Halloween

By Howard Schultz

These are some of the whimsical Halloween structures I have on my model train layout.

Halloween

It incorporates a couple of local legends from my youth in New Orleans: Dr. Momus Alexader Morgus and the Great McNutt.

Halloween

The Dr Morgus Embalming & Fracking Fluids is in the old city Ice House. One of his neighbors is The McNutt Funeral Home located in an abandoned gas station. It offers immediate burials.

The Great Unclean One

This is a figure that Games Workshop made in their Fantasy Range. They called it the Great Unclean One (also known as the Greater Demon of Nurgle).

The Great Unclean One

It was painted overall a Dead Flesh color. Dried Blood-Red was used where the Great one’s flesh has been ripped opened. The baby demons crawling out from Nurgle’s stomach were painted green.

Rosebud

Hub Hobby’s original building on Broad St in New Orleans has been demolished. Word of it being torn down spread like wildfire.

One of our customers, Jim Letten, was emailed by his friend Martin about the demolition of their childhood hang-out.

The subject line was: ROSEBUD

“Rosebud” was the dying word spoken by Orson Welles in the movie Citizen Kane: a reference to his childhood sled – the symbol of memories of youthful innocence.
