As always, I like the bright and vibrant colors you use on your minis, very nice.

Thank you, skunkape. I am happy you like my bright colors. I sometimes wonder if I have gone overboard.

I finally sorted out all the packed up painted things from the move North. I know pretty much where everything is now AND I finished touching up & repairing those few things that were damaged in the move. Snow White's Recreational Potions (drug consortium) got the tall chimney repaired:

A few more photos of the place:

The Grim Reaper Mushroom got a right arm replacement & Leo Sizechekz, my size comparison mini, got a new coat & pants stripes:

Now on to new thing...eventually.

In the sorting I found some Mushrooms that had been painted but never based. SO I based up two that reminded me of American Gothic:

The Swamp Thing is done now. He seems a little camera shy:

The largest of the mushrooms also got some attention:

There you go.

SO my latest obsession/project is making swamp stuff. Beyond the trees dripping Spanish moss, reeds. & other swampy flora & fauna, I am thinking of dilapidate structures perched on hummocks, connecting boardwalks, maybe a partially sunken tower or two jutting out of the muck, & things like that.
I had a building that I had made & primed a few years ago. I started adding some color on Thursday:

Every building needs some bloodshot eye peering out of a rat hole:

It's blurry, but this gives s general idea of the back of the place:

& the side:

Yesterday I finished the plaster/brick, dry brushed the roof, did the metalwork, AND added faces & curtains to the faces & curtains to the window...photos forthcoming.

Things have been coming along; i.e., the swamp house has gotten a bit more colorful & decidedly stranger:

There are now W.I.P. faces & drapes in the windows:

The Snow White Recreational Potion Gang is now based, converted, & ready for some color:

With some Spook Shields:

AND another Troll & Bat Girl (succubus):

Until whenever.

The latest digression is a Witch/Sorcerer Frog inspired/stolen from Caroline McFarland-Watts' Tall Tales Production; a frog in a witch's hat:

The frog is a little plastic thing I got from Michael's. The hat & frog face are mine.

Thanks, margaret. I was pleasantly surprised the the building survived as well as they did. AND I am delighted you love the Frog. I have another one from the pack that wants attention now.

The Swamp House is now based up:

AND The Snow White Gang got their bases painted:

Until whenever.

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!

Love it! Cheers!

Laughter is the ultimate expression of joy. Laughing at the antics of a 2-year-old child is not demeaning or degrading, it is your heart boiling over with joy, and laughter is the path of least resistance for it to escape! Let it out, laugh easy, laugh loudly, laugh as often as you can. Keeping it bottled up inside is a leading cause of stroke among uptight people around the Globe... Laughter is contagious -- let's start a new pandemic!
