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

OH BABY!!!

Very well done!

Thanks for the OH BABY!!!, Jim. I am glad you liked the Beasty.

SO I did up a pair of Mushrooms, one good & one bad, neither anything exceptional, but I figured they would be an excuse to visit The Mushroom Forest. It has been a while:














The Big Guy in the forest:


There you go!

ya know DN, I'm not easily making the call between the good and bad mushrooms (and that's how it should be, relatively speaking ), but what a treat to see the mushroom forest board / backdrop too!
Fabulous.

Thanks for the reply, Harrocks. I am glad you like it. The Mushroom Forest stage has gotten very little use after the Spooky Woods was made. I am glad you like it.
The background Mushrooms were fun to do. The Big Mushroom initially was mounted on the board. I made him a free standing piece to make more room for photos.

Sweet!  Love those stages of yours for atmosphere!

Merry Christmas Al

Thanks, Jim. I am happy you like the stuff!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Mushroom Box called & now there is a new batch of Mushrooms awaiting Green Stuffing:




Plus four:


Of course, there will be little mushrooms to go along with their big brothers & other distractions.

This past weekend, in addition to doing sixty or seventy small(er) mushrooms, I dismantled The Blight board; re, it was not going to get done as it stood & had limited photographic uses. SO I now have a bunch of buildings that will be rebased & repurposed. The two pretty much finished ones are getting new bases right away:


This is S. White's Consortium House:


The little shed is where the Leprechaun's Owl lives:


This is the Liche's House from the side:


It has some interior detailing:


AND occupants:




Things are developing.  

I've kind of caught the tail-ends of your 'blight board' saga on LAF without really being clued in - so a shame it's ended in a cul-de-sac, but those buildings are just ... fabulous. There's no other word, in every sense.

looking forward to seeing your re-purposing.

I wish a) you were in the UK and b) you allowed guided tours around your gaffe

The board was originally going to be part of the Mordheim boards I made for my erstwhile friend, Mack, just before I moved here in 2010.SO after eight years & still in the works, although mostly built, I called it a bust. I think that all the buildings will get done now.

Living in Great Britain would be wonderful...especially during the Trump administration/affliction. I have invited numerous folks to stop by & see my stuff, but no takers other than those brought over by Neighbor Tom. If you ever find yourself in the Austin area, you will have to stop by, Harrocks.

Be careful DN - I've got a cousin living in Austin!!
but not much chance of a visit tbh

one thing I love about your buildings now you've mentioned Mordheim, is that they're the 'right' scale - not being modelling-tastic myself, I've had an ongoing dialogue with various suppliers of MDF kits etc as to whether they could supply 'bigged-up' versions of their wares, but it's too difficult apparently, even in these soft-wared days.

I did kind of sort things, buy buying up rather a large number of german made kid's constructions toys (forget the make at this point) which are more the kind of size - although they'd need a lot of embellishing to look 'fantastical' etc - not sure I'll ever get 'round to doing it ...
I have all the original cardboard GW buildings tho' ...  

as per old Trumpy-baby - not sure you'd find it much better here these days.

I'm about an hour West of Austin if there is a family reunion in the cards.
I made the floor to ceiling height large enough that I could get my hand inside. It's more convenience than scale.

ah, right - fair do's

SO I did some work on the Mushroom Box. There are 60+ new small mushrooms & the more personable Mushrooms have received green stuff attention:


AND one of the Mushrooms is now a finished sculpt:




Two more were completed after the pics were taken. They will show up eventually.  

I really quite like that mushroom forest- what a great terrain piece it would be.

I was looking at all the Mushrooms I have inhabiting cases & lurking i storage. I could fill a nice size gaming board with all the stuff. I will have to do a mass photo someday. Thanks for the reply, Codsticker.

Later the same day:




While there may not be more photos today, work will be progressing.

The State of the Mushrooms this morning:






More later...or not.

Wow! That is a lot of shrooms!

Nine done/sculpted & twelve to go. Of course, then there is basing & painting & stuff to do.
Thanks for the reply, Jim. Enjoy the weekend!

AND two more & a touch up done with some waiting in the wings:




The fellow in the middle got a fuller look to his face; the flankers are new:


Have a good night!

When I reluctantly called it a day last night, this is where the Mushroom Box stood:


The four latest additions:




AND the day stretches out before us...so to speak.

AND later the same day, it's a wrap. The last six or possibly seven are sculpted:




...with an overview of The Box:


Have a good night!

they look fantastic DN. What character.
