Great stuff! The washes definitely made the horses less plastic-looking. The skull is impressive - but it's the bat swarms I like best! Got to try that myself - I think I have some of those rings...

The next swarm I am going to try wire mounting to see how that looks.

Love the vampire teeth pool! Brilliant idea -- and properly creepy, and disturbing, as well! Nice wagon construct! Cheers!

There is some good old fashioned crafting there!
Digging the skull ring!
I dislike painting horses after finishing 40+ 15mm knights, kudos to your efforts!

Nice work. I would suggest painting the bottoms of the bases with PVA Glue, laying them on edge to dry; let them dry on either wax paper, or parchment paper, as it will not stick (much) to either one, peeling away relatively easily. It should help warp the bases back to flat, assuming that you applied the top-side sand using PVA Glue? Cheers!

The wood bases are a bit warped to start with... so that is a problem... I will try the paper out. Tried picking up pledge, I will have to go farther... apparently there was a run on that cleaning supply and the stores closet to me are sold out. I am so done with the panic shoppers and hoarders in my Village... Salt and Vinegar chips too. At least they stopped panic buying all the Vegetarian canned beans and Tofu... they were not even vegetarian they were just afraid of getting COVID from pork and beans and chicken. Sigh. I am using the good Elmers 50/50 and putting a second layer of the glue mix on top of the sand. Then I seal the figure... which is scheduled for this weekend. Anyway I am using commercial washes and better paints on the above skeletons and on these I started repair work on or just started... the Ral Partha were all unwanted minis we adopted years ago and have been languishing in boxes. So this is just the first few stages... the two skeletons in the group are modern plastic The unicorn has a rider that is just an ugly glob of paint so I will be spending time tomorrow stripping her. As you guys can see I just started these.

The hoarding of toilet paper is still making me laugh! "The sky is falling, Chicken Little! The sky is falling! Buy up as much TP as you can get -- forget about food! Buy more TP!!!" What will they do with their 4-year supply of TP?... Hopefully they will watch DM Scotty's crafting videos, and build gaming terrain! LOL! There are numerous versions of Future/Pledge Floor Polish. See what they have, and if it says it is for restoring shine to floors, it will likely work. It is basically acrylic medium, without any pigment. You can add in acrylic paints, alcohol-based inks/dyes, or even water-based inks/dyes to it. All will work. Cheers!

Head spinning a bit here - a very impressive set of Evil Temple décor - and then we have … a giant mushroom gnome village!

I have not been posting because of my health… I caught Covid even though I was “fully” vaccinated, then had to work suffering from long term health effects of Covid, then I reacted terribly to Booster shot while lungs still healing and still working, and now because lungs never healed right getting sicker… my Taekwondo training is on hold this whole month while working and this last week just took me down… so all crafting and RPG has been on hold… I have been too exhausted for months to do anything more than work, and take care of family… basically exhausted. I am trying to breathe and home ill on Vacation (thank God I have vacation this week… just got retested for everything…waiting on results) so I cracked open Dark Sun 2E Reprint… oh I never played in that setting back in the day… and now I have to make it happen, the setting is basically D&D Dying Mars some of my favorite old scifi novels are set on Barsoom (ERBs Dying Mars) and similar worlds…
So I will start crafting again this weekend… honestly though the suggested 5e psionics I have do not work well I will be tweaking them… just deciding how. Kicking around a ideas.Dark Sun needs a different approach.
Keep crafting, rolling the dice and fighting the good fight folks. Happy Holidays.

The progress on the Shroom Mansion I need to tidy up some glue gun strings, finish the roof tiles, sand the base, final touch up paint… but it has come along. Hopefully I can get it done over the next couple days.
