun with this one are legion.

There will be some Mushrooms of varying levels of awareness & other such embellishments added as the Beasty progresses. Whether it becomes a wandering scenery piece or a vignette is another question. Be that as it may, I hope you like the Pingo Tree...feel free to comment if you do...or don't.

Thanks, Mars. If I can start getting better photos, doing a photo story/cartoon might be an idea.

Speaking of color/painting: while your waiting for some color on the Goblin Village & the Pingo Tree, I finished a couple of Reaper minis that should fit with The Urban Blight Board & The Spooky Woods...kind of Town & Country:

The photos are EVEN MORE mediocre than normal, but you can get an idea what the Guys look like...sort of.
I'm curious to see if anyone can identify the birds.

Love the Pingo Tree! I think that it should suddenly appear at the bottom of someone's garden one morning.

As for the birds; they look like crosses between a kingfisher, a puffin and vulture - King Vulfins??

More! More!

Thanks, LordB. Popping into existence is someones garden is a VERY COOL idea...WELL DONE!
AND they are a type of King Fisher; SO, unless someone hits the exact type, you are the winner...actually that's close enough (I'll let you know the exact type later). I feel relieved that I made them look correct.

good lord.

Thanks, Fram. Now that you mention it, the Half Orc does have the sort of stoic look one associates with Native Americans, particularly of the Cigar Store variety. I figure it's partially all the feathers both separate & still attached to the birds. The birds I was trying for, by the way, is the Kookaburra:

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Dacelo_novaeguineae_waterworks.jpg/300px-Dacelo_novaeguineae_waterworks.jpg)

...merry, merry King of the Bushes, he. Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra; gay your life must be. Considering the Kookaburra's raucous laugh, deafness might also play into the look.

The Mayor's hat reminded me of the Mayor from The Nightmare Before Christmas, although much smaller. The deranged smile fits with my perception of American Politicos.

The mayor looks suitably evil, I wouldn't trust him with new development proposals for goblin town. ;)

A kookaburra?! I was thinking that when I saw it but thought the sculpt was a little off at the back of the head, and thought, nah, he isn't going to have an Aussie bird. But krikey, there she is. I hope the little beggers don't steal the sausages out of your lunch - they like to do that around these parts. Especially unspecting punters having a BBQ in the park gesticulating wildly, or slow and unnatentive children. ;)

They look fantastic DeafNala.

Thanks, Matt. I can always count on you for a kind word.

The Mayor I think will be destined for a life of crime in The Blight probably as the minion of some vile Gangland organization type...just like a real politician.

The Kookaburras were the characters in a song I sang as a boy long ago. I looked them up back then & decided from their roguish ways that Australians were cool...I almost migrated there back in the early 70's. If I hadn't been talked out of it, we could be neighbors.

Thanks, von Lucky...you are another stalwart supporter of The Project.

Over here Foster's had a series of commercials on how to speak Australian. One had a big, burly footballer place a band aid on the back of his shaved head = Australian for helmet.

Oh that would have been fun, I'd come across and have many a game on your amazing table, and throw the kookies a few snags off the BBQ.

The saddest looking kookaburra I have ever seen was in Osaka zoo, :( the poor thing. I tried but failed at getting him to laugh.

The Witchy Wagon & the Goblins Hovels are favorites with moi also. I'll be adding more hovels once I finish painting the Pingo Tree...probably sometime tomorrow.

Despite the down-under avian wildlife influence, to me the color and texture of your woods are evocative of our north-eastern US forests. That could be because I spend lots of time in said forests too.

Thanks, Jevenkah. The smoke stack ties the Tree in with the Goblin Village...whether It likes it or not.
I spent many a happy hour in one wooded stretch of the Northeast or other myself; I guess it shows. Here in Central Texas, the Hill Country, the trees are wonderfully twisted beasties...very spooky.

Thanks, Thew. It's good to know you are enjoying The Project & took the time to say so.
It wasn't a conscious decision, but I think I went for a loamy, clay look; re, it seems that whenever I had occasion to camp out I would wind up doing so on clay...then it would rain. Quite a bit of my camping stuff & reenactment gear sported rusty orange streaks...it left its mark on my psyche as well.

The area clearly has an active neighbourhood watch scheme going.

On that note, shouldn't at least one of the buildings have a timepiece on it? On the basis that it's not good to have the inclination if you haven't got the time, that is.

Your vision is inspiring. I'm looking forward to seeing the observatory in all its glory.

Thanks, Lord B! Being inspiring is one of those thing I've aspired to be....occasionally.
The Village Clock & its background story would be a perfect touch for the place. I'll have to checkout the possibilities...other than Cap'n John's pocket watch that is.
I'm also looking forward to the Grand Opening of the Observatory; re, I've had that ArmorCast Beasty sitting around for a long time.

Thanks, marianas_gamer. All my life I've dreamed of sailing the South Seas; ergo, I hope your life in Guam is as wonderful as I would imagine it to be...take into account the scope of the imagination here.
I think that the vivid colors that I enjoy may be yet another sign of imminent senility, but I'm glad you are enjoying them nonetheless.

That is an UBERCOOL mini...I hadn't noted his assistant before.  It's one of the pieces I always meant to order from The War Store; then they dropped the line...along with Foundry & Laughing Monk. I did pick up The Seven Desires (I think that's his ma,e) & the Faerie Catcher. SO it wasn't a total loss. I may have to start looking around at alternate suppliers...Noble Knight is supposed to be pretty good.

Surprisingly enough, I got the mini maker right on this one...a rare occasion of late. They're part of the same Black Scorpion Desolation Row line as The Mad Hatter:

BSMDR 14: Gongoid Fairy Catcher

BSMRDR 6: Seven Curses-Desire...I missed the Curses in my description.They're both sold out at Noble Knight, but I see they have most of the rest of the line instock.

Thanks for the reply, Tantalvanic! I'm looking forward to seeing the pieces in living color myself, although there are a few Folks who would prefer the monochromatic approach. You can't please everyone I suppose...at least that's Ricky Nelson's spin on the subject.

Thanks, Matt. ArmorCast makes some really nice pieces. Once the Observatory is painted, I may reward myself with their Steam Powered Snail...or not.
I was originally going to have the telescope trained on The Tower observing a different type of celestial body.

Thanks for the reply, Jevenkah! Creepy is my thing...or one of them.
Those are, indeed, curtains. Since the Hovels are solid, the curtains give the impression of an interior without providing a view...at least that's the idea behind them.

Thanks for your kind reply on two counts: it's always nice to get a positive reaction, AND I left out that the "TRULY mediocre" referred to the photos, which only give a vague idea what the minis look like. All that aside, I'm glad you like the crew. Once I got started on the Professor's & White Knight's mini, I found them to be a delight to paint...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Thanks, Fram...glad you like them! The photos really depressed me...SO I took some new photos of the Lads & Lass which surprisingly turned out somewhat better than the first batch, you can be the judge of that:

I got the Little Critters from White Knight...out of the kindness of his heart. They really are personable creations; a real joy to paint. From the beer swilling Bard I got the idea of including them as Bandsmen that only he sees...a take off on the Pink Elephants.

...well actually, he didn't go anywhere; i.e., the model was finished several years ago. He had his base remove for inclusion on the Spooky Woods Board. That didn't happen. SO he sat, looking forlorn for years awaiting a new base...it was noticed that pieces stored in proximity to him seemed to disappear. Be that as it may, I finally gave him a new base, did some touch ups, & took some less than wonderful photos of him:

And not so much looking sad as just looking really hungry. You need a goblin chef that does home deliveries. Not everyone can afford to eat out every day of the week.

The flesh tone were done with Americana: Heritage Brick base coat highlighted with Georgia Clay then Pumpkin & finally a Sand & Pumpkin mix. The lips are Pumpkin with a Calico Red wash & a Pumpkin highlight while the wash was still wet.

That's grand DeafNala! The twisted finger branches are a very nice touch, right in the sweet spot between branches and fingers. 8) 8)

He honestly looks sad... Must have been because he was neglected on the work bench (glad mine don't have grumpy faces looking at me!).. I like the skull. Haha. Who put that there? Better question, who fought past his wailing arms to reach that spot?

Does he have an engraved graffiti "x was here" on his backside? ;) lol cause he could! lol lol lol

Cheers
Matt

Thanks, Matt...glad you like them. Looking at some of the other Tree Folk I've done, none of them are happy. THey either sad of angry...I'll have to do a merry one some time.
The skull was probably put there by the Tree Guy himself as a sort of adornment like a bow or a beret...or a not to discreet warning.
The carving is an idea. I had one that had a poster hanging from a nail; directly below was the skeletal remains of some ill advised zealot.

I should finish up the last of the W.K. Pistoleers later today with possible photos on the manana...or not

You could do one of those love heart graffiti, with two skeletons below ;)

All things considered, St. Valentine's is more deserving of a Bah humbug than Christmas although just marginally.

Thanks for the kind reply, Schrumpfkopf. The story telling part really appeals to moi also.

Make yourself comfortable; re, this might take awhile to get through. Having just now...now meaning before I took the photos & went through the LONG & LABORIOUS uploading rigormaroll...finished the last of the Pistoleers, I thought an update was in order. In addition to the Dashing Pony Guys I took a new set of photos of the Mercenary Dwarven Rogues, Wizard, & his Froggy Friend; i.e., a second try at some of the poorer photos.

SO without further ado, The Pistoleers:

Wowzers, you have been busy DeafNala! What a cacophony of colour, frills and little faces. They look very smart in their outfits.

I particularly liked the henchfrog in his black leather jacket, very rough, and the goblin assistant - with his stained old shirt I thought of dobee the house elf from Harry Potter, haha. I can imagine a house goblin would be even more mischevious ;)

Cracking work mate.

Thanks, Matt...the feedback is appreciated! I actually only painted up three Pistoleers since the last update of the Order, but the Group Portrait does give the illusion of productivity. The Dwarfs seem a bit oblivious as to the composition of their Order; i.e., there's an Ogre-sized, a Hedgehog Hornist, a Flying Pig on the lute, some sort of maniacally grinning Goblin, & a Zombie Hobbit, no of whom have attracted any notice.

Thanks, Paul...glad you like them. I attribute my love of bright colors in part to the historical miniatures I did in my misspent youth & mostly to the tendency for Old Men to be draw to garish hues...this brings up the senility thing again.

A beautiful and highly deadly warband! A force to be reckoned with, as is their painter!

I've used Scotia Grendel's Goblin's Gate in the background of innumerable photos...I'm not very good at counting among other things...& never took a photo of the piece by itself UNTIL NOW. I think it looks more like a Vampire's Gate SO I added the Vampire Mouse Familiar from Reaper:

Thanks for the reply, Fram. I think that it has influenced the way all the rest of the boards et al have developed. I'm still not sure where it will go or what it will be attached to. Having it pop up here & there occasionally, offering entry to some unknown locale could be really interesting...if anyone had the nerve & lack of good sense to actually walk through it.

SO there is a reason the Floral Section Girl at Michael's breaks into a cold sweat whenever I browse the section. I've been working on some flowers to grow on the vines surrounding Rapunzel's Twisted Tower:

This is one before priming:

AND a bunch all primed up pretty:

AND some Mushrooms as well...when I'm trying to figure out color or such for minis, I make Mushrooms:

Now THAT is an OUTSTANDING idea. The Venus Fly Trap would be horrifying, as would a Pitcher Plant with a face. I can see a trip to the flora section of Michael's in my future.

Thanks, von Lucky. The faces started as rather ghost like things on a Mordheim Chaos possessed ruin eight or nine years ago. The first were sculpted in plumber's epoxy putty; Green Stuff & the Mushrooms changed it all.

The Pitcher Crime Lord or Floral Godfather has possibilities. It is amazing how these thing blossom...the ideas that is.

DeafNala, the work you've done is really inspirational. I've always loved the faerie worlds of Rackham/Bauer/Dulac/Froud and you've managed to create it with your sculpts. The only thing I wish is that your sculpts were commercially available--not sure what kind of games I'd use them for, but I'd find something!

I'm more than a little daunted by the page count on this thread--so would you mind saying again what you use these creations for? Fantasy, obviously, but more specifically?

Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for the reply, Daryl. It's always an up feeling when Folks enjoy my creation enough to comment.
A couple of the folks on a this & another Forum have some Mushrooms they'd like to have cast commercially, but, as yet, nothing has come of it. Of course I do make one off pieces that I give away or trade.
The first Band of Miscreants I posted were Wastrel's Ubergoblins & regular Goblins for Mordheim. I never actually got to play Mordheim SO, while I base my pieces for the most part to be used in a game, it's for no game in particular. It's been decades since my last war game or RPG.

I've been thinking of adding to The Spooky Woods. SO I'm experimenting with DAS, air dry clay, for the bark. You might say this DAS Tree:

Post by: DeafNala on November 11, 2015, 09:11:47 PM
I had this Pointy Eared Dandy sitting in his blister for a LONG time. The blister finally parted ways with the card backing & the separate arm disappeared into that part of the Ethereal Plane normally reserved for missing socks...not pairs of socks mind, but only singles. WELL I couldn't have that; SO I ordered just the missing arm &, once it arrived, I assembled, based, & primed the Adventuring Now-With-All-Pieces-Present Elf. He then sat for another prolonged session in Limbo until the recent spurt of energy motivated me to finish him.

NOW without further ado, The Elf About Town:

Thanks for the reply & the suggestion, Andym! You're right about the DAS...it's tough enough on the bark, but I can see it cracking off on the twigs. I have the thinner branches covered in roughed up hot glue. If that doesn't look okay painted, I'll go with the Green Stuff.

Thanks for the reply, kaiser! I have yet to do the bark in Green Stuff, but I think the weights would be similar. The Green Stuff is definitely more pliable. I usually do the bark in plumber's epoxy putty; the DAS feels like it is about half the weight.

Nice tree, Al.

I made some tree men years ago out of DAS and it is certainly much more difficult to work with than GS.
It does work well with developing a rougher texture, though.

I would certainly go with Andy's suggestion of GS for the thinner branches for the simple reason that DAS is very brittle when it is thin and will most likely keep breaking even with light handling.
It is really fragile.

Nice pointy-eared fella too.
Especially with both arms being in effect.

Thanks, Paul. The branches will either be in roughed up hot glue or Green Stuff. There are a lot of possible uses for the DAS, however; I may try a tower; AND there are a couple of Mushroom Housing thingies in the works.

There is some debate as to whether The Elf is cowering behind the Mushrooms & firing away with some ranged magic OR whether the very Mushroom have risen to protect him. It's a matter of perspective I suppose. In any case, he & I are happy you like him.

Very cool! Is this tree getting a face as well, or is it merely an imposing ancient?

Also love the elf. :D

Thanks, Fram. Your reply is appreciated as always. I'm glad you like The Tree & Elf...that combination seems natural even if done unconsciously.

For now The Tree is just a big, old tree, but with moi the possibility for some strange twist is an ever present possibility. I did add some shelf style mushrooms to the lower trunk & extended the bark up a couple of the branches with green stuff. There will be a few more to the woods; SO a sentient one is a certainty.

I'm doing the white over black dry brush as we speak...so to speak. The next tree I do, I'll add photos of the frame/armature along with a shot of the materials used to give a better idea of the process.

Also the productivity.

I started making a large tree out of DAS when i first joined this forum 2 or 3 years ago. Needless to say it is still work in progress...

Is the metallic building some kind of observatory?

Thanks for the kind reply, weismonsters...it is appreciated. To be honest, I had the armature/frame lying around for a couple of months & I've had the DAS a lot longer than that. Once I over came inertia, the Beasty did move along pretty well

Is the metallic building some kind of observatory?

That is Armorcast's Steampunk Mushroom Observatory. Here's how it looks painted up in their shop:

Am I alone in thinking "STOP! No more paint!"? The tree and surrounds look wonderfully spooky in black and white.

If not this board, perhaps another just in grey-scale with monochromatic denizens? The thought of moving my brightly painted character through those surrounds would give me the heebie-geebies.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply & advice, Joe. The Technicolor Adventurers wandering through a Monochromatic World is a WONDERFULLY SPOOKY idea. It is something I'd like to explore. The atmospheric touch would be FANTASTIC!

As it stands now, the Goblin Village is a fine spot for photographs. The black & white background seems to appeal to The Camera.

I just love that sinister little city scape. I wonder who's going to live there!  :)

Thanks for the reply, Schrumpfkopf. The original idea was the Dark Hold Goblins, although some of the Stone Haven stuff would work as well. Of course, I'm always open to suggestions; re, being on a creative forum can be a GREAT source of ideas & inspiration.

Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project:Updated 11/29/15: Gray Scale Cavern, W.I.P.
Post by: DeafNala on November 29, 2015, 07:24:37 PM
SO, with all the monochromatic talk, I decided to make a couple of mono/gray scale pieces. The first will be a cavern piece. While it would work nicely with Heep's Place or possibly an extension of Rapunzel's board, it will undoubtedly get the most service as a photo stage.

I'm in the carving/gluing stage right now:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN1112.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/40k/Forum%20Photos/Forum%20Photos/Steampunk/DSCN1112.jpg.html)

It's clicking right along as quickly as my putter & tweak approach to terrain building can go...there's already anther piece atop the back wall. I'm hoping the Goblins I have underway will finish about the same time as Grayscale Cavern.

Thanks, von Lucky! I made the conical core with plumber's epoxy putty (similar to Milliput) with a skewer/heavy tooth pick stuck through the center. I mounted beads for eyes & round toothpicks for fangs. Then I did the rock surface in green stuff. I think I may make a couple more; when I do, I'll take some W.I.P. photos.

Wowee zowie super keen  :D

Thanks for the reply, Modhail...the motivation is appreciated. There is something upsetting about a fiery, disembodied eye, especially one that's staring at you from the depth of a pit...I've got to add those tentacles.

I reckon that a monochrome photo booth with flashes of colour is a great idea, topped off brilliantly by the 'EYE'!

Thanks, LordOdo! I'm hoping to gt the tentacles in place later today. I got hung up on trying to think of a way to make them removable...no luck on that. Once they're in place, I can agonize about color.

Thanks, Paul. The Camera seems to like the black & white background...for the most part. The color spots & Sin City look is in no small part due to the suggestions I've gotten on this & a couple other fora...feedback is a major source of inspiration & motivation.

Don't you LOVE those Epic Movies that start with a dramatic scene of some vast area...like the Negev or some such desert in Lawrence of Arabia? Then the camera zooms in on The Hero as the theme music builds in the background. Well I took some photos of The Vault of Pack Rattiness & my Work Tables from HELL! for a rant about something I've decided not to get into AND, rather than waste them, I decided a cinematic approach to my diminutive Heroes-in-Progress would be a fine & inappropriate idea. SO sns the music, here we go:

The Work Space (well actually 2/3 of the work space, but let's not quibble):

There is an old danish joke about northern danes, who a known to be a very sombre/serious people. Where the wife complaints to her husband that he does not tell her he loves her enough. And his response is that he has already once told her that he loves her once and he will let her know if that changes.

Even thou I do not comment on every update. I do love them all.

I will let you know if that changes ;D

Well..it's partly do to being a coffee addict & an insomniac with a lack of a social life plus a streak of bloody mindedness several yards wide, but mostly because I genuinely love what I'm doing. The fact that other Folk seem to enjoy what I do only adds fuel to the fire.

I don't mind repeating myself at all. I do a thin coat of black paint. Then a dry brush of white once the black is dry.

It must be quite liberating to have so much choice.

Thanks, Paul. I was going to do a rant on the Reaper Forum about their habit of calling their backlog of minis "The Shelf of Shame"...I didn't. I think that having a backlog shows that you have the foresight to buy the things you like when they are available AND at a price which is lower now than it will be later. Ergo, I call my backlog The Vault of Pack Rattiness & that's why I happen to have all these photos of the same.

I usually finish what I start, although not necessarily without finishing or starting other things between the start & finish...how's that for a convoluted sentence. I may have been a Juggler in some former life.

Thanks for the reply, beefcake! I hadn't noticed the new milestone...it's more of the Great American Novel than a minis thread now.
The closets are newly reorganized. Cap'n John's Mostly- War Hammer- Minis were moved to his painting area...there are an half dozen or so large cartons filled with something like 7,000 unpainted minis. I probable have less than 1/3 of that. While that is still a lot of things to paint it is less overwhelming that it had been. I'm psyched; the finish line is in sight; & the Old Horse is picking up speed!

You're inspiring me to step up my own mushroom making. Whenever I use epoxy putty for anything, I hate throwing the mixed remainder away. So I usually make a bunch of mushrooms with it and when they've cured, toss them into a tin for later use. But they are all extremely plain/simple in comparison. I hope you don't mind, but I may end up keeping a few photos of your work around for inspiration for future fungi.

The extra epoxy putty or green stuff is how a lot of my Mushrooms start life. I just got carried away after awhile...I have a Night Goblin Army that is hiding behind, marching around or perched on some pretty big Mushrooms. Only the ones with faces, arms, whatever are done intentionally.

I do think I will try to work my way through the rest of your thread from the beginning as soon as I can, though, and get more of the background. (I've only been following this threat since I started visiting the forum a little earlier this year.) It's like a bit of Bode, Bakshi, Froud, Gobbledigook, and some of my favorite miniatures photos from the books & magazines of my youth all blended together and put into amazing miniature visual narratives. You have a great talent for composing grand projects built upon a wealth of detail.

I'm delighted you are enjoying all the project I've been told that the pics don't flatter my pieces by Folk that have seen both. My stuff is a composite of all the inspiring stuff I've encounter over a life time...or a life time so far. I think of it as a monument to what a Crazy Old Man with lots of free time can come up with for entertainment.

Thanks, Fram. Christmas tends to be a bit on the down side for moi; & overcoming inertia gets harder with age. HOWEVER, with a touch of enthusiasm, I can still crank stuff out at a good clip.

Fantastically riotous - and riotously fantastic!

I really like the broad-headed, ruddy-faced goblins in particular: they have a perfect balance of mischief and malignance.

Thanks for that, Hobgoblin! The Path Finder Goblins are a pleasant change. They have such an abundance of charming, roguish personality & teeth. AND they're a treat to paint. Coming up with a color scheme I liked was the only hangup & that had nothing to do with the minis, just a bit of indecision on my part.

Thanks for the reply, Hobgoblin. I'm delighted you like the Little Guys. The Cavern was pretty much built with taking photos of the Subterranean Folk in mind; a Spooky Swamp/Woods for photos is planned. SO I'm particularly happy you like that aspect of the pics.

American Indians, Motorcycle Gangs, & the English have a reverence for Mad Men; that makes moi a Holy Man in three separate cultures. All that aside, I'm happy you like the Little Rogues & took the time to say so.

Thanks for the kind reply, Jevenkah. I'm glad I could supply some inspiration...a laugh or two is usually the extent of my contributions.
The Little Guys do look somewhat less than cheerful. The wonderfully detailed faces were a joy to paint.
It's good to have you drop by...I have a candle in the window for you.

Then one of the Folk on Reaper's Forum posted Racquel Blackrose; AND I had to find the one I had lurking in The Vault to base & prime:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1312.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1312.jpg.html)

...while I was at it & in the throes of Pirate mania, I figured I might as well organize the unpainte Pirates I had kicking around...maybe get a couple ready to paintc:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1310.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1310.jpg.html)

I still have a few more Living Impaired Swashbucklers to base...when the bases arrive from Reaper...I ran out. SO a new distraction. AAAARRRGGH!
Note: minis are by Reaper & Moonlight Miniatures.

Thanks, Schrumpfkopf! The Pirates will be in glorious color eventually...hopefully a soon eventually. The white over black in this case is just my base coat.

Thanks, LordBrentlake. The Goblin miniatures are a delight to paint; each one has a distinct personality. I am delighted you like them.

I'm thinking of doing the Living Impaired Buccaneers in a more ghostly than skeleton fashion...I can feel the need to make a suitable Pirate Vessel, although the Lads & Lass are based for dockside mayhem.

There is a certain continuity to the Beasty...it might be a style developed over the years or simply a rut, but it works for moi.

Deaf you are a machine!  Keep it up you mad man! :-* :-* :-*

Thanks, airbornegrove! I actually was feeling that I had slumped off; those Goblins should be done by now...being easily distracted is a major flaw that comes with age I suppose. That aside, you can count on my continuing to add to The Project.

Oh my stars and little comets, it's a veritable bonesplosion!

I do have this tendency to get carried away with things. The bases arrived today; SO more minis will be appearing soon. Thanks for the reply, Fram!

DeafNala, your painting style is so different from what I'm use to and I love it! Can't wait to see he skeletons completed.

Thanks, Justin. I guess I've stumbled on my own style...I'm glad you like it. I'm rather looking forward to seeing how the Skeletons look all painted up...doing things ad lib adds to the excitement.

Pirates need a ship - can't wait to see what your take on that would be...

Yes they do! Right now I have two Goblin Smugglers, but a Ghost Ship would be SO cool.

My guess is that it will be quirky, weird and awesome.  :)

I'm up for the quirky & weird part. You'll have to let me know about the awesome part. Thanks for the reply, Modhail!

Thanks, marianas_gamer! I agree; i.e., there is something malicious about the Little Rogues...especially the Girl with the whip.

On the Pirates, I found an old photo of the possible Smugglers Cove:

You nailed that. Most Goblin minis look nuts, but these Little Rogues are psychotic. I wonder how their culture is represented in the PathFinder setting.

There always seems to be background activity. It has something to do with basing more than I paint. I did, however, finish anothe Goblin/Gremlin:

They're a riot of colour, in more ways than one. I do like the woof-rider. I can see them hi-jacking a variety of domestic livestock as mounts when on the rampage.

it's a tough choice, but I think this may be my favourite of your groups to date.

Thanks, ZerpTwentythree. I bought them awhile back & wasn't really moved to paint them . Once I got started though all their personality popped up. They have that up-to-no-good Band of Hooligans look to them...my kind of Guys. I'm glad you like them.

Thanks, LordBrentlake! I'm addicted to flashy colors...I'm glad you are enjoying them as well.
I think the Dark Hold Goblins & may be the Harlequin Dwarfs from Black Tree might displace them as my favorites, but right now they are leading The Hit Parade with moi also.

Thanks, beefcake. If the purple tinge is the skin color, I worked/blended up from red violet through terra cotta to camel (a yellowish sand color). It worked out pretty well I think.

That's a splendid set of goblins! I like the long shots/group portraits best of all, as those give a great impression of how all the riotous colours work in combination, and also do the terrific brushwork the justice it deserves.

I love the cheerful malevolence of the bunch: they look like creatures that might spontaneously generate when unguarded thoughts are left to fester in dark places ...

Thanks for the kind reply, Hobgoblin. The Little Rogues are really charming castings. I hadn't realized they were that personable until I started painting them.
I love the idea of them popping into existence in some dark corner. It's an appealing image; it brings to (my strange) mind The Time Bandits appearing in Kevin's closet.
I like Group Portraits myself. The mass effect is greater than individual shots.

Thanks for the reply, Jevenkah...I'm happy to hear it gave you a smile. The Little Guys have a malevolent charm all their own; they were a delight to paint. The fact they've been so well received adds to that pleasure.

Awhile back I posted photos of The Pingo Tree:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=26140.2760

I had intend to add a mini or two to represent the inhabitants. WELL...I recently was marauding my way through The Vault on the pretext of reorganizing when I came upon a charming couple who looked perfect for The Tree. SO here they are:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/Under%20The%20Pingo%20Tree/DSCN1436.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/Under%20The%20Pingo%20Tree/DSCN1436.jpg.html)

...AND Himself:

Oh it's a very small food shop. Sometimes they're in schools or other institutions, but many times (and in eras predating ours) they could be the equivalent of both a convenience store and fast food shop. Small children hanging around tuck shops buying sticky buns or what have you is a staple trope of Victorian British fiction, same way they might hang around a candy store.

The Pingo tree is wonderful with it's new inhabitants - I love that pair! They look like exactly the types to be loudly complaining about those dirty-faced, sticky-fingered young goblins.

Thanks for the info, Fram. I had never heard that expression before AND I never would have found out without asking & you supplying the answer.

I'm glad you like The Pingo Tree's tenants. They do look like they'd complain about the Goblins: "They just don't make proper Hooligans these days!"


Looks like a serious showdown brewing!

...now that you mention it, it does looks like something out of an Old Western Movie. I can almost hear the theme music from The Good, The, Bad, & The Ughly.

I think I told you once before, over at Tom's, but your work still reminds me of the Dark Crystal and such. Also, it strongly reminds me of the "Droomvlucht" ride in Dutch theme park "de Efteling". You should look it up, maybe it'll inspire you! :)

Thanks, Daniel. The Brian Froud/Jim Henson collaborations are wonderfully inspiring. They have definitely influenced moi...thanks for the comparison.
I did a quick look at the Droomvlucht; it is INCREDIBLE I'll have to go back & have a longer look. Thanks for the lead. I really like the Fareie Garden:

The second half of the Foil & Fink Team is done other than the basing that is. I have yet to decide whether to base the two, separately, or together, AND, if together whether to do them on a gaming base or as part of the scenery:
Front:

Back:

The Foil takes the blame; the Fink makes sure he does...Fantasy reflecting Reality.

Also, at some point you'll have to go back to goblin town now that you've got many of potential inhabitants painted up.  :D

Thanks for the reply, Fram. The way I imagine it, the latest batch of Goblins; i.e., the Dark Hold ones, are Rapunzel's minions & the residents of the Goblin Village (name forthcoming & forthcoming isn't the name). The Flash Dressers are making a nuisance of themselves elsewhere, probably at Heep's...they are potential rivals & definitely a different species.

Just remember; you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but can't pick your friend's nose.

...there are things EVEN a Goblin won't do...well at least this one.

Looking at the Little Guys blown up to that size, I didn't do to bad a job at all...they're a little under 14 mm to the top of their little flat heads.

Thanks, Constable B...glad you like him. I often refer to my backlog of minis et al as The Vault of Pack Rattiness...this is the supply train version.
I didn't think the red eye would show up in the photo...very observant of you. I've been working the skin tones up from different shades of red; the Dark Hold Goblins are wine red to terra cotta then camel (buff)...the compliments on the eyes & skin tones are appreciated.

It looks like the Mushroom is suffering from the proximity of the Goblin Drover:

Thanks for the reply, Matt. I don't normally do mass productions anymore, but the Little Rogues have me enthused. Any increase in my attention span is welcome.
There'll be more of an individual approach from now on. That might not slow things down, but it will probably mean longer painting sessions...insomnia can be a blessing at times.

Thanks, Fram...I'm glad you like the developments. Considering the overbites, they do have expressive faces. Beastly is right at the point of a voice change. The Guard was definitely a poor choice for keg duty.

Great stuff as always! I look forward to seeing what you do with those knights on their snouty steeds.

Thanks, Hobgoblin. I'm hoping for good things with the Knights. I will probably do them like the Knights of the Gooey Death.

There's too much to like for one person! Really, everything is wonderful in this massive thread.

Thanks, Schrumpkopf. I'm really surprised at how big the thing got to be. I'm even more surprised that Folks are not only still following it, but some are going through it all from the beginning. I'm happy you are enjoying it.

I like the duets myself...they add visual as well as game possibilities. The Witch has a snail familiar & the Druidess has her rat.

Thanks, Matt. Flash is proving to be a popular character. I'm glad you like him.
The skin tones is one I developed doing Von Shakespeare's Pig. It might suggest a racial similarity when I do the Knights & their steeds.

The Dark Hold Goblin Folk universally have MAGNIFICENT, if some what rat like, noses...I'm delighted you noticed. You may also have picked up a fondness for the hooch in the redness that seems to dominate the nose coloration...at least with the Guys.

AND, later the same day, I finished all the faces/skin tons along with Pig II:
From a distance:

Closing in...just eight more Goblins to completion. Today I just did one shield before I got distracted & wired & primed another Flower Group...of course, the day isn't over yet.

This morning it looked like my painting would be limited to a shield. Then I fabricated & prime some of the Face Flowers. AND I just finished the Ranger:

A Reaper Forum friend sent the stroopwaffels; they're supposed to power me through the remaining Goblins...God know some extra energy would be most welcome.
I'm glad you like the Goblins as well.

Great stuff again DeafNala. Love it as always.

Thanks for the reply, Doc!

In light of a recent thread I wonder if you ever paint anything else/ built stuff for other projects than this?

This is what I've been working on for the last few years. When I first move from Long Island to Texas, I was still doing some mail order stuff; SO there were some 40K squads I did for a couple of Guys who were developing the Death Squad Game, & some 40K terrain for another. I've been painting/modeling & some times gaming for more than half a century now. I've had 18th century armies in 54mm, 30mm Napoleonics, thousand of minis for AD&D (Cap'n John has around six hundred in a display case here), AND lots of minis for commissions.
I tend to stick to a project/theme for a long time before moving on to another. I figure I've only got one good project left in me...this one.

By the way, what is the recent thread? I miss a lot lately.

Job well done!

Really looking forward to whatever 'Strangeness' you come up with next  :)

Thanks, Tactalvanic! I'm glad you like the Guys/Gals/Whatever.
I started on the next bit of strangeness last night; i.e., The Psycho Faerie with the bloodies shears & the decapitated Flower. She fits in with the Rapunzel Gang.

Indeed!
They look great posing all together like that.
A feast for the eyes.

I wish I knew who made the Girl. I got her probably ten years ago, & just can't remember the manufacturer.

Coming along nicely...

Have you ever mentioned how you do the flowers? Do you get pre-made fake flowers and sculpt faces on to them or do you do them entirely yourself, or... ?

Thanks, Fram.

The flower is a couple of floral pieces from Michael's Craft Store. The flower is cloth & the rest is plastic & floral wire with a Green Stuff Face. The flower & the stems are from different floral pieces; I wire them together with the wire making tendrils for show & providing the ability to pose the piece on a practical level.

AND the Flower is finished:

...there you have it...such as it is. This is actually the first time I've chronicled a piece 's progress on a daily basis. The normal thing for moi is to post the based & base coated mini; when next seen, it's done. I must say...well I don't really have to say, but I think I will anyway...I am finding it a motivating way to paint.

Thanks, Fram. on the color question the answer is "yes"; it is blue & it is gold...I wonder if those are team colors somewhere.

Thanks, von Lucky. It's always good/reassuring to hear some one like my color selection.

I was going to do a starry sky thing on the dress to match the one Foot Knight's shield, but I chickened out.

SO, now with some of the inhabitants done, the Twisted Tower, & Village calling for some paint, AND a good idea how I want the Garden, it's time to get to it.
I started the Flowers last night;

Why do I always feel as though part of my sanity has slipped away when viewing these pages...

Wilted flowers wild and wispy.
Once loved, now forlorn
Gone to ground and forgotten
Some passed and others lost,
Oh damn the wilted flowers 
They that are lost in a world of paint and putty 
Small and beyond reach
With pretty faces that reach
out to the heart
to tear it apart

or some such...

Interesting mix of stone colours. Did you think of picking out an individual brick here or there to give it more of a mixed feel, or is there a specific reason the stone work is in starkly distinct patches?

It matches the paving/cobblestone mix, which gives you, the viewer, some idea where the building material came from. AND the bricks/cobbles represent areas of the building that have been patched...shoddy construction.

The weekend was rather unproductive craft-wise. I did start on the Seeress' Hovel, The All Seeing Ivy's Place:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Labyrinth/DSCN1798.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/Labyrinth/DSCN1798.jpg.html)

...AND a little work on Flowers #2-4:

The "Seer's" house certainly fits the bill. Why be a creepy old lady peering through the blinds when you can add a large eye to your house and let it do all the spying on the neighbours.  ;D

Thanks, Matt...glad you like it. Color-wise there are only two choices for moi; i.e., black & white or the usual explosion-in-a-paint-factory look.

The flowers are going to be amazing when they are done.

I like the name "All Seeing Ivy".

Thanks, weismonsters. I have great hopes for the Flowers. I'm glad you like them.
While it's just a take off on the All Seeing Eye, I also like the sound of The All Seeing Ivy...finding or converting the right miniature should be fun also.

Thanks for the kind reply, Paul. All the positive reactions are most appreciated.
I've been enjoying the process. I have a road trip coming up, & it seems like I'm trying to cram in as much painting & modeling as possible before I go. I don't enjoy travelling; but going from point A to point B without going through the intervening distance still isn't an option.

Thanks, von Lucky. I'm rather pleasntly surprised how many folks like the green. I figured with the subdued color chic, there would be less support for my bright colors. I'm  glad you are one who likes flashy leaves & flowers.

Thanks, ZeroTwentythree! I'm delighted you enjoy the green, The flowers will be backed up by The Tower; SO the bright shades should add some flash.
I'm looking forward to the Village expansion. The detailing could be a blast.

@DeafNala You are so great at sculpting and painting characterful faces.  Always a treat to see them.

Hope that you enjoyed the trip.

I hope not, as I enjoy your updates and if you find a 'cure' the madness may stop.
Being purely selfish, of course....

Thanks, Paul. I'm glad you enjoyed the latest bits of madness. I've been laboring on my form of craziness for quite a long time. A return to reality is beyond any chance of occurrence...even provided that it is a place I've ever been. The next step will be more brushwork on the Tower & Village plus the addition of a couple more Hovels & the planting of the Flowers.

The trip was WONDERFUL at least in so far as seeing my Boys again AND meeting my Grandson for the first time. At two months of age, he was suitably unimpressed with moi.

Thanks for the kind reply, GS. I'm delighted you feel that way about The Flowers.

Thanks, Paul! Having a Grandson (a Granddaughter would have been just as wonderful) is something I've looked forward to & really didn't think would ever happen.

Thanks for those sentiments, airbornegrove! I am delighted you are enjoying the stuff.
AND while I'm at it, the second Psycho Faerie is underway.
Here she is early this morning...seen here with some of her W.I.P. Chums:

Good eye, Herby! I wasn't sure where the two faeries were from, but I got the Fairy Meat ID from one of the Folk on the Reaper Forum.

Thanks, Fram. The Mushroom is one of the nastier Fungus Folk I've done...he's not amused by the Faeries taking him for a perch. I'm glad you like the piece & the up coming thingies.

Thanks, Golgotha! You're the first to notice the feet. I went for BIG feet to accommodate the mounting pin...they seem to fit her personality; i.e., she likes stepping on things. I'm getting into production mode, so I'm hoping to see a lot of stuff done also.

One thing though, the black hats are just a little flat. Perhaps some edge highlights in a very dark grey (just a shade lighter than the flat black you've used to paint them)?

nuts too, of course, but top drawer nonetheless.
So: Sorry..... ::)

Now, back to what I should have said......

Bloody brilliant, mate.

Thanks for the reply, Paul. There's no need to apologize. I often don't comment myself; usually because I can't think of anything to say. Late or not, I'm delighted you like the stuff & took the time to say so.

Ha! What a brilliant ... thing!

It reminds very faintly of one of Citadel's old Runequest demons (the Amorph), but is far better executed. It would work brilliantly in a game as one of any number of gorps, slimes, oozes or shoggoths.

