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

SO I was rather productive today; i.e., I did the doors, added the chimney pipes, tiled the roof, & did my white over black base coat:












...AND on the board:








...ON TO #5!
That will be tomorrow. I also went for the larger case for the Swamp Thing:






...that wraps it for today!  

As threatened, Building #5, starting with views of each side & closeups of doors & points of interest:










...before the base coat:


...AND after:








Now a few photos of the new addition on location in The Blight:










Next up will either be Building #6 of 11 or window treatments...possibly both.  

I like the odd angles and appropriate masonry stress fractures of #6. I’m so used to seeing all those spooky faces on your buildings that I’m even seeing ones that I’m not sure are intentional like on pic number eight of your last post just above the exposed bricks on the left side. Maybe just too much coffee. The doors are unique and creative (love the submarine hatch handles). Those angled pics make for some great eye candy. Lastly, to sound like a broken record… more Swamp Thing!

Thanks for the reply, Doc...glad you like it. 
You're not alone; i.e., a few other Folk have started seeing faces that aren't there...surrealistic suggestion.
I couldn't decide what to work on today. SO I made a couple of Mushrooms that might like life in The Swamp.  

Great update, even though I don't think I have seen a bad update....
Love the texture of the plaster.

Thanks, Jim. It's cooking along nicely. The texture is for the most part natural to the foam with a little assistance from Woodland Scenic's Foam Putty.  

While I was figuring out the next two buildings for The Blight, I had nothing to keep my hands & eyes occupied, ERGO, I made some more Mushrooms. While working on the one seen on the far left, its cocktail stick armature snapped; the fix left the Little Guy with more animation than normal. It looked cool to moi; SO I tried it on the rest of the Guys...except the armless ones:












...you never outgrow your need for fungus...so to speak.  

AND what I was thinking about while I making Mushrooms was the ruined upper stories of Building #6 (#7 will be the one with the currently pick top). Now I have a good idea what it will eventually look like. This is what is for sure:

 
...the third floor floor:

 
...the second floor & below:

 
...sweet dreams.  

Cool stuff Al! Loving the variety of shrooms.

Thanks, Jim. The things I do with Green Stuff: Mushrooms, Flowers, Spooky Trees are the things I enjoy the most. I'm glad you enjoy them also.  

After much gnashing of teeth metaphoricaly & some expressions that the clergy don not know, I have Building #6 (The Hungry Eye) all done up in black & white.For ease of painting, I have the Beasty in pieces that fit well enough together that for the time being no gluing is required. SO it's photos time:
The interior of the upper floors:




...the stair well exterior:


...& interior:


...The Thing on the Ground Floor...insert B Horror Movie theme music here:




...the front door (this is going to be partially boarded up, but not enough to hide The Face:




...AND in its place in The Blight:














...there now, it wasn't that bad.  

The Blight is coming along amazingly strong! You consistently churn out creativity like a machine. Steam driven, of course. The way you built the ruins to showcase that eye peering hole in the floor is impressive. The newly, initially accidental, animated morels are a definite improvement. The little guy on the far left who started the new movement, literally and figuratively speaking, reminds me of an old cartoon/costumed character I can’t quite place. First I’m seeing faces in your buildings that aren’t there and now I’m fixated on a mushroom face with some yet unidentifiable link to my childhood. Dammit Alan! Your work is driving me normal!

FIGHT IT! First it's normal; then it's a fondness for Trump or Mussolini...take your pick. HOWEVER, I'm glad you like the stuff, Doc.  

Well said brother. Keep up the great craft.

Wow! And OH BABY!

The ground floor is pretty creepy

Thanks for the enthusiastic response, Jim.
The creepiness factor will increase with the details.  

The top of The Watch's Tower is now all primed & ready for paint & detailing:


...with a closeup for the door fanciers in the group:




...another door:








This is how it will fit in with the rest of The Blight Tenements:








...yet another door:


AND an overview of The Blight to date:






...four more comparatively small hovels to do, then it's on to the REALLY FUN STUFF! OH BABY!  

Each structure is a work of art in itself but when seen together in all their odd angled glory it’s mesmerizing. I’ve read enough of your posted works both here and on LAF to realize that your art can often be best complimented with just two words, so here it goes. OH BABY!

Thanks for the kind reply, Doc...glad you like the stuff.
I'm REALLY hoping the enthusiasm holds up long enough to finish the thing.  

The remaining buildings have been blocked out; i.e., I've done their basic shapes. This will give you an idea what the finished piece will look like...at least an image of just how crowded it is.










AND a couple of overhead shots:




...getting there is more than half the FUN!  

I love this neighborhood! Oh BABY!

Thanks, Jim. I'm glad you like it.  
The 'hood has developed a personality even with out the denizens.  

Not crowded, but aesthetically crowd full. So who are the denizens going to be?

Thanks, Doc. I have a few different Gangs in mind. S. White's Drug Consortium & Seedy Johann Apfel's Undead Assassins for two.  

I envision mad, slovenly dwarfs stumbling across The Blight while being stalked by ghouls and zombies carrying casks of hard cider wearing cooking pots for hats. Looking forward to seeing what your imagination comes up with.
