It took quite a while to finally unload the dozen or so that I painted, but since the lase one sold I've gotten a steady stream of inquiries from folks asking for them.
I've listed a few more unpainted gnomes for sale, but I've also gone ahead and sculpted out a kneeling version:
I like him because he's much angrier than the standing version:
I've cast a few of these kneeling gnome riflemen, but on the last two days of the summer cruise with the sea scouts I also decided to go ahead and sculpt out a prone gnome rifleman as well. Here's what the original sculpt looks like:
I'm about halfway done with the mold for the prone gnome and I've been stocking up on the other gnomes in my lineup so far:
As I've been getting them painted, I'm listing more gnomes on Etsy. You can see what I've got available right now by clicking here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/thorssoli
The mold for the standing gnome has finally failed, so I'm re-sculpting one of the castings. I'll be making changes to his facial expression and replacing his rope belt with a flat leather one. If you're especially in love with the original version, the seven pictured above are the last seven from that mold.
While that's going on, I'll also be sculpting yet another combat garden gnome in a whole new pose.
Stay tuned...
How about a combat gnome in Halo armor?
ReplyDeleteMy husband's favorite book as a kid was "Sir MacHinery" by Tom McGowen It's about a robot who is mistaken by the fairies as a knight and stolen by them to fight a terrible dragon.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, put a kilt and a Scotch bonnet on those gnomes and they'd be the spitting image of the dwarves in the story.
I may have to order one for him!
Man, I would love to get one of those! I've always loved garden gnomes, and adding fully automatic assault rifles to the mix just amplifies my love of them!
ReplyDeleteHoping you restock the Etsy store soon...
I'd like own all three! Heck, I'd like to have 3 sets of all three - these would make GREAT Christmas presents for my gun-nut friends!
ReplyDeleteI wish i could get my hands on all three variations.

Thanks for actually posting your selling sight! I'm always looking for cool garden gnomes for sale, but many people don't have the sense to tell me where to find them. I think these are considerably fantastic! If only they had these in that new movie Gnomeo and Juliet! That would have made it more interesting!
ReplyDeleteHow about a Gnome holding a claymore!
ReplyDeleteare these still available? Looking for them with AKs and ARs in standing, kneeling and prone positions