Thanks for the kind reply, Hobgoblin! I'm glad you like it. The Whatever might also work for a Mordheim Possessed, although a wildly mutated one.

Thanks, Fram. The Horror is from Reaper: 77114 Faceless Horror. It isn't the most enjoyable of miniatures to paint, but the results are more or less worth the effort. I'm glad you like it...no him or her on this one.
Good observation on the "night soil"...proves you are what you eat.

Faceless Horror? I think the horror is that it seems to have too many faces.  ;)

Thanks ZeroTwentythree...glad you like it! AND it has many too many faces. I'm not sure what if anything the Reaper Folks were thinking of with this name...I'm not a fan of their names anyway.

Post by: DeafNala on April 13, 2016, 07:35:36 PM
The "IT" that came from darkest Ohio in this instance is one of several cool thingies I received in a surprise package from our own ZeroTwentythree. IT was in retaliation for a package of Mushrooms I sent off awhile ago. This Floating Tentacled Whatever was made & cast by ZeroTwentthree & seen here with an old Citadel Leprechaun:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1932.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1932.jpg.html)

...the ruff below the orb reminded me of a clown's neck ruff...Circus Music started playing through my mind. AND two eyes appeared almost of their own volition:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1934.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1934.jpg.html)
 
...followed by a face:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1936.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1936.jpg.html)
 
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1938.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1938.jpg.html)
 
...now IT's ready for some paint; & the Leprechaun has distanced himself from the whole affair.
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1940.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2016%20Random%20Photos/DSCN1940.jpg.html)

I could used this as another example of how easy it is to get carried away with just the hint of an idea, but I'd prefer to just say the Devil made me do it...sounds plausible.

Actually I haven't come up with any photos of clown makeup. It must have something to do with the childhood traumas they are said to have induced.

You would think the Postal Services would be more thorough, but The Mushrooms have been seen on several continents already. They are taking over...they have to be better than Trump.

Thanks, ZeroTwentythree...both for the kind reply & the mini! I'm glad you like him...he isn't quite so sinister in hand.
Now that you mention it, & after I looked him up, there is a resemblance. I did a Garden Gnome for my youngest son awhile ago that looked like a short member of Kiss; although not as extreme, that's what the Leprechaun reminds me of.

Very cool. Love the eyes. Make him look very evil. Who made this mini?

Thanks for the positive feedback, beefcake. I happy you feel that way about the Guys.
The black lining around the eyes does make him look evil...at least when he is blown up to that size.
The mini is an old Citadel. I think it may have been for Talisman, but that is just a guess.

That is indeed the Talisman Leprachaun.
To which you added a whole bunch of character and a scary visage with that lovely paintjob.

In fact, thinking of those old Talisman figures: They would really suit your world and style. Maybe we should see about getting you some more.

Thanks, Matt. I wish I could say I planned the evil expression, but it jsut turned out that way...glad you like it.

Thanks, Paul. I'm happy you like the results.
Although I never played the game, at one time I had a fair number of the minis...this one I got from ZeroTwentythree. They have a certain look & a decided charm about them.

Post by: DeafNala on April 26, 2016, 09:21:04 PM
While Hovel #3 is still in the W.I.P. state, Hovel #4 is finished other than The barrel:

When I decided to add the ArmorCast Small Dwarven Barrel to Hovel #4, I had one on hand that was suffering from an aborted conversion. SO I did a green Stuff fix; it turned out okay, but didn't match the rest of the barrel. Well...while I was painting the Hovel, the term Demon Rum popped into my head. The Barrel is now The Demon Rum Barrel:

Since this tree may or may not be part of a vignette: Swamp Thing, I wasn't going to post it here, but, inspired by floedebolle's (from T.B.M.F.) array of trees, I figure what the heck:

It's a denizen of a swamp:

AND a prime example of not knowing when enough is enough:

Thanks for the kind reply, Andym.
The foliage is mesh from Micro Mark & a mix of Super Leaf Spring & Medium Greens. You just pull out the mesh until it's wispy, spray or paint on glue & cover with the Super Leaf. This is the first try with it. Next time I'll make it wispier for a less dense effect.

Thanks, Fram. I'm delighted you like the stuff.

To be a bit clearer on the foliage: it is Green Poly Fiber fro MircoMark:

http://www.micromark.com/black-poly-fiber-12-oz,9823.html

Its pulled out until it's wispy...next time I'll make it wispier yet...hooked on the branches & sprayed with Krylon Super Quick Spray Adhesive (spots I missed were touched up with watered down Alene's Tacky afterward). Then covered with Super Leaf; I used a Spring & Medium Green Mix:

He looks like he's looking back at whoever is chasing him as he bolts across a field.

He/it will probably look less mobile once mounted on a base, but even then I think the Old Tree would look like he had a sprint in him. Thanks for pointing that out; I missed that perspective. It's "roots don't fail me now".

I bought the Super Leaf awhile ago. Then I agonized over the how-to-do-its. Once I started it was a snap...a sticky snap, but a snap nonetheless. It does look better than clump, or, at least, to my mind.

The beady eyes are quite literal. The  individuality is mostly due to a total lack of planning. Going with the flow is my method...it works nicely for the Mushrooms & stuff though.

Do you do commission work?  :-*

I do paint/sculpt/whatever for other Folk. I used to do it for the money, but now it's more for the fun of it all. P.M. me is you have something you want done.

If things & the Internet are cooperative, I'll post progress photos later today.

Thanks, LordOdo! I'm glad you like them. I just now prepped them; I think they will feature in the Swamp scene.
I'm happy to hear you are still turning out the Mushrooms. I find mine wander off to other places & Folk myself...it's a fine excuse to make more.

Thanks for the kind reply, Thew1! They do remind me of different people...now that you mention the Odd Couple look is there. The first of this type Mushroom looked like the senior George Bush to moi.

An array of mushroomy presidents would be superb.
Going with the Odd couple theme, you could do a poker night in the spooky woods. Don't quite know how the mushrooms would hold the cards without goblin assistance though.
I think the reason I thought of the Odd couple is that those two characters just seem to come across as a double act. You certainly manage to cram a lot of personality into them!
Thank you so much for sharing them all with us.
Cheers  :)

The Presidential Theme might work in that Mushrooms like politicians thrive in bovine excrement.
I like the poker game idea. I have a few in the mix with arms & hands...G.W's plastic Ghouls & Zombies. I wonder what the ante would be.

Thanks again for the reply, Thew1. Replies like yours are a fine reason to post.

Thanks, Matt. Since subdued colors have become fashionable, I'm delighted you like my brighter, more garish palette.
I agree; i.e., despite being on the cute side, the Froud Goblins are scary as Hell.

Thanks, Fram. It's taken a lot longer than I would have liked, but I can see the Beasty will be done in a month or two...if I don't get too distracted..again.

With only a couple of Stitched Monsters inhabiting the Work Table, it was time to add some...plus I just got some cool minis fro SerialMom AND I'm SO weak.
Here's an overview of The Stuff:

Doing him for my friend, Von Kurst, means the Little Loony will actually get to be used in a game. That is a rare & special thing for one of my mini Folk.

Really enjoying this massive project! Wonderful models with a brilliant use of colour which only emphasises the characters.

Also love the way you organise your paint dropper pots in metal racks, it's such a rational method of displaying them for ease of use. Consider that one idea stolen!

He might be mad, but at least is a honest guy who has made the effort of writing "BOMB" on the bomb...

Thanks for the kind reply, Grumbledook. I'm glad you are enjoying the project,
I got the racks from Michael's, a local craft store. They have proved to be useful & durable.

Great figure, especially, as has already been pointes out, the conspicuously labeled, "bomb."

In fact, I'm questioning its authenticity. Maybe it's just a decoy, and the "bomb" is nothing more than a painted coconut or something like that...

Thanks, ZeroTwentythree. It is a wonderfully detailed mini with an abundance of character. Painting it was a real pleasure.
The bomb is suspect; re, not only is "bomb" spelled correctly, it is also neatly printed/engraved. There is the possibility of a Goblin impersonator here...or a new level of Goblin intelligence.

Thanks for the reply, Fram!
The mini is also one of my favorites. I picked up this Little Loony  twelve or more years ago for an all Goblin Army I was raising. The Army was abandoned shortly after I got the mini. SO when my friend, Jim aka Von Kurst, came up with a Hired Sword Mad Bomber for his all Orc & Goblin Mordheim Campaign. I dug the mini out, painted him, & will soon mail him off to the Adventure in the Wilds of Indianapolis.

Thanks, beefcake! I got the beads idea from someone else's piece. The big silver bead will be painted as an eyeball. AND, I've added a hand reaching out of the Goo.

I do plan on continuing the colors of the cobble/paving stones. It's the same colors as in the Blight Board...have to maintain continuity.
Brilliant addition! Maybe a minion of some kind could be stirring the pot? Wouldn't want to leave it unattended, after all...

...now THAT is a FINE idea. I'll have to come up with something/someone that will work in that role. Thanks, Fram.

SO that pink lump between the two sections is now The-Ready-To-Paint Gate:

...from the inside. Just pull the lever & the Gate goes down...occasionally followed by a blood curdling scream:

A lever, or a light switch that any one of the goblins will flick up and down hours on end to annoy the inhabitants inside?

Everything's still growing nicely.

SO with the place/board progressing at a fair turn of speed, I though a look at the Beasty in its entirety might be in order.
AND here's The Twisted Tower & Goblin Village as it looks now:

You can't have Rapunzel's Twisted Tower AND not have a braid of hair for some Fearless & Hopelessly Noble Knight to climb...or in this care hang onto while being yanked upward at a fair turn of speed. SO an almost suitable braid has been added to the Twisted Tower:

...there are benefits to having nothing better to do. It does take awhile to do, & working up the enthusiasm to actually paint the Beasty is another matter entirely.
I'm shooting for a finished board by early July...of this year.

Since you never out grow your need for Mushrooms, AND I need to something with the excess green stuff from The Braid, I made some more of the George Bush (The Elder) style Mushrooms:

Zero! :D  Sing it out, men! Higher, you animals, higher! We open in Leavenworth Saturday night!

If you're going to do Bialystock, then you need to do a Bloom.  ;)

I'm thinking a particularly nervous flower, but you might have a better idea still.

Thanks, Fram! You got the exact Mostel role I had in mind. AND, since he will be serenading The Tower in all probability, he'll be mingling with the Flowers...an inspired suggestion.

Thanks for the kind reply, sundayhero. Your comments are always appreciated. I must admit I don't comment in other Folks' threads as often as I would like or should.
I'm rather surprised just how large the Beasty has gotten. My stubborn streak has flexed its muscles. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying it all.

What I like in your project is that you go as far as you think it's needed. Even small details are hand sculpted and finely painted, and if you think it's a good addition, you will do it.

In my work I'm sometimes frustrated to the fact I have material and time constraints, and it's really enjoyable to see other people "no limit" work. I hope I will be able to go in this kind of project as soon as possible myself !

Fear not, eventually the ceaseless demands of cruel reality lessen. All you have to do is hang on to your enthusiasm & it will all work itself out.
I look at the long hours & tedious work my regular job demanded as training for focusing & carrying on when energy is lacking.  Painting "armies" for other Folk taught me self discipline. Of course, I didn't look at it that way when I was going through it.

The Babes are all from Bronze Age Miniature

The ones with the Dwarf Honcho came with him & the Guards as a pack. The others were sold in groups...I think you can get them individually now.
AND, while prices have gone up since my last visit there, there seems to be a sale in progress    .

Thanks, von Lucky. I did her skin tones awhile ago & then couldn't come with ideas for the rest of her...paint-wise.
She is Reaper's 60036 Visbaronetess Delour Aulamaxa...a Pathfinder mini. I couldn't remember her name; the search engine at Reaper brought her up with a "Fat Lady" key-in.

WOw.. Soo much wonderfullness in one (a few) pictures!! Usually if I'd see so much molds and fungi together I'd be disgusted, but now I am in love! :-*

Thanks for the kind reply, LordOdo. I'm delighted you like the that much. I agree that the Mushrooms do look good together...love Group Portraits.

She is a very unique & well done miniature. I hope I can do up her as well as she deserves.
I'm still debating on the colors. I think the Mushroom Diva, I'm working on may be a deciding factor...if she turns out okay.

That's a mighty myconid morass of fearsome fungal ferocity!

I particularly like the singing/intoning/chanting fellow at the back.

I do have another group of painted up Mushroom. They just didn't seem like enough:

That's my Operatic Tenor Mushroom...I'll come up with a name eventually:

He was a suggestion from Jasonator of the Reaper Forum. The Queen was an aborted attempt at a Diva. I have another Diva in the works.

Looks great! I think the colours on this one are particularly good - and the effluent is appropriately disturbing!

I may have said it before, but there is - in the best possible way - a kind of "outsider art" vibe to this whole project.

I was pretty happy with the colors also; the potion in particular. I'm glad you like it also.
I'm not really sure what "outsider art" is, but I've been an outsider/observer all of my life.

It's Wonderfully disturbingly different and brilliant bit of fantasy, and a fantastic bit of work.

Your imagination is a wonderful thing to see made into physical form.

Always liking what your doing with it  :)

Thanks for your kind reply, Tactalvanic. Between you & Hobgoblin, I have a good jolt of motivation...better than coffee...pretty much.
I'm delighted you are enjoying The Project. I hope you aren't getting too many nightmares from it all...my imagination can be disturbing at times.

Do keep up the use of bold colours, please. It is one of the aspects of the project that gives it its character, and entirely appropriate given the quantity of mushrooms involved.

I envy your imaginative stamina to keep on coming up with new characters and vistas that are totally in keeping with your world yet give it a fresh twist. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks for the kind comment, LordBrentLake. The encouragement I receive here is a major factor in my continuing enthusiasm for The Project.
Bright colors are my thing, AND they do seem appropriate for a Fantasy setting...I'm glad you like them.

I dug Temerity O'Leery's Tower out of a corner of the Vault. That may soon see a place in The Blight.

As always, brilliant work!

Thanks for the kind reply, Paul. It's rather a relief seeing the board & most of the buildings in color.
I have the Steam Observatory underway. It's an awkward, complex piece; as such, it's coming along painfully slowly. After that, the Tower is the last piece. It will probably be easier to do than the Observatory; i.e., it's only complication is its size.
What I'm looking forward to is adding all the details, AND then the photos with all the Goblins cluttering the scene.

Thanks, von Lucky. I was originally thinking red, but the blue looks the part, AND offers the possibility of doing a star field over the top panels.
I'm glad you like it.

Thanks, Paul. I was torn between looking forward to the painting, & dreading it. The thingy is awkward to work on, but has been fun thus far.
I hope you like the final results. Just finishing it will be a highlight for moi.

It will take a while, but you're doing it justice so far. I really like the idea of doing a star field in the roof... maybe even a fade to a darker blue?

(but then it turns out that's no star field, that's only pigeon droppings lol )

Was thinking this too, but didn't suggest it as I didn't think it'd fit the look. Fram has an (elegant!) solution though. I think the main reason I like it is that the blue stands out to the other colours you mainly use. The architectural style is different, so there's no point hidding it using the same colour palette.
Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project:Updated 07/09/16: Steam Punk Observatory underway
Post by: FramFramson on July 10, 2016, 05:20:10 AM
I don't know how feasible it would be to have the colour fade to a brighter blue on the bottom and a darker navy on top, then do the star field on top over that. I know it seems counter-intuitive, since usually the raised areas are what gets the brighter colour, but I think the reverse would work with the starfield. It would certainly look very striking!

The Star Field is one of the themes that has run through my Night & Above Ground Goblins for quite awhile:

...SO it seemed natural decoration, although an addition bit of detailing work, for the Observatory.

I don't know how feasible it would be to have the colour fade to a brighter blue on the bottom and a darker navy on top, then do the star field on top over that. I know it seems counter-intuitive, since usually the raised areas are what gets the brighter colour, but I think the reverse would work with the starfield. It would certainly look very striking!

It is an idea that occurred to moi also. The lighter blue at the bottom would look good. If I could pull it off a red to purple to blue dawn effect rising to the dark blue star studded top would really be dramatic...I doubt I could pull it off though. Since I keep having to touch up the blue, the lighter blue bottom might be given a try.

Very nice. Can't wait to see the big building painted.

Same here. Yesterday night I added a control lever & a couple of gears to the power assisted braid hoist. The painting starts today.

Brilliant!

Originally I was going to do the dome/roof/whatever in red to match some of the mushrooms...now I'm thinking of doing a few Mushrooms with a star field to match the Observatory. Oddly enough, the eye was the one thing that I knew I was going to do before I started painting. I'm glad you like it; it's the kind of detail that can freak people out.

The upper part of the Tower is still just based coated...I use a white over black base. It will soon be as brightly painted as the rest of the village...hopefully.

It's more of an aesthetic thing that I might end up using at some point. The characters in color with the battlefield in the black and white look save for a few small features in bright colors...

Almost like a twisted fantasy version of the red coat trope...

When it's done right monochromatic/gray scale looks fantastic; just as you said, like an old TV show. The white brush I did over a black base coat lacks the subtle blend of grays necessary to pull off the effect. The mono with spots of color for dramatic effect is like what they did in Sin City...looks very cool & atmospheric. One of guys here on L.A.M. had a gray scale Zorro thread going that was really fantastic.

Thanks for the reply, Fram. That's the same reaction I had to the Little Guy...he seem perfect for the place. I'm glad you got a chuckle out of it...that is my aim.

This is so awesome.

Thanks for the reply, Doc! I think it's the surrealistic setting & bright colors that give it an eerie feel, rather like the effect clowns have on some folk. Be that as it may, I'm delighted you like it.

I have in my mind's eye the process of our solar system being formed. Explosion, spinning bodies, debris. Then things start to settle and beautiful planets are created, no life, but burning surfaces por spinning gas clouds.

This will all be disrupted again when a planetoid smashes into the earth to create the moon and restart the creative process again.

For now I'm enjoying the calm. Well done DeafNala.

rather like the effect clowns have on some folk.

This reminds me of the early history of the Toronto Police:

Quote
History
1834 creation to 1859 reforms

The Toronto Police Service was founded in 1834 when the city of Toronto was first created from the town of York. (Prior to that, local able-bodied male citizens were required to report for night duty as special constables for a fixed number of nights a year on the pain of fine or imprisonment in a system known as "watch and ward".)[6]

The Toronto Police is one of the English-speaking world’s oldest modern municipal police departments; older than, for example, the New York City Police Department which was formed in 1845 or the Boston Police Department which was established in 1839. The London Metropolitan Police of 1829 is generally recognized as the first modern municipal department. In 1835, Toronto retained five full-time constables—a ratio of about one officer for every 1,850 citizens. Their daily pay was set at 5 shillings for day duty and 7 shillings, 6 pence, for night duty. In 1837 the constables’ annual pay was fixed at £75 per annum, a lucrative city position when compared to the mayor’s annual pay of £250 at the time.[7]

From 1834 to 1859, the Toronto Police was a corrupt and notoriously political force with its constables loyal to the local aldermen who personally appointed police officers in their own wards for the duration of their incumbency. Toronto constables on numerous occasions suppressed opposition candidate meetings and took sides during bitter sectarian violence between Orange Order and Irish Catholic radical factions in the city. A provincial government report in 1841 described the Toronto Police as "formidable engines of oppression". Although constables were issued uniforms in 1837, one contemporary recalled that the Toronto Police was "without uniformity, except in one respect—they were uniformly slovenly." After an excessive outbreak of street violence involving Toronto Police misconduct, including an episode where constables brawled with Toronto's firemen in one incident, and stood by doing nothing in another incident while enraged firemen burned down a visiting circus when its clowns jumped a lineup at a local brothel, the entire Toronto Police force, along with its chief, were fired in 1859.[6]

I feel like if you swapped humans for various types of non-humans, "policemen" for "watchmen", and orangemen vs catholics for flowers vs mushrooms (or would that be mushrooms vs flowers?), this sort of goings-on wouldn't be out of place in one of Nala's slums.  lol

Post by: DeafNala on July 20, 2016, 07:42:57 PM
There is a healthy tradition of mistrust for both police forces & standing military formations as tools of oppression. I think my slums rely more on the criminal element for honest protection.
Thanks for the background history, Fram. I enjoy that sort of thing.

The Camera has been doing rather well lately. Finding the correct light setting for Her & providing the right light seem to be dong the trick. The occasion flub is when I get the lighting wrong.

Old Guys do tend to get strange as the years go by; getting strange in a fun way is my aim.

Beautiful, as usual. (And in this heat!)

Thanks once more for the morale boost, von Lucky.
We had some rain last night & possibly into today. SO the temperature is now in the balmy, although steamy, high 90s. Staying close to the A/C by the work table adds to the productivity.

Love it, epecially the roof of the wizards observatory.

Thanks, weismonster...glad you like it.
When I finally decided on the dark blue, the star field popped into my head. Some Folks have a Muse that whispers in their ear. Mine smacks me up alongside my head.

Amazing work, Al.

Thanks, Paul. Having the details noticed is a BIG plus. Folks that do notice tend to return for a second look.
I'm hoping to continue with The Project for the rest of my life. If that is a long time, I'll just have to accept it...some fist pumps may be in the cards here.

I started on a Swamp Hovel. It may or may not be part of a diorama. I could be the start of another area to explore. I've also been thinking about doing some conversion stuff with the Horde of Old G.W. plastic Night & Day Goblins. The ideas are whirring around my brain like a gyroscope on steroids.

SO with Rapunzel's digs finally finished, I started puttering around with the Swamp Thing. Whether it will be a gaming board or a diorama is yet to be decided. Either way it fits with The Project.
Early in the week I started the Witch's Hovel &  built & primed the dock & base:

Yesterday saw the roof, smokestack, & doors sans detailing added. AND the Beasty has been primed. I playing around with the tress & positioning. I'd like it to fit in the display case if I do it as a diorama...of corse, they make a longer case as well is I go nuts...nuttier:

For some reason that reminds me of my granda's old farm. The only eyes peeking out of buildings were likely to be old dogs or the ocassional cat, though. lol

Very nice finish on that. Realistic and evocative.

Thanks for the reply, Vemis...I'm happy you like it. Bringing back a memory of your Grandpa is a plus for moi.
The nice rough texture is for the most part natural to the foam I use. It gets that way just from cutting it to shape.

SO...The Swamp Thing being a rather short term proposition, I dug up The Blight from the Vault. I modified a building that was going to go with The Twisted Tower AND came up with some new walkway ideas that might carry me through to completing the Beast.

Here's how it looks next to The Twisted Tower (there will be a connecting alley way eventually):

...an overhead view:

The Swamp Thing looks great so far, especially as I have always wanted to build a waterfront house on stilts.

I seen this picture and immediately thought you had built a cresent moon and attached it to a roof top!

That might be a good idea? Build a cresent moon with a face in it, like the old GW Bad Moon symbol, and fix it onto one of the buildings at the edge of your board?

Thanks for the kind reply, Andym.  The crescent moon effect is a cool accident. I've been shooting through the opening in my florescent lamp...it's where a magnifying lens used to be...& it reflected on the display case in back.

I did a Bad (crescent) Moon on the chapel of St. Lascivious' Graveyard:

...the Moon was a scrap piece of foam I had laying around.

What I meant mate is have a 3D one attached to the roof, paint it like it's lit up and glowing over the tiles, shining over your town.

Now THAT is a REALLY COOL idea, & not just as the Bad Mood, there are other possibilities. I could also see adding the steam pipes to the Moon/Head for a power version.
Thanks for the inspiring ideas, Andym. If they come to fruition, I'll give you credit.

Whoa, that certainly is an idea!

Lots of potential there.

It could even be a Statue-of-Liberty style thing, where it's a hollow metal skin over a truss framework (or fabric skin over a wood framework) and maybe spots at the eyes or mouths where there's a wrought-iron grille or grate to show it's hollow (maybe this is a bit ambitious!). Of course you already have an observatory...

Or some kind of living creature, chained to the roof so it doesn't float away? (the physical supports would be the chains... an old miniatures trick).

The Statue of Liberty wold work nicely with the Smuggler's Cove. As a roof top sign it could become The Swamp Thing...definite possibilities for a few places.

Post by: DeafNala on August 15, 2016, 06:32:14 PM
While I was figuring out the next two buildings for The Blight, I had nothing to keep my hands & eyes occupied, ERGO, I made some more Mushrooms. While working on the one seen on the far left, its cocktail stick armature snapped; the fix left the Little Guy with more animation than normal. It looked cool to moi; SO I tried it on the rest of the Guys...except the armless ones:

After much gnashing of teeth metaphoricaly & some expressions that the clergy don not know, I have Building #6 (The Hungry Eye) all done up in black & white.For ease of painting, I have the Beasty in pieces that fit well enough together that for the time being no gluing is required. SO it's photos time:
The interior of the upper floors:

I'm glad you stopped by to checked out the stuff, tomoqui. Thanks for the reply!
I have been cooking along a a pretty decent pass for an Old Guy. It's seems that the more I do the more I want to do...that seems to be  the key.

Thanks for the kind reply, Pappa! This one is a transition piece to the Goblin Quarter down the street...a twisted alley may be in the cards.
I understand that my old house once had a strange face over the front door, It was a diabolical visage I was told, but that was years before I lived there. The house was pretty strange even without the front door decoration.

Will that be the entrance, accessed via ladder/stairs, or is it going to have a balcony?

Thanks, Paul...glad you like it. The brickwork is surprisingly relaxing. It's one of those things I enjoy doing, which could explain the horrid condition of the plaster on most of my buildings.

I like the fact that the door is on the top floor.
Will that be the entrance, accessed via ladder/stairs, or is it going to have a balcony?


I've been debating that also. The door was one of those unplanned features. At first I was thinking of a loft door, but I didn't want the hoist. The ladder is an idea, but I was thinking of adding a perch. The exact nature of a flying creature that would call this place home is something that might be best not to think about.

I think this has to be my favourite of your boards so far which given the stiff nature of the competition is really saying something. It really rewards careful observation, which is far more satisfying than everything being obvious at first sight.

We are all fortunate that you are sharing your creation with us.

Still achieving a high quality.

For a moment I thought you had doors that wrapped around corners (before I realised is was an edge building) in that first photo. While corner doors make no sense (more material for a smaller opening), I'll be seeing if I can incorporate that (unitended) idea into a future build of mine.

Thanks for the reply, hubbabubba. I would love to say it was all planned out, but it is pretty much an ad lib thing.
Crafting the doors has become a favorite occupation with moi. I'm happy you like them.

Thanks, Thew1...I'm glad you like it.
I didn't have any particular place in mind when I did the crafting, but it reminds me of a couple real & fictional places as well. I looked up The Shambes; it is a much nicer neighborhood, but still claustrophobic.

Fantastic wee town! Great vision, brilliantly realised! :-*

Thanks, Andym! The morale boost is appreciated.
This is a physical representation of the villainy, debauchery, & squalor that Washington D.C. represents spiritually.

When I dug out The Blight to work on a few months ago, there were two tentacles in the cellar window of the only complete building on the board. I was pretty sure there had been three. Now that I 'm at the detailing stage I figured I'd add a couple more to fill The Thing & the window out:

Where do you source your door handles/gears from? I want to believe old watches, but I know that's unlikely.

WELCOME BACK! AND thanks for the reply, von Lucky.
I did get a few from a couple of old watches, but most I got from an online jewelry company, eebead (they don't carry the gears anymore) & Hasslefree (they still do).

There is nothing new to report on The Blight; re, I volunteered to paint a D&D crew for a Fellow T.B.M.F. Guy. They're Freeblade minis for a Pathfinder game:

Thanks, Schrumpfkopf...that's what I was hoping for. I'm delighted you like them.

Nice vibrant colours - they make a good contrast with the gloom of the buildings.

Thanks, Steve F! In this case the colors were picked out by Ken or his crew of RPG Folk. I'm surprised he/they went for a coordinated look.
I'll have to take a some photos of them in The Blight before they are of the Darkest Oklahoma.
I'm glad you like them

Thanks, Paul...glad you like the stuff. The package should arrive at Ken's today. He liked the photos; I'll let you know his in hand reaction.

The Watch House's pun potential is too good to pass up. Considering the neighborhood,  watching from a distance is THE WAY to go.

Following a suggestion, I made a few Twisted Telescopes:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Return%20To%20The%20Blight/DSCN2842.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/Return%20To%20The%20Blight/DSCN2842.jpg.html)

...one of which wound up in the Watch House:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Return%20To%20The%20Blight/DSCN2844.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/Return%20To%20The%20Blight/DSCN2844.jpg.html)

The Watch House may get a chimney pipe or two. It seems more the sort of place to use braziers for heat & other things best not though about.

I did a little modifying & started adding color to the S. White Pharmacology Consortium.
I added a back piece that limits the interior view & provides a roof top walkway:

I like very much the colors...

Thanks, jacques. I'm delighted yo like the colors...that's my thing or one of them.
Hopefully I'll make some progress every day...hopefully.

Thanks, Paul. I'm pondering what sort of furnishing to add that will add to the creepy feel of the place.
AND thanks for the vote of confidence on the colors.

Love it!

Thanks for the morale boost, Gabbi! I'm glad you feel that way about the stuff.

How about getting some standard furniture and have tendrils growing from it in the style of your 'vegetation'?
That should make it look 'alive' and pretty damn creepy.

Oh, and eyes, of course.
Plenty of eyes....

I hadn't thought of adding tentacles, eyes, & things to regular furnishings...I wonder why not. I do have some old pieces by a few mini makers...a spooked out conference table might be fun. I have a Mimic (Treasure Chest with teeth) somewhere that seems destined for the attic. A disturbing, living/possessed painting might be a nice finishing touch...I have a couple in the Probably-Deceased Wizard's House down the block.

Thanks, dinohunterpoa! I just did the spray finish on the Beasty. A couple of spots (eyeballs) will get a touch of gloss. Then it's done sans the detailing...that's where the FUN begins. There will be some signage; & I have a few ideas for furnishing the place, but that will be later on.
Photos when the Internet permits!

Brilliant.

Well...I haven't gamed in a long time, but most of the things I paint & make are done so with games in mind...although not any specific game. Artist & prophet are titles that other people give; I come up with ideas & make things that reflect them...usually the ideas pop up while I'm making something else. Madman does come closest to the mark; Crazy Old man is how I think of myself...I'm sure the neighbors would agree.

I sometimes wonder if anything is totally original. I can see a lot of different influences in my stuff; Labyrinth is certainly part of it all.

I originally was going to use the Mimics in S. White's Attic, but the Wizard's Place gave them a better view.

There's no coincidences, only synchronicity!  ;)

That may well be the case.
Wyrd makes a BIG Teddy Bear that would be a perfect Toys in the Attic type although a tad on the too tall side...it would, however, explain the roof damage at the Wizard's Place.

I think that the Reaper fungi (3 different miniatures) can also be useful to this great project of yours:

Brilliant!

All the extra details are really bringing the place to life.
Everything has a purpose and real character.

Thanks for the kind reply, Paul!

SO the Wizard's Digs now has a Dust Devil...an evil form of Dust Bunny....haunting the attic.

Lovely. I like him and I like the tufts of growth on the roof tiles.

...

One thing I am not a fan of (shock) is your roof tiles. They seem too long and/or straight edged along the bottom. Most of the time the final coat of paint sorts it, but this foliage is definitely helping. And I'm having a case of déjà vu in telling you this already. Or could be madness.

Thanks, von Lucky. I'm glad you like him. The tufts are the shorter grass from the Heki grasses...I like the effect also.

I'd like the tiles to be thinner, but the overall effect, especially from a distance isn't bad. You might have mentioned it before, but I forget things of late...it's that imminent senility whatever.

Thanks, beefcake...still plugging along. The thought that I might have reload ALL those photos was a little disheartening. Everything worked out okay though.

I also have a few more pumpkin heads underway...two are going to Noctuary....plus a Big Bird & Rider (the bird is tentatively called Thunder Chicken with our own Thunder Chicken in mind). Photos are forthcoming.

AND Thunder Chicken is in the works...I got the name from one our Oh-So-Talented Fellow Forumites. I hope he doesn't mind:

...the Chicken Rider holds the Rod of Directional Influence; re, one up along side the head works far better than mere reins. I got the rider from one of the Guys on L.A.F.; neither he nor I know with any certainty where he comes from or what he actually is supposed to be riding. The Thunder Chicken is Reaper's 03092 Axebeak.

The Pumpkin Heads are also coming along. Photos once they are delivered to their new owner.

Funnily enough I have that same rider, procured here on LAF too. He's a goblin wizard spider rider from grenadier

Thanks, beefcake. It's cool knowing who made the the Little Guy AND I do love the old Grenadier stuff.
He does look good on the Spider...he looks like he has the same fear of dismounting as he does with the Chicken.

It's actually quite a good mini for mounting on whatever you want isn't it. I had it without the spider as well and was going to mount it on a hasslefree mawe.

He really is a splendid Little Guy with an abundance of character. I primed him up & had him all set for painting the day I got him from Zero Twentythree; he has been waiting for a mount for some time now.

Hut hut hut! :D

Thanks, Fram. glad you like it...whatever it may be.

I added some color last night:

I think Blight Base should be known as Bright Base in future, your choice of colours being so rich.

Thunder Chicken is gonna be great!

Thanks for the color reassurance, Paul...glad you like it.
I have high hopes for Thunder Chicken. I also have a cool base all painted up...it was going to be for a G.W. Free Lancer, but I have yet to get around to painting him.

...practice, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! Well I'm still not ready for Carnegie Hall, but thanks for the kind words, Fram. The morale boost is appreciated, especially considering the source.

And as part of my denial (a River in Egypt) of Cruel Reality, I was motivated to finish the Rider part of the competed Thunder Chicken:

...AND now he's now mounted...the base was finished two years ago. It has been the possible resting place for a variety of Mini Folk. The Thunder Chicken takes the base:

Thanks for the reply, Matt. I can see where the dismount could be problematic...& not just because of the Chickens evil disposition.

Thanks, beefcake...the morale boost is appreciated!
The Rider looked like he might enjoy a nip now & then...especially considering his mode of transportation.

The Roof & The Thief got some attention:

I'm making alley ways that will connect The Blight with Rapunzel's Twisted Toweer & Goblin Village & eventually to the Smuggler's Cove. The Witches' Isles (Islets of Langerhans), Shanty Town, & Graveyard fit together. AND Heep's Place & The Spooky Woods are the third area. They all are in the same general area just separated by uncharted lands.

I took this mini out of the display cabinet to make room for Thunder Chicken. I had gotten the miniature from a WAMP Fellow awhile ago. It was an ugly piece; SO I based it & "improved" it by adding eyes to the skull on the staff..."improve" & "silly" being synonymous to my mind, such as it is. Then it sat.
Well...I'm starting to populate The Blight. A Underworld Crime Lord would fit right in. In this case the Underworld was the sewer system...a perfect locale for his Ugliness. AND now I have him underway.
This is what I accomplished yesterday:

...the Chicken Rider holds the Rod of Directional Influence; re, one up along side the head works far better than mere reins. I got the rider from one of the Guys on L.A.F.; neither he nor I know with any certainty where he comes from or what he actually is supposed to be riding. The Thunder Chicken is Reaper's 03092 Axebeak.

The Pumpkin Heads are also coming along. Photos once they are delivered to their new owner.

Haha! I don't mind at all. It would be an absolute honour my good man!  :) :) :)

DeafNala, I think you are a survivor of the crazy old game days of the 80s!  ;D

EDIT: Your marvelous stuff inspired me to collect a band of giant mushrooms (myconids?!) to harass my players in their next trip to the Enchanted Forest! You know that, once shamelessly beaten by one of those fungus-creatures, your are swallowed and go straight to a torture room in a damp and dark dungeon, where your darkest secrets will be painfully tortured from you...  :o

By the time the '80s rolled around, I was a D&D/Ad&D Guy painting the few figures we'd need for the game. The game has long since been left behind, but I'm still painting.
One of the Fellows on the DM's Craft Forum has a Mushroom Cavern game going. Some of the Mushrooms are impressively sized.

I had move The Blight board to my rolling work table. It was sitting next to The Twisted Tower. SO I took a couple of photos to see how the look together

There will be an alley leading from that space between the Seer's Shop & Marley's Fine Spirits to the Tower/Village eventually....a path leading down would be cool also.

Thanks, Malebolgia! I'm delighted you are enjoying it. I can see that I'll be adding peripheral pieces even when the main board is  complete...if it can ever really be called "complete". The ideas for interesting places & character to inhabit them just keep multiplying as I go along...a long life might be interesting after all.

Those are... a LAF robot and some Warmachine figures?

More great window treatments BTW. Do you slip them in from behind? I thought you were just sculpting them in place, but I noticed the crosspeice is fully over the sculpture for one of those. Or do you just add the crosspeice later?

It is a L.A.F Robot. The Little Mechanic is a Bombshell Babe miniature: 60006 Shrapnel, & the other two are Reaper: 50165 Decker Lugstampf & 50178 Andre Durand, Time Chaser; I added a little plastic tube to the end of his pistol's muzzle & drilled some ventilation holes for looks.

More great window treatments BTW. Do you slip them in from behind? I thought you were just sculpting them in place, but I noticed the crosspeice is fully over the sculpture for one of those. Or do you just add the crosspeice later?

The faces  were sculpted then glued onto the back of the window. Next I sculpted the curtains in place, painted the faces & curtains; then the cross piece (I'm not sure what they are called).

Thanks for the reply, Fram...glad you like it. The window treatments are tests for The Blight Board...so far so good.

A prime example of a lack of focus. I really should be finishing the Druid & Frog...or one of the other things I have under way, but I wound up doing a conversion of a Vulture Guy a Fellow L.A.Fer, ZeroTwentythree, made & sent me. He had added the Morheim accessory lantern to his. SO while I was copying that, I made a bell for him. Now he's the Town Crier...kind of:

...funny you should mention it. I was just about to post some photos from The Twisted Tower. I had made a group of disgruntled looking Mushrooms, AND had the perfect spot for them to vent their spleen: Under The Garderobe:

That is a good point. I'm sure there are things Vultures would find cheery; I rather not think about what they might be, but I'm sure there are some.

While I'm fairly certain you can have too many Pumpkin Headed Horrors, I can never seem to make too many of the Seedy Guys. SO today I started on the next batch/patch/whatever. These are more typical of my work in that they are being done for no particular reason or person other than for the pure joy of it all.This mornings work:
...a Pistol Packing Pumpkin sans base. Without the base, you get a better idea what the true color is:

It was one of those days when staring into space seemed The Thing to do. I did rebase the Shaman to include give him a bit more atmosphere & a couple of Mushrooms for company:

Some progress has been made today...sort of. I have the next three Pumpkin Heads assembled, primed, based, & ready for some color.
...a Little Guy with a blunderbuss & a Big sword:

Thanks, Tobias. I'm glad you like the additions. The Little Guy with the two hander is a feisty rogue; I rather like him myself.
I have a mystery disappearance I'm investigating at the moment. The Big Guy with the sword & pistol is missing. Only his sword arm has been found after an exhaustive...Old men get exhausted easily...search. Foul play is highly likely. I figure rather than go nuts, I'll make a story out of the thing.

