Gelatinous Cube

[Germy]

When I get a chance I'll do a proper article on how I made it but thought I'd have a go at making a Gelatinous Cube 

I made it with my hot glue gun 
Made a square mould and simply filled it with glue. Did it in stages to let the glue dry and it took about 8 glue sticks. Cost probably £1.60.
It didn't set as clear as I would have liked but not bad for about 30 mins work!

Also made some slime monsters with the same hot glue gun.

HOT STUFF GERMY!

Thats so cool Germy, I`d buy me one of those 

I made myself a Gelatinous Blob (which is now included in the DW rules), but it was very basic - but it worked fine for what I wanted.

Yours is really D&D-ish 

Love it.


Six.

I like those, especially the smaller ones.  I wonder how well one of the clear gel types would work, like the Vallejo one designed for rivers?

[sixsideddice]

Reason I went with Genatinoue Blob was.... well, would we be able to get away with calling it a Cube? I mean, its probably one of the most iconic D&D monster in the book?

Traditionally, the GC is meant to be see through/clear and pretty much fills the dimensions of what ever passage wherein it lurks and slithers - very cool `clean up crew`Monster indeed.

My Blob is a bit smaller, any colour the owner choses (I chose light blue or vibrant green for mine); but is obviously heavily based on the GC.

Germy`s  version of this `thing`really hits the spot, and I`d love to be able to add one to my games (too rare and powerful to use more than one at a time). The smaller ones would be great for babies; but the big Daddy would have to be THE one, because it simply wouldn`t be a GC otherwise.

Exciting addition.... you`ve created a... erm... monster here Germy

Love the little ones, Germy.

The big one does look a little strange having such square sides but not touching the walls. Like Six, I have always pictured them filling a passageway.
I wonder if there is a way of creating one possibly by lining a piece of passageway with some aluminium foil.

But good stuff.

[Germy]

Yeah, it should really be wall to wall. But as with all gaming I was looking at the practical side of having it occupy four dungeon squares so combat was easier.
You can buy clear resin to make them out of. Otherworld miniatures make one which is 4cm square Otherworld Cube

But this was just me not being able to put my hot glue gun down

Thats fantastic!!! i havent played D&D for 20 years but this idea alone is making me reconsider!!!!



I'm already starting to think what can other uses hot glue can be put to (other than glueing of course because its rubbish at that!)

I`m totally with you there Germy, and I don`t mind the dimensions at all....  I think what you have there is perfect as a 10mm skulpt :-)

Excellent Germy!

Now then, shouldn't there be a few skulls, or the odd sword suspended in the cube?
