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

Can you really have too many shrooms?  Or even enough?

Do you buy green stuff by the pound?

The Little Fungi Fellow do grow on you...so to speak. I figure between Rapunzel's & The Swamp, I'll be using a fair number of the Guys.I approach the pound mark whenever I order more G.S., I'll be getting a new order off by Monday which will have a 1/2 pound included.  

uuhhh great, more of those fellas, love them al, now slap on that paint!

Thanks, Ben! 

I sculpted a couple more & added arms to the flat capped Mushrooms. All the stems are done & those that are ready for paint have been prepped. There are six more faces to do; then on to the colors!

More photos later...if the Internet stay operable.  

...later. The Gang:




...with some closeups of the smaller ones & the Clarabellas:




...the Mushrooms with the arms (G.W. plastic Ghoul & Zombie arms that is):




AND the first of today's:


Since the photos were taken I did two more of the Faces & seven little, normal(?) mushrooms...more later or not.  

I love how well the zombie arms fit with the shrooms. Great work!

Thanks, Jim. The Zombies are one of G.W.'s boxed sets that I buy just for the parts. The hands are BEAUTIFULLY sculpted.  

AND the last six Mushrooms are sculpted & will be prepped tonight or early tomorrow:




...using up the excess Green Stuff yielded these more normal Mushrooms:


...that will wrap it up for today...probably.  

Very productive day!

On a side note, the Twins have won ten games! Ten! They may even finally have a pitcher who has won 2...
Long season ahead.

The Twins were LOOKIN' GOOD this weekend...very much like their old selves.  

Super productive and looking fantastic!! How long does it take per shroom?

Thanks, Chief Tugboat...glad you like the Guys.  
I'm not really sure how long it takes per Mushroom. The plumber's epoxy putty dries quickly; so the    body of the each has to be done in under ten minutes...I usually do a few caps at a time; then their stems. Next I do a light sanding, drill the holes for the beads, & mount them...a couple of minutes per mushroom. The Green Stuff takes longer. I do the stems & let the cure. Then the caps/faces..that can take up to a half hour per mushroom, depending on how well the Green Stuff is working. It takes about two to three hours for the Green Stuff to cure.

AND now the last of this batch of Mushrooms is all prepped & ready for some color:


...the whole Gang, old & new staring at moi:




...more soon...eventually!  

Their eyes! Their eyes follow me! AAAAAA!!!!!

That is a scary lot of shrooms there.

The mass effect is pretty spooky though. AND the eyes really seem to follow you. It's probably the hole in the bead...or not.  

The first two of the Spring Mushrooms are painted:


...does this one remind you of The Donald?:


...AND the other one:


...there you go.  

Excellent work my friend, excellent...

Thanks for the kind reply, Rat! I'm delighted you like them!  

I'm getting a Nixon vibe from the first one. Could be the camera angle though.

It's probably the nose that accounts for a Nixon-esque effect.  

...which brings us to the next one...







 
...there you have it...until later.

I really like the blue caps a lot.

The nose & the jowls match up. Considering what they grow mushrooms in, it is no wonder they resemble politicos.  
I reality the blue is closer to purple, but I'm glad you like it anyway.  

Sat what's that? New house, ain't it?...RUN!:


I finished Hovel #4 a little while ago. We're getting there OH SOOO SLOOOWLY, but getting there nonetheless:










AND The Village to date:




...there we go!  

Love it! The colors and textures are just perfect.
