Gneeling Gnomes with Rifles

Forever ago I posted some pics of the prototype of my Gneeling Gnome:





I like this sculpt more than the first one. He looks much angrier:



Shortly after I finished the sculpt, I set about making the rubber jacket mold:



Since the original standing gnome rifleman didn't sell very well on eBay, I decided not to waste time finishing the mold. It's been sitting on top of a cabinet in the workshop ever since.


More recently, I've opened my Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/thorssoli) and it turns out I've sold a few. Enough to justify finishing up a second one at any rate.


So on Tuesday I finally went ahead and started work on the mothermold:



Then on Wednesday I pulled the sculpt out of the mold and poured the first copy:

The lump of green and white on the right is the original sculpt.  They don't tend to survive being removed from the mold.

Now I just need a few gallons of casting resin so I can start production proper.  So go to my Etsy shop and buy some gnomes so I can afford to keep going...
