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

Thanks, Codsticker. Do give them a try. Making trees is rather addictive though. If you have any questions on how something is done, I will be happy to answer them. Heres some other ideas on tree making from L.A.F.:

...cool stuff, eh?

I did make a dead tree for my Mordheim project, but that link has given me some good ideas- thanks fro that.

My pleasure, Codsticker. There are some things in that thread I am going to try myself. It is a good source of inspiration.

AND now the finished Spooky Woods Photo Stage:










...with the foreground pieces removed there is more room for miniatures & some different angle are possible:






...FINALLY two Brave Goblins volunteered to be The First Folk photographed in The Woods.
They are Bwana Bateye & his Loyal Henchperson, Beastly Burden:







...there now, that wasn't so bad was it? I do hope you enjoyed the trip.  

Awesome work!

Thanks, Codsticker! I am glad you like the stage, AND the positive feedback is good for morale.
Now I'm thinking of Street Scene Stage...this may be taking over my life such as it is.

Love the woods stage, er, set er, woods!

Bwana is pretty cool too!

Thanks, Jim I am happy you like the whatever.  
Bwana & his associates were the volunteers for a photo shoot in the first Spooky Woods board, the one by Heep's place.
This is the entire Hunting Party:


...with Percy, Scratch, & Rosin the Bow in the rear:

Vivid colors, unique style!
It's always a pleasure to see your scenery.

Thanks for the kind reply, Kibo. I was just admiring your terrain pieces. I am happy you like the stuff...especially the bright colors.

Fantastic stuff -- both the photo set & goblin hunting party. Though I am a bit jealous your photo backdrops are so much nicer than my game boards... Ah well, more work for me!

Bwana really looks like he's just realised one of the trees is going to eat him.

Thanks for the kind reply, Rhydderch. I am glad you like the stuff.
The thing with game boards is that you have to make concessions to detail to make them usable for the games. Pushing the limits is an enjoyable activity though.  
The possibility of being some larger creatures lunch is a part of life for Goblin kind.  

Your Spooky Wood looks great!!

Thanks, Dragonhunter. I am glad you like it.

SO somewhere in the middle of the night a thought intruded its way into my dreams that The Mushroom Forest NEEDED to be made more useful. This entailed removing the big central Mushroom & basing it separately. To avoid a recurrence of the dream suggestion, I did just that. Here is the result:


With the Mushroom now stage right & left:




Some more ambulatory Mushrooms volunteered to pose in the new setting:










AND I have a couple of Creepy Trees in the works. This is the first one from a couple days ago:




With the second one added & both progressing:


With baseball season winding down & the somewhat lower temperatures, I am starting to pick up speed...slowly.

I like the re-vamped mushroom forest.

Is that Sculpey you are laying over that wire tree frame? I have used it before but I had a hard time getting it to stick.

Thanks, Codsticker...glad you like it! The gray stuff is Master Plumber's Epoxy Putty. That's my main terrain putty.

I will have to keep an eye for that.

I should have mentioned that it is available from Ace & True Value Hardware Stores; it's a stock item.

Plodding along through the Spooky Woods project, I finished twisting the wires on the first two Trees, did some hot glue coating/texturing, & sculpted the air clay bark on Tree #1..you will observe there is now a Tree #3 in the works:








AND, awhile after the first photos, the clay had dried hard enough to handle. SO I did the face on Tree #1:




That does it for today. Have a FUN evening!

I love them!

Thanks, Codsticker. I am glad you feel that way.

Nice progress on the Mushroom Forest since I last checked and the trees look just fine!

Thanks for the reply, Grimscull. I am happy you like the stuff. The Trees may lead to another photo stage eventually...I'm hoping for a productive Winter.

Your trees are gorgeous! You are a master wires twister
