Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Does anyone know if Garden Gnomes count as a Figure here. In other words could I do a WIP for a Gnome. I have a custom mold of one and want to paint it loosely based on Pink Floyds “The Gnome” description of Grimble Crumble. Its a song on their 1967 debut “The Piper at the gates of Dawn” album.

Black Knight Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I say it counts. No real difference to a model of Wallace, or Gromit or any other figure There have been resin Minions done as Judge Dread and the like, so go for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such questions beg to be answered in a very positive way. Remember that a true WIP should contain photos of the complete build process, form mixing the plaster for the little monster to the painting and glazing. I'm surrounded by a nation of Gnome lovers who have examples in their gardens that would have been certified as only suitable for over 21s not too long ago, so it would be interesting to view your custom example.

So here is my Gnome, he is designed to sit on something(not included). I was thinking rock or stump in the Garden. And the lyrics to the song. The second verse contains the brief description of Scarlet Tunic, and Blue-Green Hood. So the rest will be up to me. I am planning on placing some reference to Pink Floyd on him somewhere, possibly the pipe or his pouch. Leather for the pouch and shoes, will need to study the gnomes in existence for his pants and other details. Dennis 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 ah, now what you have there is the very rare and seldom seen Leprechaun Gnome. Easily identified by him having a clay pipe and shoulder bag I'm shure he'll be happy to be Crumble but look out for mischief from him during the course of the painting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryW Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 OK, he doesn't look that bad. Don't know if it's of any use to you, but here's a link to a collection of photos for mostly German Gnomes (Gartenzwerke), that may provide some inspiration.
