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

The lighting and angles on those pics really showcases your outstanding work. Excellent!

Thanks, Doc...glad you like them. The colors in the photos re pretty close to reality.  

The Board is finally getting some color. I did the rock facing, AND the paving stones, cobblestones, & slimy areas have their base coats applied:





 
...now on to the highlighting et al!  

Great! So much more exciting than those endless gray tables

Thanks, Jim. Monochromatic may be dramatic, but color lives...AND gaudy is my thing.  

Oh man, I am excited to see the whole scene complete!! Great work on the cobble stones and as always your shrooms are spectacular! Good luck with the highlighting.

Thanks for the kind reply, Chief! It's coming along nicely. I have the Gate/Walkway in place.
The paving/cobblestones & slime will look like the base on this Hovel:



...to give you an idea what the rest of the board will look like.  

SO now The Board is in full, mind boggling color:


...with the various buildings:




















The Board will get the Mushroom & grass-growing-through-the-cracks treatment along with a gloss finish to the slime, but the colors are done.  

Fantastico Alan, fantastico...

Thanks, Rat. I'm delighted you like it!  

Well that was odd, I clicked on Mr Rat's comment to reply to and ended up looking at an old post in a locked thread...dodeedodee...

Anyway this is a gorgeous slum! I can't wait for the slime!

That is the automatic cut off for threads in action. Sometime after a thread goes over 40 pages, the Forum will, of its own volition, close the thread at page 40 & open a new thread with the last few pages as the start. You will note this is now Part III.

Why now that you mention it, we ARE in part III. Usually sequels aren't as good as the original. Good job!

Will there be Ewoks?

I doubt there will be Ewoks; Gremlins are a more likely possibility.  

The latest addition to The Village, Mother Pringle's Amulets, Charms, & Recreational Potions, is now all painter & ready for mounting...or open for business depending on your perspective:








...some of the recreation potion:


...uncovered for a better(?) view:


...around back with Mother Pringle in the window...so to speak:




AND in The Village:








...NOW on to the Observatory...probably.  

SO, after much agonizing over colors & such, I finally have the Steam Punk Observatory underway:








This one of those awkward, fiddly detailed pieces that take forever to paint. I hope that posting photos will keep me going...maybe.  

Your color schemes are superb, never gaudy. You definitely have a surrealistic style all your own. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

Thanks for the reply, Doc. I appreciate the morale boost, AND I'm glad you are enjoy the stuff.  

Topious notchous, as ever al, love the square!

Thanks for the reply, Ben...glad you like it!  

You got lots of work accomplished amigo! Its looking great. The observatory thingy is painting up nicely.

WELCOME HOME! 
I've been keeping myself busy for the most part. The Observatory is one of those pieces that is hard to keep enthusiastic about...it is basically a pain to work on & the end never seems insight. I think it will finish off The Village portion of The Twisted Tower Board nicely, but just getting it done will be THE highlight of The Project.
All that aside, I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the reply, Jim!  

The vat of green goo and body parts looks incredible! I really need to get some beads one of these days. The observatory does look like it will take some time, but I feel it's the kind of piece that will really stand out when finished! Keep up the hard work, everything looks great so far!

Thanks for the reply, Chief. I'm delighted you like the stuff & goo!  
One of the problems with an attention grabber is that it will attract as much attention if poorly done as it will if painted to perfection. So far the Observatory is coming along fairly nicely. I have high hopes for it.   
Do checkout the beads & other jewelry things; they have all sorts of uses.

I wasn't going to post anymore photos of The Observatory, but one of the Fellows from the Reaper Forum needed to see further W.I.P.. SO:








...there you go. All the base colors are on plus some highlight is done.