Thanks for the kind reply, dinohunterpoa! If you ever draw a blank on the parts, let me know, & I'll give you the info.

The Tall Pistoleer remains missing. Two possible witnesses were questioned:

...the one on the left said: "muffgooblik." The one on th right: "We were in Switzerland at the time." Both seemed plausible.

...with nothing worth watching on The Tube, I should start coming up to speed again...such as that is.
One of the pluses for taking photos is that they point ot little slips that are missed in a casual viewing. Some touch ups are in order now.

NEWS FLASH: The errant Pumpkin Head Pistoleer has been found & reunited with his sword arm. He was found upside down in one of the paint trays. His Comrades were thrilled to see him...for the most part.

Thanks for the reply, Tobias. I didn't realize how much I missed the Big Melon Guy until I found him...I haven't figured out how I missed seeing him before.
I'm happy you like the Shaman. When the rest of his crew are done I'll do a Group shot on one of the boards...The Spooky Woods is a likely candidate.

Thanks for the reply, Paul. The morale boost is appreciated!
The Pumpkin starts with a Russet wash to darken the low points. Then I paint all the high points light, bright orange that has a touch of brown to it (Canyon Orange). Then a Iron Oxide/Rust wash, highlight again with the Canyon Orange, & finally a bright Orange highlight. It sounds complicated, but it goes pretty quick,,,not letting the washes completely dry make for a smooth transition.

Pumpkins are about it for me. The occasional bit of orange clothing is usually done in a brighter, less organic shade.

I was just thinking...in some way your project reminds me of Kingdom Death. Not because of the theme (they are WAY different :D), but the way you conjure a setting and theme and translate it to your miniatures. Seeing the pictures makes me want to see and know more of your fantasy world and how it all connects together. It's just such a novel and fresh approach, I really love that 8)

Not because of the theme (they are WAY different :D), but the way you conjure a setting and theme and translate it to your miniatures. Seeing the pictures makes me want to see and know more of your fantasy world and how it all connects together. It's just such a novel and fresh approach, I really love that 8)

Thanks once more, Malebolgia. That's quite a nice compliment.
I love most of the Kingdom of Death stuff. I have no idea what the background is, but the voluptuous Babes & the imaginative Knights, especially the Flower Knight, are wonderful creations. They are way outside my price range, which has saved me from going off on a tangent.

Before The Move from Long Island to Texas, I did most of my painting for other Folk. Once I settled in, I figured I had one more decent sized project left in me. This time I would follow my own fantasy visions with some influence from the things I had come to love within the genre....things like the works of Jim Henson, The Frouds, Tim Burton, Terry Pratchett, Bugs Bunny, Mark Twain, & others. You can see the influence while it still remains my own spin on things. I am delighted you are enjoying it.

The Camera pointed out a couple more spots to be touched up...if I take enough photos the Beasty will be perfect.

This is such an amazing thread!

Looking back through some of it, what struck me, aside from the incredible creativity, is how vibrant and beautiful your colour usage is. I was looking at the trunk monster; the tones you've got in the wood grain are fantastic.

Looking forward to seeing some more.

I do love vibrant colors. With the current subdued shades & limited palette in vogue, I am always pleased that someone else enjoys the bright hues.
I will keep at it as long as my heart continues to beat or whatever it's doing in there.

I think they should paint up fairly nicely; they pretty much match up with the Reaper Jacks.
I have a few more blanks ready for green stuff. This may be a Pumpkin power play.

Thanks for the reply, Fram. I'm glad you like my take on the Jack O'Lanterns.
The gritty look wasn't really all intentional. I guess it is just my style. Some look more Reaper like than others.
I have one particularly sinister Fellow that will wind up as a long legged scythe wielding Grim Reaper type.

Earlier this week I finished a Pumpkin Head for our Fellow Reaper Forumite, knarthex aka George. This was a special Drow style piece; re, George is a part time Drow.
Well...it got there safely today. SO here's what a Drow  O'Lantern looks like:

...there you have it.
For those into parts: the head is a Reaper Jack O'Lantern
The body is a G.W. (out of production) plastic Night Goblin
The arms are G.W. plastic Goblin, legs are G.W. Empire Militia
AND some green stuff on the hood.

...a couple of the Witches' Coven Witches had their bases removed & received their base coats:

...some West Wind Gypsies were recruited as Supporting Cast:

...the Gypsy Dancer on the right seems to be having some second thoughts about it all:

...there is a West Wind Gypsy Vardo awaiting assembly & basing, but that is for another day. All in all not a shabby day's work.

Brilliant, Amigo.
I am loving this infestation of Pumpkinheads, and it seems that you are too
 :-* :-*

Plenty of character in the other figures too, and those Gypsies look just perfect for their role being such nice and characterful sculpts that I am sure will fit your style so well.

Thanks, Paul. I am enjoying the new stuff & how it works with the setting. It is a great way of losing myself in my craft.
I do hope you & the other Forum Folk will have as much fun with the progress as I.

The Hunters are a more stylish group of snappy dressers. Ergo, they should look good if gaudy. At least, I hope they do.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Fram.

After a drop, a fix, & a touch up, the first of the Witch's Hunters is done:

Thanks for the kind reply, Maleblogia! That is my favorite of the Reaper Jack O'Lanterns; re, he has such a delightfully roguish expression.

By the way these Guys are Witch's Hunters; i.e., they work for the Witch & hunt the Witch Hunters...serves the Old Lady Burners right.

Today was one of those "set-things-right" days. When everything was back more or less as it should be, I started doing another Von Kurst style Pumpkin Guy. This time I took photos as I did the conversion/assembly work.
This is the body all pinned together with a floral wire rope belt:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3489.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3489.jpg.html)

..with the Jack O'Lantern head, G.W. plastic Zombie arms, knot, & pouch:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3495.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3495.jpg.html)

...the next step is to mount him on his base, & do a shoe extension for the Clown Feet look that has become SO chic with Pumpkin Heads this season.


AND later the same day, I got the Little Guy based & shod:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3501.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3501.jpg.html)

...that should be it for today.

Once I got home I took some pics:

I am of that age where it's difficult to tell if I am really dead or not anyway. I figure I'll just keep painting until they come & take me away.

Not sure if someone asked this before and it may come off as a bit newb-ish, but why do you go with the white over black undercoat? I mean I can understand the advantage, but does it make a difference on how the miniatures come out?

Also, this is a great thread with a lot of inspiration. I think I've been through it all twice now :D Awesome work!

Thanks for the kind reply, Maxromek. I am delighted you are enjoying the stuff.

There are a couple of reasons for the white over black. It's easier on my old eyes. The details are much more obvious.
The white makes the highlights brighter & the black deepens the shadows. This pays off with the bold (loud) colors I enjoy.

I don't mind repeating myself at all. Feel free to ask most any question about how or why I do something.

Awesome, thanks DeafNala.

I was thinking in terms of highlighting the lights and deepening the shadows, but now I can also clearly see that it's useful for the details to pop up. I will give it a shot and see how it goes for me.

Cheers again,

I see you survived your cold (man-flu?), at least for now.  ;)

I love the pumpkinheads, I wish that kind of models were part of, say, Reaper's ranges (Bones models like these would be such a blast!).  :-*

Fantastic for Halloween gaming scenarios, and the likes (my Christmas Wars project springs to mind, also. Well, I have a lot of scarecrows, some even with pumpkin heads, to paint, so I shall probably bee fine  lol

Thanks for the reply, Argonor. It does look like survival is a possibility.
I'm glad you like the Pumpkin Heads. I'd love to have the Goblin parts available again. For that matter, a range of Pumpkin Heads with interchangeable parts would be great.
Reaper would be a good outfit to do the kits. They are a bit dense; SO they'd have to be convinced it was their idea all a long.

I'm playing around with ideas for a Headless/Pumpkin Head Horseman...Pumpkins may be as addictive as Mushrooms.

One of the Reaper Forum Folk suggested making the scythe a toothbrush. I figure if I get another that with the brush, a sack full of teeth, & some faerie wings, I could do The Tooth Faerie from HELL!.

It would be nice to see all the stuff used for some game or other. With no local gaming stores & the nearest convention an eight hour drive, the chances for having one are rather slim. I do keep looking for good homes for it all though....if only you lived closer.

I did finish another Witch earlier today. This one was sitting close to finished since sometime in 2012. She was for my friend Suzy, but old Suzy moved away before I finished her Witch:

It's a shame you don't get to game with all this lovely stuff, unfortunately Gloucestershire is a bit of a trek to Texas! At least you get to share it all here on LAF. Those are some great witches!

One never knows what the future will hold. I haven't given up on the gaming idea quite yet.
I'm glad you like the Witches. Thanks for the reply, Globlin!

Thanks, Paul. Witch are among my favorite Fantasy characters. SO I'm delighted you like them & their bases.
I may have to do a Group Portrait of all the Witches sometime.

Love the Reaper Witch trio/coven.  It is one of those sets of figures that didn't naturally fit in my normal interest in figures, but they are so good I used them as adjunct professors at my Gordon Institute For Archeology And Paranormal Study.  Wonderful figures and "The Last Hurrah Project" is a delight that I never get tired of visiting.

Thanks for the reply, War in 15MM. I'm glad you are enjoying The Project.
I've done the Coven a few times now, & they are always a pleasure to paint.
I can see where they would fit with your Institute...do you have a link to the thread?

I received my Hounds today. They were due yesterday, but the Post Office went strange on me. They shipped from Dallas; then it was in transit for most of Thursday. That evening instead of being accepted in Austin; the package was back in Denton. Then it went to Austin...insert B SciFi/Horror mood music here: BOOOO-OOOH-OOOH
I also finished the "good Things From The Garden" piece:

Pulp Alley might be the way to go.

I had a set I made up for Mordheim. That was a few years ago though & I haven't a clue what happened to it.
Doing a solo would be a good story telling device for photos.
Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project:Updated 01/23/17 Hounds & Rats
Post by: DeafNala on January 23, 2017, 11:12:59 PM
AND what I did today. I had received in a round about fashion two packs of Hell Hounds. The older & somewhat more cartoony ones I removed the intrical base & base in my usual fashion for Von Kurst's Gang:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3602.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3602.jpg.html)
 
...next a couple of mushrooms & a base coating were added:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3604.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3604.jpg.html)

...THEN I scoured the Vault of Pack Rattiness for a quartet of Dire Rats that I had done some time ago...'08 to be precise...to serve a Hounds for The Witch's Hunters. These got some touch up & some new grass & a new matt finishing spray:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3612.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN3612.jpg.html)

...for comparison size & compatibility checks:

He does look the part no matter which side he's on he is a grim, implacable foe.
He is a pretty recent Reaper release...I knew I'd find a reason to buy one.

The Witch Hunter is Jakob Knochengard, special edition miniature from last year's ReaperCon - a very bad sculpt anatomically speaking IMHO, but with lots of fine details and just perfect for the context it will be used, a great choice, DeafNala!  ;)

Thanks for the kind reply, dinohunter. Anatomical realism isn't a strong point with me. Jacob is a regular item now...I hadn't realized he was a special.
I think he will fit nicely as an opponent of the Old Lady Burners...or a turncoat for that matter. I'm looking forward to painting him regardless.

Yes, that bunch looks quite the part! They'll come up a treat.

Which mini is that on the far right? I confess I'm not quite sure what's going on the head of that sculpt, but I think that's just the angle of the photo. Looks Privateer Press-y, but I could be wrong (maybe it's Reaper Chronoscope?).

She is from Reaper's Pathfinder range: 60085 Lirianne, Gunslinger. The Pathfinders tend to be smaller than the rest of Reapers pieces. This one has the tiniest face I've ever done on a more or less human sized miniature...the hood & the hat limit the view even further. I did her face before I even based her to make sure it was there & it looked okay. The somewhat off appearance does, however, make her work with the Witch's Crew somehow...we'll see how well once see's done.

Thanks for the reply, Ragnar! They do have a certain duality to them. I adds to the surreal feel of the place...I hope.

Thanks for the reply & the comparison, dinohunterpoa! Blanche's miniatures were really quite something; I guess they still are.

Thanks for the kind reply, Normsmith! I'm glad you like her. She looks somewhat better in person. My Camera of Continual Contrariness objects to photography other females.

Always worthwhile to review the thread. :D

Thanks, Fram. I try to keep it interesting or, at least, strange.

The pirate island in which I currently hide live has a long and interesting tradition of witches; their current generation is indeed charming and interesting to say the least! 8)

Thanks tor the reply, Battle Brush! This is the main one. The Next To The Last Hurrah! Thread was just to show off my old Night Goblin Mega Mob; it is unlikely that it will be updated.
The two Pumpkin Heads above are Reaper Jack O'Lanterns with G.W. Goblin legs, & a G.W. Pistoleer pistol hand; all the rest of the parts are from G.W. Empire Milittia. The Pumpkin Heads that preceded these used G.W. Zombie parts as well.

DeafNala, not only your conversions/constructions are ace, but your "Pumpkin Heads Witch Hunters" concept is VERY ORIGINAL as well! Since pumpkins are traditionally associated with witches and such, I've used "pumpkin head nightmarish warriors" (mostly converted WW Pumpkin Heads Killer Scarecrows) as part of my evil witches' minions and magical constructs in our games universe, but I've never in any medium seem their kind before opposing witches, WELL DONE!  ;)

Still looking forward for some kind of "pumpkinmobile" full of witch hunting gear! :D

I've gotten Folks confused with my names more than once. The Pumpkin Heads are the minions of the Witch(es), They are the arch enemies of the fanatical Witch Hunters....they hunt the Hunters.  I picture the Witches as being somewhere between neutral & good. The Witch Hunters aka Old Lady Burners are the Evil Guys.

The Cinderella Coach is a BEAUTIFUL & IMAGINATIVE creation...it gives me some ideas for that West Wind Gypsy Vardo I've had waiting in the wings.

You aren't the only one that got my meaning wrong. SO it's must be the way I phrased it.

I am planning for ages to make a Witch's Vardo pulled by an unicorn-looking horse! (it's clearly a horse with a wooden "horn", because we all know that there are no more unicorns in the Enchanted Forest, right?!) ;)

I've been thinking about the how-to-do for a Vardo for a long time as well. I'll probably wind up doing something weird to the West Wind one I have.
It would be cool to make something loke this though:

When I was younger & about as foolish, I did a Navy Arms blunderbuss kit. It was a beauty despite my ineptitude at such things.
While it wasn't a particularly impressive piece size wise, it had a report that only the artillery could come close to...a truly fun gun.

Post by: DeafNala on February 11, 2017, 08:45:30 PM
Getting sidetracked can be fun & worthwhile on occasion. While I was looking for an errant piece for the Red Brotherhood, I found an cute Old Couple: Spook & Molly. They were a bit worse for wear & Spook had a damaged pike. SO I did a bit of a make over/touch up/pike repair & took some photos of the results. Spook is a out of production G.W. Night Goblin with some modifying. Molly is one of my erstwhile friend, Dirk's creations. She is a S.O.U.S. = Squig of Unusual Size:

I love Spook and Molly. Very nicely painted.

That is cool. This is the one I have:

I made a wagon (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=78599.msg1003485#msg1003485) for my own witch/gypsies(that remain unpainted)

Thanks for the reply, beefcake. I am happy you like Spook & Molly. I named them for a couple who were my Dad's friends from his time in England during WWII: Bill & Molly. When I was a boy they used to exchange letters with my Dad. They sent me a couple of really cool wind up cars & Queen Elizabeth Coronation Album...a very nice couple indeed.

Making a Vardo is something I would love to attempt if only I had more time.

Normally she works her best after a new battery bribe. She still doesn't take flattering photos of female miniature though.

The Pumpkins are great!

Thanks for the reply, Ray. I'm happy you enjoy the photos & the Pumpkin Folk.
I started painting miniatures right around this time of the year back in '63. I was coming up on my 16th birthday. SO it's been 54 years & counting.

Great stuff, Al!

Thanks, Paul. I'm glad you like the latest additions AND the Group Portraits.

In The Great Swamp of Gwahr, attached to the Witches' Isles of Langerhans, & adjacent to The Haunted Graveyard of St. Lascivious, is the Shanty Town of the Witches Goblin Minions. This is the home base of The Witch's Hunters; the nemesis of the self Righteous Order of Witch Hunters aka The Old Lady Burners. Less some Hench Persons, these are the Gang that I just finished & am about to inflict on you.
 
For those who have hitherto been spared any knowledge of The Shanty Town, here are a few photos to spoil that state:

SO here is the second of Von Kurst's Hounds:

People use to paint black fur with strong grey (or even white) drybrushing, so much that it ends up looking weird. They usually don't realize that, in miniature painting, white is not white and black is not black. DeafNala, your hounds look very menacing and natural, perfect work on the fur to say the least!  ;)

BTW: My witchy girlfriend send regards, said she loves your pumpkins in the most Adelic way!  lol

Thanks as always for the kind reply, dino! I'm delighted that you AND you Love like the Crew. I have to get your Girl a couple of the Pumpkin Heads.
I have a formula for black: I dry brush charcoal over my white on black base coat. Then I do a black wash. AND finally a dry brush highlight of the charcoal (dark brownish grey).

DeafNala, thank you so much, but please don't! In my game group's Enchanted Forest Adventures my girlfriend plays with a coven of witches (obviously), frequently flying in brooms and throwing explosive pumpkins to the the poor villagers below... Now, shameless stolen your ideas inspired by your work, in our last game a few days ago some of the pumpkins actually blew into weirdly-menacing pumpkimheads blunderbuss-wielding warriors... So that the helpless villagers just hate you, my friend!  lol (still only got 4 of them (converted WW GHS0001 Pumpkin Headed Killer Scarecrows, still unpainted), but I see their number increasing in the near future, OMG! Pictures will follow soon.)  :D

I have a formula for black: I dry brush charcoal over my white on black base coat. Then I do a black wash. AND finally a dry brush highlight of the charcoal (dark brownish grey).

I use almost the same formula for black, but in black fur I add a final highlight of dark blue (midnight blue)... and it works! ;)

Thanks, dino. I'm glad you like him. I picked up a bunch of the Vampire Wars stuff a few years ago. Most are based up & prepped with a few completed pieces. I have their Vardo; it is small but rather nice nonetheless. I haven't decided how I want to base it or whether or not to attach the horses. I'm leaning towards making a camp scene.

DeafNala, you already told me about this WW vardo of yours, I'm talking about the one you'll scratchbuilt yourself with a removable roof to put the figures inside (for when the gypsy family is attacked by hungry wolves or something even worse in the narrow mountain roads of Carpathia...) :D

Anyway, IMHO every cart or wagon must be detachable from its horses (or whatever creature is being used for traction) for that kind of "camp scenes" you are willing to do!  ;)

BTW: Talking about gypsies and fantasy gaming, I strongly advise you to take a look (a good read, actually) in the old OOP Ravenloft book about the VISTANI; since it's now on public domain, it can be downloaded for free here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/lylygrclo3hts28/Ravenloft_-_VISTANI_Guide.PDF

The separate horses & wagon or caissons & cannons is how we did it when I was a historical gamer. It seems like The Way to do things. With the Vardo I was thinking more of making it a display piece.

Thanks for the reply, Paul. I'm glad you like him.
Any Horror setting could use a violin, AND, if poorly enough played, a heavily armed music critic.

I know of a minstrel that once used the tension of the chords of his violin to shoot the arch like an arrow straight thorough the master cultist's hand, making him drop the sacrificial blade and thus saving the kidnapped peasant girl at the last moment... "That's what us traveling bards do", he said later with genuine modesty, "We IMPROVISE!"  ;)

The great thing about gypsys are their colourfull clothes, and you really made them shine! Will they be evil-doers or innocent travelers passing through your villages?

Thanks for the reply, LordOdo. One of the nice things about the Gypsies is they are supposed to be arrayed in the garish colors I would have given them anyway. I'm glad you like them.
The Gypsies are destined to be the Witches' foils. They look like they could work with either Gang, but the more rural Von Kurst Group will most likely be their regular employer. I have the Chief underway. I will be adding the two with the torches, but the Girls will wait for the Vardo.

...if the Girls looked like that one they'd get some paint, but they aren't very good miniatures. SO they'll wait for the Vardo. I might try to hunt for the Ral Partha Gypsy Dancing Girls I have left over from my Ravenloft days...they could arouse some interest.
Right now I need to play with some Green Stuff, take some photos, & paint a couple of buildings.

What the deuce!!!! This isn't Frother's!!!  ;)


From what I've heard about Frothers, they would have a string of expletives between "Painted" & "Girl".

Thanks for the kind reply, Wirelizard. I am happy you like the stuff, especially the colors.

I have had a few pieces of Magical & Non-Magical Paraphernalia ready to pain for awhile. SO I painted them...I love these color background pieces.
They were destined for S. White's, but now I'm not sure. Well wherever they go, here they are:

I have him primed & hovering over a Mushroom. I'm not sure how high over I want him SO he isn't glued in place yet. Getting him to stop rotating out of position was a pain:

Thanks for the reply, warlord frod! The morale boost is appreciated.
As Faeries or in their normal persona, these Goblins have NUTS locked up.

I am ok with the idea of goblins trapping and trafficking bottled faeries... but a Goblin Faerie (or Faerie Goblin?) is a little bit disturbing even for my quite insane mind...  lol lol lol lol lol

For the goblin faeries, perhaps having them leaping from the mushrooms if you're still thinking about how to position them...

Providing inspiration is quite a compliment.

AND thank you for your enthusiastic reply, dino. The Flying Goblin Lads do blow some preconceived notions about Faeries.
I am delighted you like the stuff...the ongoing support is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, SotF. Both the Goblins are positioned such that a leap off a Mushroom would look good. Bending the wire forward would help keep them from swinging around as well. One will leap & the other hover...of course, there may be more.

I had the same type of problem with some conversions I did a long while back using the Mantic Ghouls (with a few zombie bits if I remember right) mixed with the Reaper Dragon Man conversion pieces. It's tricky to come up with a good pose that's also stable for winged humanoids that aren't just standing there.

I've had a couple of flying pieces that after awhile the glue holding the wire to the base dries & the spins around when moved...on one or two the effect was funny enough to let them stay that way.

I'm taking photos of the Witches' Isles (of Langerhans) today. SO there will be a Grand Tour eventually.

They probably leave a bill for their services...I wonder if they know The Donald.

That would be a cool project or side-project. I think a conversion would be more up my alley than a from-scratch piece.

That's my base coat. I paint the piece, mini or terrain, with a thin coat of black; then I do a white dry brush once the black is dry.
I do it partly for the effect on highlights & shadows, & partly to help pick out the details for my tired old eyes.

AND the Girls will be happy to hear you gave them the thumbs up.

DeafNala, they've come up very Blanche-like in the best possible way and yet so original, CONGRATULATIONS!  :-*

And yes, we want MORE, please!  ;)

Thanks again for another kind reply, dino! I do enjoy John Blanche's work; SO the comparison is a very nice compliment.
I just got back from a trip to distant Bee Cave. With nothing much on the tube to distract me, I just might have something new this evening or early tomorrow to post.

Those fairies are awesome. They look very mischeivous.

And thanks for the link to the Gardens of Hecate website. I love that kind of thing.

The faeries look superb!

I think Gardens of Hecate is the best miniatures blog on the web. It's consistently amazing. And it's not just the extraordinary conversions and paintwork that are inspirational (and they are), but also Ana's own inspirations: Croatian folk rituals and medieval allegories and carnival masks and the-Devil-knows-what else.

I am delighted you like the Faerie Fellows. Thanks for the reply, weismonsters!
Ana is a VERY talented Lady. She produces some truly inspiring things in miniature. She also has a spot on Deviant Art:

I agree with everything you have said about Ana. I subscribed to her posts. Now every so often one shows up in my email to amaze & inspire me...it's nice to have something to look forward to these days.

Thanks for the links, Fram. I love those Jean Baptiste Monge miniatures...even at 54 mm. The Bogs Miniatures just gave me an idea for a more mobile Mushroom.

Thanks for the kind reply, Paul. The Camera has been a Good Girl lately.
There was a little discussion about what a group of Goblin Faeries would be called. Their bright color brought to mind Von Richthofen's Flying Circus...the name was immediately stolen...I'd bet he doesn't want it back either.
Some time today I hope to take some photos on one of the woodsy boards with all or most of the Faerie Folk.

Thanks for the morale boost, Gutbukkit! It is appreciated.

I have some Mushrooms & such that I will be making for a couple of Guys on the DM Craft Forum; SO I am going into Mold Mode. As such, the Bog Miniatures Mushroom Guys were just too cool not to try my hand at. The first two, W.I.P. & just about done:

...thanks for the link, Fram.

I also converted & base coated a new Evil Faerie Sorceress, formerly a West Wind's Dwarf Wars Good Wizard:

Things will be getting wore or better, depending on your point of view; re, I received a couple of beautifully illustrated books on Mushroom. Where this leads is anyone's guess.
I also added a Winged Wizard to the Flying Faerie Folk:

Thanks, dino. I am happy you like them thus far. There will be some progress photos below...can't keep you waiting too long.

Thanks for the kind reply, Doc! I'm glad you like them. It shows that if you stick to something long enough you may improve...maybe.

Thanks, GS. I love doing the faces; SO I am delighted you like them. There should be more of them; re, I have an empty spot in the Spooky Woods that needs filling.

Those trees will haunt my dreams.   ;D

Thanks for the reply, Ragnar! I have had Folks tell me my stuff gave them nightmares. These two may be responsible a little insomnia for me as well. MY brain, such as it is, decided I'd slept enough at about three something. SO I got up & did the base coat on the Trees...you get a better idea of how they look now:

Ihave been zipping along with the Twin Spooky Trees. A Monk/Hermit (Dark Hold Goblin) was painted up as the resident sage:

...we have become Old Friends doing this.
I started on the Last Hurrah Project shortly after I moved to Texas from Long Island in '10 & learned how to upload & post photos...friend Justin gave me his old camera, & Edwin taught me how to upload the pic & opened a PhotoBucket account for me. Of course I spent years working up to this. I first started painting miniatures for games in 1963.

Thanks, dino. I am happy you like the stuff.
If things stop cropping up to distract me, I hope to have some finished Mushrooms to post soon.
I do have the bases partially done & I am now working on the Mushroom Wizard.

Thanks for the kind reply, von Lucky. There are recurring themes through out my work. The star fields is one of the more dramatic ones. It would appear to be a tedious task to do, but I find it relaxing & enjoyable...I think it's the randomness that appeals to me.

...napping is my favorite sport. Thanks for the reply, von Lucky! I am happy you like the Lads(?).
The dark iron is Gun Metal over Metallic Black Sequin (Americana/Deco Art). It does give a nice dark metallic color very similar to wrought iron.

, they're that kind of miniatures and scenery that, when put on a game table, makes the other players dumb for staring all the time at all those wonderful little details and painting effects!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

BUT somehow I still have hope that one day you take them to a game convention near you! To make all the other players dumb, of course!  ;) 

BTW: the GF says she loves your mushrooms! And, since she's a Glock girl, she's not afraid of them! :D

All to true sadly.

And someone also with a Southener, I am curious: are you able to game much?

I am very fortunate to have the same game group of 4 dearest friends for 30+ years now; even living in separate cities nowadays, we somehow manage to get together and play once every month at least. And I am also very fortunate to have a very enthusiastic gamer GF and her gorgeous and very funny friends - The Vampire Supermodels - to game every week (a Gothic Horror with a modern twist RPG heavy on miniatures action).  :)  

And thanks to Vampifan, we're planning a Judge Dread Miniatures Game campaign for the near future...  ;)

I am glad you like him, beefcake. Thanks for the reply!

DeafNala, I am a very lucky guy!  :D  Please feel free to come by whenever you want - maybe we can get you addicted to playing miniature games and napping under a beach umbrella!  ;)

...napping is my favorite sport.

That aside, what I meant by"The Girl needs some Mushrooms of her own" was I would make a little grouping & send it to you for her...& you too of course.

No problem, we can put a blindfold in you (101 uses for a bandana) before throwing you down the cliff, what about it?!  ;)

DeafNala, you just got me SPEACHLESS! I mean, I DO really appreciate that! She will love it! BUT you'll have to come by and deliver in person, ok?!  ;)

(anyway, we can happily include a stop in Texas in our trip to the US next year! :) )

I'd love to drop it off in person, but, things being what they are, I'll have to rely on postal carrier.
HOWEVER, if you are ever in the Austin area, you'll have to stop by.

Thanks for the reply, Hobgoblin. I am glad you like the Wizardly Fungus. I figured the Every Man/Mushroom Flunky would be the favorite, but Old Blue Cap is the Man?Mushroom.

I did post some photos of The Twisted Tower awhile ago, but a revisit might be just the thing.
I'll go through the old pics & add some new ones as well.

...I tend to be slow on the uptake with the names also...it's the spelling that does it.
On the Reaper Forum they use a knight on foot as a standard size comparison; he's a pretty bland miniature named Sir Forscale. I thought Leo better suited my setting. He will be running in terror from all sorts of little & large Horrors just for a size comparison.

Their time has come...I started painting the Black Tree Dwarfs, The Zwerenjagers. These are Black Tree's own miniatures.
When these are done I plan on doing the Harlequin Dwarfs I got from Black Tree...they've all been waiting patiently for awhile.
SO I finished the painting of the bases & some gun muzzle enhancement:

I agree heartily with that. I had a Navy Arms Blunderbuss. It was a short, unimpressive weapon until fired. It's report was like a small cannon, startling foe & friend alike.

SO...I started out mass painting the Little Rogues. Once I had done six faces & beards, I found that there was just a bit too much difference from one mini to the next to do them assembly line style. The one-at-a-time should go just as fast with the plus of being more enjoyable. All that aside, the first Gun Slinger is done:

...when I have leftover green stuff, I normally make mushrooms of the smaller sort. When the green stuff is excess from making Mushrooms, I make scrolls or faces:

Thanks for the reply, dino! That is a cool looking mushroom.
I recently picked up a couple of nicely illustrated books on mushrooms. The variety of shapes, sizes, & colors is staggering.
I am very pleased that they have become my main form of miniature making.

It is much better to live in hope than to wallow in despair. I'll take the "make a joyful sound" option.

AND a ray of hope...sort of. Last week & yesterday I receive packages of WONDERFULLY crafted accessories from Daniel aka tauster of D.M's Craft & Paul aka Matakishi of Tea House Fame for some of my weird thingies. These are the ones from Daniel:

There was a time in my life while myself and my RPG friends were living in separate countries, we used to send each other odd things like props related to our fictional game universe, together with little stories about them... VERY FUN! :D

The painting part of the Siren Dwarf's base is done. Once the Dwarf is finished, it will get some grass tufts, a matye spray finish, a little dry brush on the tufts, & a gloss finish on the slimy ares & eyeball:

Thanks for the reply AND the mini, Tobias. The Dwarf inspired his own surroundings...I'm happy you like the base.
The Little Guy is proving to be fun to paint. The metal Siren used is very hard & brittle...much like Rackham's. Be careful when you do your other pieces.

SWEET INSANITY!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

DeafNala, that scenery is AWESOME! Hope it will see some Mordheim-like action in a near future in a game convention somewhere!  ;)

And those 3 mushrooms in the base are much more interesting than the figure itself IMHO!  :D

Thanks, dino. I am delighted you like the boards.
I am afraid you will be disappointed about the convention. The nearest gaming convention would be Reaper Con up in the Dallas area. It's a 8 hour drive. To bring the boards I'd either have to make several trips or rent a van. Add to that the expenses of a hotel stay & admission. I just don't see it happening.

Just let me get to Texas some day... What about a Games Convention Tour road trip in a motor home or something?!  ;)

Yesterday I started on three bases for photos: a spooky woods with Evil Moon, a narrow street/alleyway with tall overhanging buildings, & either a sewer or cavern. Each will have foreshorten background scenery. The street & sewer, if it wins out against the cavern, will double as connections to other boards.

...the spooky woods board. The Evil Moon will go in the upper right corner. I may try to have mounted so I can swap the Evil Face for the more normal Moon:

I have no idea whether that would work. I'm pretty sure the conventions are wide spread as far as location & dates.
I've never gone to a straight gaming convention...I have a problem with crowded places.
Of course, I'd love to see you even if we just go out for some good meals & visit the local sites.

I am presently having a problem accessing my PhotoBucket account. SO there won't be any new photos for awhile.
...BUT WAIT I didn't think this would work, but I tried taking the image address from my Reaper Forum Posts & imbedding it here.
The results are yesterdays update of the Mushroom Forest Background Board. This will be a pain in the lower regions, but a reasonable alternative until the PhotoBucket support people wake up.
 
Her's where it was yesterday evening:

...these will blend in with the background gloom except for the glowing eyes:

DeafNala, that last mushroom is PERFECT! I'm really impressed with the texturing you've achieved, CONGRATULATIONS!  ;)

BTW: last week in our RPG a small group of travelers crossing the Enchanted Forest was attacked by a pack of wild mushrooms. And EATEN. All of them. Poor travelers!  :o

Now Sheriff Nottingham is gathering a posse of mushroom hunters to enforce the old "No travelers will be eaten in this friggin' forest" law!  ;D

And one of the hunters is of course old and bold Colonel Mustard with his faithful dog "Bongo" and his even more faithful hunting rifle "Old Smokey" (but this is another story...)

SO after some down time I have done a little work on the Mushroom background board:
The faces were gently removed for later use elsewhere. A Mushroom & some additional floating eyes were added:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN4549.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN4549.jpg.html)

...the free standing background Mushrooms are now primed/base coated:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN4542.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos/DSCN4542.jpg.html)

AND the Fey Faerie Wizard has finally been given a base & base coated:

...that is a BEAUTY. All my years on Long Island, I lived close to one beach or another. As a boy it was the Barrier Beaches of the South Shore: white sand & the Atlantic on one side & the Great South Bay on the other. As a man, I lived a couple blocks away from the North Shore beach in Sound Beach...a rocky beach on the Long Island Sound. I miss the smell of salt in the morning air.

That's why I came back to live in a beachfront place (in Jurere beach) after several years of globetrotting!  ;)

The Campeche beach got its name from aviator and author Saint Exupery in the 30s, the name meaning "fishermen's camp" in French.

That does sound like a wonderfully romantic setting.  I looked up the beach & Antoine de Saint-Exupery. He was quite the thirties dashing hero...wrote The Little Prince as well.

That is a good description of the feel of the place sans a David Bowie vocal.
I've done some groundwork & finished two of the Mushroom: the smiling one in the background & the one in the front row, far left.
It is coming along slowly, but I am have fun with the Beasty.

The Little Goblin is a Dark Hold Goblin mini from Rebel Miniatures. He comes with their Goblin Priest or in a pack of ten. I liked the little Guy when I got him with the Priest so much that, when they offered him in a pack of ten, I picked up two packs. I am planning on having him pop up in all sorts of strange places.

It seems whenever nothing about a mini suggests a color scheme. I go with the primary colors.

...the best laid plans of mice & men...last few days have seen only limited progress. I got the skin tones/faces done, some light work on the Bots:

I decided to take more W.I.P. photos in the interest of spotting the odd Homeric nod before I do the spray finish.
In this case the Henchman's right eye will get a touch up:

I imagined (before I saw the correction), this was his name after I did a web search:

Nicely painted.

Some regular-tough-large mushroom were also made; you can see them to the left in the top photos.

So by the end of the evening I had the Crazy Lady based up. I may have gotten ever-so-slightly carried away with the base:

Thank you for your kind reply, dino. While I painting them was a joy, it is nice having the Gals & Guys finished.
I think my fondness for bright/flashy colors is part of Old Age..one of the fun parts.

Old age and fun like bright red Chaos warriors!  lol

I remember that in the late 80s I used to paint my Warhammer Chaos Knights as "historical" medieval knights with black armour, and one former GW games designer praised my painting skills, but commented on the lack of bright colour: "Where's the fun in that?"  :D

The Knights like the rest of the "Nobles" had a boring sense of colors...if any. The Foot Soldiers had an eye for color & style.

Thanks for the kind reply, Fram. I am happy you enjoyed the latest additions to the project.
The Bruegelburg Folk were a joy to paint...I love Renaissance style stuff.

While I am at it, I made some progress on the Scary Lady. The Big Flighty Girl is seen here in base coat:

Nala, as a photobucket user, I must warn you there's a distinct possibility that every one of your pictures in this thread may well disappear. Photobucket is now restricting third-party hosting and it seems that once enough eyeballs see your photos photobucket will now hold your account to ransom to regain the privilege of showing other people your photos.

See here for more details: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=101912.0

At the very least, if you don't store your photos elsewhere, you may wish to download the contents of your photobucket account.

Thanks for the warning, Fram. The photos should be safe for a year at least; re, I sprang for the extra $300 to upgrade.  Since I plopped down the bucks, I have had nothing but trouble with my account. It seems the more you pay the worse it gets. I'll use the year to check out alternatives.

I made some small progress with the Spooky Woods Stage. The clay work is done on the background tress. The upper branches will get the teased out hot glue treatment & some foliage...probably:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN4805.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN4805.jpg.html)

...from the Mushroom Forest, I got the idea that the foreground pieces should go to either side to limit the view & frame the miniatures:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN4807.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN4807.jpg.html)

...I rarely learn from other Folk's mistakes, but I'm a champ at learning from my own blunders.

AND the foliage has been added to the background trees...the foreground ones will remain dead & leafless for contrast:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN4809.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN4809.jpg.html)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN4810.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN4810.jpg.html)

The clay is almost dry enough to paint; ergo, more later today or tomorrow.

Thanks for yet another reply, dino. I am glad you like it. It isn't that hard to do, just a tad on the tedious side.

Thanks for the reply, von Lucky. When the Woods flipped to a new page, I was afraid no one would notice Maude. I am delighted you like the Girl.
I'll keep the song playing as long as I am here. If that saw about lasting until the last mini is done is true, I have about forty or so years left.

A yellow road would match your existing roads, I think?

Also I can hear Maude's cackling as she flies.

Thanks for the reply, Fram. Most of my paved roads are a mix of slate blue & terra cotta. I was thinking "follow the Yellow Brick Road".

Great progress, sir!

Thanks, Paul. I may be building up a head of steam.
I wish it was my idea, but L. Frank Baum beat me to it. I was just looking at the sunken bricks as I painted the earth colors & there was a chorus of Munchkins piping away on that song: follow, follow, follow the the Yellow Brick Road.

Looking great. The painted background trees work well.

Thanks, Fram. I am delighted you like it. I thought it was pretty decent, but a vote of confidence is most welcome.

...later the same day. I finished the highlights, did the road, & went nuts with the photos:

Thanks, Fram! I am glad you like it. It was fun to do...messy, but fun nonetheless.

Always always amazing, and always a thread to go to for a pick me up after not getting to do anything other than work!

Fantastic.

