GorkaMorka: Rebel Grot Conversion

The diminutive greenskins are spelling trouble...

Starting with the Red Gobbo, I began converting Rebel Grot models to build a mob for future games. When creating a mold for the Red Gobbo, I also made one for a classic Rebel Grot model holding two revolvers. Having made some copies of the model, I decided it was time to convert one of them, modifying their pistols to be of a more reasonable size!

Resin Casting: Red Gobbo Conversion

Third Side of the Moon.

Throughout May, I have been doing a lot of mold making and resin casting, including creating some casts for Nemessos Miniatures and creating a casting gate for future molds. Having recently converted the Red Gobbo, they were the perfect opportunity to create a new mold using one of the gates we created with the frog skull logo. I attached the Red Gobbo conversion to one of the gates, along with adding some pins to different points on the gobbo to ensure all of the details would fill with resin properly. The mold turned out quite well, although some of the very fine details, like the barrel of the gun, can easily be damaged when pulling the model from the mold. Ultimately, I was able to make a variety of casts of the Red Gobbo. Each will need a little cleaning, but it is relatively minimal, and much less than would be needed for an original metal GorkaMorka model. I hope we can paint a copy of the model soon!
