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

An odd duck, to be sure, but an admirably earnest one. 

I used to get a kick out of Johnny Carson's reaction to Tiny Tim's performances. The interviews were hilarious.

Thanks, randycarter! I am happy you like them. If all goes well with my eye & my new glasses, there may be a rise in the pumpkin patch. In addition to by own Pumpkinheads,  I have a bunch of SpellCrow minis in backlog.

I wait for them!

[DeafNala]

I wait for them!

Thanks for the reply, randycarter! You, hopefully, won't have too long to wait...hopefully.
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. Then I discovered I only had one more set of wings...I thought I had three. SO I ordered the wings from Reaper; they should be here early next week.

[DeafNala]

The Flying Jack-O-Lanterns now have new & even creepier eyes. The Faerie Winged Mushroom Witch is ready for painting, AND the Witch's Cup Mushroom have one painted & one almost completely painted...not too shoddy.
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 Faerie Mushroom Witch ready to paint:


The wings are from Safari toy butterflies:


One Witch's Cup Mushroom almost painted:


And one ready to base:

Until whenever. :clown:

More shades of band camp: That morel with the two bones looks like he's ready to lay down a mean drum solo!

Thanks, Fram. Being a Folk music Guy makes the connection fuzzy until it is pointed out to me...there are a lot of fuzzy things of late, but, now that you mention it, I can see a Battle of the Bands happening in the graveyard.

You are making a great progress!
These orange mushrooms with the red star are a must-see!
Cheers!

Thanks, Dinos! I am delighted you like the new stuff.
I am in the process of adding a face to Witch #4's cap/hat. I got the idea from a miniature Mini Bricks used in one of their videos. it should add a certain something creepy to the Girl.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

The Grateful Living Impaired vs The Stones aka The Stone Cold Dead. I am slowly getting used to the inevitability of the project.
A Pumpkinhead that resembles Jerry Garcia would be a challenge; Mick & Keith already look undead.

[syrinx0]

Mick & Keith already look undead.

Sure it's not more than looks? 

I can see it now... an stage in a graveyard with all the existing mushrooms... listening to the Battle of the bands.

I am not sure about Mick & Keith. They have looked like they were in the last stages of some hideous venereal disease for decades.
The audience could be interesting.

You can blame me if you like. 

[DeafNala]

You can blame me if you like. 

No blame involved, Fram; I am just easily led astray.
The Cup Mushroom with a bone in each hand reminds me of Buddy Rich.

Todays post are the new thingies I have ready for painting & basing: an updated Witch's cap, three new Mushrooms, & all the new supporting cast mushrooms. Nothing exciting, but progress nonetheless:
Domed bases ready for scenicing:


The new stuff awaiting painting:


The Witch's Cap has developed a personality:


Three new Mushrooms:






AND after finishing all the supporting cast mushrooms, I now have some more to do up:


Until whenever.
