Wow. You got a lot of stuff "in the wings". The mushrooms look great as usual. It is a damp drizzly April here. And my knees ache.

You wouldn't believe how much stuff I've accumulated over the years. Painting for other Folk meant that things I wanted to do for the joy of it all got backlogged. I figure I have about two thousand pieces or parts to make pieces. Cap'n John has nearly seven thousand fantasy & about the same in historical...if you need anything & I have it, it's yours.

I did some work on the Mushrooms. I will post photos a little later.

...later. The Big Blank Mushrooms got some attention. They are the next stage in evolution on steroids:

...a fine example of Mushroom dentistry:

...tomorrow should see the Lads getting green stuffed.
Pleasant dreams!

...now Green Stuffing, Stage I:

...with Leo "Legs-don't-fail-me-now" Sizechek for a size check:

...AND Green Stuffing Stage II, capping off the sculpts:

...next time they are seen, they should look a bit more colorful.

Thanks for the reply, woof!
The Folks on the reaper forum have taken to using a rather bland armored miniature for a size comparison. They call him Sir Forscale. I've had Leo waiting attention for quite awhile. He seems to show a proper appreciation for the situation. Having him running in terror from all sorts of Beasties is going to be fun...not for Leo, but the rest of us.

AND a ray of hope...sort of. Last week & yesterday I receive packages of WONDERFULLY crafted accessories from Daniel aka tauster of D.M's Craft & Paul aka Matakishi of Tea House Fame for some of my weird thingies. These are the ones from Daniel:

...these are Paul's BEAUTIFUL 3D creations:

...of such things Dreams are made.
AND, lest I forget, Tobias aka Comsquare sent me a Siren Miniatures Dwarf in a Mask, that I based up & am painting now:

...seen here with Leo doing his thing:

...the miniature inspired the base:

...Life is good, if you approach it correctly.

The painting part of the Siren Dwarf's base is done. Once the Dwarf is finished, it will get some grass tufts, a matye spray finish, a little dry brush on the tufts, & a gloss finish on the slimy ares & eyeball:

...there you go!

Thanks for the reply, Sam!
When I first saw this Guy, he looked like he'd match up size-wise with an Enigma Dwarf I have. He is actually pretty small. The mask & his diminutive stature give him a touch of the absurd or at the least a silly look. That, of course, works well with my approach to fantasy. I imagine him with Ogre Power from some magical source or other.

This is one of those miniatures that I wanted done. Ergo, it seemed to take forever. Nevertheless I finished the Siren Miniature Dwarf a little while ago & snapped some photos on the work table & a couple of spots around The Witches' Swamp.

Starting on the work table:

...seen here leaving Oozy Suzy's:

...by the Piranha Club:

AND an overview of the scene...this is my favorite photo of the shoot:

...there you go. Next I think I'll make some photo stages of Woods & Slums.

You know, I just realized I probably couldn't have a game session in one of your terrain sets.

Because I would just sit there and stare, dumbfounded, at the piece of art. Moving miniatures around in it and just using it as backdrop for a game is like being asked to crayon in a work of Picasso.

Thanks for the very kind reply, Daniel. I think you have more appreciation than most gamers would because you make your own FINE creations. Some of the terrain I made for a gaming store back on Long Island got pretty heavily mauled.
I am. of course, delighted you like the stuff.

Thanks, margaret. I am glad you like it...Stoned Hedge, that is. Here's a close up of the place:

I have several pages of photos of the place here:

...I haven't quite figured out how I want to present the newer photos.
