Maudeheim & Environs, Part II: Updated 06/30/16

Thanks for the kind reply, folketsfiende....WELCOME HOME!    
Keeping busy keeps me out of trouble for the most part...mostly.   

To give you, my Fellow Forum Folk, a better idea what's happening in the Slums/Ghetto here's a quick tour of the 'hood (remember these are the foundations; there will be twisted, rickety, floor on top):

The long view:


...my steam punk door:


...adjoining stairs:


...going up:


...to the walkway/bridge:


...wandering the streets:


...we come to the other side of the walkway/bridge:


There now, you have a better idea what the place is like. Comments, as always, would be lovely.   

Love these fpv shots, really looking forward to more!

Thanks for the reply, theomar. Your feedback is GREATLY appreciated. Doing the pieces for Dr. J's sci fi board have given me all sorts of interesting ideas to apply to this one. I'm looking forward to the new developments too..lack of planning has its rewards.   

Wow , fantastic al, all those different views of the alleys, great!
Looks like this gamingboard will become one of the finest things i´ve seen been created by yourself, chapeau!

Thanks, Ben. I think you might enjoy where this is going; there is a something truly nuts about the whole thing.

There let me help you.

You will need lots of height to match the other boards....

...AND connecting walkways at each of the various levels that match the buildings in their state of decay. Even without opponents this could be a dangerous place to hangout. This will be keeping me busy for awhile.   

The "Steam Punk" door knob is very nice touch!

Thanks, Mr Ree...glad you like it!   

Really good    Nice cracked wall, cobblestone and door  

Thanks, Fat Rat! While there isn't much to photograph, the Slum progressed nicely today...I'm picking up momentum.   

The cracked walls and especially the cobblestones look great. I love the drains too!

Thanks for the kind reply, elde.   

I had a request for a How-To post from a Fellow on the Reaper Forum, SO, having given my word, here is a quick face run through...the face is supposed to look a bit like Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream:

First I drilled two shallow holes above the door, painted the holes black to protect the foam, &, once dry, glued in two beads for eye...they're looking down:


I then added a cone of Green Stuff between the eyes for the eyelids, nose, upper lip, & teeth:


next a ball of Green Stuff for the chin & lower lip:


then two balls for the cheeks & the outer edges of the eye sockets:


a couple of cones for the pointy ears & sideburns, a ball flanked by two cones for some spike hair:


AND voila; done:


A couple of shots to show how he looks in his present surroundings:






There you go; now you can add little touches to creep out your friends & loved ones...or not.   

Fantastic al! " It´s very rude to stare.......!" " WHAT?!   
Hurray for labyrinth, love it!

Thanks, Ben!    
I'm going for a Froudian/flodebollesque look.    

And i love it!  

Ha! Wonderful idea! "I don't like the look of this neighborhood..."

Great addition to the neighborhood    

Thanks for the kind replies, Guys. After sitting dormant for more than four years, the Old Place is starting to come to life...literally.   

I took a photo of one of the buildings from my W.I.P. Smugglers' Board that accidentally fit into one of the foundation. This is only to give an idea how the board will be going; there are a couple of points on it that don't match up. That aside, a taste of the future:



...now picture all the foundations with a rickety building of similar size; AND you'll have a idea where this is going.   

Remarkably amazing   
Right now it looks great   

That face and door and stuff. Wow! I was a bit hesitant when I first saw the eyes and the initial blobs of greenstuff, but it turned out amazing. A piece of stone the wall and a bit too much alive at the same time. And I really love the worn-down look you gave it.

The house looks really cool. Are you going to make a lot of pieces with that much height? Like a maze of towers and stairs to fall off of when crossbow bolts starts flying.

Thanks, Per. I've actually got a couple of Guys on L.A.M. who are going to give the face sculpt a try...I hope they have as much fun with it as moi.
The game plan is for all the foundations (11) to sport a building of roughly the same height...that one is 26" to the roof top with interconnecting walkways of dubious safety & questionable stability at various heights..daring do can not be done without something daring to do.
