New Combat Garden Gnomes Ready to Deploy

What makes the grass grow?  Blood, blood, blood!

For the first time in quite a while, I've actually had the time to sit down and focus on sculpting for a minute.  The result, a new variant of Combat Garden Gnome.  This version is charging headlong into battle with his bayonet fixed:




As with all of my Combat Garden gnomes, the original was hand-sculpted by me in oil-based clay and then molded to reproduce him in urethane resin.  I'm especially proud of his angry little face:


Once the first cast was out of the mold, it was painted with high-gloss exterior paints and deployed in my mother's garden.  There he will stay, facing all-comers in the endless battle for lawn dominance:


Meanwhile, work continues on the rest of the castings:


If you'd like one for your very own, you can order them here: LINK

If you're feeling artistic and want to paint one yourself, you can order the unpainted version here: LINK

I've got a couple more sketches in the pipeline, so stay tuned for more Combat Garden Gnomes.