Thanks for the kind reply, Tactalvanic. I an delighted you like the stage & the thread.
I do hope you find more time to be creative...without giving up eating & living indoors that is.

It's come up a treat - and Bwana looks like trouble.

Thanks, von Lucky. I am glad you like it & the positive feedback is appreciated.
I used Bwana & Company when I posted the Spooky Woods Board by Heep's Place as well as here. He is constantly in deep doodoo.

Thanks very much, Andym! I am happy you enjoyed the piece.
I started thinking about the next photo stages. There will probably be two Urban Street Scenes that will connect the Blight with the Twisted Tower & maybe the Smugglers' Cove:

Since this photo was take I painted the foam black.
While I'm mulling it over, I hope to do some miniatures...or not.

I gotta agree with the esteemed gentleman.
It is a wonderful place.

Thanks for the continued support, Paul. It is appreciated, AND I am delighted you still enjoy the stuff.

Looking at the Massed Mob of Mushrooms, I decided the time & numbers were right to paint them all up.
The first step was getting them all prepped up in white over black:

The creepier Super Dungeon stuff & some of the more bizarre Chibi has a certain appeal. The Mushrooms & Boars are cool...the paint jobs are INCREDIBLE!

Some gravestones, a spooky tree, & a fair amount of green stuff figure into this Merry Mushroom Necromancer's future:

Post by: DeafNala on July 27, 2017, 05:25:07 PM
...continuing with the getting carried away with things theme, I have an idea of the setting for the Fungal Necromancer. There is a Spooky Tree, the shocked Mushroom onlookers,, the components for transforming a more-or-less-satisfied-with-their condition dead person into Pumpkinhead Deadite, AND a couple of suitably haunted gravestones involved. SO here are the Haunted Gravestones in the works:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN4906.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/Mushrooms/DSCN4906.jpg.html)

The gravestones proper are from Renedra. The Jack O'Lantern was made some time ago; he seems less than thrilled about his future.

Thanks for the reply, von Lucky. The morale boost is appreciated. I haven't made any conscious color changes, but a lot of what I do lately is unconscious...I am happy you like the colors anyway.
I'll try to take a few photos of the finished piece in St. Lascivious' Cemetery; re, there a lots of haunted gravestones there.

I was disappointed to find there was no space large enough on The Cemetery to place The Ritual for photos. I'm going to update the Cemetery anyway; SO it will get some photos eventually.

Thanks for the reply, von Lucky. I am glad you like it. The eyes are slightly brighter in person, but just as crossed. It's the Ben Turpin touch.

Thanks, dino. I am happy you like the expressions. Mushrooms normally have a hard time developing an expressive personality.

I wonder... do you have any idea of just how many mushrooms you've sculpted? Or just mushroom men?

Now that you mention it, I haven't a clue. It is one of those things I would have kept track of if only I had known I would be making so many...however many "many" is.

Thanks, Fram. A lot of my faces have expressions that are easily read. This Fellow has an enigmatic sort of smile...feathers from a missing canary might work.

Megan Fox? I was thinking among the lines of Helena Boham Carter or maybe Maisie Williams.. but I guess Megan Fox could do as well!

I hadn't thought about the female lead. I'm a Kate Beckinsale fan. Of course, it might well be an animated feature.

I am plodding along with the Graveyard Mushroom. Motivation is fine. I am just moving more slowly this morning.
SO this gives me a moment to post some intermediate photos rather than my normal start & finish pics:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN4996.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/Mushrooms/DSCN4996.jpg.html)

All that need to be done now is painting theSpooks, planting some grass, DullCote, a dry brush of the grass, & the final pics...a nap might figure in there somewhere.

Since he is one of the subterranean types in progress, I dug out my Cavern stage for a couple photos in his natural habitat:

The espresso thing was a Young Frankenstein moment...I think I'd pass on the espresso as well.

I have some more Mushroom underway. In this case a few more subterranean ones:

Thanks again. pocoloco. The Lads in grey will, hopefully, be done in a day or two. Then on to whatever.
To be truthful, I haven't the slightest idea how many Mushrooms of various types I have done. The number could be staggering or not, but there are a LOT of them all over the place.

Oh, the left hand mushroom in that latest set is just hilarious. Your range of mushroom expressions, which was good already, seems to be getting even wider.

The caps are actually as accurate as I could get to morel caps:

What will occupy it is anyone's guess. Time will tell...time has a big mouth. Making bases is a satisfying occupation in it's own right...at least, that's my take on the subject.

DeafNala, that big base thing is a lovely idea to be shamelessly stolen for sure!  :D

I really love the way you integrate old GW bitz to your creations - makes me wonder about a Mordheim-like game universe set in a long forgotten magical garden or something...  ;D

And my group's next Victorian Dinosaur Hunting game will be a very perilous Victorian Mushroom Hunting Expedition for sure, thanks to your wicked creativity!  lol

Thanks, dino. Feel free to take any ideas that you like for your own projects...how to questions will be answered if you need advice.
That does remind me. There are some regulars like yourself, Fram, von Lucky, & others whose threads I would love to follow, bit I can't find. If you would, give me a link to your projects.

G.W. plastics offer some wonderful conversion parts. I have quite a lot in The Vault.

DeafNala, everything here is at a hold on this subject; I'm still with my right hand enclosed in a plastic casket and will have to undergo another surgery in the upcoming months... So lots of stolen ideas and future projects, but no recent hands on job!  :D
 
The good thing is that all that hand thing will make me retire definitively from work, so I will have more time to play and travel!  lol (and you know Texas is in the touring plans!)

My last hobby project discussed here at LAF was the Vertical Gothic Castle, but since now our game group have two new members with reduced mobility (they are in wheelchairs), the "vertical monstrous scenery" idea has been officially abandoned for obvious reasons!  ;D 

In the meanwhile, I enjoy immensely threads like yours, so keep doing that GREAT job!  ;)

Seriously, there is nothing quite as motivating as a kind word from a Fellow Forum Guy or Gal.

I am sorry to hear further surgery is necessary. I started on disability back in '02; an early retirement has certain attractive features.
I'll look forward to your recovery, projects, & visit...there will be a candle in the window for you.

AND, I was for some reason, which now escapes me, looking for Stumpman. I was pretty sure he was waiting for a base. When I found him I also found I had given him a new base. SO I figured if I forgot all the rest of it...this is a definite sign of imminent senility...I probably forgot to take/post photos of the Old Stump. This will now be corrected...before I forget again:

Leo does seem to spend his life running from one monster or another.

Thanks for the positive response, Darathar...the morale boost is appreciated. I am happy you enjoy the stuff...mission accomplished so to speak.
I think Leo needs a change of jobs. Making his living running in terror from Horrid Creatures is almost as bad as working for The Donald.

Meanwhile her male associate got a bit of a conversion; i.e., the Zombie head he was toting was replaced wit a Flagellant's head:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5210.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5210.jpg.html)

Then he was base coated:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5219.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5219.jpg.html)

The Zombie head was just too cool to waste; ERGO, I did a repair job on the back of his head...he will be popping up sometime in the future when least expected:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5221.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5221.jpg.html)

The Bad Morels got based & base coated:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN5214.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/Mushrooms/DSCN5214.jpg.html)

AND a new Mushroom, the Sentient Cup Mushroom, is in development:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN5220.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/Mushrooms/DSCN5220.jpg.html)

Last & certainly least, another Face to use up the left over green stuff:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5216.jpg) (http://s762.photobucket.com/user/DeafNala/media/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5216.jpg.html)

Thanks, dino! The Girl has a pin head & the tiniest of faces, but somehow she does suit my place nicely...I am not sure if that is a good thing or not.
I am, once more, happy you like the colors.

IMHO, every time a girl suits our place it's a good thing!  :D

I am, once more, happy you like the colors.

The colors AND your painting style!  :-*

But I also like very much your minis in the "grayscale" stage as well! I am planning something like that to suit my new "left handed" painting style in the near future!  ;)

Thanks again, gino. The white over black does suit a wash & dry brush technique, which you might find easier to do left handed.
Where there is a will there is a way. Michael Perry adapted to sculpting left handed. I'd bet you could too; re, you have the passion for the craft.

SO YET ANOTHER idea is whirling around in the Work In Progress Plane of Existence. One of the Fellow from the Reaper Forum has a character in his story based project that is an undead Captain with an equally undead horse.
This appealed to me & the image of a Living Impaired Quixote with his decomposing Rocinante formed in my imagination. I did have a Mordheim Free Lancer that born a striking resemblance to the Don. After some thought...& the accompanying burning smell... I remembered I had an Old Skeletal Citadel Steed in The Vault. Here's wher the Revenant & a still-kicking Free Lanver stand/ride as of now:

I am glad you like the idea. We will see how well it turns out.

Don Quixote is the ideal hero to my mind. Only Cyrano comes close to equaling him.

Love Don Quixote, both in text and your miniature form!  :-* I have had the same Mordheim range mini for years, have not dared to paint him yet.

As a sidenote, and most likely you saw this already when this was news about year or so ago, but nevertheless interesting tidbit... there was (perhaps) a real life inspiration for the character of Don Quixote:

Thanks you for the reply & the link, pocoloco. I am delighted you like the miniature thus far.
This will be the third or fourth time I've done the Free Lancer. The others were for friends. It isn't the easiest of pieces to do, but it has a tremendous amount of charm & character...just like Quixote. I hope the practice make it more perfect.

DeafNala, the "windmill" doesn't have to be a complex piece of scenery; you can think of Quixote's nemesis as a badass knight with some simple "windmill" identification, like an elaborate helmet and heraldry!  ;)

SO I thought a few photos of the things on the worktable might be motivating for me &amp; entertaining for you.
Taking the long view of the stuff:

Seen here with a plant, the Hobbity conversion &amp; Reaper's Ringmaster Sophie. Sophie is destined to be part of a West Wind Circus Troupe that look like they will go well with the Grymkin minis I have been unable to resist. She's on the table for a wing repair job:

AND all the things that have been recently based or are about to be based:

After I took these pics I went looking for something in The Vault. The amount of things I have underway or still in their blister packs/boxes/loose is staggering. With SO MUCH to do, I think a nap is in order.

...I picture my power plant as something like a smelly, smokey '30's gas generator; something that looks like it came from Africa Queen.
Be that as it may I got side tracked from my side track & started basing up some already painted Mushrooms...then I conked out for an hour or so.
Pics of the developments tomorrow some time.

Great mushies, all of them... but the one with the greeting gesture and hidden blade is PRICELESS!  lol
 

"Knife? What Knife?!" Thanks, dino. I am glad you like them. I haven't picked out a favorite yet, but the "Look of Innocence" One is in the running.

The ill-mannered one with his tongue out is my favourite of that bunch.  lol

Thanks, Fram. I think of him as The Lecher...the tongue is part of the personality.

Cracking work as ever, Amigo.
So full of character.
 :-* :-*

Mine too.
He/she/it is great.
 :D



Thanks, Paul. I am delighted you like them...The Lecher appreciates your good taste in Mushrooms.
I think the Mushrooms, Trees, Spooks, et al have taken over. It has become a novelty to paint up a commercial miniature.
I am going to have to put further miniature purchases on hold if this keeps up...probably.

Now I'm trying to imagine what turns on an asexual mycota which reproduces via sporulation. I'm probably overthinking this FAR too much.  ;D

If you think of the Mushroom's sexuality as a matter of attitude & appearance, it avoids the pounding headaches.
It could a dietary thing as well, but that raise migraines all its own.

The scary part is that this is only the W.I.P. pieces on the work table. I have much more in the Vault & on the next other table. I have my work lined up for more years that I will probably be given, but I intend to make as large a hole in it as I can.

In the meanwhile here is the VERY FIRST of the Bad Morels wrapped up; AND HERE HE IS:

Well! You changed gear, I see!
I would like to stand a little to your magic Spooky Forest... Every pic from a new angle, reveals one more aspect of your endless imagination!
You have included tons of optical information, a camera lens cannot catch all!
Going through this forest must be a very adventurous undertaking!
If it hasn't come to your attention, I include a link for the stone mushrooms of Thrace

http://www.ancient-origins.net/history-ancient-traditions/mushroom-monuments-thrace-and-ancient-sacred-rites-005267

...numerous megalithic natural rock formations that resemble mushrooms. In some cases, these structures have been modified by human intervention to increase their fungal likeness. In addition to these external features of the landscape, certain caves that served as sanctuaries present a fungal likeness in the configuration of their entrances...

Might serve you for a further inspiration!
Cheers!

I think that once the demands being a responsible grownup were more or less fulfilled that boy who was lurking micro-millimeters below the surface took over.
I may well be a natural for this form of lunacy. It all just seem to happen without much thought. I just follow my imagination & voila. I wonder what Tim Burton would do with this.

SO somewhere in the middle of the night a thought intruded its way into my dreams that The Mushroom Forest NEEDED to be made more useful. This entailed removing the big central Mushroom & basing it separately. To avoid a recurrence of the dream suggestion, I did just that. Here is the result:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Photo%20Stages/DSCN5363.jpg?t=1507634987)

With the Mushroom now stage right & left:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Photo%20Stages/DSCN5365.jpg?t=1507634988)

Some more ambulatory Mushrooms volunteered to pose in the new setting:

AND The first of the CREEPY trees now has a friend. Both are progressing nicely progressing:

This would be great! Any addition you make to the mushroom forest will be never enough! Because every item you create is original and you avoid repetition! When I stare for a long time to any one of these pictures, I feel that the eyes are blinking and change direction. And more: I feel that the faces of your mushrooms are emitting an internal light, with your brush you gave them life, this is the magic that you make! Cheers!!!

Plodding along through the Spooky Woods project, I finished twisting the wires on the first two Trees, did some hot glue coating/texturing, & sculpted the air clay bark on Tree #1..you will observe there is now a Tree #3 in the works:

AND, awhile after the first photos, the clay had dried hard enough to handle. SO I did the face on Tree #1:

Thanks very much for the kind reply, Din. I am happy you are enjoying the various stuff, The corner Mushroom or something similar is a must-do-item.
I think it is the beads that I use for eye that create the illusion that they are following the viewer. It is a creepy effect & one of the reasons folk say my stuff gives them nightmares.
I have some ideas for another photo stage other than the planned urban setting...an abandoned Haunted Tower. The Spooky Trees should work well with the setting.

The first of the three Trees is all base coated & ready for some paint & stuff. He is seen here with his two cronies to show the stages of development:

Not much was done, but I did do some work on the Trees' bases:

The excess green stuff yielded a couple new Faces:

That is something I have noticed also. What the expression really is is up to the viewer. Different Folk will find different things in each expression. This adds to the story telling possibilities.

A kangafox might be an interesting conversion. I have been thinking of a snake-hare for awhile.

If you eat the mushrooms first, whatever the bird is will taste delicious...even though it seems to be glowing.

Thanks for the reply, Tactalvanis. I can relate; i.e., I don't comment as often as I would like or ought to either. I am delighted you like the stuff & took the time to say so.
My stuff does tend to be Halloween oriented; SO once a year the timing is right.
I think my imagination has grown as I aged. The creativity part is a matter of having more time now than I used to in my working days. Keep doing your thing & you'll develop a world of your own. Do be careful though; re, my imagination often gets me in  trouble.

Thanks, Din. The faces seem to get their expression all on their own as I work on them; they are one of my favorite things to do.
I do try to pose the hands & arms in such a way as to add to the expressions. The arms & lovely hands are G.W. Zombie & Ghoul plastic pieces.
G.W. plastic miniatures are a treasure trove of conversion parts.

The Bad Morels all together:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN5443.jpg?t=1508863826)

As I promised or threatened, depending on your point of view, once the last of the Bad Morels was finished, I gathered  all the latest Mushrooms together, took some group photos, packed them all away &, only then, did I realize I hadn't included the Morels Gang with the others. This means that I will eventually have to take YET ANOTHER set of group photos, but not today...sighSO here are almost all the Mushrooms together:

There are quite a few of them. Somewhere in the back pages I have a couple of boxes of the Fungus Folk lined up for picture. They did look good en masse.
Thanks for the reply, Fram!

Thanks for the reply, MagpieJono. I am happy you like the stuff.
I'm not sure about their future. I have a tendency to give the stuff away once they have been photographed. They are slowly taking over the World...insert evil laughter here.

Thanks for the kind reply, Din. I am delighted you enjoy the stuff. The morale boost is appreciated.
One of the benefits of doing each piece individually is they do tend to all look at least a little different...plus I really like making them.

The Bad Morels were complaining about being left out of the Group Portraits. SO to make them feel better, I dropped them into the Spooky Woods for some pics:

Thanks, Paul I am glad you like it.
I have the basics for three new & somewhat larger photo stages done & waiting their sets.
The Spooky Trees should figure into one or more of them.

Thanks for an insightful reply, Din. I am not a serious person by nature. However, my stuff is aimed at story telling. If you at it, you will hear yourself telling a story...probably a fairy tale with cartoon overtures, something Tim Burton or Jim Henson like. I am delighted you are enjoying the story.

The Teddy Bears' Picnic is THE SONG that most often plays through my head when I work on my stuff.
This is a day of perceptive replies. Thanks, Fram!

So, if you like to tell a beautiful story, how about the fairy ring and the myths around it!

There is no better than you to create a ring of mushrooms growing in various stages and one of your heroes trapped inside!

Thanks for all the links, Din. Your research is much appreciated. A Faerie Ring is something I hadn't considered, but it fits so wonderfully with what I am doing.
The potential for tales heroic, romantic, or, in my case, comedic are endless.

HOORAY! You Guys have made my day...& a rhyme. I have been having my difficulties with PhotoBucket. I intend to keep the account mere to maintain the photos I already have posted, but having an alternative for new work is a real plus. The Google Albums are really nice to work with AND the cost is a mere $2.09 a month. PhotoBucket is 33.25 a month.
Right now I keep getting errors when I try to upload new photos to PB. Google uploads automatically. I just create the albums & I can post.

Yes, I can see them! One more original work of yours! Eager to see it finished!
Cheers!

Thanks for the positive feedback, Din. The miniature Druid & Frog is Reaper's 03226 Parraway Ambercane, but everything else is mine...I am happy you like the way it is going.

Lovely work, Al.

Thanks, Paul. I really am delighted you like the expression. To me, the facial expression is what gives the miniature life. The bright colors are genetically linked with me.

Looking good, looking good. The red and white spotted mushrooms will make a fine backdrop!

Thanks, Fram. I thought the toadstool coloration would look good with the frog. It must be an amphibian thing. I am happy you are enjoying the developments.

One of the Fellow on the Reaper Forum found these Santa Flower Pot thingies:

 He asked if I would do some Mushrooms like them for his Mom's flowers. SO here's how they are coming along...the start:

Thanks for the positive feedback, Din. I'm not sure whether the bead eyes were an original idea or not...I think they may have been. They sure have worked well for me.
I am glad you like them. This is turning out to be a fun little diversion. I hope they don't eat Mom's flowers or give her nightmares.

Whatever the black spots on the Mushroom in the last picture were, they washed right off with a little water. Photos are great for pointing out little things like that.

Thanks for the reply, Din! I am glad you like the Guys. They will be winging their way to Germany later today.
The faces are very impromptu. The way the eyes/brads are place suggest an expression, but I just go with the flow.
They all do look different though.

Today Tree #2 got some attention in the form of a layer of textured/teased hot glue & a coating/sculpting layer of air dry clay (Premier):
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5566.jpg)

The clay is drying nicely. Once it's hard, I'll hit it with a spray of Workable Fixative (Krylon); then it's paint time.

Yay! They are coming out great!
The left one looks weary/confused/distracted while the other looks as if it just woke up/astonished/saw something very interesting...
Or it is just my impression  ;)
The mushrooms on the base is adding life and motion - who says that flora doesn't move?  lol -especially spoooooky flora!!!

Thanks, Din. I am happy you like the progress. They are as you imagine them to be. I have a few friend, Lazetta, who make stories for her Grandchildren from my terrain & miniatures.
The stories told are what you see in my stuff. It is your own unique perspective that is the right way to see things...at least, that is my spin on it.
The mushrooms should add a nice touch of color. I may add some shelf mushrooms as well. Probably around back where the Tree can't reach.

This is a probable. The subject of a carnivorous apple tree came up on another forum with each of the apples having a leering little face.
I think that I have reached a stage where folk see faces in everything I do without my actually doing them...makes things easier that way.

So far today I have added some wire branches & done some green stuffing to Tree #3.
The Face is pretty much done...green stuff-wise that is:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5577.jpg)

Post by: DeafNala on November 17, 2017, 11:02:05 PM
...later the same day, while I was hot glue coating the branches, I did up a Little Monk to live under some of the roots:
http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5581.jpg(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5581.jpg)

Taking a step backward to put the Monk in size perspective to the Tree:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5580.jpg)

He is a towering 10mm tall.

The branches are now hot glued & the trunk has a sculpted coating of DAS air dry clay. In 36 hours it will be ready for some paint. SO here's what Tree #3 looks like now:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5582.jpg?t=1510933251)

AND the Little Monk got a touch up:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5588.jpg?t=1510933252)

Hey, this third tree is so confused  lol it will be the craziest tree of all three!
What to say about the Little Monk? Your aptness to create a new original face every time, is unquestionably fantastic!

What if I suggest another tree character to join your Spooky Trees...
The Twinmood Tree: A single trunk splitting in two V shaped branches, two faces staring at each other: One Laughing. One crying.

In any case, eagerly waiting what new is going to come from your workbench!

Thanks for the kind reply, Din. I actually have a split trunk Tree although they lack the Comedy/Tragedy Faces. It was made from two pecan branches. I use it as a movable piece on the Spooky Woods Photo Stage. It's another Great Minds thingy.

The Monk is from Rebel Miniatures Dark Hold Goblin range.

Next week I hope to do another of the Blight buildings, & start some of the minis I have in backlog. There are some Trolls that may get based up.

While I was waiting for various things to dry, I based up a Moor Troll (Dudley):

AND converted & based my Halloween present to myself, a former Giant Skeletal Mouse, now a Zombie Giant Mouse. The coversion was deemed necessary due to the skeleton having ears & a nose:

Loving the new trees, Al.
Full of the usual Nala charm and character.

It is impressive how live it came out now that it is finished!
The base additions are super!
Waiting to see the whole tree fellowship!
Cheers, Dinos

That giant Undead mouse takes the crown, though.
What a wonderful, scary idea.
(Now you need a small and terrified cat.....)

Thanks, Paul I am happy you like The Trees & The Zombie Mouse of unusual size. I was surprised what a good reaction The Mouse got.
I will have to do a pretty decent paint job to live up to the hype...I like the cat idea.

Thanks for the kind reply, Dinos. I am delighted you like The Trees. I have high hopes for the photos they will feature in.

I’ve been hanging off this question but the time has come:

How much space is this taking up now?

I'm not sure. The Witches' boards (three 2' X 2') & Heep's Place (1' X 2 ') are being stored on a 2' X 8' table with the Spooky Woods board on a separate table in the spare room.  I have the Twisted Tower, The Blight, & the photo stages on the work table(s). The miniatures are in wall hung display cases, storage boxes, & a couple of shelves in the other room's display case. Is that what you wanted to know?

That is a good start to a nightmare inducing fairy tale...just the type of thing for my stuff.
Evil Teddy Bears have such a horrible time digesting Little Girls.

When little Amanda disappeared from her bedroom, her mother - called Mrs. Darling, of course - asked her friend the local librarian for help, and she in her turn called his friend, Mr. Lupescu, the Consulting Detective. He went to the Darlings house, sniffed around a bit, and asked the distressed couple to leave for the weekend. Once alone, he helped himself with some beer from the refrigerator, ordered some pizza, and spent most of the night on the sofa in front of the TV, watching his favourite series on Netflix.  

In the darkest hour of the night Lupescu tuned the TV off and climbed the stairs to the little girl's bedroom. There he took his clothes off and waited in the dark. But not for long.

"I knew you were about to come back", he said when Teddy came from the shadows.

"How did you find out I've eaten young and delicious little Amanda?", asked the bear, curious as all the bears are, specially the toy ones.  

"I've scented her blood in the air when Mrs. Darling showed me around the house, then I've seen the little trickle of blood in the corner of the seemingly harmless teddy bear's mouth on the bed with the other toys", said Lupescu already turning into a big and bad werewolf.

And he eviscerated the bear with a swift move, then jumped inside it and found little Amanda chained to a dark and spooky tree in the dark forest full of spooky trees inside the darkness within the toy bear...

After the ending of this story, the years went by and Amanda grew up into a beautiful young woman that hated bears and loved wolves, exactly as beautiful young women are meant to do.

Post by: DeafNala on November 27, 2017, 03:25:17 PM
A fine example of being easily distracted: I had this base sitting around for a while with only a vague idea what I was going to do with it. Well...I got an idea from a YouTube video. & started working on it. It's a Spooky scene base. I still haven't a clue what will go on top, but I do love making bases:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5633.jpg?t=1511709292)

Since the photos were taken I added eyes to the tree & sand to the base. Once the glue for the sand dries I will start doing up the tree...so to speak.

...this is a given. There always seems to be some mushrooms involved.

Meanwhile some progress has been made on the base. I added the sand, sculpted the face, & did the bark...the orange stuff is DAS air dry clay:

Now I have to be patient until the clay dries. It should be ready for paint tomorrow evening or Wednesday morning.

Wow! What the tree is looking at, must be a great (nasty???) surprise!
Staring with awe and somehow trying to avoid it!
The whole face seems to be moving away!!!
You achieved one more original face expression! Hats off!
Waiting with patience  ;)

Thanks for the reply, dinos. I am happy you like it thus far. I still have no idea what mini(s) will wind up on the base, but that adds to the excitement....sort of.

The second base is progressing nicely. I have sand covering the ground; the wire branches are done; AND the air dry clay bark is sculpted:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5652.jpg?t=1511981207)

The branches should get the hot glue treatment later today. Then all but the DAS parts will get base coated...probably. SO until then...whenever then is.

SO I now have the trees on Base #2 all spray coated & with a hot glue treatment to the branches done:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5658.jpg?t=1512052847)

I had a few inquiries as to what materials I used. It's hard/impossible to make out in the photo, but the floral wire (green in this case) is 22 guage/caliber). Here is the stuff:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5665.jpg?t=1512052847)

I also started on a Troll who wanted his photo taken:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5662.jpg?t=1512052847)

Thanks, Doc. I am glad you like the stuff AND the Troll thus far. He's Reaper's 03269 Moor Troll...I think of him as Dudley the Moor Troll.
I have a real fondness for Trolls myself. One of the bases may be graced by a female Troll from Stonehaven.

Thank you for the kind reply, Dinos! If you have any questions on how something is done, I would be happy to answer them.

Who is on first is anyone's guess as well as a classic Abbott & Costello routine:

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. The Tree does look like he's interested or curious about the Troll Babe.
According too Brian Froud, Troll have some connection to trees.

The trees and trolls are both marvellous! Excellent work.

Not much progress, but I did get some paint on the trees. The one on the left has the bark pretty much done:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5669.jpg)

I figured I would need a couple of Mushrooms for the bases; the type with faces. Unfortunately all the ones I made recently are on their own bases.
SO some new ones in the works:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5671.jpg)

I agree. It's the making/painting/dream work that provide the real enjoyment. Once completed the pieces tend to go into storage.
I'm not sure on the green stuff. I would imagine somewhere between a half & three quarters of a tube gets used up each month.
Thanks for the continued support, von Lucky...it is appreciated.

Thanks for the kind response, Dinos. I don't think I could tone down the colors & still be happy with my work. SO I am happy you & others enjoy it.
The moss is Woodland Scenics Fine Turf (T1345 Grass Green). I hot glue it in place, adding a couple of layers of overlapping circular shapes. Then I paint it:
Americana Black Forest Green base & Citron Green dry brushes over the Black Forest before it dries & after.

Even the friendly smiles are suspect. Folks who spent their lives in bovine excrement tend to have evil natures. From my working life, I can attest to the truth in that.
Thanks for the reply, Fram. Getting the expressions to be expressive is a highlight to the craft for me.

I started the third photo stage, The Twisted Tower, yesterday:

This one should work better for group photos & larger pieces...hopefully.

Isn't that cool? I got that from Paul of Matakishi's tea house; it is one of his 3D prints that I got in exchange for some of my Mushrooms.
It's on a dowel so it can be swapped out for the other, less personable side of the moon.

Not knowing how something will look when complete is an exciting part for me also. I have been looking at it. It changes each time I do.
AND this is the stage; imagine what the actors will look like. Thanks for the response, Dinos.

Yesterday the tower got some clay work. It now has a Howard Johnson look to it that the shingles will only correct after they are painted:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Photo%20Stages/Photo%20Stages002/DSCN5702.jpg)

Today the Female Troll Mage got some attention:

The tiled roof is now close to completion. I will do some texturing when the clay dries a little:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Photo%20Stages/Photo%20Stages002/DSCN5712.jpg)

Lest I forget (which I did) I knocked out the thin sheets of clay that the shingles are made of with this Makin's Ultimate Clay Machine:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Photo%20Stages/Photo%20Stages002/DSCN5714.jpg)

Since "well enough" should never be left alone, I added a couple more pieces to the mix:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Photo%20Stages/Photo%20Stages002/DSCN5715.jpg?t=1513443471)

The tiles will be added once the clay has dried a bit. I'll see what trouble I can get into while I am waiting.

AND while the clay dried, I started a tree for the Tower:

You've probably seen that Thunderbolt minis is closing since there's another thread about it in this very subforum (they are accepting orders up until Dec 25th), but I wanted to point out this particular range of theirs, just in case you hadn't actually looked at the site: https://www.thunderboltmountain.com/collections/all/savage-and-sparkle

The woolies and the angry fairy girls "infantry" seems quite suited to your oeuvre.  :D

Thanks for the heads up, Fram. I've seen the Going Out Of Business threads, AND the Woolies are COOL, but I think I'll pass.

I have more or less decided to make P.P's King of Nothing the mini for Tree Base #2:

LAND last night I tiled the third of four roofs:

More later...or not!

The usual wonderfully entertaining offerings are on show, as one has come to expect from this project.
 :-* :-*

I love what you did to the tree with the attached leaves.
I did consider something similar but thought they may be too fragile.
As you do not use yours for gaming, and the attendant clumsy sods that entails, you should be just fine.

Like hitting yourself over the head with a hammer. It's not so hot while you are doing it, but it's wonderful when you stop.

The King has possibilities. I picked up a few of the Grymkin minis when they first hit the market.
He will be the first of them to see a brush. SO I'm looking forward to seeing him done as well.

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. Your description sounds like Tennyson's Ulysses:

It little profits that an idle king,
By this still heart, among these barren crags,
Matched with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws to a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and know me not.


I think he will add another touch of whimsy to the project.

Thanks for the kind response, Paul. I am happy you like the new stuff, especially the foliage.
The Silflor foliage works well, however, any handling tends to cause the leaves to shed.
A spray finish helps a bit, but I don't see them holding up in a gaming situation.

Here is where The King of Nothing stood as I started the day:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5768.jpg?t=1514496303)

By noon the King was ready to assume his throne...base:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5770.jpg?t=1514496304)

AND now His Majesty, The King of Nothing with His Royal Court (the Mushrooms like the idea of being a Royal Court...whatever that is):
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2015%20Random%20Photos/2017%20Random%20Photos%20Part%20II/DSCN5775.jpg?t=1514496304)

There is a wonderful feeling of release in finishing a piece.

Well! I think it's one of your best creations!
The branch he's standing how well blends with the rest of the tree!
And some kind of mystical harmony enfolds the whole picture, sending vibes to the viewer!
Look at the King of Nothing!
He seems alone, but he is not!
He looks hopeless, but hope is all around!

My warmest congratulations!
What a great way to finish the Year!

For a change instead of staring into space, I started painting more background mushrooms, did a little work on the Tower Stage, & checked out a couple of minis in the vault.
The release is still there without the usual stupor.
Thanks for reply, von Lucky! I am happy you liked the colors.

He did seem to be a perfect fit for the base. I am delighted you agree, Dinos. He does have a story to tell.
I thought is was a good way to wrap up the year also. One never know whether something else will spring to completion, but this does seem like the last for this year.

Thanks, Paul. Looking at it I was surprised to see the bark effect on the Kings perch looks very similar to my hot glue branches.
I am happy you like the King & his Mushrooms.
I am debating whether the Trollop should go with the other Tree base. I paint her up & see. Meanwhile I keep looking through the Vault.

SO I decided to do my own version of The Mushroom Mage.
The basic dolly:

There is a reason for just about everything; at least, everything that isn't politically motivated. The Tree has crossed eyes. The reason is he has a butterfly on his nose; the butterfly concept was canuckotter's (one of the nicest of Reaper Forumites).
SO I got a butterfly punch, made & painted said butterfly, AND attached it to the Tree's nose.
The finished Tree:

And the he Mushroom Witch & The Tree are beautiful.

...there is something creepy about standing near a Mushroom that seems to have a face & is about your height. Having it strike up a conversation adds to that feeling immeasurably.
Thanks for the kind reply, von Lucky. I am happy you like the latest bit of insanity.

Wow, she looks great... even majestic? That's a new adjective for your mushroom crowd!

It's amazing how inexhaustible these mushrooms seems to be. You'd think they'd eventually become repetitive, but no, there's always a new and interesting one around the corner.

Thanks, Fram! Majestic is a first. I am happy you like the Girl.
I picked up a couple of wonderfully illustrated reference manuals on mushrooms, AND my friend, Lazetta, keeps making inspirational finds. The variety of mushrooms is staggering. If I were to do even a small percentage with varying personalities, I could stay very busy for much more time than I have left. I fully intend to make an impression on the list though.

The Mushroom Witch & The Tree!
Wow! You find a way to astonish us with every new creation of yours!
First congrats for sculpting the Lady, inspired by the Mushroom pic, but giving your own personal style!
Congrats for the bold colors, ok it is not the first time somebody says that, but the whole set pops!
Congrats for choosing a very interesting angle between the tree and the lady, so as the tree seems to be revolving its face and... its waist to look at her!
The base mushrooms, the shelf mushrooms, the leaves of the tree, all add to the whole... A total beauty!!!  :-*
Cheers!

Thank you for a very kind response, Dinos. It is appreciated. I am delighted you like the Mushroom Witch & The Tree.
It is one of my more complex pieces. It is a wonderfully feeling having it so nicely received.

AND I have my version of Marjory The Trash Heap (Fraggle Rock) underway.
This Jim Henson's Marjory:

I only got to see a few of the episodes; re, back when they were on the air, I was a Night Shift Guy & rarely home to watch T.V.. What parts of the series I did catch were memorable. It was a wonderfully imaginative setting with interesting characters. I have High hopes for Mags/Marjory.

Nice!

I joined a Mordheim league and painted up a bunch of my OOP Ork and Goblin figs as my gang.  The end result people demanded I paint all 150 plus unpainted goblins...  We only played Mordheim once or twice.  Perhaps if I hosted...  Anyway I'm sorta gaming group less, don't have a big and nice enough place to host, and apparently I have to start thinking Lead Painter League style...  Not sure I like the super super golbins but I like the idea of an O&G warband.  New O&G models previewed today on GW's website.

Gotta run and get offline...

Thanks, Muskie. Good luck with The League...life is simpler without games.

"some progress" he says... that's a ton of work! Really shaping up nicely.

...it's all these Brits. After awhile everything gets understated. The progress is self motivating; i.e., the more I do the more things I think of doing. I have even started dreaming of what I will do next & how I will do it..then it's back to lust & The Rockettes.
Thanks for the reply, Fram. AND YET ANOTHER relatively productive day: The Photo Stage got some hanging moss, a bit of sand,  an eye over the door, & the trees got a little taller:

Funny you should mention it; i.e., I was just doing some size comparisons. I've been a Goblin sort of Guy for a long time now.

He matches up pretty nicely with a few different types of Goblins. The G.W. Night & Day types look pretty good other than their
hands. The Darkhold are smaller, except in the nose department, but they would make nice flunkies. I have some others to check
out. He might look good with a mixed band of hooligans of various ethnic types.

Considering I haven't played any games in decades, I find I still think in terms of units...it could be a form of congenital idiocy.

She may be the all time snappiest looking trash heap.

That is an advantage of the larger size; i.e., blending is easier. I can do a highlight while the base color is still wet & have them flow together.
It is a more enjoyable process as well. I'm trying to get psyched for the stage. That, in turn, might prep me for The Blight.
Thanks for the reply, Fram.

I did the eyebrow shelf mushrooms, the nose mushroom, & a couple of others. The additional colors add to the overall Wonderland effect nicely.
It conjures up Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit.

A full-sized gaming table covered in your myconic madness would be a sight to behold (and the cause, no doubt, of a suite of Call of Cthulhu-style sanity checks ...].

The original set of boards make a long slim gaming table with a coup of gaps between the Heep's/Spooky Woods & the Witches' Isles, Village, & Graveyard with The Blight & Rapunzel's Tower off somewhere to the North. I occasionally eye the never used 6' X 6' hexagonal gaming table as a Mushroom Kingdom Board. If I was younger it would be tempting.
All that aside, I am happy you like the stuff, Hobgoblin. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks, Doc...glad you like them. I wasn't sure how they would turn out, but just about anything goes with a trash heap.

Thanks, Dinos. Your continued support is appreciated. Mags loves compliments/affection.

The side & back mushroom were pulled early this morning for the "you-can't-there-from-here" factor.
It paid off; i.e., the two Tall Mushrooms are now done & replanted:

The place referred to is very remote and the route hard to describe
The problem described is insoluble

One more reason I'm grateful to LAF, as it helps me to enrich my vocabulary  lol
Dashing they are and me thinks ready for quarrel! Mags got her watchful bodyguards!

"You can't get there fro here." is an old Maine expression/joke about a reply to directions.
In my instance it was about places on a minis that can't be reached once they are glued in place.

Thanks for your kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the new Mushrooms.

I will admit to a weakness for snappy colors. Unlike a lot of Old Guys, I limit the colorfulness to mu miniatures.
That Mushroom bears a striking resemblance to Old Crazy Linda's youngest brother...it's the grin...maybe the nose as well.
All that aside, I am happy you like The Girl AND the colors, Fram. Thanks for the kind reply.

Thanks, Tobias! I had forgotten to do the eyes before I did the spray finish. SO thee were painted last & gloss coated when done.
I am happy you like them...I'm rather pleased with them myself.

One more try. I have been waiting, almost patiently, for C.M.o.N to restock their Enigma miniature, specifically Oz-zuh Moon Face.
Well.. I decided to try to do my own version of the Lad. This is Enigma's take on him:

This is the "dolly":

He does have trouble written all over him. I have a possible base for him underway. I haven't decided whether he's an urban legend of a rural one.

...these Guys look more like eaters than meals.

I don'y think so... They look like slow food to me!  :D

(GREAT colors on them, BTW!;) )

Thanks for the link, dino. The variety of mushrooms is staggering & their shapes are beyond anything I could imagine.
I have a couple of books & a site or two I visit admiring God's handiwork.

