Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 04/25/24 Mushroom & Mini-Me Mushroom Done!

AND this is what I did today...craft wise that is:
The Witches' Hunters got their bases & Pumpkin Heads painted:

 

 

 

 
...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.

OOOh amazing updates are awaiting us!
I love the Witchhunters and gypsies theme!

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 for the reply, LordOdo! I think there should be some fun twists to the Pumpkin Gangs. I hope you enjoy them.

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.

I surely do!

[DeafNala]

I surely do!

I appreciate that, LordOdo! I aim to out do myself this year.

[FramFramson]

This bunch is going to be good, I can feel it in my water!

[Globlin]

These pumpkin heads are some creepy looking blighters! Lovely stuff!!

Looking forward to seeing how the coven and gypsies turn out too.

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.

Thanks for the reply, Globlin! I'm glad you like them.
I'm looking forward to seeing how they all turn out myself. It's always a surprise...sometimes a pleasant one.

I'm sure they will 

[DeafNala]

I'm sure they will 

Thanks for the reassurance, Tobias. Morale support is always appreciated.

After a drop, a fix, & a touch up, the first of the Witch's Hunters is done:

 

 

 

 
...the rest of the lads got a little attention as well:

 

 
...barring any further disasters, I may get some more work done. The Blunderbuss is the next probable.

[Malebolgia]

The Witch Hunter's face is perfect for his epic pose. Well 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:

 

 

 
..with the Jack O'Lantern head, G.W. plastic Zombie arms, knot, & pouch:

 

 

 

 
...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:








...that should be it for today.
