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

Very productive!The Blight is coming together very nicely.

Thanks, Codsticker. It is coming along although slowly. I am glad you like the progress.

Today Tree #2 got some attention in the form of a layer of textured/teased hot glue & a coating/sculpting layer of air dry clay (Premier):




The clay is drying nicely. Once it's hard, I'll hit it with a spray of Workable Fixative (Krylon); then it's paint time.

I really do like the trees- I am going to have a crack at making them.

Good for you. They are a lot of fun to make & not all that difficult. Have FUN with them!

Now there are two Trees all base coated with some mushrooms for company & ready to paint:










Until whenever.

Good work on the trees

Thanks, Jim. I am glad you like them thus far.

AND as the day come to a screeching halt..more or less, I have added some shelf mushrooms to the Trees:






Have a pleasant evening!

Oh yeah- the shelf fungi are a very nice touch.

Thanks, Codsticker. I am glad you like them. There is a push by some fellows on other fora to give them little faces. This batch will stay faceless...I think.

So far today I have added some wire branches & done some green stuffing to Tree #3.
The Face is pretty much done...green stuff-wise that is:






Until the Kneadatite dries....

...later the same day, while I was hot glue coating the branches, I did up a Little Monk to live under some of the roots:

Taking a step backward to put the Monk in size perspective to the Tree:


He is a towering 10mm tall.

Small monk or big tree? Either way he should probably stay clear of those teeth... Great weird stuff as always!

Thanks for the reply, Rhydderch. It is a case of both a Big Tree & a Little Monk; they seem to go together.

The branches are now hot glued & the trunk has a sculpted coating of DAS air dry clay. In 36 hours it will be ready for some paint. SO here's what Tree #3 looks like now:






AND the Little Monk got a touch up:


Until whenever...

Ohh! Whatever that white thingy is, it looks like an upside down crescent moon seen through the branches. Creepy

That is my florescent lamp. It's one of those ones that at one time had a magnifying lens in the center...the lens was a distant memory when John gave me the lamp. I have my camera set for florescent light & I shoot through the magnifying lens hole. It's a strange arrangement, but it works for me.
The crescent moon is a nice little bonus effect. It does look suitably creepy.

This weekend proved to be pretty productive. Tree # 3 is now base coated & ready for some paint:










Tree #3's accessory pieces/friends:


The Three Trees:


While I was waiting for various things to dry, I based up a Moor Troll (Dudley):




AND converted & based my Halloween present to myself, a former Giant Skeletal Mouse, now a Zombie Giant Mouse. The coversion was deemed necessary due to the skeleton having ears & a nose:








There you have it.

That is some great sculpting DN! I look forward to seeing them in some paint.

Thanks for the morale boost, Codsticker. I'm looking forward to the painting as well.

Love the trees

Thanks, Jim. I am glad you do.

Some nice progress since I last visited. I am looking forward to seeing the Trees, Troll and Skeletal Mouse being painted!

Thanks for the kind reply, Grim. I am looking forward to the painting also.

The first of The Tree Trees is done other than the possible addition of Spanish moss:






AND The Three Trees thus far:


Until later...