My pleasure, dino! This is a new one & the best one I have found. There was one called Mushroom master, but I lost the kink.
If I could start my life over, I just might have majored in botany... I would probably have been eaten by some carnivorous plant
by now & be plant poop.

I did some modifying of the Spooky Woods photo stage to accommodate larger miniatures & small groups.
The Evil Elf Cup Mushrooms volunteered for the test shots:

The stage has greater possibilities now I think. I did some similar thing to the Mushroom Forest stage.

I should start the painting on the Twisted Tower stage soon & I have hopes for an Urban stage as well.

I really like the Vulture miniature also. It's more of a caricature than a realistic Buzzard...that appeals to me.
I bought three packs when they first came out....that's eighteen of them. Like the Little Monk from the Dark
Hold Goblins, I though I would have them show up in all sorts of places rather like a signature.

Not sure, but you may need a physician to check you over. Your prolific creation of mushrooms is bordering on insanity. Are you sure you haven't inhaled too much of their spores and now they are parasitically controlling your body to create more of them?  ???  ??? ???

Super creations mate, I really admire your dedication and commitment to the hobby, my hat is off to you sir.

Thanks for the reply, Matt. I am glad you like the stuff. Lately I haven't had much motivation; it's probably Spring Fever.
I can attribute my dedication to a life long love of toy soldiers & model scenery...that and the absence of a real social life.
As far as commitment goes; folks have been saying I should be committed for decades now.

Seriously great stuff Al! That colourful brute is gloriously hideous. 8) It's particularly off putting how hes bending down, like he's trying to eat a passing goblin or something.  o_o It's just fantastic.  8)

Thanks, Tobias. I am happy you like the new Mushroom(s). They are a departure from my normal approach to the modeling & the painting.
I am enjoying the change. I can see there will be a greater variety to the Mushrooms & the scenery with a more pronounced Faerie Realms
feel to the place. Of course it will be a whimsical/satirical take on that idea.

Now that it is painted, it looks more evil than I imagined!  lol
Nice color combinations! Cheers!

There is something evil about the Big Guy...or at least, ticked off.

Thanks, Matt. I am happy you like the latest Mushroom. He does look like he is bending down to get into some one's face...or bite it off.
The carnivorous plants may very well get a try. They are featured in some inspiring photos on the Pinterest site. The colors are wonderful
& they have a creepy, alien quality that fits with the feel of my setting.

The new mushrooms, with their fluorescent colours, send a definite message: Do not touch!
And the Creepy Stump! I'm sure we are going to see something unusually queer and... creepy!  ;-)

Thanks for the kind reply, Dinos. I am just using DAS (air dry clay) & the aluminum foil in a slightly different way.
So far it is working okay. I have the roof covered & smoothed out. Once that is dry I will do the bark, then the tiles.
It is fun watching it develop...I'll keep you posted.

Welcome to the thread, Severain, & thanks for the reply...glad you are enjoying the stuff.
I am all too guilty of not commenting myself. I just draw a blank on some threads I would like to leave a comment on.
Stop in soon. I should have some new stuff in a bit...may be two bits.

I didn't think of it myself either. I got the ideas of how versatile DAS is & the things you could do with aluminum foil from Creative Mom on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEpQXoHybyQ

There are all sorts of inspiring thing churning around there. I did the roofs on the second Spooky Woods photo stage using aluminum foil & DAS.

The bark is now sculpted all around:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2018%20Random%20Photos/DSCN6136.jpg)

Once it's dry enough to touch, the roof will get tiled. Then on to the detailing...that's when the fun begins.

Sorry I missed your comments yesterday....
The stump seems almost... tenticular.

They DO look like tentacles. THAT is probably the thing that pushes the piece from whimsical to creepy.
Thanks for the reply, Fram. I didn't pick up on the tentacles before....congenital idiocy once more.

Inspiring! Tin foil cooperates so well with DAS!
I'm stumped!  lol

They work surprisingly well together. Until I saw the Creative Mom videos, I would never have imagined such a thing.
Considering the scope of my imagination that is saying something.
I like puns too...it is the sign of mutually sick minds.

AND the Mushrooms-of-more-normal-size are now done:

Oh me oh my, that's looking good!

Thank you, Fram. I am glad you like him/her/whatever.

I have a feeling I have turned a corner in my world development. Everything seems to be falling into place.
This could, of course, mean I have finally gone totally nuts, but that is only a matter of degrees.

Has an innocent look, but only his creator knows what he is up to!

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. He/she does have a rather sweet expression.
I suppose the reason for the expression would determine whether it is truly sweet or sinister.

AND YET MORE Pinterest inspired Mushrooms are underway.
The dolly stage:

I also started work on the Goblin Guards. One or two may find a home on the Entryway base while the others find homes elsewhere. I have a couple of the Twisted Tower Crew acting as color guides:

The rakish Fellow to the left is Wyrd's WYR20618 Lucky Effigy. He is one of their Gremlin types.
With some modifications, I hope to start including my Wyrd & Privateer Press stuff in the setting along with a bunch of Wrath of Kings thingies.

The cat food boxes are really handy for storing a variety of things. Damnit the Cat is really good at emptying the boxes.

Thanks for the post, After all your kind comments, it is a pleasant change having the opportunity to comment on your works.

For those of you who like to see the beginnings of things, this is the base I have planned for the new Mushrooms, The Fey Forest Tavern. Right now it is just the basic shape in floral foam:

Well, I'm a fan of cartoonish asymmetry in fantasy buildings! The initial shapes came out well!
I'm eager to see how floral foam cooperates with DAS. Or you will dress foam with green stuff?
But better not to ask so early, I'm sure you are preparing one more eye candy!

The DAS works well with the floral foam. The core of the Entryway is floral foam.
The Tavern will be quite similar; i.e., a tree/dwelling combo only more tree like in this case.

Thank you for your reply, Dinos. Madness it is then; re, I never sure how these things are going to go either.
That did give me the idea of having the March Hare as the Taverns proprietor...I have the Wyrd Tortoise & Hare.

Madness is considered a sacred state of being by some American Indians & motorcycle gangs. It explains why I got a ride from a group of gangers hitch hiking fro California.

The Fey Tavern is coming along; i.e., a more normal tree got added to the base yesterday:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2018%20Random%20Photos/DSCN6218.jpg)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2018%20Random%20Photos/DSCN6219.jpg)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2018%20Random%20Photos/DSCN6220.jpg)

The base now won't contain all of the new Mushrooms & probably wouldn't without the new tree. SO I started YET ANOTHER one.
AND started the painting of the others with the black undercoat:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN6216.jpg?t=1522413168)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN6217.jpg?t=1522413169)

The larger Mushrooms have their white dry brush done now, but no photos as yet.

It was a bit of an experiment. I wanted to see how a variety of Mushrooms would work as a vignette/collage. I think I will be doing more of them. Including miniatures with the Mushrooms will be something I will work on as well...life can be exciting.

You should try some Solo games, like Sellswords & Spellslingers or Pulp Alley.
When I have not players available I use these solo games, currently I'm playing a fantasy solo campaign with S&S.

For awhile before I moved to Texas I did a solo game with modified AD&D rules. It was enjoyable. I may have to give it a try sometime.
I find that I have become more of a painter/modeler over the years. Gaming seems better as a memory than an activity.

We do have a lot in common, W.K.. I still tend to base most of my miniatures with some game or other in mind. The last table top games I played were Napoleonic using Column, Line, & Square rules. SO the basing is for games I have never played. I do have a life long love of toy soldiers AND I love making terrain, particularly the buildings, trees, & ,of late, all those Mushrooms. Doing what I love for no reason other than the love is a joy.

Thanks for the reply, Fram...glad you like them. The center Fellow is my favorite at the moment also.

AND another one joins the throng. This one has a green tinged complexion:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN6254.jpg?t=1523623359)

...along with another batch of smaller, less personable types.
AND I have gotten an another idea from some of the Pinerest stuff; i.e., to make some caricature heads for use with kit bashed G.W. bodies.
The Munchausenish Fellow is a the prototype:

Thanks for the reply, Tobias. I am happy you like him...looks like a "him"...AND the Munchausen Fellow. I have some requests for Mushrooms. SO there will be more forthcoming along with some other silliness.
Some of the polymer puppets & miniatures on Pinterest have me planning some Living Impaired Folk to use the G.W. plastic Empire & Zombie stuff I have in the Vault with some home made heads. This style head:

...the Kids do miss a lot, but then I don't understand a lot of what they say either.

Meanwhile... how about a GIANT MOREL?

That is a BEAUTY. It is surprising how big some real mushrooms can get.

Stunning! Impressive! The father of all morels!!!

...Paradise for a gourmet.

:o

you don't happen to live near a nuclear power plant?  o_o

I hope it's as tasty as it is big!

After four months of staring at it, I decided how I will go with The Twisted Tower Photo Stage. I added a bas-relief foliage topping to what will be a background of painted tree trucks similar to The Spooky Woods.

All that blank space around the tower & the trees had me baffled for months. Then I just did a variation on what worked with the Spooky Woods stage.
The original idea was one that was inspired by Ana Polanscak's Garden of Hecate.
I have a few balls in the air right now; SO the stage will be coming along slowly, but coming along nonetheless.
Thanks for the kind reply & ongoing support, Dinos. It is appreciated.

One thing though is see if you can add a little looser or less flat foliage to those areas (maybe temporarily, just to see how it looks - you could always lay the stage flat to do this without glue of any sort), because they look a hair too homogeneous right now.

More than twenty years ago I started making mushrooms of the normal sort & scrolls from the leftover plumber's putty I used,  & still use for scenic work on my bases.
Years later, when I started green stuffing faces on the larger Mushrooms, I used excess green stuff for the scrolls & faces. I used the disembodied faces to stick in windows & such.
Now I've started making large(r) faces on purpose. What the purpose is, & how I am going to use the faces is another question:

The variety of different mushrooms is staggering. Some don't readily lend themselves to personalization, but there are SO many that do.

Also looking forward to the Rhino.

The Tree is something I will have to try. It could be a multiple personality thing, like the Nightmare Cap Mushroom.
The Rhino is now based. I extended & curved his horn, AND started on the armor. The body in James Christensen's illustration is shorten or, at least, shorter than the miniature rhino; it makes for a slightly different look.

I do love popping in after a while and catching up. Marvellous work even now. I do like the look of some of the creepy trees in these photos.

Thanks for stopping by & leaving a reply, Brummie Thug! I am glad you like the stuff. The Trees are fun to do; at this stage in the game, I stick to what is fun.

The green stuff work is progressing slowly, but progressing nonetheless:

The basic idea remains the same, but I am making it more my own.

I finished the last of the little mushrooms. SO before I base them up & send them off, I thought one last set of Group Photos might be in order:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN6349.jpg)

The bases are waiting in the wings:

Great work on the rhino too - can't wait to see that one in its full psychedelic-Durer glory!

There is something about seeing them all in a bunch that is very appealing. Thanks for the reply.
I am glad you like the Group & the Rhino, Hobgoblin. I have been enjoying my occasional trips to your thread as well.
I have high hopes for the Rhino.

The Pinterest mushrooms did add to the even brighter than normal colors...it's always nice to have someone else to blame.
Durer's Rhono is inspiring:

I don't know much about Durer's works. So the mention of him & the search paid off in a new set of inspiring illustrations.
Dali's Rhino is so unlike anything I have seen him do. Both are wonderful. AND James Christensen has other strange animals in his portfolio.
I need another fifty years to do everything I'd like to do...I'll have to have a word with The Man.

Thanks, Brummie Thug...glad you like them. Every so often I take Group Photos of my current Mushrooms. I sometimes wonder what a picture of ALL the ones I have made would look like. Most wind up in other Folks possession/collections.

Thanks, Tobias. I will try to take another Group Portrait when all the Mushrooms are based up. I have some other finished that I will include.
Since a number of the gang will be sent off to other Folk, this will be a parting shot.

I have never done a Fenris miniature. SO I checked out the Fenris Duerer Rhinos. It is a very impressive piece.
My only hesitation in taking up your offer is that I am not sure I would ever get to painting it.

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN6366.jpg)

A couple of Dark Hold Goblin Monks have volunteered to add some character to the bases.
It is rumored they are hoping to be on the out of country bases...I promise not to mention The Donald as the reason:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/DSCN6365.jpg)

To my eyes, all the mushrooms on the ready bases don't seem to have a sullen or grim look, instead, they seem to be happy and cheerful, one of them waving his hand to call us to come closer... They want to narrate to us the endless stories of the Spooky Woods!  :-*

The Rhino is panzered  :) slowly and steadily...

And... WOW!!!  :o
The Faerie Gate with its guards is Fan-Ta-Stic!!!
Yes, the piece became busier, so, more close-up photos please!
From slightly different angles- so as to show all the magic you've done there!
Cheers!

Thank you for the enthusiastic reply, Dinos. Your Mushroom now has a friend mounted. Once I get a group photo, they will be on their way to you...proably toward the end of the week.
The nastier Mushroom Folk have yet to be mounted...other than the one with the knife.
The Rhino's armor takes a little extra time. One side at a time to avoid smearing. It's fun; ergo, I don't care how long it takes.
I will do some extra photos for you later today...I hope.

The purple grinner seems to have gained a taller friend... and an entourage.  lol

But really there are some of your best in this batch. The toothsome one, the double-stack, the one headed to Athens are all particularly great too. They'll all make their their presence felt, wherever they go!

What Fram says and more! Your bold color combinations, here at their best!
And so different face expressions, as you always do!
You manage to create an individual personality for each one of them!
They look as a group of old friends who had a reunion and now they have a group photo before they part...
And you already know how happy (and flattered and thankful and...) I am for one of them is coming to meet me and I'll have the opportunity and privilege to have a close look to one of your oevres!
And be able to touch a small fraction of your dreams that you have the magic might to transform into living stuff!
They are wonderful, all of them! Cheers!

Thank you for the kind reply & all your support, Dinos. It is good to know my Mushrooms will be with a friend.
I have been told my photos do not do the miniatures any favors. You will be able to judge for yourself when the piece(s) arrive.

I thank you! Received your photo album. Generally all photos don't do the miniatures favors, not only yours  ;) :D
And that was the reason I kindly asked you to try and take some more close ups from slightly different angles from the Faerie Gate.
Rarely -if never- the photo lens can catch all what the eye can see. Having added the Goblin Guard to the Faerie Gate means that you have added at least two or three levels of deepness for photography, something that a camera cannot catch in one single pic! (I don't know if I expressed well what I mean, I'm sure you are aware of this).

I will be getting to the additional photos of The Gate. The Goblins are clamoring for more pics as well.
From different angle little difference & details come into focus. Finding little things that had gone unnoticed make a piece special.

I can relate. In baseball, if someone has a no hitter going, NO ONE mentions it. To do so will jinx the thing.
I haven't the vaguest idea how the final piece will look. He is FUN to do though.

He really is a Big Fellow, much larger than a 28mm scale miniature should be.
I went browsing through parts of the Safari Ltd listing. They have quite a selection on critters, including a nice looking Hippo & a differently posed rhino...the Mushrooms are getting paranoid.

I'm always in need of good shrooms, but alas, I am broke at the moment. :)

That wouldn't be a problem; re, I have never gotten cash payment for any of the Mushrooms I have sent Folks...they are gifts.

To add an extra touch of whimsy a.k.a. silliness to the Mushroom, I made a few more Faerie Goblins:

Now that the green stuff has cured, I removed the sheet plastic & did a black wash over the trio.

They are kit bashed creations. The wings are Reaper 03486 Fairy Wings. Heads, torsos, & legs are out of production G.W. Night Goblin plastic. The arms & the Tall Guy's legs are G.W. Zombie plastic. I have lots of extra Night Goblin parts if you like to try your hand at them.

Amid all the silliness, it is easy to miss one or two posts.  I posted/made these a year or so ago.
The Mushrooms where these Fellows will be lurking are coming along nicely. It should be too long a wait.

The second Mushroom from the right is demonstrating a multiple personality trait...there are a couple others with this problem/blessing:

The latest batch seem to be divided between those with merry, if somewhat suspect, expressions & those that are well & truly ticked off.
The photos pointed out that pinkish spot which is now a glowing green.

True. I find that the first piece in a group set the standard & mood for the rest of the pieces. The second one is underway.

The formula for these is Night Goblins from GW plus wings from..........?  Or do you sculpt them?

Thanks, Pendrake. This group of Faerie Goblins is pretty straight forward. The flying ones have more repositioning & wiring/pinning.
I have some photos on pg 374, but as long as I was looking them up, here they are:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2018%20Random%20Photos/DSCN6471.jpg?t=1530024404)

The wings are Reaper 03486 Faerie Wings. Their Demon & Angel wings are useful also.
I picked up a butterfly punch that I am going to try to use for the wings at some time or other. I punch them out of sheet styrene plastic.

I have a small one that punches out a solid silhouette. I used that for The Butterfly & The Tree.
The larger punch leaves the vein pattern with holes where the membranes would be. It should give a nice transparent effect.

Absolutely inspiring work, I love them :-*

Thank you for the kind reply, Suber. I am happy you like the stuff.

Before when you had the fae gobbos on their own, I had Flight of the Bumblebee in my head.

But now with that base, I hear Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Those gobbos are up to something nefarious in any case, with only the shrooms to witness it.

Also love the eyes hiding in the tufts, on the side of the base.

The Goblins do have an untrustworthy look to them. It could be their shifty eyes. I am glad you like the piece.

Oh my god, I didn't even notice those. Brilliant!

...getting the eyes to show up in a photo was a royal pain. Even when they did appear it was easy to overlook them.
Having new things noticed with each viewing makes it a success for me. I am glad you like it, Fram.

These photos were taken using the backs of two W.I.P. photo stages. The stuff does look pretty cool on black backgrounds. It is like they stepped out of the surrounding dark into a pool of light.

I have done all of the Dark Hold Goblins at least once. When they offered the Monks in packs of ten, I got two packs.
I have the one that comes with the Priest & seven more painted, including these two. SO there are five of the
Little Guys (10 mm tall) stuck on various bases with thirteen plus another Priest's assistant.
When I did fantasy cartoons, there would be an odd red eye peeping out of a hole in the wall. The eye carried over to
the miniatures, along with faces, & the Monks...the Vultures are joining the supporting cast as well.

All that aside, I am happy you like him, Fram. Thanks for the reply.

Malifaux's got a lot of good fits for this project, doesn't it?  You should maybe take a look at Privateer's Hordes Grymkin stuff as well, for ex these drunken loons:

Thanks for the link, H.S.. I have picked up a number of the Grymkin miniatures. There are some minis from P.P's Minions & their Mercenaries that are also appealing.
I splurged on some of the Wrath of Kings stuff as well, namely the House Teknes. Steampunk has an appeal for me. It is very Alice in Wonderland-ish.

I find Privateer's range kind of generally useful for steampunk, some flavors of scifi, Malifaux/Through the Breach, and whatever you want to call tech/clockwork-fantasy gaming (arcanopunk?).  All those Cryx mecha-zombies are great for strange dungeoncrawl monsters, and the Everblight figs work well as alien monsters in straight sf.  The more cartoony Grymkin stuff doesn't seem to be very well-liked by the actual Hordes community, so it's probably a good thing they've got plenty of other homes.

It seems to me that the War Machine/Hordes Folk, Wrath of Kings players, &, to an extent, the Malifaux devotees  are more interested in the game than the miniatures.
You can check for Malifaux fanaticism by pronouncing it Molly Fox.
The Grymkin minis are beauties & I am sure they will be well receive by the non-gamers...like me. The Teknes stuff is cool & the stuff of conversions.
It must be less powerful than the other Houses...they don't seem to be making new things for it,

One of my coworkers consistently greets a customer named Francois with "hello, Fran Koys" so yeah, I could see Molly Fox being a trigger.

I haven't noticed it so much with Malifaux, but Warmahordes players sure do play with unpainted stuff a lot.  Definitely more about the competition and the rules mechanics with that crowd than the minis.  Their dislike of Grymkin seems to stem from them looking cartoony (or "too Malifaux") which is pretty funny when you look at some of the goofier sculpts in the rest of the ranges.  Stupidly overlarge weapons, shoulder pads that would make GW blush, and the Popeye look half the troll warbeasts have...guys, your pot is as black as Malifaux's kettle.  :)

Hi!
Trying to catch up again with the thread, I like very much the second set of pictures of the Lucky Guy, this background is superb, I had already commented the magic locking mechanism...
The Grymkin stuff also is very interesting.
Eager to see the Dark Hold Goblin Monk fellows participating in a complete scene!

Hi, Dinos. Thanks for the reply. Lucky is the smallest & simplest of the effigies. I am hoping to get them all done before the Fall...Autumn that is.
There should be quite a few of the Little Monks popping up here & there. I discovered another pack of ten, giving me twenty five of the them. AND the Gymkin will see some more attention. The King of Nothing that I did awhile ago is a Grymkin.

I learned a fact oddly apropos to your thread yesterday. Apparently brown bears that encounter psylocybin mushrooms in the wild will patrol, ration, and protect them!

So if you see a brown bear in the woods there's a non-zero chance it's trippin' way out mannnnn!  ;D

This could lead to a modification of an old saw:

Thanks Dinos. I am happy you enjoy the variety of expressions. They aren't really planned; they just happen.
Since I depend to a greater or lesser degree on reading lips, I watch the flow of expressions that folk go through when telling a story.

The do look rather like a police lineup...disreputable, everyone of them.
Cap'n John is just about up to speed again...thanks for the good wishes.

Damnit isn't much for playing with stuff. He's an outdoor cat, King of the Pecan Grove, & general hooligan.

The dark shade is Americana Red Violet. Unfortunately they no longer make that shade; SO I have been trying to match it up.
Americana dioxazine purple mixed with cranberry wine come close. I also tried the purple with alazarin crimson; that was slightly lighter
& a bit brighter.

In many dioramas one may see a fine paintjob on the main object and a poor base.
A base with interesting details enhances its beauty, it suffices not to catch the eye of the viewer away from the main object.
Fine turf and also the contrasts you give make the base worthy of its main object.
I haven't worked with plumber's epoxy putty...
Be sure I will ask you questions on how to dos in due time  :)

A nicely done base sets the miniature in a time & place, giving it a story to tell. It adds a narrative to the scene.
With the moss: I do the first layer with hot glue for height, then another level attached with super glue.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Dinos. I like the ones with the faces in the stems best also.
The creepy eye has gotten mixed reviews. It compliments the Fang Faces Mushroom nicely though.

It has possibilities. Thanks for the reply, Fram.

One of the Fellows on the Reaper Forum did up this Ral Partha/Iron Wind Witch. She was irresistible.
SO I picked one up & added a Pumpkinhead kit-bash as a henchman:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2018%20Random%20Photos/DSCN6730.jpg)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2018%20Random%20Photos/DSCN6731.jpg)

...with a semi-buried tombstone for atmosphere:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2018%20Random%20Photos/DSCN6732.jpg)

Meanwhile, the Mushrooms are coming along. The basing is progressing nicely:
(https://2img.net/h/i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6725.jpg?t=1536932075)

(https://2img.net/h/i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6726.jpg?t=1536932076)

There are a trio of Mushrooms that will be based up...finally; AND some supporting cast mushrooms:
(https://2img.net/h/i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6727.jpg?t=1536932076)

Plus a new Mushroom & some repainting of supporting casters:

Say Al, have you ever considered trying any distinctly Asian mushrooms. Enochi? Or a Chanterelle/Oyster/Shiitake-type (where the cap flares out and upward and is depressed in the centre)? Or a crazy layered affair like Chicken of the Woods/Oyster beds?

Just dropped in to say I have followed this thread for years! Simply Fantastic stuff, certainly one of my favourite projects for sheer realisation and vision, your creations always bring a smile to my face  :)

 To add to Frams suggestions, an Ink Cap could be very cool! they kind of 'melt' as they get older, eventually turning into an inky blob, one that has just begun to drip could look pretty interesting, some scope for some interestion expressions there!

Thanks, Fram. I am open to suggestions. Thus far my reference books are North American varieties. The Elf Cups have that inverted cap style...they were fun to do.
I can look up the Asian mushrooms on Pinterest. Chicken of the Woods sounds interesting...pun possibilities as well.

Yesterday I finished up a silly Old Mushroom who had been in The Box for quite some time:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6738.jpg)

Today I wrapped up a couple more of the older Mushrooms:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6740.jpg?t=1537400289)

The new Mushroom got his white over black base coat:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6735.jpg)

AND three more Mushroom have sprouted...if that is what Mushrooms do:

I am so enjoying this thread.

..I am open to suggestions...
Have you ever triple-decked a mushroom?

I got to wondering what does a chariot for a mushroom look like?  If that is possible: ...a cart ...with dirt in it for the shroom to root into ...the cart is pulled by ________ on an adjacent Base?

...The Ink Caps sound like just the thing to try...especially the dripping part.
Just from reading the words “Ink Caps” I am picturing one mushroom with a puddle of ink on [in?] its head and nearby there is a taller shroom armed with a brush or a quill making use of the ink. Or maybe the ink is dripping into an ink pot...

I have seen photos of mushrooms with smaller mushrooms of the same type growing on their stems. One more layer might be cool looking..or just plain strange.
I have a couple Goblin chariots that might work. I would imaging a Mushroom  mobile would be a cart, preferably full, that hauls off manure.
AND this is an Ink Pot:

The Pixie Fellows hat's resemblance to a mushroom cap got me thinking of a Goblin in that type of headgear.

Is the Goblin wearing a Mushroom Cap or is he a new example of the evolving Mushrooms?
The Mushrooms deny the latter idea.

Very nice additions. The lonely mushroom in the first photo reminds me of Bela Lugosi.  :)

...now that you mention it. There is something about the mouth & eyes.
Glad you like the stuff, Tungdil. Thanks for the reply.

I have been playing around with some new homemade faerie/butterfly wings.
The wings are made with a paper punch. The inner "skin" is the peal off layer
from insulation foam:

The Goblin is a basic O.O.P. plastic G.W. Night Goblin with green stuff shoe extensions & belt:

Thanks, Tungdil...glad you like him.
The thing with the old G.W. Night Goblins is that have such a basic silliness to them that nothing you add seems out of place.

However, it does look good enough that I don't feel rushed to paint the stuff up.  I am happy you both agree.

SO another Mushroom has been added to the October batch:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6786.jpg)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6787.jpg)

These are the other Mushrooms sans the Goblins:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6788.jpg)

AND the Gang with Leo Sizechek for comparison:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/Mushrooms/Mushrooms%20II/DSCN6789.jpg)

They are BIG Guys.

AND I did a rebase & rebase coat on two minis that I picked up in my one & only visit to The War Store out in Southold, LI. These Guys are either Black Scorpion or Laughing Monk. In either case, they are no longer listed as available. One is a Fairy Hunter; the other I think was called The Seven Sins:

I am hoping to overcome the intimidation factor that is part of very cluttered minis...I hope.

Hi!
I already said that I was feeling the October batch will be great, but the new additions are beyond any guess!
Your new reversed cup mushroom looks great!
You also did very well to hire a Czech for measuring the size of your shrooms, lol I deem Mr Leo will do his job methodically and with a professional zeal!

Fairy Hunter and the Seven Sins! Very inspired sculpts!
You should not have to fear the intimidation factor of cluttering, as they have to be like that!
And, for sure, when you paint them with your bold colors, every tiny detail on them will show!
Each one of them has a long story to tell and one must watch them from all sides
Also... watch the watches!
The different hour they show must have connection with the relativity of time  lol
Being more serious, they have a rare originality and they deserve some close-ups!
Eager to see them painted! Cheers!

Thanks as always for the positive response, Dinos. I should get a start on the Mushrooms & friends today. Yesterday was lost to a trip to the Wild Flower Store in distant Fredricksburg.
The Mystery minis are cluttered in an obvious way that should be fairly easy to handle. The Rackham minis I had in backlog were much more fiddly...they were donated to more ambitious painters. We will see how they turn out.
I also have plans for more Pumpkinheads in keeping with the Halloween mood of the month.

Superb additions! The big mushroom in the first photo is my favourite. His face looks so natural. Again great stuff.


Thanks for the reply, Tungdil. Do you mean the Cup Mushroom? He does have a lecherous grin...I like that in a fungus.

love the trumpet mushroom - wonder if he does a 'dizzy' with his cheeks when he let's rip ...  :)

I hadn't thought of the musical possibilities for the Cup Mushroom, but you & one of the T.B.M.F. Folk pointed it out.
I remember Dizzy Gillespie's cheeks puffing out like a balloon. It almost looked like he would float away.
With the smaller cups/trumpets surrounding the Big Guy, he could sound like a steam calliope.

To be honest, I took A LOT OF PHOTOS on my unfinished photo stage:

The colour scheme on these fellows tickles my brain the right spots too.

last picture in that batch is, in particular, so beautifully fantastical and evocative.

Thanks, Bloggard. I look forward to the Group Portraits with each batch. I am happy you liked it.

Yes!!! All your gang on the photo stage!!!
Perfect pictures! Amazing! Your creations, in an ideal environment!
At once they get a 3D look, they take even more life and their colors pop!
And the little monk, here and there, playing with the photo lens!
I come back to see them again and again! So nice!
Looking at these pics, makes me happy!!! Cheers!

Thanks, for the kind comments, Dinos. I am delighted you enjoyed it. A big plus for me is that you & quite a fair number of other Folk find the Mushrooms make them happy.
I had some focusing issues with some of the pics, & had to retake a few. The colors look just about right. The Little Monks are popping up in all sorts of places...there is a little mushroom with a face as well.

Oh I love that blue!
The colour scheme on these fellows tickles my brain the right spots too.

Thanks for the reply, Fram. The blue is Folk Art Ink spot. I did blended highlights with Cobalt Blue & Americana Calypso Blue; then a wash with the Ink Spot.
It reminds me of the Garde Francais. The red & green caps are favorites with me...I am delighted you like them as well.

:o They look amazing in a big group together!  :o  Well done good sir, your work is inspirational as always!

Thanks, Smoke Frog. I am happy you like the Group pics AND that you are getting inspired is quite a compliment.
The Group pics are slightly out of focus, but the effect is pleasant nonetheless.

The prototype for the three remain (thus far) October Mushroom is done.

The one on the right reminds me of Zero Mostel; SO I was thinking of calling this type of Mushroom Mostels.

I got an idea for a new style Pumpkinhead/Jack O'Lantern Horror from this illustration (Pinterest):
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1d/89/cf/1d89cf37d710370e2ede2ce1933eab73.jpg)

SO I gave it a try:

It is a bit larger than I intended, but not too much so. I am pretty happy with the results.
I picked up a couple of techniques that I will apply to further Jack O'Lanterns.

The grin on the face of the left Pumpkinhead reminds me of the Gorgoneion!

According to Greek Mythology, it was the head of Gorgo or Medusa killed by Perseus, decorating the shield of Goddess Athena.
Anyone looking at it, was petrified. Used during Antiquity as an apotropaic symbol, decorating shields, necklaces, doors etc.

Thanks, Tungdil. It's not so much productivity as a lot of available time. Doing the dollies (basic shape) took about an hour or a bit more.
Once I start the green stuff, things slow down, but I can devote an entire day to the sculpting.

The resemblance to the Gorgon is something that didn't occur to me, be she does look like that one. Getting stoned from mushrooms is a bit different than the Gorgons stare.

I have some ideas for the  Pumpkinheads II. Making on a Specter is a possibility. A fellow on the Reaper Forum posted some Secret Weapon's Field of Screams bases in my thread for me to consider. They feature Evil Jack O'Lanterns. They are quite nice & have some wonderful ideas that I may mimic on my own bases.

The Specter is the largest of the new Jack O'Lanterns. The others are about the same size as the Reaper Jacks. SO
they will be used with the G.W. kit-bashed bodies for more normal Pumpkinheads.

Here I catch up again with the thread!
The Spectre when finished will be a unique piece, I'm sure!
But also your new Jack O'Lanterns and the gravestones will be a hit!
I see you are in full Halloween mood! Cheers!

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the new Fellows. I always seem to be in a Halloween mood.
Despite having only twice gone trick or treating, it is a favorite holiday,& a fine source of interesting projects.

Loving those headstones🤙

Thanks, Roo. I am glad you like them. I started doing the hanted headstones when I did a graveyard for my Witches Boards.
They often pop up whenever I do a sinister setting...they are fun to make. Under the green stuff are Renedra gravestones.

Agree - the way you're able to manipulate greenstuff is skillful for sure.

Thanks, von Lucky. I am glad you like my green stuff work. While I think there is a great deal of improving that I could do, I am surprised I do as well as I do.

When ever I drop by this thread it just makes me smile. :) Love different Fantasy, and what you're doing here is unique. The best thing is that you're doing more and more for it and keep at it. Really a delight.

I second that thought :)

Also I have noticed DeafNala's painting is getting even more amazing :o

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like the Pumpkinhead. I don't have any plans, but I rarely do. We will just have to see what develops as we go along.

Someday Al must post pictures of the entire collection - now that would be monumentally terrifying!

A lot of things have been given away & a few were sold. I have photos of a most of the recent years works, but not all in one lump.
Almost all the Pumpkinheads less the first two Gangs can be seen, W.I.P. & finished here:

The fangs & eyes add another level of horror to the Beasties. The look less like carved Jack O'Lanterns, & more like some bizarre creations/creatures.

Thank you for the kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the Guy.
The haunted tombstones have been regulars since I did them for the Witches'/Goblin Shanty Town's Cemetery, St Lascivious' Graveyard.
I think I got the idea from Jacob Marley's visage appearing on Scrooge's doorknocker in A Christmas Carol. They are what I am working on now.
With little to distract me in the evenings, I should make decent progress on the piece & future ones as well.

Thanks, Tungdil. I am happy you like the thingies. In an era of subdued colors, I am always happy to receive positive feedback on my vivid shades.

Wow! Such industrious activity! Such wild trees! Such colorful 'shroom-men!

Thanks for the kind & enthusiastic response, PhilB! I am happy you enjoyed the pieces AND the colors.

The more impressive feat is that almost all of those pages have loads of pictures and they're all great fun. I'm not sure there's another thread on LAF which even comes close to the riches of images Al has provided here!

...aw shucks, twere'nt nothing!
There are at least three reasons for the heavy photo versus text. My stuff isn't pitched at any particular game or any games at all for that matter. That eliminates games & rules talk. Secondly I am don't what the things I make languishing, unseen in the closet. So I post an ungodly number of photos here & on a couple other forums. AND I receive so many kind, encouraging comments here from all of my dear followers that the need to continue the project is always reinforced. SO it is all your fault.

I started painting these three pieces after having them in the wings for awhile:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2018%20Random%20Photos/DSCN6993.jpg)

The Scarecrow & her Minion are Bombshell Babe minis, the Witch is a Ral Parhta/Iron Wind, the Voodoo Guy is a Wyrd, & the Pumpkinhead is mine:

Hopefully they will progress without further delay/interruption...unlikely as that is.

Thanks, Smoke Fog. I am glad you like it. I got the idea for the colors from a ceramic mushroom featured on Pinterest.

Wonderful stuff the last few posts, Nala! Big Pumpkinhead is horrific!

It is scary, but I just might make it to 800 pages.
That aside, I am happy you are still enjoying the stuff, Mister Frau Blucher. Thanks for the reply.

Taking pictures of your works among the suitable environment shows up and gives prominence to  new creation of yours!
The main reason is that you have designed the surroundings (in this case the Spooky Woods), so, anything else you make,blends perfectly well, as if it was living its whole life there! I love your photo staged pictures!

I enjoy doing the final photos on a stage; re, it places them in a suitable environment...like the scenery for a stage play.
ANDI am trying for a touch of drama. I am happy you like it, Dinos.

I have a fondness for the stripes myself. I am glad you like them as well, Fram.

Awesome colors! I like how her eyes are glowing in the same manner as the pumpkin she is raising.

The colors are a little bit off in the photos. There is more depth & contrast than the pics would have you believe.
Be that as it may, I am happy you like them as they appear, Mister Frau Blucher.

Thanks for the reply, Mister Frau Blucher. I am glad you like them.
The Pumpkinhead's expression has gotten a few interpretations thus far. One Fellow on the Reaper Forum thinks he bears a resemblance to Kermit the Frog.
That he has enough character to give a variety of opinions is a real plus for me.

Beautiful stuff.

The Witch & her Pumpkinhead Swain are a one-of-a-kind item!  :-*
This is why it is great -when photo staging- to take a number of pictures from different angles and heights, to let your creation show all its character aspects!
And you know well that your picture are never boring! The more, the better! Cheers!

Thanks, Mister Frau Blucher. The Voodoo Guy is a Wyrd Gremlin: Sammy Le Croix.
The original pins he stuck in the Voodoo Dolls head were too delicate. I had to replace them with real pins

Another triumphantly successful trio of yours and thank you for the pictures taken from so many good angles!
All three of them have their own beauty and you have taken special care of the bases too, so that they add to the story!!!
Cheers!

Thanks for the kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the miniatures & their bases...I love doing bases...among other things.
I have Magrat the Trash Heap's Minions out & ready for attention. They should be next, but Sammy La Croix has me wanting
 to do some Gremlins. It makes the future rather murky...murkier is more like it.

Thinking about how things change. Now I feel happy having finished a half dozen or a little more miniatures in a month. When
I was doing historical games & later commission work, a hundred minis was not unusual to have done in a month. The enjoyment
is greater now.

I started on Mag's (Magrat The All Seeing Trash Heap) Minions again today...they were initially started last January. The first of the two Combat Shrews is done. Seen here with the rest of the Gang:

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like him, particularly the metalwork. I don't have much occasion to do armor lately.
I used my watercolor/ink/metallic paint base with a new metal color: Zinc from FolkArt. I was happy with the results;
I am glad you agree.

Cool additions. The combat shrews looking great.

Thanks, Tungdil. I am glad you like them. I have other pieces from Dark Sword that I now am encouraged to paint.

So much to catch up with :o

I can only imagine how it would look if you'd try to get all your stuff out for a picture o_o

How do you actually store everything? Is it all in boxes, or do you have a room where all your imaginative lands lay out, populated by all the fantastic and unique characters you have created over the years?

Storage is a problem. Most of my stuff is hidden away in boxes. The larger pieces are covered up to avoid the dust & stored in the spare room.
If I didn't post all the photos, some of it would never be seen. This is one of the reasons I give stuff away.
I have been thinking of taking photos of ALL the stuff I still have. It would take awhile, but, if The Camera was cooperative it might be pretty cool
&, possibly, impressive...or not.

Thanks, Paul. I am glad you like the new stuff. They do look better in person though.

Love that Goblin... such a great job with the trio all round.

A group shot (or group shots) of everything, would be monstrously impressive.

It would have to be several sessions if I was to include the boards. Just with the miniatures, there are several hundred pieces.
It would be a LOT of work, but I think it might be tremendous fun as well. Seeing it all together in several photos would
be well worth the effort...I think.


I add my voice to this.
Meanwhile, I would be very glad to learn how you make the shading on the armor.

