Looking good! Will look even better with paint slapped on (or maybe even painted on, like the fancy kids do these days).

Also nice to see an update!

Thanks for the reply, Fram. I am happy you like the new stuff. There is still quite a lot of detail work to do, but when I get to it I may forgo the slapping in favor of the painting...it is a matter of disposition I suppose.

I got in some work on The Swamp stuff. The third of the four trees now has its full compliment of twisted wire branches:

It is the one on the far right:

AND Toil & Trouble's Isle building has a clockwork door mechanism:

More as things develop...whenever that is.

Sooooooo much work on those trees. You watching something while doing those or is it a bit of a long slog?

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 for the reply, Fram!

Man, love the concept for the islands in the toxic bog, and love seeing them come together!

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.

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:

AND sculpted him & Dead Fred the Tombstone:

Basing & painting next.
