Maudeheim & Environs, Part III: Updated 04/17/24

Yesterday I added a couple of smokestacks:




AND another clockwork door mechanism:


The place is starting to look more complete. Just a couple of more doors to do & more details:


Until later...whenever that is.

Love the labratory! Looking forward to see more!

Thanks, Jim. I am happy you like it. There will be more. I tried mounting the isle on a larger base & adding a fourth building. a dock, & a walkway. The base warped. SO I put the fourth building on its own isle connected to the original isle by the walkway. A fifth building be building is underway & will be joining the fourth. Photos forthcoming.

I had an idea for adding a fourth building & a dock to the isle, It would need a larger base:


Unfortunately the base warped. Not wanting to waste the building, I thought a second isle would was just the thing. With all that extra room, a fifth building would work out splendidly:










Now I think a dock & maybe a little lighthouse would look nice. I think I am coming up to speed...& losing my mind such as it is.  

Great addition! I like the organic growth of the piece!

Thanks, Gatlag...glad you like it. Impromptu/lack of planning leads to some exciting & unexpected results.

Yes indeed it does! And I imagine it's more like the way it would go if it was really build by a (mad) scientist.
"My labratory needs some expansion for my creations!"

So true. Plus the Witches tend to use Goblin labor. Goblins are not renowned for their foresight or attention span.

Hahaha so true!

The new isle got cobble stoned, covered with sand where appropriate, painted black, & dry brushed white. The window & doors started getting framed & cut out:














Until whenever.

Looking good!

Thanks, Gatlag! Yesterday I added more windows. Today I will try to do the doors * some details.

I got some work done on the second isle over the past few days:










More to come...eventually.

Getting better and better! Did not notice the drainage pipe in the base earlier (or was it added later?, it's those details that make a piece!

Thanks, Gatlag...glad you like it. The drain pipe has been there for awhile. You are not the only one to suddenly notice it. It is finding little details that make it fun.

Not exactly earth shaking progress, but I added a lower entrance, dock, & a couple of windows to Isle #2:








The door will get a clockwork mechanism soon...whenever that is. Then more docks & the start of the walkways.

AND the clockwork door mechanism is done:




YET ANOTHER step forward...kind of!

Its so nice to see these updates on a PC screen instead of a phone. Nice work Amigo!

Thanks, Jim. I am delighted you have returned & are enjoying my stuff.

Can't do without a clockwork door mechanism! Nice update!

I am hooked on steam punk touches. I am glad you like it, Gutlag!

I finally based up & base coated Toil & Trouble with their Cauldron. They will be the first residents.
That's Trouble with Toil in the background:


Trouble:


Toil & Cauldron:




W.I.P. pics are wonderful at pointing out little errors. The Camera of Continual Contrariness pointed out a mold line on The Cauldron which I have since removed.
More whenever.

Quite handy indeed to make some WIP pics!
Nice models that duo Toil & Trouble, where are they from?

Toil & Trouble are from Northumbrian Tin Soldiers. Here's how they look painted up:


They are wonderfully whimsical miniatures.

They are indeed very nice!