The shading on the metal is a base coat of Dr Ph Martin Slate Blue Water Color, Daler Rowney Black Ink, & FolkArt Zinc (acrylic paint
similar, but slightly darker than gunmetal). Once dry, I highlight with the Zinc, then highlight the Zinc with a mix of Zinc & Silver. When
I do the gold or other metals I will give you a how-to on the colors used.

I am wrapping up the second Shrew, SO there should be more pics later today...or tomorrow.

The Lads of Mags' Minions are coming along nicely. SO I felt it would be okay to add another piece into the mix.
This is Ral Partha/Iron Wind's Fairy/Faerie Dragon with a couple of Mushroom Cronies.
As the looked on Wednesday:

I had hoped to get one of Grenadier's Oh-So-Silly Elf Dragons, but the Ral Partha is a reasonable alternative; AND silly enough to fit in with the rest of the nonsense.

...I'll name the Ginge Petruchio & let him sort it out with the Shrews. He is getting closer to completion.
Garish is a definite with the Faerie Dragon. Just what colors is anyone's guess. I have been accumulating
pictures of Faerie Dragons, but no close matches yet.

It is good to have you back again, Dinos...I'll take the candle out of the window.
I just now finished the faces on the Mushrooms. I did the Dragon's chest/belly/tail scales last night.
I had a suggestion that the Dragon would look good with a feathered boa. I like the idea, but I don't
think I'm up to sculpting one...now at least. I am happy you are enjoying the progress.

After spending a day playing around with the wings, I decided to leave them unadorned for now.
I may revisit them sometime or other or not, but for now the Faerie Dragon is done.
I took some photos of the Beasties in the Spooky Woods:

I used the retouch feature of The Camera of Continual Contrariness. The colors are closer to actual,
although the backgrounds got darker. C'est la vie, eh?!

What a piece! And striking colors!
The Dragon is emerging behind the two mushrooms, bends his head and curves his neck to take a better aim, and the target is YOU!
...
You take a big breath, ok, it was only your impression, the Dragon seems, even if turned to another angle to be still looking at you!
The mushrooms add drama to the scene, some light coming under their cap brightens their faces...

Great pics! A splendid Faerie Dragon is living in the Spooky Woods!

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like him & his Mushroom associates. The pics turned out better than I had thought they would.
From what I can remember about AD&D, Faerie Dragons have a hallucinogenic gas attack...Oh Wow, the colors, Man!

I have a couple of cluttered miniatures by forgotten mini maker's underway. I'll post pic when they are complete to avoid the jinx factor.
I have done a couple of additional large bases for either large minis or small groups. One is a tree stump base:

Thanks, Dinos. The Stump is a small branch fro a living oak. I live in a grove of pecans & living oaks. They supply me with all sorts of treasures.
Some of my Trees, particularly the ones with faces, are either living oak or pecan branches or bark.

...an enigmatic figure to be sure. I think he was called The Seven Sins: Desire, but I have been wrong before.
He was made by either Laughing Monk or possibly Black Cat although in either case he is no longer available.
Don't you just love a good mystery?

Sometimes after I finish a piece that has spent a long time waiting in the wings, I get a wonderful feeling of release.
With his one I have the feeling I can finish anything I set my mind to.

Thanks, Dinos. It was a long paint, but enjoyable; AND the feeling of release is well worth the effort.
I am delighted you like them...I thought of you when I took the Spooky Woods Stage out of the closet for the shoot.

While I have done some group photos, I haven't seen all the pieces I still have (some have been given away) in one spot. They are scattered in storage & display cases.

You nailed it, Bergil; i.e., it is all one fantasy place...I do need to come up with a name. Only laziness keeps me from the Group Photo.
Doing the boards all in on shot would be a tough nut to crack, but the miniatures should be doable.

Wow, nice new territory! Looks great, and the leaves are really well done.

Thanks, Fram. I am glad you like it. The Carnivore has been something I have thought about, but never attempted.
The fang faced Jack O'Lanterns may have given me the confidence or, at least, a shove in the right direction. I'm
doing some more leaves right now. This has obsession written all over it.

That is a cracking sculpt, mate!

Thanks, Paul. I am happy you like it. I must admit I am pretty pleased with it myself...surprised as well.

The Weed from HELL! is now based & has some tendrils/tentacles to add to the overall creepiness:

I should have it base coated with some moss, mushrooms & stuff later today...or not.

AND I based up & base coated the Wyrd Effigies. The old metal one is on the left with the new oh-so-delicate new one on the right:

The Spooky Woods has been getting quite a work out. Finishing the other stages I have planned is becoming a must-do thing.

Thanks, Dinos I am happy you are enjoying the progress.
To me the bases are a vital part of the miniatures. They place them in a setting that gives the pieces a back story.
I thinks it is a carry over from my first modeling. As a boy I did model railroad buildings. I really could afford the
trains, but I loved making the scenery.

I started an Urban Photo Stage today as well...nothing worth photos..yet.

I was working on some of the Rat Gang; Bones minis from Reaper. The Big Rat needed filling of some gaps between arms & body. Mam Rat needed a modesty restoring blouse, & a head swap...she had a teeny head that resembled an otter. THEN I got a very personable Gnome Tinker, part of the Reaper 12 Days of Christmas thing. He would go perfectly with the L.A.M Robots I have had sitting for a LONG time awaiting paint. AND
...the second Robot only occurred to me later:

They are characters, AND, once I got by the color hangup, a joy to paint. I do wish the L.A.M. stuff was more easily obtainable in the US.
ANYWAY thanks for the reply, Matt. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thanks, Paul. I am glad you like them. I got those & a few other things from C.M.o.N. when they had the good taste to carry the L.A.Ms.

Gaseous George (a take off on my Grandma's favorite wrestler, Gorgeous George) was finished sometime in '11. The rest have been waiting their turn for since then:

Having one already done would seem to make the rest easier to do. However, the finished one was done seven years ago.
This does not portend well for a speedy completion, but you never know.

Gaseous George found his friends!
Striking colors and phosphorizing eyes! Very well done!

The guy who designed these minis has imagination in powers of 10!

Thank you, Dinos. I am delighted you like them. They actually proved to be fairly enjoyable to paint.
I wish that Rackham gave their sculptors credit for the pieces they made. I would look for more of this fellows work if I knew who he was.
They do have quite a lot of character, & the detail is somewhat less fiddly than most Confrontation stuff.

Did you just add more yellow to the green or another colour too?

Thanks von Lucky, I am glad you like them.
I usea a wet Black Forest Green as a base; then Irish moss with Citron as the final highlight. I often use Lemon Yellow as the final highlight, but not this time.
I have a new color, Pistachio, that would work for the final dot. All the colors are DecoArt/Americana except for the Pistachio which is FolkArt.

The Girl isn't quite as garish as she appears in the retouched photos. In the untouched pic she is a little paler than in reality. Reality being somewhere between the two:

Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 01/09/19 Dwarfs, Goblins, Wizards, & Demon Rum
Post by: DeafNala on January 10, 2019, 12:03:22 AM
Yesterday I painted up one of the WizKids Kegs. While I was at it I dug out an Armorcast Small Dwarven Keg. The thing lacked a back; i.e., it was probably meant to be put against a wall or stood up straight. SO&nbsp;I made a stand for it, &amp; made a back. That's when I decided to give it a Devil/Demon face like the keg in my Goblin Village: Demon Rum. Then I added a tail.
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7500.jpg?t=1546991116)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7501.jpg?t=1546991116)

The Guards are from Reaper (Dwarf) &amp; Dark Hold/Rebel Miniatures (Goblin). This is how a little piece can escalate to a full blown project.
Today I finished the Wizard, seen here in the Spooky Woods:

Thus far things have been moving along nicely.

Thanks once more for a kind reply, Dinos. I am glad you like the Wizard & stuff. I will see what I can do about more pics of the Wizard. He is
Reaper's 03393 Vistari Quillscratcher. I think he looks a lot like one of my old PC/NPC characters. Neighbor Tom thinks he looks like me.
I am mulling over the base for the Demon Rum & Guards; i.e., individually mounted or diorama. That shouldn't slow don the painting, however.

Thank you for the kind reply, marianas_gamer. I am happy you like the Demon Rum Keg. Giving things that normally are faceless faces is my thing.
I started the project with the idea of sticking with what I loved. It made consistency a snap.

Ha, the keg is great.

The Wizard is Reaper's 03393 Vistari Quillscratcher. I've had him based up & ready to paint for awhile. I am glad you like him & the keg.
Thanks for the reply, Fram.
Title: Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 01/13/19 Demon Rum & an Owl Bear
Post by: DeafNala on January 13, 2019, 01:44:30 PM
Yesterday I played around with bases. The Demon Rum was painted . I decided to base it for gaming with Fast Flo's Fun House Crew:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7509.jpg)

There was only enough room for the Goblin. The Dwarf will appear elsewhere:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7511.jpg)

I got a free Reaper Owl Bear with my last order. He is done in their new Black Bones plastic:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7512.jpg)

The base might be a little too large:
(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7513.jpg)

I am not a fan of Bones at all, but this new stuff is a nice, hard plastic. It holds a fine level of detail, requires no scrubbing, & there were no mold lines to clean I did a black wash over the mini after the pics were taken. It took the paint splendidly.

Hi!
Looking at your recent works  :o I feel i'm starting to be out of words of praise  lol
The beginning of this year shows that we keep very many surprises for us!
The owl came out great! The whole vignette is unique, done in your own style, with the ever-present mushrooms, but also this poster is stunning!  :-*
You have an enormous talent always sculpting new faces and expressions!

And the Rum Keg, couldn't be better, a real oeuvre d'art!

Cheers!

Thanks, beefcake! I am glad you like him. The idea for the colors came from Schrumpfkopf's Chicken Bear post.
Someone mentioned doing the Birdbear in white like Foghorn, AND that decided the issue.

Thank you for the kind words, Dinos. I all too often am at a loss for words these days myself. I do appreciate the morale boosting responses though.
I am delighted you enjoyed both pieces. There will be more posters when I start doing the urban photo stages. Now, the barrel has me thinking of doing
an interior tavern scene, or maybe a sidewalk cafe/saloon.

Thanks, Fram. I must have done the preview, & moved on without doing the post.

The Dwarf & his barrels complete the Barrels down at Fast Flo's group:

It was "to the tables down at Mory's" that clicked in as "to the barrels down at Fast Flo's".
I want to get a photo of the barrels & the Crew at Fast Flo's eventually. This may mean making a Tavern photo stage.

Thanks, Dinos. I am glad you like him. I think I know what Asterix character you mean. I never had the chance to read the comics, but I did get to paint the miniatures.
I an still just in the thinking part of the Tavern photo stage. The Chapel on St. Lascivious' Cemetery might be a good model to base the Tavern on.

In the meanwhile, I wrapped up the Leprechaun & Owl yesterday. They are part of S. White's Consortium:

Thanks, beefcake. I am happy you like him.
When I went to do some in The Woods pics, I noticed a little problem with his left eye. SO I played around with it until it looked better.
Now I am waiting on the upload of the new picks to be sure I got it right. If he looks good & the photos are in focus, there will be some more pics
soon...or not.

Robh has a point there.. putting your imaginationing into written/pictoral form, after all, you already did some of that here!

This massive thread is pure inspiration to many, a book, electronic or printed, with all the characters and their/your world fleshed out and storied to..

That is an excellent idea. I have a Cartographer Snail fro Black Sword waiting to be painted & a couple of 3D printed slugs that Matakishi sent me.
I think I saw snail shell at Michael's that might work for making some of my own versions. Thanks, Fram.

Another place to look are books or websites about Hawaiian snails, which prey on tree fungus.

It can be a bit depressing as many of their varieties are facing extinction due to introduced predators, but they usually have very beautiful shells in all sorts of colours and patterns, even full rainbow palettes.

I checked out Hobby Lobby. They have quite an assortment of shells that might work.
The O'ahu tree snails are beautiful:

This past weekend, in addition to doing sixty or seventy small(er) mushrooms, I dismantled The Blight board; re, it was not going to get done as it stood & had limited photographic uses. SO I now have a bunch of buildings that will be rebased & repurposed. The two pretty much finished ones are getting new bases right away:
(https://2img.net/h/i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7593.jpg)

(https://2img.net/h/i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7598.jpg)

(https://2img.net/h/i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7595.jpg)

It has some interior detailing:
(https://2img.net/h/i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7596.jpg)

AND occupants:

Thanks, Fram. The Trio are from Reaper. It was a little fiddly getting them free of their cast n bases, but, otherwise, they were fun to paint.

Doing the three dimensional faces has become one of my things. I am glad you like them, Bloggard.

AND the Dwarves have gotten some paint:

One of the fellows on the Reaper Forum mentioned the arms I sometimes add to the Mushrooms...he thought there should be more of them. The ones I use are the bare arms from the plastic G.W. Zombies & Ghouls. The numbers I have are rather limited. THEN it occurred to me that I could make my own arms & add the G.W. hands...making hand is one of those things I am working on. The results:

The latest addition is the Freebie Troll from Reaper. He is in their new Bones Black placyis, which is gray & resembles G.W's plastic. Not being one to leave well enough alone, I decided to mushroom him up a la G.W's Mollog:

Thanks, LordOdo! I am glad you like him. I got mine as a freebie promoting Reaper's Bone Black plastic...it bears a resemblance to G.W. gray plastic.
On orders of $40 you get one free for the month of February...multiples of $40 get extra ones. I think it is available for sale at $8.95.

With a Mushroom(s) Sampler sent off, & the Troll finished, I started back on the Mushroom box Thursday. By last night the last of them was based & primed.
Two more got arms:

Thanks for the reply, von Lucky. When I moved down to Texas from Long Island (NY), I was pretty sure I didn't have much time left; just enough for one last project...The Last Hurrah.
It seems I was wrong about the time, but concentrating on that one last hurrah for all the things I have come to love in miniatures has produced all those pages. I am happy so many of
you have enjoyed the trip thus far & have gotten a touch of motivation from it all. I will keep following my heart for so long as it continues to beat.

Thanks for the kind reply, Fram. I am happy you like him & his color scheme...Mushrooms are a scheming bunch.
I delayed replying while the photos loaded up. Two more Mushrooms have joined the party in The Box:

I don't know... I always thought you were Scandinavian for some reason... And if not that, definitely not from either Texas or Long Island, haha.

Those Bad Moon shrooms kind of remind me of Jesters too. Jestershrooms. :)

The expressions just seem to happen. I have a feeling for the Mushroom, Tree, or whatever I am sculpting & the face flows from the feeling if that makes any sense.
Thanks for the continued support, Dinos. It is appreciated.

My Grandpa's grandfather came from Oldenburg; that is almost Swedish. I've been living in Texas for the last nine years. Folks here can still tell I came from somewhere else.  Folks on Long Island though I was a Californian. I might actually be from another dimension.

They do look like Jester's Caps. I think I will do the other two with that idea in mind. Thanks for the reply, Daniel.

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. The ten Mushrooms that I have finished thus far are the small to medium ones. The remaining eleven are larger &, to a degree. more complex.
I have one with a vulture perched on his head underway, & a trio of similar Vulture-less ones trailing along behind.

Today I got an order from Hobby Lobby. It includes a horde of Snail Shells for the Homegrown Snails that Fram suggested:

Thank you for the kind reply, Thew1. I am glad you like them.
I am getting psyched on doing Snails now also. I picked up the Dark Sword Snail Cartographer a month or two ago. I will use him as inspiration for my own attempts. The small shells will be perfect for more normal sized snails. Obsessions can be FUN.

Later the same day, I had a little tendril of hot glue that I was going to treat as a root behind one of the Mushroom Trio I was working on. Then I thought more tendrils/tentacles might look cool or creepy. SO:

The Empire Militia blunderbuss is a favorite with me also. The double barreled gun that Bwana is toting is an extra gun & arms from the Heresy Dwarf.

Post by: DeafNala on March 31, 2019, 06:17:05 PM
This may well be the Year of the Goblin for me. Friday I was marauding my way through The Vault & came upon a box of Goblins of various kinds & some Ogres converted after a fashion & based. They had some potential. SO I figured the would do nicely for a start.
The first one was a beat up old Dragon Rune Goblin Shaman. He got a new staff & base:(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7946.jpg)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7947.jpg)

His base got some mushrooms & moss, AND I started rebasing a group of Night Goblin converted pikes, Heroes along with the crew of an OLD G.W. organ gun. They all got some extended shoe treatment along with some rope belts where needed:

Thanks for the kind reply, Dinos. It always seems to get back to the Goblins. The perennial underdogs have a permanent place in my heart.
With life returning to The World, the Spring seems like the proper time for a year to start. We will see how this goes from here.

Things are slowly coming along:

This Merry Little Fellow is the prototype for the pikes:
(https://oi762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN7981.jpg)

The Mushroom is done & the Shaman is coming along:

My wife commented that the Little Brown Mushrooms (as seen on the shaman's shoulder) are traditionally either the tastiest or the deadliest, and not knowing the small differences which distinguish various species of "LBMs" is obviously quite dangerous!

From what little I have picked up in checking out different mushrooms for modeling, sampling wild mushrooms is an incredibly dangerous thing to do.
If you consider that the tasty brown mushrooms growing on the Shaman's shoulder are now sporting glowing yellow spots, chances are you might have
second thoughts about giving them a try...the Shaman also discourages nibbling on his growths.
I have the base for the Shaman & friends underway...looks good so far.

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. I delayed posting so I could include some pics from today's activity.
Today the Shaman got a bit more colorful & his base is made:

A better look at the base:

The Shaman will be mounted where the head pin now is. The pale grey areas are plumber's epoxy putty:

The eye/bead is in a roiling bit of green stuff:

One advantage to slow progress is that I can't put up pics that are more W.I.P. than I would tend to do if moving along like the hammers of Hell...sounds good anyway.

Well, the Shaman seems ready to teach us all the knowledge he has gathered about this so strange species of life, called mushroom...
Some biologists say that fungi should not belong to the flora but should have a completely separate position in the tree of life!
And they say that their DNA is more closely related in DNA to humans than to plants!
Eagerly waiting for more pics!

There are some truly lovely mushrooms. They are a unique life form.
I seem to have survived the dentist's appointment. SO I will take some photos tonight or early tomorrow in a proper setting. I think I
 will do a group shot with the Mushroom Wizard & Troll as well. The Group Portraits are always more impressive than the individual pics.
Thanks for the continued support, Dinos!

For reasons unknown to all but The Camera of Continual Contrariness all attempts at individual photos of the Mystic Mushroom Shaman proved to be futile. The Group Photos, however, were rather nice. SO, going with the flow, here is the Shaman & Associates...starting with the long view of the subject in the Cavern Gray Scale near the Pit of The Hungry Eye:
(https://oi762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN8032.jpg?t=1555016692)

The staring into space idea didn't pan out. SO I started working on the Night Goblins' eyes. If I do them just right, they will all look like little Marty Feldmans.

I always like your group photos, and the Shaman is a centerpiece!
It is a sculpt with so many details and you added more with the mushrooms and all, and always your bases are telling a story!
I think your best of this set of photos are the two of the Shaman alongside the Troll, which I consider one of your most inspired works!
Shaman, Troll and Goblins, you managed to blend them together so well and the bonding agent is the presence of mushrooms, of course!
Cheers!

Thanks, Dinos. I am delighted you like the Group Pics.  I think the Little Hooligans look their best in groups also.
Much as with your lovely 18th century miniatures, I think I have found my niche with the twisted faerie tales, goblins, the personable Mushrooms, & Trees.
Presenting them in groups maximizes their appeal.

Lovely sculpted face that adds a sense of whimsy. Thanks for sharing. I love the best of burden goblin's expression as well!

Thanks for the kind reply, Gallahad. I am happy you like the faces. Not much got done the last couple of days, but I have high hope for the rest of the week.

A few more Goblin Lads got finished yesterday. Here are some truly mediocre photos to give you an idea what they look like...kind of:

The merry, somewhat insane expressions of the old G.W. Goblins is the thing that I love about them. I am happy you like their expressions also.
My own faces have become a trademark of sorts. Thanks for the reply, Dinos.

Gander O'Peek  :D

...ANDhis company/gang: Peek's Pikes.
I got the idea for my Goblin names from something Gav Thorpe wrote about G.W's then new Beastmen. He said he thought of the Beastmen as ancient Germans & Orcs were Scots.
WELL...if the Orcs are Scots, then Goblins must be Irish. I try to make their names sound disreputable as well as Gaelic.

I got a package from Glitterwolf (Reaper Forum). One of the things he sent grabbed my attention & got a start. It is a SteamPunk Snail:

I like the pike guys! Their expression is really in the middle of being merry and trying to frighten their foes...
And I also like the banner, depicting night with the motto "Carpe Diem", I think that you created deliberately this contradiction, besides I know that it is one of your favorite mottos!
The SteamPunk Snail is a diversion, indeed! Very interesting concept to sculpt and its smokestack seems rather than a snail-mounted observatory to me  :)
It will blend nicely with the mushrooms, for sure!

Thanks for the ongoing support, Dinos. I am happy you are enjoying the developments.
The flag is done in a similar way to my other Goblin banners; a contradiction between the low intellect that is attributed to Goblin kind & the perceived intelligence Latin expressions would imply. The night sky/mountains fit with the Night Goblin persona.
I think the Snail will go well with the Mushrooms also. What purpose, if any, he serves is as yet a mystery.

Looking forward to that snail being painted up. Lovely.

...me too. Thanks for the reply, von Lucky.
The Snail by the way is made by Raccoon Miniatures: MIZ&PIG 23.

Amazing as always Al.

Thanks, Rob. I am glad you like the thingies.
Most all of the stuff winds up stored away due to lack of display area & an equal lack of Folks who will see them. Some is given away. Before Easter I gave some of the Mushrooms to the girls at the bank & a fellow at Jersey Giant Pizza. Giving the stuff away is my preference.

Thanks, Fram. I am glad you like the Little Hooligans. I usually come up with names for my characters, but over the past few years I have found I couldn't remember them. SO I am starting to make the names part of the bases, something I haven't done in years. The derogatory adjectives for first names & Irish sounding last names are something Gav Thorpe inspired & that I have expanded on...I am glad you like that as well.

That is a new miniature for me...I haven't checked the G.W, thread...I didn't know we had one either. I have been admiring some of their new Goblins. I even cracked & bought a few. The bases do look like something I would make...the infested characters are also look a likes. Mine are older & I don't sell them; SO their I.P. Gestapo can bugger off.

I am making this The Year of The Goblin. There will, hopefully, be a lot more Goblins popping up here.

Thanks, Fram. I am happy you like the brushwork.
Years ago, I was doing the Arts & Craft Shows selling my handicraft. Some one commented that one of my miniatures was a wonderful sculpt. I told the girl that it was a commercially made miniature & I didn't sculpt it. She replied: "Oh you just painted it." I told "I just painted it" & she went away.

That's true! One more great vignette of yours, and the running-through-the-woods pictures are so evocative! Especially the first! Cheers!

Thanks, beefcake. I am rather looking forward to completion as well; re, there are a lot of cool things backing up behind these pieces.
The need to eat & sleep are getting to be an interference.

That is a possibility. I have had a few 404 Errors. I think, though, it might be a problem with the forum's server.

Over the weekend I started assembling my G.W. Gobbapalooza boxed Goblin Loonies. The minis are insanely detailed/cluttered pieces; truly inspiring:

I am still at that stage in my painting that the outcome of any miniature is still in doubt...it adds to the excitement. SO I am looking forward to the developments too.
The level of detail is real extraordinary. The are little snails & mushroom-men roaming around the Goblins. They will be a challenge as well as an inspiration.

I had that problem when I was using Cap'n John's AT&T satellite connection. Afternoons & early evening were painfully slow when working at all. Weekends & holidays, the damn thing was useless unless very early in the day. Now I use cable with a modem. It's a little more expensive but very reliable.
That aside I am happy you like The Snail. I am mulling over a possible base for the Beasty. Thanks for the reply & the perseverance, djbii.

SO...the new PC is up & running without any of the problems/angst I was associating with the change. AND I had some photos all set for uploading to test the Beasty out. Squig style critters are a necessity for Goblins. I do have some G.W. ones painted & unpainted that will show up eventually, but I thought I'd do up a custom Gigunda Squiggle...

Thanks for the reply, beefcake. There is a pic of Himself with some Reaper Goblins & the Gobbapolooza Gang above for an idea. He is on a +3.5" base & is just about 5" tall from the bottom of the base to the top oh his cap.
A few Fellows offered to make castings, but nothing ever came of it. I rather like the idea that everything is one of a kind.

I feel like the cap (and the button mushrooms on it) could use some dots. It's such a big space.

I feel like the cap (and the button mushrooms on it) could use some dots. It's such a big space.

I think that counts as a "Homeric nod". I had intended to do some lighter spots on the upper section of the cap, but it didn't just slip my mind. I actually thought I had done it. Looks like some more painting & pics are in store for the Big Guy.

It was pointed out by one Fram Framson that it needed spots. I thought I had done them...yet another sign of imminent senility. SO the Beasty now has spots:

Things have been coming along slowly. I did some base painting:

The Ogre on the left was started & left with Peek's Pikes. He got a new base, a Beasty, & theGoblins got shoe extensions:

Thanks, Dinos. I am glad you like the new stuff. The Domino's delivery car was found deserted on the side of the road. Foul play seems afoot.

Meanwhile the Big Nomadic Mushroom has been based & base coated, ready for some color. His cap got some embellishments as well:

The Blight seems to betting more attention than the miniatures; re, carving the paving stones requires less concentration. The place

While they will probably never see a game, they will make fine backgrounds for urban photos...at least I hope so.

Thanks, Dinos, I am happy you enjoy the place. It is one of those things that never seems to get old & never ceases to inspire new ideas.
Doing some cavern like underground catacomb/sewer areas as separate photo stages might be something to explore as well...I saw some things I might try on C.M.o.N..

The Wanted Posters will start appearing soon also...then the revelers from the Eternal Block Party.
I sent you a link to the Blight W.I.P. thread in my Google's Albums, Dinos, so you can keep up with the developments.

I've seen it a few minutes ago, thanks so much!
It is so inspiring!

Get a kinked kick
Feel a twisty twist
No direct light
Yet, nope, it’s bright
Grungy and cracked
And grumpy all right
Pass the crooked door
Watch the spirit’s eye
Mirror your horror
At the neighbourhood of Blight!

I would never have thought my strange creations would inspire poetry other than a limerick that is.
The thing with the Blight is that no matter how bizarre the place gets none of the inhabitants seems to notice.

Thanks, Fram. I am happy you like The Bight as well. Having an Urban stage means I can start doing the Tinker's Guild (Wrath of Kings with some Privateer Press Minions), Rat Catchers, & the Eternal Block Party stuff along  with all those Goblins, Faeries, & such.
I don't think I will be running out of things to do for awhile.

The Mushrooms, especially these four, do have an Alien appearance...insert spooky B SciFi movie music here...they came from the Planet Mongo!
Thanks for the reply, Dinos. I am looking forward to the painting as well.

There is a certain feeling of release/relief in finally finishing a log time in-the-works piece. It makes procrastination worthwhile.
I am happy you like the results, Dinos. Thanks for the reply.

It's the year of the Goblin, so eager to see your Reapers coming out!
As it concerns your photo staged pictures, no need to repeat myself, everything photographed in your Woods is FANTASTIC!
I like especially the group photos, a kaleidoscope of colors and a group of so weird creatures, GREAT!
The Mushroom Troll, the Beasty, The Shaman, all the band, they are lovely!
Your Year of the Goblin, I have the feeling, will be proved very fruitful! Cheers!

Thank you for the kind reply, Dinos. I am delighted you like the stuff.
I also am a fan of group photos. It's one of the reasons I love your 18th Century Battle Reports.
I am trying to turn as many unpainted miniatures as possible into finished piece. All in all not a bad start.
I have a few different Goblin types by Reaper & some by other companies that will, hopefully, get attention.

They are great models...strange but great nonetheless. I am happy you like my take on the Beasty.

The next Group of Goblins are Henchmen of a Witch. This is a fairly normal thing in these parts of The Woods. The Witch & her Goblins are from Dark Sword's DiTerlizzi Masterworks.
The Witch reminds me of my late Mother in Law, a truly wonderful Lady:

Thanks for the reply, Fram. They are inspiring little creations.

Lovely new additions, as always, Amigo!
 :-* :-*

I am really digging those long tufts that you are using and will have to get hold of something similar for a new terrain project that I have planned.
 :D



(P.S. Sorry for not commenting for a while but I have been having trouble seeing your pictures. I am guessing it is something to do my interwebby goblins as no-one else has mentioned it. The gremlins appear to have left the premises now as I can see everything just fine, if a little slow to appear).

Thanks for the reply, Paul. I am happy you like the new stuff.
I can't find fault with not posting replies; re, I rarely manage to comment outside my own thread.
Some one else mentioned that it was taking a long time for the pics to show up. AND I, quite often, get a 504 or 404 errors loading the photos. When I check later they are up & visible, but the errors still occurred. SO it might be a Forum problem with large numbers of pics posted/viewed all at once.

Thanks, Dinos. I am delighted you like the face. I have been using a pair of magnifying glasses (Eyejusters) I got from MicroMark. They really seem to help with the details.
The new minis seem to have had a positive influence on my imagination. The settings suggest themselves as I work on the minis...AND they keep coming & getting more interesting.

In this case, the Deep Sea Critter is flying around topside...he may be peopling (as opposed to fishing).

G.W. gets the credit for the third eye along with the extra set of legs...I am starting to think of Spike as Crazy Legs.
The Goblin Sculptors at G.W. are pleasantly imaginative & decidedly nuts...at least, lately.

What's in a name? I was starting to think of Spike as Crazy Legs. Then our Fram asked if the third I was something extra that I had added to the mini...it is a G.W. embellishment. That started the wheels spinning, The Hindu Folks I have had the pleasure of meeting have a dot/black spot over & between their eyes, It is their third eye to God. SO I looked up the translation of "crazy legs" to Hindi = paagal pair. ERGO Spike is now Paagal Pair The Potion Peddler:

G.W. has done some wonderfully imaginative work with their new Goblin Folk. There are also some charming little mushroom & accessory pieces included that will find their way on to some of my bases.

The new G.W. plastic Goblins have been a joy to paint. The way they assemble gives a fine definition to the pieces which makes the brushwork a snap.

I spotted the Fungal Queen when I was gathering a Reaper order for Cap'n John. She looked elegant & I hoped she wouldn't be too tall. I picked up a Stone Lurker (Storoper) for the Cavern while I was at it:

Thanks, Dinos! I have hopes for the Girl & the Beasty.
Meanwhile the last of the Gobbapalooza Mob is nearing completion. That will mean YET MORE photos!

An update! One which brings much in the way of anticipation!

Or maybe that's just the effect of the spores...  ;D

The fifth & final member of the Gobbapalooza Mob, The 'Shroomancer (for now), has gotten some color:

Thanks for the ongoing support, Dinos. I am delighted you like him/them/whatever.
Arcane Eddy's head is an old G.W. plastic Night Goblin's head. I liked it better that the one that came with the kit. Eddy's name is a take of on Eddie Arcaro, the(GREAT) jockey.
This boxed set of loonies was a joy to assemble (great instructions) & paint. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. For pure entertainment value, it was worth the price.

I was just checking when I first posted in the works photos of The Mob. I was toward the beginning of May. SO along with several other distractions, I got nearly four months of enjoyment from the Little Rogues...not a bad return for the bucks.
All that aside, thanks for the reply, Fram. I am happy you like them. They do have that "explosion at The Paint Factory" look to them.

Thanks for the reply, Fram...glad you like them. That is my favorite of the Two Faced Mushrooms as well. The one on the far left reminds me of Buster Keaton.

Conversations with the multiple personality Mushrooms has comic possibilities...like the Door Knockers in Labyrinth.

Thanks, Dinos. They probably will get tentacles, but more passively placed. The Reaper one is actually a D&D Roper whose name has been change to avoid copyright restrictions & the dread Intellectual Property Gestapo.

...I found it next to the Paisley paint.
If I was trying to do Buster, it wouldn't have looked anything like him. The resemblance occurred to me after the fact.
An erstwhile friend's Dad's nickname was Keat because of his resemblance to B.K.. His Mom was surprised I knew who Buster Keaton was.

Been awful quiet lately - what've you got brewing, Al? Hope the mushrooms didn't get you!

SO back on Friday the Sixth I went to Emergency with an infected left big toe. It prove to very a very serious Staph infection.
They had to amputate the toe, After some complications, they let me come home today. The Old Man isn't dead...yet!

It could have been worse. I am very happy/grateful things turned out this well. Thanks for the kind wishes, Fram.

 I have missed your thread the last few days due to workload and sadly had not noticed the lack of posts.

Very glad things were not worse, and hope that  you make a speedy recovery so we can continue to enjoy whatever your imagination and skilled hands come up with.

Thank you all for the kind thoughts, Guys! I have always believed that good things come from unfortunate occurrences. SO I am going to see what pleasantness arises.

Thanks for the good wishes, warlord frod. I dropped $520 on meds yesterday. It is helping me resist buying more minis though.

It may not be noticeable in the photos, but the Old Girl has an extra left leg. This somehow seems appropriate.

That face swap works so well! So much more personality in that combination of face and body than just generic "angry, shouty king". Looks to me like you now have an older goblin who seems burdened by the chains of his office.

Thanks, Fram. I am delighted you like the face swap...that is one of my favorite Goblin personalities. He does have a World weary look to him.
I was afraid for awhile that my assembly abilities had doomed the mini. The conversion seems to have added a saving touch to the piece.

Have to totally agree, that face swap is ace  :o
Looks like a mature and experienced goblin, worth to be Mayor of the City.

Well done, Al.

Thanks, Tobias. I am happy you like the change of face. The mini looks old & weary I tried for a face to match.

Wow! I prefer your version much more. The downcast face and the hunch work sooo well! I reckon GW should take a leaf out of your book here!

Thanks, Dinos, That Night Goblin face is a favorite. He adds a downcast touch of reality to the general silliness of the race.

This one of those times when my poor assembly abilities proved to be a blessing.
Thanks for the reply, beefcake. I am happy you like him.

He had been a metal ball swinging, drug crazed Fanatic. I think he is more appealing just being drug crazed or drunk.
I figure the Mycologists give him the mushroom potions to test their effects. He thinks it's a party.
Thanks for the reply, Dinos.

I hope and wish that all your well known energy comes back and soon we will see you performing full throttle!
Cheers!

Thanks for the good wishes, Dinos.
I have four more of the big, personable Mushrooms made & ready for the Kneadotite/Green Stuff. This batch has three of the two faced variety.
The Storopers/Stone Lurkers are getting some tentacle attention as well.

This is one of the most full mushroom boxes of yours we have seen!
And what a variety!
It is astonishing that whatever project you start, you have always the mood and stamina to produce some more mushrooms!
And, of course, it is our joy to see in what magical way you make them blend together to produce a coherent series of artwork!
This is why I call it the Everlasting Hurrah Project! Cheers!

There does seem to be no end to the Mushrooms & other strange silliness that I can come up with. It is a blessing. I would hate to think of a life without creating things.

I took a photo and posted it to him with the remark:

Once it is painted, I think it will be easier to get a photo. It does give an eerie touch to the piece & rewards the viewer for a careful look.

Thanks for the reply & the support, Dinos, both are appreciated.
I have hopes for the Snail...& maybe a few more mushrooms for the base.
The Goblins in the Box are mostly GameZone pieces. There are some really nuts characters in the mix.

I paint the putty with thinned tacky glue; then I sprinkle on the sand; & shake off the excess.
The sand is from a craft store (Michael's). They a have a variety of grits & colors.

Post by: DeafNala on November 19, 2019, 11:42:46 PM
SO yesterday I had a need to do up another Tree base. This is where it was when my bed started calling to me:
(https://oi762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN8794.jpg)

(https://oi762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN8795.jpg)

This morning I finished twisting the wire branches, AND did the teased hot glue treatment to the branches:
(https://oi762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN8796.jpg)

(https://oi762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN8801.jpg)

Finally I did the green stuff face & the air dry clay bark:
(https://oi762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN8802.jpg)

(https://oi762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN8803.jpg)

(https://oi762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/2019%20Random%20Photos/DSCN8806.jpg)

Tomorrow he will get a Workable Fixative spray to seal the clay. Then it is on to the details. What miniature or miniatures to appear on the base is yet to be decided...silly is guaranteed.

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the Trees. I think the second one is more personable. Th first one is more woodsy.
To a certain extent the unique personalities are the product of a finely tuned lack of planning.

Hey, Nala, put it all together in a drink shaker and roll some dice! Let the bones fall where they may and and make some stories and maps! After 450 awesome pages, you've got the greatest ingredients!

Thanks, Dinos, I am happy you like the faces. I had enter a nice long response with lots of pictures. The Forum couldn't handle it & it all disappeared.
I'll do it in stages if there is an interest.
I have been making faces with leftover putty for quite some time. Now I am doing some with the idea of making mural style pieces. Her are a couple of examples:

I probably could do a tutorial. Green Stuff take hours to dry...plenty of time for photos.

Thanks, Mister Frau Blucher! I am glad you like the piece. The moral boost is appreciated.
The Spooky Woods stage has been my main photo background. It is a little too small for groups or large minis.
The Mushroom Forest is even smaller, but it was the first & still is good for an alternate setting.
The still to be painted Twisted Tower give a nice monochromatic atmosphere for what the Woods can't accommodate.
I would like to do some more settings...when I work up the energy.

...AND I do have dreams of painting & crafting stuff.
Thanks for the reply, von Lucky. I am happy you like the new thingies.

I am delighted you feel that way, Fram! I am hoping to get up to (warp) speed soon.

Lots of character in those faces! Especially keen to see the big one in the top middle painted up!

Thanks, Mister Frau Blucher! I am looking forward to painting both of the center Faces.
I started four more Faces last night, but thus far today a trio into distant Bee Cave has drain most of my time & energy.

Nice, the inspiration fits right in with your work, and its great artwork and imagination there from them to.

My sister loved that movie when she was young, endlessly watching the video tape until it wore out.

Glad sleep is helping getting your into doing more great stuff - its underrated - I would like more but my work seems to be trying to prevent it!

Here's to your energy levels getting back up to doing more  :)

Thanks for the kind reply, Tactalvanic! I am happy you are enjoying the stuff.
Sisters tend to be Labyrinth Fans; e.g, Doc Williams' sister is a fan. I gave her my Jareth & Hoggle minis & she went nuts.
The energy is slowly returning. I still get short of breath, but I have noted an increase in my feistiness level.

It is time to start getting caught up...I suppose.

Those Bad Stalagmites are wonderfull, I think I may just have to do something similar for my 15mm cavern tile project.

Also that wall of faces would make an awesome cover for a wizards spellbook!

Initially this was going to be a couple of Merry Mushrooms, a pair of Evil Stalagmites, AND a Goblin Wizard. The Goblin was ousted & a Merry Mushroom added,

I like the color palette for your stalagmites, they came out nice!
And the bold colors of the mushroom make a great contrast, plus the grass in the middle!
Of course, the biggest clue of your vignettes is that one must carefully look at them from all sides, you keep some little surprise hidden here and there  ;)
So, thank you for sharing this pictures showing your work from multiple angles, it was worth it! Cheers!

