Thanks, Doc...glad you like it!

The Rat is Rebel Miniatures/Dark Hold Goblin Pack Rat. Here's their take on the Beasty & a link to their store:

...pretty cool, eh?! I have all the rest of their Goblins based, ready to paint, & move into their digs by Rapunzel's Twisted Tower...if I ever stop getting distracted...maybe.

AND later the same day, the Faerie Fiend is now based & posing with the latest of her victims:

Feel free to save photos or try similar ideas. I have most of my mushrooms in this section of my PhotoBucket:

Google is easier to navigate, but has fewer of the old photos:

I could send you some samples  if you'd like.

That would be amazing.

I just spent a good part of my evening browsing through your Photobucket pics in awe. 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.

P.M. me with your address if you'd like a few Mushroom...painted or not.

After a minor drought, it's so very nice to see so much good stuff one after the other.

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.

Loving it as always but that pack rat is inspired...

Thanks, Golgotha! The Guys at Rebel Miniatures did an outstanding job on the Pack Rat..I'm looking forward to painting mine.

[Hobgoblin]

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.

SO a final Goblin to post this year:








AND the W.I.P. Gang:


As I used to say in my Drinking Days: "FAFFY FOO FEAR!"

[FramFramson]

Wow, that's a wicked one! One of your best!

[DeafNala]

Wow, that's a wicked one! One of your best!

Thanks, Fram! I'm glad you like her; the Girl has gotten mixed reviews.

[DeafNala]

SO the first minis of '16 are a Trio of Mites (Reaper) all painted up & ready to make like miserable for Visiting Adventures in Cavern Gray Scale:

...seen off in the distance:


...AND up close:










...with a shot of what's happening on the work table:



...there you go once more!
