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

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.

OHHHHHHHHHHH!!! The confusion is my bad only; I've been following this wonderful thread since the beginning of times, but got distracted by that lisergic environment somehow along the way!

So forget everything I've said about original ideas!  

BTW: Witch Hunters are ALWAYS 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.

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?!)

You aren't the only one that got my meaning wrong. SO it's must be the way I phrased it.

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:





...one can dream.

Matchbox 1:43 Gypsy Caravan - I can dream about it!

That is cool. This is the one I have:



...smaller, but with some modifications it has possibilities.

THAT is a blunderbussly-menacing pumpkinhead badass!!!

Very lovely paintjob, Nala! I like the work on orange band green, very well done!

Thanks, dino! He does look like he has the proper attitude to use the mini cannon to spread death, destruction, AND make a helluva a noise....glad you like him.

Thanks for the kind response, randy! Compliments on my colors are music to my ears...so to speak. I'm delighted you like my stuff.

Few weapons are as much fun as a blunderbuss. 

Though a paintbrush might come close.

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.

[DeafNala]

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.

I made a wagon 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.
