Maudeheim & Environs, Part III: Updated 04/29/24

Haha great! Just the touch it needed to make it perfect!

Thanks, Gatlag. I am glad you approve.
I have the eyes & water painted now. The reeds are underway. This can only mean that there will be photos...eventually.

Yesterday I painted the watery areas of the base, the reeds, & the creepy eyes:






with a closer look at the creepy eyes:


More whenever.  

Wow! You just keep on going an going! An update a day, just like a steam train!
Nice update, I'd consider this one done right? You already have a new build in your head?

Thanks, Gatlag. It is getting close. I still have to do the faces in the window, the door knocker, & some detailing. When that is done, then I will do a spray finish on the whole thing, & a gloss finish on the watery parts. I will probably do minis for the place as well.
I have some ideas for more buildings, a partially sunken tower, a forgotten shrine, & LOTS of trees of various types.
Today , however, I am dragging along.

Ah ok, so still lots to do! I was a bit too optimistic.

I was delighted that the thing looks good enough to you that you thought is was done. Thanks, Gatlag; that is probably the best compliment I have ever received.

No prob, well deserved!

Thanks, Gatlag!

I added a new level of creepiness to the little hummock by the Swamp House; i.e., a carnivorous plant aka The Garbage Disposal Unit:








The Plant is one of the 3D sculpts from matakishi, which he kindly gave me for some of my Mushrooms.
ore whenever!  

Great addition! Always handy to keep Flesh-rating plant around!

Great addition! Always handy to keep Flesh-eating plant around!

Thanks, Gatlag. I am glad you like the carnivorous plant. I wasn't sure it looked right. but I grow on you after a bit.

Ooo, another great project DN! I really like the addition of Audrey II there....

How long should we expect the smell from this swamp to last? Is it an eternal sort of stink?

Thanks, Rhydderch. I am glad you like the new stuff. The Bog of Eternal Stench is a fine source of inspiration. I had forgotten about that; I can see bursting bubble of swamp gas in my future.

once againg ur shrooms are super lovley! U kinda infected me with the shroom fever. Mushrooms are perfect do give some colourful detail!

Thanks, PJB. I am happy you like them. Have fun making your own...advice on request!

After some aches & pains delays, I am all tooled up & ready to start knocking things out again.
I have a group of Swamp Trees & a Zealot Miniatures Shrine underway:






More whenever.

WOW Al, great job on the Baba Yaga Style House!
Well, thats the first thing that came to my mind when i saw it^^
The Eye is quite disturbing, but my fav are those checked curtains!!!!

Thanks, Ben! It is nice to see you back on Tom's; you have been missed. I am happy you like the new stuff.

I finally finished twisting the branches on Tree #1.






You can get a better idea of just how many branches are involved from the top view:




Doing the clay sculpt on the trunk & larger branches & glue gun teasing the smaller branches & roots is next. This one will be getting a face as well. Then there will be another eleven or so trees to make...sigh.

I finally had some stuff to photograph. Tree #2 has all its branches twisted & Tree #3 is on its way. The Shrine is now base coated as well:




I also have the understructure for Tiltin'Town, a Howl's Moving Castle inspired bit of Swamp scenery:








More whenever.

I got some work done on The Swamp scenery this past weekend. Trees #2 & #3 got the hot glue treatment to their roots:








AND the conical roofs on the towers got flared eaves:


More whenever.

It's been a while since I have been able to log on here; I am thrilled to see you are still rockin' and rollin' DN. I love that building; the dark daub with the staining around the cracks just looks superb.

WELCOME BACK, Codsticker. You have been missed.
I am delighted you like the new stuff. I will keep at it for as long as I am above ground.
