Maudeheim & Environs, Part III: Updated 06/14/20

Thanks, Harrock...glad you like them.

All the Mushrooms & the mushrooms are now sporting white over black base coats:








Garish colors & bases are next.

a ghostly looking bunch at the moment, DN.
looking forward to seeing them painted up.

They do look spooky, but it is easier to see the faces...that may or may not be a plus.

One of the fellows on the Reaper Forum mentioned the arms I sometimes add to the Mushrooms...he thought there should be more of them. The ones I use are the bare arms from the plastic G.W. Zombies & Ghouls. The numbers I have are rather limited. THEN it occurred to me that I could make my own arms & add the G.W. hands...making hand is one of those things I am working on. The results:








I'll see how well it paints up later today...probably.  

they're brilliant. Nice work.

I agree- a good idea well executed.

Thanks for the replies, Harrocks & Codsticker. I am glad you like him/them.
As a bonus, the arms are poseable.  

There is a new one with arms in The Box:

he's showing us his moves

...not exactly John Travolta, but not bad for a Mushroom.

Nice work on the arms, they look good! & I don't blame you for wariness of hands -- enough professional sculptors struggle with those...

Thanks, Rhydderch. I am glad you like the stuff. I have had some success with larger hands, but those for the 28 mm Fellows are still a work in progress.

the hands look great to me - really well done, not the usual sausage-fingered jobs.

Thanks, Harrocks. These hands are from G.W's plastic Zombies. I think they are the most beautiful hands made in this scale. They are what I am using as models for my own attempts. The arms are mine however.

oh right  - oops!
you can't really fault GW on the technical side.

your arms complement them perfectly - hands down.

OH BABY!!!!

So many shrooms

Thanks, Harrocks. I would love to be able to make hands like that...someday maybe. I am glad you like the arms.

Thanks, Jim. I have a few others I am doing for a Reaper Girl. Mushrooms are my thing.

With a Mushroom(s) Sampler sent off, & the Troll finished, I started back on the Mushroom box Thursday. By last night the last of them was based & primed.
Two more got arms:




The last of the Mushroom are based & awaiting embellishments & base coats:




AND last night they were ready for some color:




There you go.  

what a superb ensemble.
as ever, they look fantastic at the 'black and white' stage - but looking forward to seeing 'em painted up.

There are time that I have been tempted to just leave them in black & white. Fortunately this isn't one of those times. Thanks for the reply, Harrocks!

The most sinister of the new batch of Mushrooms got an added touch of creepiness last night with some tentacles & another pair of arms:




Nothing says creepy quite like tentacles.

too right - you're def. taking em further towards the dark side.

Thanks, Harrocks. I am glad you find them sinister as well.

Creepy

Loving it