To my mind...such as it is, a successful vignette/diorama should reward the viewer with some previously unnoticed detail with each visit.

Stump Man II now is base coated & ready for some color. I still have to decide on a miniature to go with him. Enigma's Horug & Sniff is a possible. OR  he might be a solo. Anyway here is how he looks at the moment:

I humbly insist  :) that he can stand solo. Some times the empty space is information  ;) or you may add some grass or baby mushrooms.
If you put some figure, it might be shorter than the height of his mouth, or else it would steal of his awesomeness!
Especially if this figure is bulky and beautiful, it would turn your Stump Man to a background actor.

The Trees & Mushrooms make splendid backgrounds for the miniature AND together they weave enchanting tales.
I doubt I am up to gaming anymore; re, rules put me to sleep. It would, however, be nice to have the Beasties involve in someone's games. I do believe it is the inherent right of all Toy Soldiers to be played with.

Oh, I love the colour palette you went with for the face! Maybe it's because of, rather than in spite of, the fact that they're not tree tones at all.

Thanks, Fram. I am glad you like it.
I worked up the facial colors using the two lighter wood shades & a dark red (Cranberry Wine). The rationale was it gave the impression of a more blood like sap flowing through the Beasty...or something like that.

Yes, it blends very well, and the teeth tie it all back to the trunk colours too.

I am happy you like it. It has worked out so far.
I have quite a nice mix of minis, Mushrooms, & Trees in the works. The next Tree is just about done with the surrounding Mushroom of various kinds left to do.

Awesome, vivid stuff as always, Nala!

The roper/bad stalagmites are very cool. I like your sculpted version better than the Reaper models.

Stump-men are great, particularly the second. I agree that the open space is nice for a mini-stage for a smaller model.

Always inspiring to see your beautiful work!

Thanks for the kind reply, Mister Frau Blucher. I am happy you liked the stuff. A positive reaction to all the bright colors is always welcome.
I just did the spray finish on yet another Tree/Mushroom combo. I just need to do a dry brush on the grass & they are done...then pics.

Thanks for the reply, sundayhero. His expression seems to be saying "something just crawled into my mouth."

The Mushroom does look like he just ate something unpleasant.

Thanks, Mister Frau Blucher. I am glad you like him.
Individually the they would fit fine on the Spooky Woods Stage; together it might get crowded. I will try it out in awhile.
If it is too crowded I will use the twisted Tower Stage. I might do a group photo of ALL the Tree Guys I have kicking around if I use the Tower Stage.

 In the meanwhile, I added a Rat to the Tree Man's base:

Thirteen pics and they are not enough  :) to show all the detail you've put to these new items!
And the Twisted Towers background is one of your best!

Thanks, Fram. I am glad you like the Rat. I was hoping he would work with the Tree.

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy/relieved that you like the pics. I never am completely satisfied with the quality of my photos.
I tried out my new photo table (my old painting table). It seems to do the job.
I have been posting the photos from my Google Albums rather than PhotoBucket. They load up much quicker.

Wow, the gang of treemen look great together!

Twisted Towers is a wonderful stage - I haven't seen it before, so that tells me there are still some significant chunks of this thread I have yet to explore...

The rat is cool!

Thanks for the reply, Bret...the morale boost is appreciated. I am still planning to paint the Twisted Tower, but it has worked out well in black & white.

Stunningly good work sir, resplendent with all the usual charm and character your pieces come with and nothing wrong with your photography,

it lets us see your work !

Thanks for the kind reply, Tactalvanic. I am happy you enjoy the stuff...especially the photos. Without this Forum & a couple others I post in, my little horrors would go unseen.

Thanks, Fram. I am glad you like them. The central one has been dubbed the creepiest by a few folks..I think it's the eyes & the grin that do it.

Thanks, Dinos, I am glad you like them as well.
 I don't actually plan the expressions. They just suggest themselves as I am working the green stuff.

Post by: DeafNala on January 31, 2020, 06:57:34 PM
SO I had occasion to take a photo for the Reaper forum of a Grenadier/Mirliton Shire Dragon. This got me to thinking about the piece. It is a delightfully silly Dragon, but it had these bands around his neck that I didn't care for. That got me to thinking of the Worm (Dragons are called worms or wyrms) from Labyrinth:

...the scarf in particular is what I was thinking of. It looked more appropriate than the bands/collar; ergo, he now has a scarf:

I figure I will be able to stay out of Old Folks Home simply because they don't like my kind...whatever kind I am.
It counts as a major success if I get a laugh out of a piece. Thanks, Fram. You made my day!

That shire dragon is a very nice mini, the scarf suits him.
Give him a pince nez and a cup of tea and he could be a kindly professor teaching at the collegium arcanum. ;)
I look forward to seeing some color on him.

Cheers,
Stroezie.

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like the scarf. I was pleasantly surprised it turned out this well.
Things really are cooking along...at least, with the crafting.

Indeed. But do dragons ever say 'ello?

I could imagine him with a Cockney accent. In fact, that is now how I think of him...I might have to name him Bertie ir some such thing.
Thanks for the reply, Lucky...I like where this is going.

Thanks for the reply, Stroezie! Teacup & pince-nez would look good; maybe a bit beyond me, but good. I was thinking of fingerless gloves & a banjo, which is also beyond me.
I am looking forward to seeing him in color too. Right now I haven't a clue what colors I will use.

Man, I snooze a day or two and then miss all kinds of crazy magic in this thread.

The scarf definitely gives the dragon a little more personality. Can't wait to see the colors on the dragon and how the scarf will contrast.

Ambling Mushroom Dude is cool, too. The layout of the base is dynamic; looking forward to the painting!

Thanks, Mister Frau Blucher. Sleeping is the key. I have trouble sleeping; SO I make/paint all these crazy things.
I am glad you like the stuff. I can't wait until it is ALL done.

I still have his club, the Frog Prince, & the foreground Mushroom to do, but it is getting there.

I love the way you use vibrant colors, the way they contrast. They compliment each other, rather than clash. This troll is a perfect example. Very vivid, looking forward to it being finished!

Fear not I will get carried away with the photo...as always.
The Troll & his club are done. I have the foreground Mushroom close to completion with just some highlighting & a pair of skulls. The Frog Prince is yet to be started.

Thanks, Tobias. I am glad you like the new stuff. 
I am building up to doing the Dragon & the Goblin Bandit Chief you sent me. The Dragon is a matter of dreaming up a color scheme, while the Goblin is getting used to doing a myriad of tiny details.
The Mushrooms are a sheer joy to do...probably explains why there are SO many of them....probably.

He sure does. Before I broke down & forked out the money for him, he inspired a conversion of a Reaper Stone Troll.

I should have guessed that you would be the one to cram them all on one base.
They look great!

I have this set and the little critturs are all due to go on the Menu for Palaeo Diet at some point, the big fella joins my OGAM Norse Trolls (without the 'shrooms!).
Great piccies for inspiration.

Thanks for the kind reply, Paul. I am happy you like the Gang...I do tend to complicate matters.
Be sure to save the mushrooms you clip off the Troll,; re, they will make excellent scenic touches.

Thanks, Tobias. I am happy you like the piece...it is a relief having it done & nicely accepted.
The Frog does not appear too thrilled with his situation...as Kermit said: "it isn't easy being green or blue, in this case.

LoL Greyscale Cavern indeed, but it is watching intently. Is it murder I see in the cavern's beady eyes?

...the idea was for a monotone setting with a couple of color splashes; i.e., the mold, stalagmites, &, of course the Eyes.
The Eyes may or may not be homicidal, but they sure do add an eerie feel to the place. Thanks for the reply, scatterbrains.

If you can play Ease on Down the Road from the Wiz through your head while looking at the Mushrooms, it sets the scene nicely.

I never did keep a count of the Mushrooms. It never occurred to me that I would make SO many.
Quite a lot of them have been given away. Those that remain are kept in cardboard boxes awaiting their fate, which might now mean get displayed & sold at a local art store...maybe. They are still getting posted on Tom's.

No  need to keep count, just keeping making them and mixing in all your other works, oddities and imaginings.

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like them.
Since gaming with them is highly unlikely, I thought they would be good stages for photos. I have the Eternal Block Party in mind AND  the return of the Blessed Order of The Gooey Death.
More individual photos of the buildings should happen over the weekend.

I think they will be interesting backdrop pieces.

The base coat, in addition to making it easier to  see & paint, make using various quick adhere glues possible.
The Observatory is a plastic dome & base that used to contain some vending machine novelty. The telescope is plastic tubing. I added some watch parts for a steam punk effect. I will probably be doing another sometime soon. I will do step by step pics when I do.

Glad to see a return to your urban setting! Not that I was tired of shrooming, but it is good to have a change of pace. I really like where you are going with the Blight photo stage. Your creativity and re-purposing (like the vending machine trinket container) are really inspiring. Can't wait to see the forthcoming colors! I am guessing, by the black and white priming, they will be a bit more subdued than your more recent painting!

Thanks for the reply, Mister Frau Blucher. Thus far I have been enjoying the Blight build. It is satisfyingly messy.
The painting will probably just slightly less bright than the Faerie Folk lands. Subdued isn't something I am capable of.
I do the white on black base coat for everything.

Looks great already! Let's see what color composition you come up with this time!

Thanks, scatterbrains! Today I hope to do the roof tiles, &, perhaps, start on the doors & windows.

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. The buildings progress slowly enough that it seems like a step by step...well actually it is if unintentional.
I am happy you are enjoying the process.

Thanks for the reply, Mister Frau Blucher! I am glad you are enjoying the process. Leaving it in black & white is tempting.
Late last night I did the balconies. Today I will work on the doors & window. Then come the painting & detailing...the detailing in a never-ending thing. I am hoping to wrap it up over the weekend.

could not agree more!

AND scraping off the glue & paint from my fingers leaves lots of nasty little cuts. I leave my blood in everything I do...my Dad would approve.

The creative process just seems to necessitate some suffering to a greater or lesser extent. Child birth is a fine example.

Today I did the door & window frames AND made the remaining three doors. The windows will get the faces-lurking-behind-the-drapes effect, AND the one second from the right will receive a couple of shuttered/boarded up windows:

I must admit, recently having paid out for new doors front and back on our house, and damn they are expensive.

I must admit even if my better half would not approve.

I really wish the front door had a handle in the style of your model ones!

Where do you get them from, assuming they are some model ship or other thing/crank handles?

The backdrop is, as always, wonderfully atmospheric

I have had the rude awakening to the price of good quality storm doors as well. Cap'n John & I had them installed on the side & back of the house. We each put out a bit over $700 for them.
I made these doors out of balsa strips glued to a balsa form with styrene strips for the bracing, styrene rod for the hinges. head pin rivets (jewelry item), AND watch parts from Hobby Lobby (Micro Mark has the watch parts as well). The door rings are jewelry parts.
I am glad you like the stage thus far, Tactalvanic. Thanks for the reply.

Beautiful. Horrifying but beautiful ;)


Thanks, beefcake. I am happy you like like it.

AND today I finished carving & base coating the street, added a storm/sewer grate, & Faces in windows & doors plus an eye in the rat hole:

Part of my hobby was to construct old paper houses and dress them with photorealistic Photoshopped walls, so for a long time I was -among other things- collecting photos of old grungy walls. So, it is obvious that I can only express my admiration for this dilapidated house, the weathering you did and all the beautiful details! The faces are genius! And your color contrasts are eye-catching!
This construction contains a lot of energy! Cheers!

I like the double ones, each face having an entirely different expression, like tenants of the same flat, quarreling how to share heating and electricity bills  ;)

How nice to see all the Blight buildings in array! From a distance one can admire the bold contrasts and the cracks on the walls pop!

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like the new Mushrooms & the Blight Block.
The two faced Mushrooms are fine story telling devices. There is something about the expressions that stimulate the imagination.

Now that you mention it, the way the Green Guy is looking up & the position of his arms do suggest a balancing act.

The size of the faces allows me to do blending that would be difficult on a smaller miniature.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the latest base.
The dark blue cap reminded me of the night sky; SO I went with the star field.
The busier I stay the happier I am. It is wonderful for combating depression.

Agreed, it really helps! Are you locked in like a lot of people because of the 'cervesa bug'?

I was inspired by some of the Pinterest photos to do the long, slender stem. There is something graceful & elegant about them that I was hoping to duplicate.
Thanks for the reply, Fram. I am glad you like them.

Thanks, Bret. I am happy you like the latest Mushrooms in the Woods/Swamp/Cavern/wherever.
When the thingies are done it does seem like I am knocking them out a good clip. While they are in the works it seems like it is taking FOREVER...I also probably have more hobby/craft time in a week than you do in a season. Just keep the interest going until you retire AND voila!

Amazing work!

hank you Karwick! I am glad you like The Stuff.

Thanks again for a kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the latest addition. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
We all have our strong points. Mine seems to be making each piece, even those miniatures that are exactly the same, look unique. Personality is my thing.
You would imagine that with all the bright colors I use that things would clash, but they seem to work together. I thing consistent base colors & having the pieces worked on in flow is the key

I am self-employed and in my 50s, so I will probably be able to retire mid-23rd Century. I hope my interest is still strong then!

I glossed over this detail the first time, but I just noticed the shining stars you put on the blue cap on that right hand shroom, making it look like a starry night. Always nice Easter eggs in your work, and why it is a joy to review again.

......... Mine seems to be making each piece, even those miniatures that are exactly the same, look unique. Personality is my thing.
You would imagine that with all the bright colors I use that things would clash, but they seem to work together. I thing consistent base colors & having the pieces worked on in flow is the key

That and the unique style you have, both in the sculpting and the painting.  You are creating a piece of art with your collection. I still hold out hope of seeing an assembly one day......and the book of course  ;)

Wonderful creations as always Al.

With me. I found myself on Social Security Disability shortly before I turned 55 then Retirement at 66. SO I have been able to do my craft more or less full time for quite awhile.
I am happy you enjoy my stuff, Mister Frau Blucher, Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the kind reply, robh. I am happy you like the stuff.
I am hoping to do a mass photo session of all the things that I did for The Year of The Goblin sometime over the next week. I will probably us the Twisted Tower Stage.
I have been spending more time painting than I normally would...no baseball. As I have been painting story lines have been playing through my head. I doubt this will ever lead to a book, but one never knows...do one?

A mass shoot of all my stuff on the terrain pieces that I have made would be quite a rewarding experience for me, &, hopefully, an enjoyable one for you. Actually doing it would be a challenge.
Thanks for the reply AND the idea, warlord frod! I am happy you enjoy my work.

Thanks Fram. I am glad you like him. It is quite a relief finally getting him done.

My goodness! It's gorgeous!  :-*
Well done!

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like him also.

He is about as big as a piece can be & still work with the Woods. I may have to paint the Twisted Tower base eventually. It does look okay in black & white; SO I have bee procrastinating.

The steam punk snail is lovely, as usual with your creations and colour schemes.

Looking forward to seeing that Dragon painted up as well  :-*

Thanks for the kind reply, Thew. I am happy you like my stuff AND took the time to say so.
I am working on the base for the Dragon & a few other miniatures. They look good so far...pics soon.

Steam Snail is awesome, particularly in the Spooky Woods! The exhaust is a perfect angle.

I remember that pond dragon figure. i like the base a lot. Are you going to have to come up with another stage so that the water on his (or her?) base blends in?  lol Inquiring minds want to know!

I do have a tendency to give my exhaust & chimney pipes jaunty angles...my telescopes as well.
I was thinking of doing photos of the Pond Dragon with the Witches' Isles or near the Goblin Shanty Town. The waters there are a bit too polluted though.

And if painted according to the Pinterest picture, he'll be a hit, for sure!

Thanks for the kind replies, Guys. I am happy you both like him.

Cheers!

I am undecided on the colors thus far, although I do like the colors of the Pinterest Mushroom.
I am glad you see the potential in the piece, Dinos.

I can see the excitement, beefcake. The Green Stuff also makes him look like a personable Pickle.

By the way, I missed posting photos of a little Mushroom Duet that I painted up a few days ago:

Thanks, Dinos. I think you read the expressions perfectly...the Leftover Lad does not look happy at all.

I agree that the additional clusters & tube mushrooms add to the natural creepiness of the piece.

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like him/them.
The Dragon has been put off as I have been dealing with my friend's, Cap'n John 's dementia.
The bases are pretty much done on both dragons & the Goblin Heroes. Hopefully the minis will see some paint soon.

Sorry to hear about the dementia. Dealt with it in humans and animals and it is tough.

I had that dragon back in the 80s a Grenadier Shire Dragon I think. I destroyed him with a combo of  thick grey car primer, glossy red Humbrol enamel paint and the most cack handed attempt at black lining you ever saw I'm sure yours will be loads better.

You got it right;i.e., it is Grenadier's Shire Dragon. It is now available from Mirliton. The Merry Fellow is one I missed when Grenadier was still in business. I do have hopes for him.
Thanks for the reply, Diablo Jon! The encouragement is appreciated.

Thanks for the kind reply, Brett. I am glad you like the colors. The FolkArt bottle is indeed tangerine. It's my intermediate yellow shade.

Thanks for the kind reply, Blackwolf. I am happy you like the colors. I often worry that I might have gotten a tad too bright/vivid/garish.
Funny thing with the bright colors is that I generally attribute my fondness for flashy colors to painting 18th & early 19th century historical war gaming miniatures in my misspent youth.

The Pinterest mushroom and the twins have already got their compliments.
Rowdy & Rags are characterful indeed, you managed excellent face expressions and I like their goblin flesh!
I think the whole group deserves to be photo staged at the well-known Woods!

Thanks for the kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you enjoyed the stuff. Doing a group photo shoot on the Twisted Tower base might be just the thing...thanks for the suggestion.

WELCOME HOME!...it is good to have you back, Christian!
I am delighted that you enjoyed my stuff...the morale boost is appreciated.

SO today I started painting the background for the First Faces on the Wall piece, AND I did two more Faces for the next piece:

Thanks, Fram. I am happy you like him/them. The cap got an assist from something I saw on Pinterest...the stem, less so.

Fantastic, as always! I love this thread, always enjoy scrolling through and seeing something I missed! (When I'm meant to be working or cleaning or painting of course!  :D )

I might even be tempted to try having ago at making some bigger mushrooms myself, not that I'm a fan of sculpting, never took to it well!

Thanks for the reply, Mister Frau Blucher. I am happy you like the stuff.
I normally base my things & then paint, but I am undecided as to where I am going with the bases. SO I will be painting then basing these Fellows...when I decide on colors that is.

The fungal lineup: The scornful, the Merry, the Dazzles, the Downhearted  :)
And next the One-Eyed ones, I imagine them emitting some kind of lethal rays!
The newbie face fellows came out nicely! I eagerly wait to see the Wall with the Faces!

I have a feeling there will be a few Walls & shadowboxes featuring The Faces.

I think the absence of any form of planning accounts for the variety of expressions. They just happen of their own volition.

Thanks for the very kind reply, Dinos. I think you may be right about no two being the same...I do hope you are. There is just something about each one that suggests what they should look like...I may have a Muse whispering in my ear.

Thanks, Tactalvanic! I am glad you like the Lads.
I give away quite a few of my Mushrooms to Forum Folks who could do with a little cheeriness. They are to be found from Australia to Athens.
I still have a lot of them hanging out here in Texas though.

Taken as a whole, this is one of your best batches yet. :)

Thanks, Fram. I am glad you like them.
While I ponder the bases, I started on the last three Mushrooms in the batch.

The rocks are made from plumber's epoxy putty. I shape it & texture it with a snap off knife...drawing the blade across the surface gives a nice rough finish.

I've seen that technique used frequently enough, but that usually comes off as being visibly just hacked up with a knife. But your version looks very good! Good enough that we were all guessing you were using something natural!

Thanks, for the reply, Fram. I'm not really prolific; it's more a matter of tenacity.
I got the Lads base coated today:

there should be some sort of Group Portrait eventually...I do love the en masse pics. The Twisted Tower stage will probably work.

Your new creations present a multicolored composition of a grand mushroom variety!
Always with strikingly contrasting colors!
And you did well to shoot them from various angles, as from any aspect that you look at them one can see something different!   
And the bases are almost ready to steal the show! Rocks and grass and flowers! Beautiful!
Me thinks you've gone up one level! Cheers!

Mushrooms tend to grow back in the same spots, and pickers keep the locations under tight secrecy. Under your workbench might be one such location ^.^

This is true..truffle hunters in particular. With me it is more a matter of being at the age where I tend to drop things...frequently.

For some reason the mushroom on the right looks like he might be wearing glasses. Guess it is the lines around the eyes. Some of your wild-eyed boys look like they could use a pair!

I love group photos myself...having multiple Mushrooms on the same base is an automatic group portrait.

Thank you, Dinos. I am happy you like the piece. It painted up much more quickly than I thought it would.
As far as the photos go, I have been meaning to make a new Cavern Stage. When I do, The Flying Fish(es) will get first shot at pics.

In anticipation of taking some more pics in the near future, I did a little bit of touching up. I think The Big Fish looks better for the attention.

The implant portion of my cochlear implant died in mid March. A new one will be surgically implant sometime soon. It is a fairly low risk procedure.

Very sorry to hear of the implant trouble, Al. I hope the replacement surgery goes smoothly.

I love the dragonfly, and love it even more in front of the fantastic goblin village! Been a while since you dusted that off. I'm thinking the Withches' Isle photos will be epic!

Glad to see you are still playing with colors. The blue-ish shrooms in the dragonfly base are very nice.

...actually I am sorry it has to be done as well. It shouldn't cost much &. aside from a bit of angst, it isn't a horrible procedure.
I am glad you like the Dragonfly AND the Village...I am working up some energy for the next photo shoot. The other dragon is coming along quite nicely while I mull over the photo stuff.

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. The colors remind me of an English Spring. He is a warm & pleasant Dragon.

The stems of the pointed mushrooms & the dragon's belly/fleshy areas are the same combination of greens. The scales are similar to the grass.

The Goblin Gold Miner looks very promising!
I'm sure you made a heavy modification.
After priming it looks like if it is entirely original! 
If possible you may say a few words about this job

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like the Miner...I am thinking of making him a Mushroom Farmer.
The only changes to the Goblin were getting rid of a manacle on hos left ankle. adding frayed cuff, & sleeve ends to his vest/shirt.
The miniature is a really personable fellow all on his own. I just didn't care for the enslaved look.

The war machine is an OLD G.W. piece. I forget the name, but it is part mortar/howitzer & part organ gun.
The shield has the face of a Troll stretched across it...he died wresting the artillery piece away from its former Dwarf owners.

The bases are coming along nicely...updates whenever.

Considering you have sculpted so much of this yourself, the output is amazing.  I am looking forward to next week.

I am happy I have given you something to look forward to, syrinx0. THe output is probably a matter of an Old Man with a lot of free time on his/my hands.

The morale boost is appreciated, Tactalvanic. Thanks for the reply.
Right now I am plodding along with the bases for the Game Zone Goblins. On of the Goblins had his shield removed to do his face; then the shield was reattached.

That goblin carronnade will definitely make quite splash in Old Quarter street fights!

I am sure The Blessed Order of the Gooey Death will be suitably impressed.

I did the Goblins in traditional blue & red artillery guild colors as a salute to your 18th century artillery fellows.

Looks great, especially the sooty ramrod and the wacky gunshield.

Thanks, Fram. I am happy you like the piece.
The ramrod colors are from my brief experiences with Hamilton's Artillery. The Troll Face on the shield is what made the piece fun to do for me.

Once the artillery piece was a bit beyond the blocked out state & glued in place, it got to be fun to do...I am glad I am not doing a battery of them though.

From the Goblin's perspective, they will be on the right flank. The rest of the unit is disavowing any knowledge of their existence.

The transitions are the most time consuming part of the painting, but they do add a lot to the finished minis.
I am worried about running out of my red violet though; re, it is no longer available.
All that aside, I am happy you like the transitions.

Some of the photos may be redundant, but I couldn't make up my mind, such as it is, which ones to drop from the album.
Anyway I hope you enjoy them.

Nice group shot.  Will the stage eventually be painted or are you thinking it will remain as is to contrast with the figures?

The stage will eventually be in full color. It has served me well in black & white though.

The Goblin Queen/Priestess' base has acquired some color while she has had some work done on her eyes. She also has acquired a couple of admirers it seems:

I also notice that his small size hasn't prevented you from keeping his paintjob nice and crisp so he's still clear and easy to read in spite of his reduced stature. The beard and nose combination are particularly well done.

Thanks for the reply, Fram! I am glad you like him...especially the nose & beard.
I have a fair number of Stonehaven minis of various sizes. I thought they would fit in with the rest of the Hooligans, It is good to know you agree.
The Little Fellow has just enough detailing to make him interesting, & all the details are well defined.

I generally am satisfied with my brushwork, less that perfect though it may be. I am happy most all of my miniatures have a story to tell & cause smiles with my viewers. I will let the grand master painter breath a sigh of relief that there is not a new challenger in the lists.
AND FUN is why I paint as well...it's YET ANOTHER GREAT MINDS MOMENT!.

The implant was a simpler procedure that I had feared, The only part to worry about now is that the implant will work properly with the processor (the outside piece). Thanks for the good wishes, syrinx!

They both look great. The witch has come out very well, and the skin tone on the goblin queen is very nicely blended.

I think you might want to redo her left eye though (EDIT: to be clear, I mean the one on the right in the photo). not quite sure what happened there?

Thanks, Fram. I am happy you like them thus far.
The benefit of W,I,P, photos for me is discovering all the little places that need attention. I will check out the Goblin Babe's eyes.

NEWS FLASH!: Everything went well with the surgeon & my audiologist yesterday. The new processor works SPLENDIDLY. AS the programming progresses it will get even better. Being able to hear at all is a blessing.

Thanks, Dinos. It will take several weeks before the implant & processor are working to maximum capability, but the feeling of profound isolation is gone.
The brushes & sculpting tools have started their Siren's song.

Cochlear implants are still pretty much limited to one on one conversations. Music is one of those things that lives in my memory; AND I have heard & remember some lovely music.

That's very good to read. Few years ago my father got bad of hearing, and it is a slightly scary process, because it really isolates the person from so many things. Now he's got a hearing aid, but it's still a bit weird. I mean it's amazing what technology can do now, but it's still ...different. Main thing though is that the hearing's back. Excellent. Also: Your mushrooms are back! :D That's also good to see.

When I sculpted that Mushroom, he reminded me of someone...but who? When Corsair suggested the cigarette holder the who? was answered.

I am always tempted to leave the base coated minis as monochrome pieces, but I do LOVE colors.

It might not be that hard. Two loops; glue them in pace & add a green stuff connection/nose piece.
I is something to think about doing.

Thanks, Dinos. I am delighted you like the Old Girl. I love the DiTerlizzi miniatures. They all are little characters.
The old photo lamp is working again. SO I am trying to get in some good photo sessions will it is alive.

The lady has a real twinkle in her eye! I am not sure what has aroused the disapproval of the mushroom. Maybe he does not appreciate the smoke from her pipe?

Thanks, Dinos. I have come to rely on the old lamp for decent pics.

The lady has a real twinkle in her eye! I am not sure what has aroused the disapproval of the mushroom. Maybe he does not appreciate the smoke from her pipe?

I figured it was the pipe smoke of simply that he disapproves of everything on general principles.
Thanks for the reply, Bearwoodman!

OK, Al - but now I wanna see you do a Hunter S. Thompson shroom in the future, with cigarette holder and shades! I will pay you in lavish praise!

I like Dotty a lot. I can almost see pipe-smoke trailing up into the Spooky Woods...

Funny you should mention it. As I was doing them I thought of them as Ghost Cap Mushrooms...it's another Great Minds thingy.

Besides this, I also look forward to see how you will paint this new kind of mushroom!

Thanks for the kind reply, Melnibonean. I am happy you like the Faerie Folk. I have the first of them, the Gnome, based & base coated. He is the test piece. I will put up a couple of photos of him later.

Thanks for the support, Dinos. I have a vague idea about the colors for the new Mushroom...probably will involve red.

Great that you are getting well!

I am getting there.
I am glad you like the new expression., Dinos. Thanks for the reply!

Phew! Glad to see you're still hanging in there. :D

I am glad you like him, Fram. Thanks for the reply.
Actually both the Mushrooms on the base to the lefht are doing the sidelong glance. The one on the right reminds me of someone but I can't quite place him. They would look good with some passing Babe.

Great stuff, Al! I like the curved tops of the shrooms on that base, adds a cartoony twist.

That sideways-glancing mushroom reminds me a bit of Marty Feldman.

Thanks for the reply, Bret. I am glad you enjoyed the stuff.
It's probably the bulging eyes that give off Marty Feldman vibes. He looks a bit like my old friend, Stan, as well. or, at least, the smile.

Looking nasty and mean!

With apologies to any beetles you might have sculpted...

Mean Mister Mushroom creeps in the park
Grows in the dark eating foetid matter
Peeps from a hole in the hill
Watching out for passing frills
Hide a thorny stick in his gills
Such a mean old shroom
Such a mean old shroom

His neighbour Al working non-stop
He never drops, he's a sorceror
Takes him out to to show him on screen
The most famous he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old shroom

Thanks for the reply, Bret! I am happy you like the latest duo. I try to have smaller, less personable mushrooms to match the personable Mushrooms.
I like the duel idea. I may have to give it a try.

The littler mushrooms add a perspective. There is also the possibility that they will, as the grow & mature, turn into Mushrooms of attitudes.

I like those two shrooms! But the rear-most of the three small shrooms is maybe too tall? He is blocking the eye of the taller shroom. I know that its just the angle, so probably no big deal, but it does obscure things a bit in that picture!

Thanks, Fram. The Stan & Ollie image does fit, although these Fellows are a bit seedier.
I have the taller ones face just about done now. The shorter one should be finished this evening.

In that photo, the mushroom is too tall. It looks fine from other angles though. I can do a little bend to move the cap away from his eye.
That said, I am happy you like him. Thanks for the reply, Bret...the comment was appreciated.

Today our own Dinos sent me photos of the Mushroom I sent him joining in on the Christmas festivities in Athens.
Here he is with some Elven Friends:

Thanks, Bret. I am glad you liked the pics.
There is something about group photos that appeals to be. It might have something to do with the massed table top/floor war games of my misspent youth.
I hadn't thought about the Christmas angle, but it does look like a family gathering.

It is always a treat to see your productions en masse, a real feast for the eyes.

I have always thought that you should be asked to provide the characters for a stop-motion film, I am sure it would be entrancing.

Thanks, robh!  I am happy you enjoyed the group shots...especially my Goblins.
I did the group partly as a way of snapping out of a funk; re, the staging & mass effect seems to brighten my outlook. AND
I do get some really nice reactions...like your own response.

Having a read of some posts on LAF brings my 2020 Christmas day to a close, ending with the delight of Goblins and mushrooms, great basing, and colors tripping all over, far brighter than my decorations even.

Thanks Nala, and of course everyone else on LAF, for comments, posts and constantly taking the time to share both your imagination and skill with all your creations.

Its a pleasure to be able to view them and share in your craft.

I look forward to seeing even more.

I am delighted you enjoy my stuff. It is really a treat posting here & receiving the comments/praise of my Fellow Forum Folk. If it wasn't for you all my work would lie unseen in storage.
I am looking forward to what the New Year will inspire. I already have some spooky ideas fron Tony DiTerlizzi's website.

It does look that way, although there are some sidelights that may be a bit different. I have a few spooky ideas along with expanding the roles of the Witches & Faerie Folk. The Steam punk Gnomes may gat attention at last also.

Thanks, syrinx0! I am happy you enjoy the stuff. If the Goblins think that Mother Dotty is their actual mother, it cold explain their devotion to her.
Snazzy is a puzzle. I haven't figured if his mushroom cap is or isn't part of his head.

The miniature is one of G.W's delightfully bizarre relatively new plastic Goblins.

There really isn't anything wrong with Reaper's Fungoid Queen. It is just that her cap & face didn't work well with my own Mushrooms. I redid the cap months ago. AND then she sat untouched. I finally decided to make her face over to match my Mushroom concepts. Here's the Green Stuff work:

I have found that it is a good move to correct things I am not happy with as soon as I can. It saves later reworks.
Both Faerie Fellows also got some hair help. The former mushroom Guy got a nose & ear job.

Thanks for yet another kind reply, Dinos. I am delighted you like her. The mushroom caps were difficult; ergo, I am especially happy you like them.
There is still quite a bit of work to go, but the end is in sight.

Now that you mention it the cap does have a silky quality to it...seems appropriate for a Girl.

Thanks, Fram. I do love a cluttered miniature; then I go nuts trying to get it all right. I am happy you liked the results.

Madame Champignon is beautiful! Dinos is right on the silky look. Love the purples and orangey color, but the ring of red & blue mushrooms she is rising out of really heightens the mysticism!

Shroom Shaman is great, too. I really like the contrast with the very dark nose and chin - makes the other facial details pop!

And the Loon King - I must have missed where you had modded him. A reminder that there are still pages that I have missed from this thread. He is outstanding! The red robe-bearers are cool. As is the pale blue staff ornament.

Wonderful, wonderful stuff, Al!

Thanks, Dinos. I am delighted you like the piece. It is one of those times when my poor abilities with assembly paid off; ie, I did the face swap & furs to compensate for the poor job I did putting the kit together..the face I would have gone for anyway.
I am happy you like the smaller mushrooms. They are fine supporting players in my little dramas/comedies.

He was an experiment; I think I may have been successful; at least enough to do some more of them.

You wouldn't happen to have some of the Reaper Pathfinder Goblins to compare their size with? I've been considering grabbing some of the Norkers and wondered how they matched up size wise

I do Have some Reaper Pathfinder Goblins. The Goblins are slimmer & marginally shorter than the Norkers, but they do look good together. You can decide from the photos yourself though:

Whiz Kid's Deep Cut Pathfinder Goblins also work well with the Reaper ones.

I am a Goblin Guy. I have quite a variety of the Little Rogues. The Pathfinder one are particularly nice. They have a mischievous charm all their own.

Thanks for the reply, Bret. I had been planning on doing a large(r) Cavern Stage, but it may wind up being a Mushroom Cavern Stage...we will see.

I think Dark Sword's Anthropomorphic Critters & their DiTerlizzi range are their best pieces.

Hey, on an unrelated note - is your hearing situation progressing well? I don't recall you saying anything after the initial comments following the procedure. Sorry to pry, buddy, just hoping for the best!

After a hard days nonsense (work related)  it is a joy to be able to flick to this thread, and see something that's utternly unrelated to this reality and rammed full of something from someone else's realms of fantasy and imagination.

Kindly never stop doing what you do so well.

I snapped out of the daze after finishing the Norkers. I have some more Mushrooms ready for Green Stuffing, the Mushroom Madame has a Mortisha extension to her stem/gown, AND Mushrooms/Faerie Fellows/mushrooms to be based:

While buying a new camera no doubt pinches the wallet, I'm just happy it's nothing more than a fixable mechanical failure.

I started saving my pennies when I first bought the Camera of Continual Contrariness II a few years ago. SO I am prepared for the out flow of bucks. Not having a replacement in stock was a downer.

I actually fixed the contrariness. I just show the camera all the lovely new batteries I have bought her & she seems happy to take good pics. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for some photos of the stuff.

There is always your cell phone while you wait. Probably good enough for the in progress shots anyway.

I promised not to get another camera until the current one broke. My DSC-1H is 16 years old and still works perfectly.  Granted my new cell phone has higher resolution but for macro shots of miniatures it's still good enough for my level of painting.

These purples are fantastic! And in contrast with the ground color...  :-*

Thanks, Dinos. I am glad you like the colors. The purple is a new paint from Blick Art.

One of the new cameras arrived today. SOI started figuring out how it works...they keep getting more complicated or I am getting dumber...both are viable possibilities.
The arrival coincided with the completion of another Mushroom pair:

Looks like a nice one.

- Very sharp! Seems to have a higher shutter speed (or stabilization?). Very nice feature to have anyway.
- Obviously they're a bit bright which is washing out your colours a little, but that seems like a setting that can probably be fixed without too much fiddling. 
- Depth of field seems to be a bit shallower. Again, no doubt a setting which can be fixed, though that one might be a bit more of a pain in the rear to figure out. Cameras are ALWAYS balky about macro-setting images in my experience.

Love the angle on that second, over-the-shoulder pic, BTW

Thanks, Fram. I am glad you like them..
The brightness is an easy enough fix. It's just a matter of becoming accustomed to the new Girl.
The two Mushrooms seemed like perfect foils for each other.

Thank you, Dinos. I am delighted you like the photos...the 3rd & 4th are my favorites as well.
Now I have high hopes for the new Camera!

The front of the wings is a nicely textured but less ornate Payne's grey. The back has all the detail & color.
The wings (Safari Ltd.) are challenging. I am happy you like them thus far.

It has been several years since last it got any attention or photos. SO here are some new pics. I hope you enjoy the revisit.

The terrain boards! Been too long.

Love seeing the classic woods again - everything still fits together so nicely; boards, photo stages, minis, buildings, monsters... they're all perfectly complimentary to each other.

Did you drag it out to set up any figures on it?  ;) :D

The photo of the artist reminds me of Vincent Price's talent for being both spooky and mischievous at the same time. That's what happens when you know how to have fun with your work!

Thanks, Fram It was fun taking some new photos of the Old Board...there are a
couple of extra trees added to the original scene for the pics. I was pleasantly surprised how nicely everything seems to go together myself.
I had dragged all the old Boards out for some repair work. I may be giving some to my Neighbor Hollie's son, Luke.

I think you have covered my salient traits nicely there...only silly was missed. AND I do have fun with it all!

it deserves more attention, like the rest of your work, its a fantastic creation and back drop to your many others.

Not in the least matched by the atmospheric picture of the creator, in his home environment. its great to see the master of fungal mischief himself!

The revisit has gotten such a pleasant response that I am thinking of a revisit to the other boards as well.

Thanks for the reply, Bret. I am happy you like the Woods. I started taking some revisit photos of The Witches' Isles. I will be sure to show off some minis that inhabit/infest the place.

No mushroom visible in the photos...let's leave it at that.

The Spooky Woods Board proved to be surprisingly popular on other Fora & FaceBook. SO I thought I would do the same with some of the other Boards. With the greater amount of details on of the other Boards, I will post photos a few at a time.
This is an overview of the Witches' Isles of Langerhans:

These wonderful and boards are packed with detail and character.  Very compatible from a color pallet perspective to your current work.  Have you ever considered a showing of your entire collection? I could see how an October viewing at a venue friendly to families could be a hit.

this - think I've mentioned it to mr. Nala on the TBMF more than once ... Should be on permanent, sympathetically presented display imo !

the Witches' Isle board is likewise wonderful (although would be a bit easier to see if 'bordered' round the back and sides I guess - on the other hand it's kind of cool to see it surrounded by the paraphenalia of creation ...)

