malefactus Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks for the reply, Edsterdoom! The motivation helps the cause. I'm working on a few signs for the place & a couple of Graveyard Denizens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 In anticipation of the Graveyard Board, I finished two new denizens. The photos were SO dreadful I'm only showing the Lovely Couple in one pic: Hopefully some better photos will be forthcoming. In the interim, your comments & critiques would be most welcome...mostly 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmeer Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ooh... is the graveyard board going to have a multi-layered effect? The models look really good, but I'm curious if that's going to be the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks, Darkmeer...glad you like the minis! The Vampire's base was meant to match some Pumpkin Heads I had done awhile ago. Since I'm going to be doing up a new Band of the Melon Guy, I figured I'd keep him on the high base. I have the Pumpkin Heads in the Show Off Section, but here's a photo for you: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/53314-pumpkin-heads/ However, now that you mention it., the Graveyard will probably be at least two levels. I'm thinking of doing a Catacomb board to fit under the Graveyard. Access to the lower region may be in part through a Tower placed on the board edge with it's back open. How's that sound?

Darkmeer Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I like it, especially if you can see parts of it from "above ground." Good luck, and this has been a lot of fun to follow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It just keeps being charming, whimsical, and beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I like it, especially if you can see parts of it from "above ground." Good luck, and this has been a lot of fun to follow! The idea is to have the Graveyard supported by a central block with support columns in the corners, The corners will have a peg to fit into a hole/tube in the upper, Graveyard level. the lower, Catacomb, level will be open for viewing on all four sides. If it works as well as I hope it will, I may do a lower level to The Shanty Town also. It just keeps being charming, whimsical, and beautiful. Thanks for the kind words, smokingwreckage. I need a boost today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Chaoswolf Posted February 3, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 3, 2014 Excellent job on the vampire and his lady. I look forward to seeing your multilevel graveyard take shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks, Wolf. The motivation is appreciated! I look forward to seeing your multilevel graveyard take shape. I've got to admit I'm looking forward to it also. I has some Oh-So-Cool possibilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmeer Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The Graveyard will have a nice catacombs-ey feeling to it, which will be a good thing. Looking forward to the pics. Question, and I reread the entire thread but I may have missed it (all three run throughs): Are you sculpting each of the mushroom faces? They're really cool and I don't recall seeing them anywhere.

malefactus Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks, Darkmeer. I'm starting to get a clearer picture of The Catacombs. I've gotten to the stage that the way I imagine things comes pretty close to the way I make them...mostly. Hopefully it will be an interest project to follow. Don't feel that you have to search out the thread for the answer to a question...unless you like browsing. I'm more than happy to answer any questions AND I don't mind repeating myself. SO on the Mushrooms: I make them all, large & small, with & without faces/appendages/et al from scratch...well actually I make them from toothpicks, plumber's epoxy putty, beads, & Green Stuff. Also the faces on the walls, window, trees are my creations. Greens Stuff is addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Some new Mushrooms & Signs have been added to the Shanty Town...Mushrooms & Signs sounds almost prophetic. Other than adding a couple of the last details to the Shanty Town, the only omen is the start of a new board or two...possibly three. Be that as it may, here are a couple of now anticlimactic photos: The All Seeing Yenta Snoop's Place: The Drop of the Pure Tavern (purveyor of Hooligan's Hooch): AND a personable Mushroom by the Downtown Shabby Arms: As details are added to the Isles & the Shanty Town further photos will be added. The Graveyard, Catacombs, & an old W.I.P. loom on the horizon...well they're sitting anxiously by/on my work table to be more accurate & less dramatic. Comments & critiques are, as always, most welcome. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Never any critiques here on your amazing work, just awe and adulation. How big is this entire set-up you have? Do you have any with people around it or somehow showing the scale of this wonderful little world? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks, Amigo! So far, with Heep's Place, the first of The Spooky Woods, The Shanty Town, & The Isles of Langerhans, it's 2' X 7'. Then there's the separate 3' X 3' Goblin City. AND MORE TO COME! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