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Bloggard! I am delighted you like the boards. With my limited photographic capabilities eliminating the surrounding clutter is quite a challenge...ergo, the photo stages are usually more successful.
I would kill to have a permanent display area open to the public.

Thanks you for another kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you enjoyed the photos.
One of the problems with this board & the Goblin Village is that there are a LOT of little details that are visible, but are impossible to get a photo of,,,it is frustrating.

I had done the new photos with the folks on Face Book in mind...I can't post the old pics there. AND it looked like I might be giving some of them to Neighbor Hollie's son. That probably won't be happening.
The response on the forum has been encouraging me to continue the Tour on the remaining boards.

I never got to see much of Fraggle Rock, but what I did see I loved. I did do a version of Marjorie The Trash Heap. Both Labyrinth & Fraggle Rock have been major influences on the things I do.
The thread's length reflects how little else is going on in my life or, to be more precise, my head.

There's a range, but also a consistency in this bunch that makes them look like they're all huddled up discussing something all sotto voce. What that something might be, well, not sure if it's wise to ask.

Who knows how twisted their conversation, and deviant their behavior.  I bet they have whole mouldering shelves of mushroom recipe books..

Mushrooms with fangs! Can't wait to see what what you do with them!

And "fungus" is not the the word for them...maybe "fangus"...

Thanks, Brett. I am glad you like them.
It has been awhile since I did up an entire box of painted Mushrooms. I may be due.

It has been a long time since I did a full box of Mushrooms. I might not make it to a full box, but I have started some more for The Box:

The faces you see in the caps are suggestions that some of my more imaginative viewers find..it happened with the last batch as well.
Thanks for the reply, syrinxo! I am happy you like them.

AND, despite the day's crazies. I managed to finish up the sculpting of the five plus Mushrooms from yesterday:

Didn't know you were on Facebook! If you post other pix there, that might actually get me to check that place out more often. Most of the posts there kinda turn me away.

Thanks, Bret. I am glad you like them...it is the innocent looking ones you have to watch out for.
I had joined FaceBook mostly to keep in touch with my son, Phil, but I ran into some old friends as well.
I use my actual name there; i.e., Alan Preuss. I have a fair number of albums posted.

I admit that it took me an embarrassingly long time before I made the connection between Nala and Alan. In spite of being here for years, I think I only realized that this past winter.

I am not the sharpest tool, sometimes...  lol lol lol

The somewhat dopey look on the one in the front row, third from the left (so, just left of the one Mister Frau Blucher commented on) feels appropriate in this case. At a battle of wits where everyone else rolled out land mines and heavy artillery, he's the one who's toddled on in with a spork.  lol

The name was a spinoff on one of Cap'n John's nom de character, Nhoj Repppelk the Dwarf. It is his name backward. SO I did a reversal on my first name & added deaf because I am...you would be surprised how many folks don't get it.

The Mushroom in question does look like he brought a duck to the cock fight.

Sandy & I have been friends for quite awhile. Before I had a PC, I sent her some painted versions of her minis. She loved them & we corresponded for years before I moved to Texas. We renewed our friendship on FaceBook...it does have a couple of redeeming qualities.

I accepted your request...naturally.

Sometimes the lens cannot capture what the naked eye can see.
This is the fact for any picture taken as pics cannot capture fully the 3D dimension.
I'm convinced that your creations are even more beautiful when seen from close!  :) ;)

I agree; i.e., I think my stuff looks better in hand as well. The colors are truer AND little faults that appear as glaring errors in the pics are unnoticeable in actuality.

Rumors of my death have been somewhat exaggerated.
To give you a recap of the Cap'n John Saga: Last Thursday I had to call the EMTs after John took a fall & I couldn't get him up. They took him to the local hospital.
He had had a stroke. He had a second stroke earlier this week. He will be going to a rehabilitation facility in Austin today or whenever he is up to the trip. Eventually he will be going to a nursing home near his sister on Long Island.
I will be moving when I can...somewhere. SO I won't be posting much for awhile.
Take care everyone; I shall return!

The Adventure In Moving has come to a successful & happy conclusion. Son Phil & I left Texas last Friday at 8:30ish in the morning. That night we stopped just outside of Nashville, TN. Sunday morning at 2am we pulled into Son Matt's driveway.
Now the unpacking is mostly done. I have my painting/sculpting/whatever space set up. Yesterday I was back on the air. New things keep appearing in my space on a regular basis.

Much as I miss the Folks in Texas, it is GOOD to be home!

SO I am back at it. I had a painted Troll who needed a new base. I thought I would make a swamp base with a Swamp Thing rising from the muck with a hummock on his head. After some consideration/inertia, I decided the Troll was a bit too drab for the scene. I am opting for a new, somewhat more colorful Troll. The Swamp Thing will be surround by a few other hummocks.
This where the thing stands thus far:

Good to see your log back. While I never commented a lot, I have really enjoyed your work and it's plain to see the love and enthusiasm you pour into your miniatures. It's a credit to the hobby and inspiring to watch. Hope things outside the hobby progress as well as they may, ideally better.

Thank you for your kind reply, Knight Captain Tyr. I am happy you enjoy my posts. I am poor at commenting also; this something I hope to remedy.
Paint &, more recently, sculpting for me is true love; it is one thing that has endured & grown with the years. I am glad that it shows.

Thank you, Tactalvanic. I am looking forward to how the Beasties turn out as well. It is one of those pieces that will remain a mystery until it is almost completed. I have the Swamp Thing & Troll glued down on a round wooden base surrounded by three small hummocks thus far. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess.

Some progress: the base is coming along. The hummocks have been added, swamp water sculpted, & the base coat has been applied:

The hummocks are now sporting some moss:

The moss is a mix of Super Leaf & Woodland Scenics coarse turf. I glue it down with one of those fast drying epoxy glue, Gorilla Glue in this case, & hit it with an accelerator (Zip Kick), That gives it a bit of stiffness that makes it easier to paint. I hope that that made sense.

It probably could go unpainted. Since both the Super Leaf & the Woodland Scenics come in a variety of shades, a mixture of the different shades would give a pleasant contrast of colors.

The lighting was a bit off, but now that I have my beat up fluorescent lamp back in the mix the colors are more spot on.

The Big Slimey Guy does look like he is lurking in the reeds. I wish I could say I planned it that way, but it is just one of those serendipitous happenings.

I finally sorted out all the packed up painted things from the move North. I know pretty much where everything is now AND I finished touching up & repairing those few things that were damaged in the move. Snow White's Recreational Potions (drug consortium) got the tall chimney repaired:

Yes, the lurking through the reeds is really very effective!

Yup, I was about to say the same. It's a very sinister look you achieved there. :)

Good repairing job on those! Which means that you are getting full control again, great!
Thank you so much for showing the Drug Consortium, I love so much your buildings!
And what is more fascinating, more little details were revealed, as the octopus-like and through-the-pipe looking eyes!  :-*

I really did get a feeling of accomplishment from doing the repair work. This is not normally the case.
I am delighted you like the detail work on the Consortium. I feel it is the little touches that give the buildings character. The same is true for the bases & the miniatures.

In the sorting I found some Mushrooms that had been painted but never based. SO I based up two that reminded me of American Gothic:

I was pleased to find the little Mushroom Guys. I had forgotten about them. They are probably five or six years old; I used round tooth picks rather than floral wire as the core which I haven't done in about that amount of time.

SO my latest obsession/project is making swamp stuff. Beyond the trees dripping Spanish moss, reeds. & other swampy flora & fauna, I am thinking of dilapidate structures perched on hummocks, connecting boardwalks, maybe a partially sunken tower or two jutting out of the muck, & things like that.
I had a building that I had made & primed a few years ago. I started adding some color on Thursday:

Every building needs some bloodshot eye peering out of a rat hole:

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like them. Doing building predates my involvement with miniatures. Mordheim started me doing the buildings as ruins or dilapidated buildings. As a dilapidated guy I can identify with the things I make.

Will these fit in the with your previous Islands of Langerhans boards?  ???

The new things are a replacement for the old boards. Except for the photo stages & Compo Heep's place, all the boards were left with Neighbor Hollie. She wanted them & I was pretty sure that they wouldn't survive the move North. Leaving them gives me the freedom to make yet more pieces.

Ooh, cool to see you doing more buildings! Love the colors and textures, and the dock is weathered/aged beautifully!

I wondered if you had left all your buildings behind. Sad that we won't see them anymore, but it will be exciting to watch you build another strange town from the ground up!

Wonderful work, Al!

Thanks for the kind reply, Mars Miniatures. I am happy you like the frog; I started blocking out the colors on him/her...there is potential there.
Witches & frogs are favorites with me also...especially the Witches. You should check out Tall Tales Productions. Caroline McFarland-Watts' creations are inspiring...she like witches & frogs.

How very expressive eyes for the Frog Sorcerer!
And chick checker curtains for the Swamp House!
But what drives me crazy always, is the device of the door lock mechanism!  :-* Love it!

Thanks for the kind reply, Dinos. The Frog has been fun making & painting. I am glad you enjoyed him. The basing will make the mini I am sure.
The clockwork doors are at times frustrating to do, but I have been happy with the results. Having you concur makes it worth the effort.

You are a WONDERFUL source of motivation, my dear friend.
There will be quite a lot of clockwork thingies coming up. I do like the look; AND, typically, I amassed quite a stockpile of clock parts that I need to justify purchasing.

It is about the same. I knew what colors I was going to do the curtains, but I haven't decided on the faces.

Thanks, Bret. I am glad you love The Frog. He was one of a three frog pack; I still have another one that was going to serve as a before & after piece, but now I have started thinking about what I can do with him/her/it.
The house is getting some attention today. I have it glued down on a 6' wooden circle, added a little hummock, & I have started adding marsh grass/reeds. Depending on how long my energy lasts, I may manage to get down the water puttying. I am really excited about what modeling opportunities The Swamp offers.

The Swamp House is coming along more slowly than I would like, but then it is the first building in town. As the prototype I was expecting it to take extra time. It will set the feel for most everything else.
The Snow White Gang will be getting some paint time today & most of the week. At least, I hope so.

Thanks, Brett. I am glad you like it. The water will look more more watery after the gloss finish. The eyes were motivated by Gatlag's suggestion on T.B.M.F..
If things go as planned, I will have all the necessary materials to expand the setting on Saturday...OH BABY!. This will involve a not-so-fast trip yo Lowe's, Ace Hardware, & Michael's.

Thanks for the reply, Dinos! They are about a foot in height & quite broad. I am planning on having a dozen or so of them plus some smaller, deader looking ones. I am going to try to have them all festooned with Spanish moss & looking very Bayou  appropriate. Did I mention that I get carried away with things? I thought I might have.

Now snakes are something I hadn't thought of until you mentioned them. Thanks, Fram. There definitely will be snakes.
The Trees will take quite a bit of decorating. Some will be more personable that others, but they all will need mushrooms of various sort & little feathered & furry folk to inhabit them...it is comforting to know what I will be doing for the rest of my life.

The Zealot Miniatures' Shrine just seemed the thing to have hidden on a swamp islet. It will probably get creepier still as the trees get closer to completion.
Considering the amount of time a gaming army needs to get table worthy, smaller less detailed terrain makes sense. I am happy you like my trees. Thanks for the reply, Wirelizard!

The snakes idea has made me think about just what sort of snake would inhabit The Swamp. A version of Tall Tales' Python would be just the thing:

You can get a better idea of just how many branches are involved from the top view:

Doing the clay sculpt on the trunk & larger branches & glue gun teasing the smaller branches & roots is next. This one will be getting a face as well. Then there will be another eleven or so trees to make...sigh.

It's more of an extension of the existing Last Hurrah Project. The Swamp is a significant part of the story. The Trees are a major feature of The Swamp.
Right now I am doing some work on bases for the Witch & Wizard Frogs. I also hope get some painting in while I do YET MORE wire twisting. All this will be interrupted this afternoon by a first visit to my new doctor...nothing wrong, just getting a blood test for my anticoagulates.

Thanks for the kind reply, Anatoli. I am delighted you enjoy my stuff.
Storage remains a problem. I give away some of my pieces to friends including a fair number of Forum Folk. Some wind up in a few small display cases I have...I will be getting some more soon. Most of the pieces get packed away. My photos are my way of showing the stored minis off.
The large boards were given to Neighbor Hollie right before I had to move from Texas back to Long Island.

Thanks for the reply, randycarter! I am enjoying watching Tiltin'town develop also. I did a little flair around the two conical roofs. They will be getting air dry clay shingles...eventually. Where the place goes from here is any one's guess. That adds to the fun of it all.
I am happy you like the trees. They are a bit of work, but I hope the results will more than justify the effort.
The Frog Witch & Wizard were based up yesterday. Photos will follow.

Post by: DeafNala on February 16, 2022, 12:40:13 AM
The idea behind The Swamp is to create a Mordheim like board with the isles substituting for the ruined buildings. The isles will all be connected by rickety walkway like those connecting the upper stories of the ruins in Mordheim, Here a fall is not onto the unforgiving cobblestones, it is a splash into the horridly toxic waters of The Swamp.
SO I have another isle underway. This one was meant to be the home of the (North Umbrian Tin Soldiers') Witches Toil & Trouble:

Doing the wire twists is THE worst part of making trees. I just let my mind drift while I am twisting. This usually spawns new ideas for the setting, interesting little background stories, character names, & more scratches than I might have otherwise suffered. I think it is one of the useful traits I hung on to from the factory jobs I worked in my school days.

Thanks, Bret. I am happy you are enjoying it. The Swamp was the setting for the original Witches' Isle & the Goblin Village. This a a rework of the boards I had to leave in Texas when I moved back to Long Island. It's somewhere between the New Jersey Swamp & the Bog of Eternal stench. While I would like to see it moving forward a bit more rapidly, I am still happy to see it progressing at a slow & steady pace. Populating the place will be a blast...or a methane gas explosion.

I have frequently commented that New Jersey license plates are actually a depiction of New Jersey air.

I remember as a boy going to my Aunt Skeets & Uncle Lenny's place in NJ. Emerging from the Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel left us at the beginning of The New Jersey Swamp. It had a unique & distinctive aroma to it that left an impression on me that has never faded over all these years.
There are places in NJ were the air is visible & does resemble their license plates.

I like crooked houses and grunge wall and I'm always following to see your new creations taking life!

Thanks for the reply & the ongoing support, Dinos. I am happy you are enjoying the new stuff.
Making the surreal buildings is one of the most enjoyable parts of the project.

Friend Ethan & I had been talking about Cruel Reality . The thought of making Cruel Reality as a miniature was too good not attempt it. SO I made up an armature with hands & face from the G.W. Zombie sprue:

The highlights on the spook shields didn't show up in the photos for some reason or other...probably the lighting. I used Americana Bluegrass Green & Sea Breeze.

Thanks for the reply, Dinos! The encouragement is appreciated AND I am happy you like the stuff.
I am looking forward to painting the isle. It should look better in full color...at least I hope so. I added a fourth building & started a dock. To accommodate the new building I had experimented with a larger base. That didn't quite work out; re, the base warped. SO I added a second isle connected by a walkway. Some docks are in the cards as well. I will put up photos later...photos forthcoming.

I had an idea for adding a fourth building & a dock to the isle, It would need a larger base:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AM-JKLV1WWdN9rgln3xVC3F4cEXGFoaKSAc-oKNitNQNoga6L9YmfZoUXb4tCPYfMSAFMXXJ622DYbgZqiL3JuSZB-_gdOoKGUgu7-zix64XdiAzM22wp_bFM-Q-bPrCdGsgTrR2dcP-qKRPR1T9xEkJIZL0mw=w1248-h936-no?authuser=0)

Unfortunately the base warped. Not wanting to waste the building, I thought a second isle would was just the thing. With all that extra room, a fifth building would work out splendidly:

Getting carried away with things is how the best stuff happens.  :D

Had an idea - bracing or struts or beams of some kind at an upper point (2nd floor? 3rd?)between the two new buildings, as if they're both in tension and holding each other on the island?

It may not be the most efficient method, but it works for me...I think better with a glue gun in my hand.

A shared balcony might look good & give a "leaning on each other" look. They do a gravity defying appearance.

Thanks, Dinos. I do love cartoons. Awakening memories of them in other folk make my creations a success to my way of thinking.

I finally based up & base coated Toil & Trouble with their Cauldron. They will be the first residents.
That's Trouble with Toil in the background:

Thanks for the reply, syrinx0. I know a fellow painter who likes his grey scale prep so much that he never seems to get beyond it & into full color land.
Mold lines can be fun. I intentionally would post photos of pieces prior to removing the mold line on T.B.M.F/; re, it annoyed one of the forum fellows...I liked annoying him.

It took a couple of days, but the new buildings now have roofs. I let the clay dry for a day or two; then they will get a coat of workable fixative & the white over black treatment:

How true. Love & sewage drain are rarely linked in a phrase. The sewage does, however, contribute significantly to The Swamp's unique bouquet.

With a fair amount of the tedious work done, the Tavern should be a lot of fun to do up. I am not sure what its actual function will be. It quite large & impressive if only for its size.

Thanks. Little Odo! I am happy you like the new stuff. I promise to keep at it for as long as I can.

Love the Cauldron, great work.

The Cauldron is getting to be popular. The Night Folk are WONDERFULLY imaginative, whimsical pieces.
Thanks for the reply, beefcake!

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like him.
SpellCrow just calls him Hobgoblin with shovel. He reminds me of the undertaker in Van Helsing. I experimented with a pale skin color with purple undertones. I liked the effect well enough that the rest of the Hobgoblins will have similar flesh.

Thank you, Dinos. I am happy I have finally managed to have something to post; AND delighted that you enjoyed what I did. Faces are my favorite thing to sculpt & paint.

Thank you, Fram. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see well enough to do even the larger pieces. I was pleased I could. I am delighted that you like the results.

Thanks, Dinos. The eyes aren't perfect yet, but good enough for some work.
I am happy you like the results. The Morels are one of the nastier Mushrooms, This is the first time I tried doing some smaller supporting cast ones.

Looking mighty good! And nasty (but in a good way)!

Thanks, Fram....glad you like them. Even the merry looking ones are suspect.
I hope to do some artier photos on one of the photo stages soon.

There is something about all of the Mushrooms that suggests nefarious, disreputable, untrustworthy characters. Then there are the outright evil ones.
Thanks for the reply, Fram.

Thanks for the reply, Fram. I'm not knocking them out like when I was painting armies, but not all that shoddy for an Old Man.
I like the Joker idea. Caesar Romero it would have to be; re, I don't know who Heath Ledger is...definitely out of the loop here.

Oh no worries, one of actors in the latter-day films (now sadly departed) - excellent performance on Ledger's part, but I think old Caesar's Clown Prince of Crime would be much more in the vibe of your oeuvre.  ;) :D

After your reply. I looked Heath Ledger on Wikipedia. I remember him from A Knight's Tale. I really enjoyed that film & his part in it. It is a shame he died so young. Since I am dependent on closed captioning, I watch less movies than I used to & rarely new ones.
Funny thing, other Folk on other forums have also seen The Joker in that purple Mushroom...I thought he looked like The Grinch.

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like them. Colorful seems to be my thing.

Oh the eyes on those fleshy pink ones are creepily penetrating! Well done!  :D

Thanks, Fram. I was trying out not using the hole in the beads. I am glad you like the result. I think they look creepier also.

AND here are the latest Mushroom that are nearing completion:

Thanks, Fram. I was trying out not using the hole in the beads.

Good to try different stuff, but no need to chide yourself if that's what you were thinking. Using the holes has always been a good technique for sculptors, and if it was good enough for classical Greek and Roman masters...

I will be using both methods depending on what I want the sculpt to look like. The hole does have advantages; i,e,; the following eyes are a cool effect. The holeless eyes make sidelong glances more effective & have potential in the creepy department.
Thanks for the reply, Fram!

I have been plodding along with my Mushrooms as my eye slowly get better. The result is eight bases of them ready for some floral finishing touches:

I added supporting cast mushrooms to the last two & based up the last of the painted Mushrooms together on a small base yesterday. Once I add grass tufts & such to the batch, I will take some photo stage pics of the lot. I hope to do that over the weekend.

I especially like the pair on the left here. Their expressions have a bit of an air of mystery to them, and it's not quite clear if they're gleeful, angry, saddened, or... something else. Pretty tough to pull off that ambiguity while still giving them recognizable emotional qualities.

Thanks for the kind reply, Fram. I am delighted you enjoyed the latest batch of silliness.
I wish I could say I planned the expressions, but I only have the vaguest ideas of where the sculpts will go when I make up the dollies. It just flows as I work the green stuff. Happily that does seem to work out. It is probably why they are all different.

Thanks for the reply, tactalvanic. I am happy you like the Spook AND my cat/kitten. Marty is my sunshine.

Thanks for the reply, Fram. I am happy you like The Spook.
I am enjoying Marty's kittenhood immensely. He is incredibly curious, very enthusiastic, affectionate, & occasionally crazy. His enthusiasm is infectious. He is also all brown, which I understand is very rare for a cat.

Marty has quite the presence in front of the camera.  Looks like he is enjoying watching you paint.

I think, if he had thumbs, he'd give painting a try. He does enjoy playing with the brushes.

Thanks, Paul!! I have been trying to expand the range of colors I use for the Mushrooms. I am happy you enjoyed the results.
My daughter(in law),  Melissa, has our home Halloween themed. I think that is the inspiration for The Spook. I will most probably be continuing with the eeriness.

One of the things I have learned in the process of becoming an Old Cat Man, is that cats are far from aloof; it's more that they will return what is given to them. An independent cat is an independent cat and there's nothing wrong with that, but a very affectionate cat is typically one who is reciprocating the affections shown to them by their owner. (This also holds true for vocalization: A talky cat is one who is frequently spoken to).

Which is a long-winded way of my saying it seems Marty likely feels the same about you as you do him.  ;) 8)

Marty certainly isn't aloof with me. He is my little shadow. I do talk to him quite a lot...I am trying not to add "y"s to words. I am not sure if he talks back; he might be out of my hearing range at this stage. Damnit The Cat used to tell me cat stories when I would let him in or out of the house.

Thanks, syrinx0! I agree that a miniature isn't finished until its base is done. The base provides a setting,
I am happy you like the Gravestone Spirits. They add to the fun of the piece I think.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Tactalvanic. I am delighted you got a boost from my stuff.
I have been struggling with motivation & a case of the blues myself. Once I got moving the rust started crumbling away.

Thanks for the reply, Glen! You have to make the most of the hand you are dealt & the time you are given...those are the rules.

SO...a new year a something new & strange; i.e., I have a Mushroom Wizard, Wogg The Weird, with his Larger-Than-Usual Squig, Polly, underway. This is the basic dolly:

Thanks, Fram. I am glad you like his nose.. The pince-nez is a splendid idea, I did that with the FDR Mushroom. It would add to the wizardly look.
I got quite a bit done on Polly today, As always, there will be some tweaking, The supporting cast mushrooms are getting pretty numerous.

It is funny you mentioned the background. When I set up the Mushrooms on the stage for the photos, Marty hopped on the table behind the background. Well...he couldn't get a good enough look at what was happening. SO he tried to jump on top & over the stage. He didn't quite make it. Some repair work, restaging the shot, & calming the cat were necessary before the shooting.

I have slowly been making progress with the Mushrooms & their supporting cast.
These Fellows are about ready for basing & the inevitable touch up:

Thanks, Dinos. I am glad you like them. The greens were another version of a pair I did in the last batch. That shade of green was what I used when I did my Goblins in green.
There are five more ready to paint. The gray cap will eventually be a new Mushroom Witch.

Thanks, Fram. I have been thinking about new combinations, changing some of my textures, & adding additional mushroom to the larger Mushrooms...I got a bunch of new Utrecht colors from Blick just ahead of the freeze.
The Green Guys are the flashiest of the new batch. I am glad you like them.

I had given a couple of Mushrooms to one of the girls/nurses were Son Matt works. I had to go in for an osteoporosis shot yesterday & Matt told me there were a bunch of the girls/nurses that REALLY wanted a Mushroom of their own. SO I brought the Box of Mushrooms  in to let them choose their own. This is now the State of The Box.

They are sought after items by the nurses & bank employees of Texas as well.

It was ne of those occasions when everything just came together as well as I could hope. The Tree was originally done as a separate piece. The Witch just seemed to fit wit him perfectly.

Thank you, Dinos, I tend to think of the Mushrooms & miniatures I do as a troupe of actors. I am happy you like them.

A lotta leers in that sketchy-lookin' crew.  lol

They are a disreputable looking group. My Mushrooms do seem to leer a lot.

The Mushroom Witch/Enchantress is painted. She will get based up sometime over the weekend.

Thank you, Dinos. I am delighted you like her. I had my doubts through most of the sculpting & painting.
She does a sort of charm to her. I may base her with a Tree like the first Mushroom Witch to give her the eye.

I'm making THE MOST out of a rare burst/period f energy & enthusiasm. The Witch turned out almost in a Chibi style; that does fit with the Mushrooms in general.
I am not sure what the coloration on the Puff Ball infested Mushroom will be other than colorful. His legs/stem give him a ballet look with a healthy(?) dose of Oogie Boogie.

Oogie Boogie beat out the Fantasia Hippos hands down. Melissa keeps a The Nightmare Before Christmas household; SO the inspiration is there. AND Mother Nature certainly has provided me with a multitude of different mushrooms to corrupt.

It has been years since the last Tree I finished. While some do sport shelf style mushrooms. I haven't used them for facial features before, but, now that you have planted the seed or, in this case, spore, I can see a lot op potential in their use...as moustaches as well.
Today the Mushroom Witch got a bunch of little mushrooms to add a Carmen Miranda touch to her cap. I also started the faces on a pair of Trees. Energy & attitude are still improving.

There have been dozens of small mushrooms added to the work in progress board. Most all of the Mushrooms have been undercoated:

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like the Trees. There is quite a lot of work left to be done on them: next the air dry clay (Das) for bark. then some hot glue teasing on the branches, painting, & groundwork.  I have two more underway; one of which still has some wire work to be done. One of the Mushroom Witches may be part of this group.

Yes! New trees!

Also the "sprouting" hats are spreading...  :D

Thanks, Fram. I am pretty excited about finally doing the faces on the Trees as well. It is a start.
Now the thing is to avoid having every Mushroom with sprouts. Getting in a routine way of doing things is one of my crafting faults. I am also trying to develop more types of mushrooms. Eventually I hope they will look like they were rejected for Dr. Seuss due to excessive strangeness.

I will keep you updated as the Trees progress. Even what seems like insignificant progress can takes hours to achieve.
I am planning on doing a number of somewhat smaller, less complicated trees, rather like the difference between mushrooms & Mushrooms. I will post progress with them as well.

Thanks, Fram. I am happy you like the new colors. I have been trying for more diverse color schemes. It is SO easy to get in a rut of go-to colors. When I put in an order with Deco Art for restock of standard paints, I ordered a bunch of new ones as well:

Thanks for the reply, Bret. I am glad you are still enjoying the thread.
I have a box devoted to purples & violets in addition to a couple of racks & other boxes. The Deco Art shown are jusr new acquisitions...sigh.

I have to make/paint more stuff constantly like a shark has to keep in motion. I have four more Mushrooms plus supporting cast finished, ready for basing, & for photos with some more in the works. I seem to be getting my mojo back; AND, while my eyes are still not cooperating, I have become acclimated to the condition. I hope to be adding miniatures to the mix soon.

I am hearing "In the hall of the mountain king" playing in my head when I see those dancers. A good sign? Well, it's a sign of something anyway.  lol

You certainly are going all out with the new colours, and many of them are so very bright. Questionable expressions but bright cheery colours produces quite the effect. Love 'em as always.

Thanks once more, Dinos. I am happy you are enjoying the colors. Trying new color combinations is experimental. Getting a favorable reaction makes it a successful experiment.

In the Hall of the Mountain King is a more complimentary song than The Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairies that has been playing through my head. I started basing the horde up...always a delightfully messy operation even when Marty isn't helping.
With the Mushrooms it is hard at times to figure out if that is a smile or a leer...probably somewhere in between.
I am happy you like the colors as well, Fram. Thanks for the reply.

I'm pretty sure I have the right song playing, but who knows...not even The Shadow.
I have the Fungal Dancer mounted on the same base. They look like they belong together. The base is slowly nearing completion along with a few others.

They are excellent finds. The swords-mushroom may very well be given a shot. I am happy you like them too, Dinos!
I have several pieces complete & all set for pics. It is just a matter of overcoming inertia to set up a photo stage.
Today I got a bunch of new bases sanded & prepped, ready for Mushroom infestation.

Did a little sculpting during this week's DnD session. GM asked for some mushrooms for an underground forest. It was fun getting back in it. They came out okay but I think I need some more practice.

Any pro-tips?

OUTSTANDING, That guy!, especially for some impromptu pieces. You have The Touch. Keep up the FINE WORK!
I finished up two more Mushrooms (individually based) over the weekend. I am working on the BIG Squig & the Mushroom Wizard rider. I just couldn't come up with a color scheme & now it is flowing...pics sooner or later.

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you are enjoying the thingies I keep coming up with.
The idea for the Mushroom Wizard came from something MaHo's Workshop created. My version went off in another direction though.
I will keep making stuff & posting as long as I can...or longer.

Thanks, Fram. I love the group photos also. everything seems to work so nicely together...distracts one from the little faults as well.
Marty is a little fellow. He has retained a lot of this kitten cuteness. He is also a crazy person & a joy to have around.

Thanks, Dinos. I am glad you like the new stuff. I only noticed after I posted the pic that the Mushroom on the left is completely hidden behind the smaller mushrooms. I will have to take a few more photos to show off the flank Mushrooms.

I think the Witches are going to be in Halloween colors; i.e., oranges & black.

I had a lot pages to catch up on, but it sure has been a great ride! The worlds you create are truly both inspiring, prodigious and miraculous! Some may have said your little builds look like the illustrations of a childrens book, but I think they might be the stories themselves. Whenever I look at your pictures I just hear the numerous mushrooms chit-chat, gossip, gabble and cackle; all in all a cacophonous swamp/forest!

Blending on the cap was much easier than the blending on the cat.

Long, much longer may you be around ruling the mushrooms.

Marty is a show stopper as all Ginger Cats are.

I sympathise, the flea situation cannot be pleasant for either him or you, have been there long years ago, learned in the UK that quickest fix was pest control, I tried for three weeks to get it sorted, they sprayed for a couple hours and done.

Still, the main thing is your still around, Marty is good and the coloured world you produce continues on to entertain us all.

I have written it before, but still same again, don't stop what your doing its fantastic and so are you.

This my big opportunity to be on hand to watch Hannah grow & spoil her properly.

Being a Grandpa may be even better than being a Dad.

Thanks once more for the ongoing morale support. I am delighted you like the coven...there is a Shaman yet to be finished as well.
I had a little touch up to do on the new Witch. I will substitue new pics for the old shortly.

 :o DeafNala, your prodigious fungus project is inspiring. I am LOVING the bright colours and gradients you are currently pulling off they are so fun! You must have at least 3 rooms full of mushrooms now.

It would be amazing to see a whole forest diorama of all your work.

They do occupy more than a single room around the house...more if I didn't give some away.
I have a couple of bases nearing completion including the Mushroom Shaman.
The new Witches Isles/Swamp was meant to have an extensive array of Mushrooms & Spooks. I recently got an inspiration for & a motivatin to make some Graveyard pieces just in time for Halloween.

I thought I should take a few pics of these two Mushroom bases before they go to two of my favorite audiologist:

For a moment, in that last pic I thought he was holding a guitar.

Which made me realize something: We need some mushroom musicians! Perhaps a squeezebox? Some sort of lute? A femoral penny-whistle? And goodness only knows what sort of drum a mushroom artiste would put together.

Now that you mention it, at a quick glance. the bone does have a guitar look . Actually being a guitar would have been cool. I think I have a couple of string instruments that came in an accessory pack from Reaper kicking around somewhere. Should I find them I think having a Mushroom Bard might be fun. I'm not sure I could come up with enough instruments for a band.
I did make a Mushroom Christmas Choir/Carolers with a Goblin music director & a singing tree in the background years ago.

The stages have worked well for me. I think I will be doing a couple more in the near future. A cavern of the Mushroom/Goblin sort & another urban board are possibilities. I would also like to paint up the Twisted Tower stage...Marty permitting.

Thanks for the very kind reply, Fram. I am delighted you noticed & liked the new mushrooms. I have been trying to expand the variety if supporting cast mushrooms with different caps & color schemes.
On the Halloween front, I have been inspired by some lovely stuff on Pinterest to start doing some Pumpkins...The Great Pumpkins Evil-If-Somewhat-Whimsical Minions.

So bold colors and I particularly like the hues of blue you used and your brush technique as well, some of them give the impression they are made of velvet!

Thanks for the kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the colors.
I decided that basing The Spook & the other Graveyard Denizens as an individual pieces would be the best way to go; re, large groupings never seem to get done.

SO I did my white over black base coat on the two Flying Jack-O'-Lanterns yesterday. When I dug them out of storage to add the wings I was surprised to see I had made more than I thought I had. The other three may or may not get wings. If not, they will most probably become Pumpkinheads:

No new pics yet, but I am wrapping up the second of a pair of cup style Mushrooms. & I redid the eyes on all the Pumpkinheads. I decided to make them all Flyers.

The Flying Pumpkinheads/Jack-O-Lanterns; I thought I had enough wings to do all five Jacks, but it turned out I only had one more set of wings. SO I now have the additional wings plus some on their way from Reaper:

The Fly Boys do have that B Horror Movie theme music vibe about them.
I wonder if I could do a Maria Ouspenskaya in miniature:

I think poor Maria has the kind of face that I could probably do.

I did up some small mushrooms that I had sculpted quite a while ago. I'm working in reverse on these; i.e., normally I do the big Mushrooms then make small ones of the same sort. This time I am planning on making a couple/few big Mushrooms to match the small ones:

Now that you mention it, they do. If I had gone with the bright red I had initially thought of doing on the tops, they would really look like torches. Thanks for the reply, Fram!

Thanks for the enthusiastic response, Fram. Basing  called for additional details that had to be made before I could start...all those tombstones for one. SO it has been slow going. I just started adding the static grass now.

They are coming out very nice! Various faces done with your unique style!
And the winged pumpkins over the tombstones so very original! .
After flocking and the addition of static grass they will be one-of-a-kind pieces, all of them!
Good continuation to your job!

Part II in The Spooky Woods will be along in a couple of minutes. The pic are taken, but I am posting in two parts on a few different  forums. Save any comments until the second batch of pictures appears.

I am always excited when you take pictures in the Spooky Woods! All your creations blend perfectly in the environment, as if they were living their whole life there! Mushrooms with striking colors, beautiful flesh tones and all this enhanced by the so good basing you always make! All the shrooms are unique, but I will especially comment on the Morels! The Witch is impressive, too! A lot of good jobs, well done!

Thanks once more for the kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you are still enjoying the Mushrooms & the photos.
I was relieved to have finally finished this batch. Now I am excited about completing the last three Witches & starting on some new stuff.

The morels and toothy boys are great, but I love the "Mushroomception" fellow with the ring of smaller mushrooms on his cap - that one has turned out grand as anything.

Thanks, Fram. I appreciate your kind reply. I wish I could take all the credit for the idea of the little mushrooms on the cap, but I think I got the original idea from either some of the newer G.W. Goblin pieces or Maho. I have expanded on it though. I am pretty pleased with how that Fellow turned out also.

It was a fairly productive weekend. In addition to a bunch of new toadstools, I got a good start on the Faerie Wing Witch's base & sculpted, base coated a new type of Mushroom; he looks some where between the Creature from the Black lagoon & Frankenstein's Monster.
The Mushroom from the Black Lagoon:

Thanks, Dinos. I am glad you like him. He was fun to make & has the creepy, scary look I was trying for. Making a horde of the Beasties would be cool; I don't see it happening, but it would be cool.

Thanks for the reply, syrinx0. Yes he does. I got the idea/inspiration from a kick starter I saw some where or other. There were a few of them arrayed like a small unit. I added the Goblin style point, curly shoe in lieu of the feet the kick starter mushrooms had AND added the sinewy arms & big clawed hands. I am thinking of doing more for a unit feel.

good job Marty

Working nights (from home now - joys of technology) my ginger assistant is unimpressed though and is very strict usually regards when his servants should be gone to bed!

and yes its an interesting juxtaposition that I am the assistant's servant, but he is a cat, and I have the opposable thumbs!

Thanks for the kind reply, Tactalvanic! I am happy you enjoyed the new addition.
Like most cats, Marty thinks I belong to him rather than the other way around...actually we belong to each other.
We have the same sleeping pattern; i.e., a series of long & short naps interspaced with hours of activity. I worked night shift for years. A steady shift was easy o adapt to; it was the rotating shifts that killed me. Now that I am retired I can sleep when I want.

Napping is a team sport here. Marty either likes sleeping on my legs or in his cat cave next to the bed. Life is better with a cat in it.

Thanks, Dinos. I am, as always, delighted you like her/them. Charming is an appropriate description of a witch. The Girls do look like fairy/witchy Godmothers rather than the cackling children eaters of lore. The one with the butterfly wings has a sour expression which I am thinking of changing.

Another excellent witch! Three of them means you have enough for the classic triad coven  lol

Thanks, Fram. I am, as with Dinos, delighted you like her/them. I also was thinking of the Witches in Macbeth once I had three.

Thanks, syrinx0! I am glad you like the stage. The photo stages do add a nice setting for the thingies. I hope to finally paint the Twisted Tower stage.
I haven't used the Mushroom Forest or the Urban stages for quite some time. I will have to do so again soon.

I sometimes can hear Grace Slick belting out White Rabbit  somewhere in my head when I am working on my Mushrooms. I take this as a sign of success.

Thanks, Dinos. It was much easier reaching 600 pages with all the kind replies I have received. As an ongoing supporter of my stuff, thank you for all the motivation.

Thanks, Battle Brush Sigur! You & all the other kind folk who have left replies to my stuff deserve a substantial amount of credit for the number of pages. Let's try for a thousand.

Thanks, Tactalvanic! I am happy you enjoyed the stuff. I wonder if the mushrooms are affecting their environment or the other way around. I like to do foot extensions with curly, point toes on my Goblins; that's where the Goblin Feet got their name. They do fit the character of the Mushrooms.

I started on the Twisted Tower back sometime in '17. Seven years later, it is finally getting colorful:

Thanks, Dinos...glad you like it! At almost twice the width, height, & depth of the Spooky Woods stage, this will make for some interesting photos.

Oooh I remember this one! Nice to see you back at it!

It didn't seem like I would ever get around to working on the Tower Stage. It is amazing what I can do with a jolt of energy & a splash of enthusiasm. The sprint to the finish line is going to be fun & maybe even productive.
Thanks for the reply, Fram!

Looks like it will be a great background.  Sometime you just need to wait for the proper time to complete some projects.
