That is a great idea for the cube. It looks like a clear plastic bag of sorts taped into shape (over a box to get the shape?) then hot glue for texture and stability. Exactly. You don't really need a box but it can help. Update with guide. Sorry for the engRish, I'm Italian. gelatinous cube guide

I am a fan of your custom minis. Just with a few ideas you may have saved me a lot of money.

That was my first idea as well, but most plastic melts when being touched by hot glue. Seriously - give us a how-to, or at least a little explanation! ...damit, now I don't like my own slime army much less and have to do more slimes...

There is not a real way to avoid the melting. Some plastic bags are more resilent, all you can do is to try different kind of plastic.

Steel wire, glue, paper tissue, small rocks and hot glue for the saliva.

Those are all, very, very good! You've taken some license with Gygax's presentations of the forms of some of the Elementals, and the Golem -- love it! The Gelatinous Cube is simply brilliant: if it succeeds in enveloping a PC, you just plop it over his figure. Evil, pure Evil... I love it! The Golem is one of my favorites: simple, effective, and it just makes sense as a medieval technology construct. I love your efforts -- and the fact that you shared your techniques with all of us! Cheers!

The Brave, I am doing a vid on your brilliant G cube. My technique is a bit different but very similar. Of course you get a shout out for your brilliant idea.

Fantastic - another way for crafting slimes. My players will hate you guys! I already have an army of small slime creatures, but now I can add some giant G cubes that can actually swallow the PCs. [cue evil laughter]

I love all of your golems & elementals, but the last one is my instant favourite. It could be used not only for a scrap golem mini, but also for an Animate Object(s) spell. Seeing this little guy makes me want to play a mage specializing in these animation spells (a PC concept I'm toying with for years)...

OK, I have GOT to post a video of how to use cheap epoxy clear glue to make large eyes, watery or slimey effects... loving the stone golem and Earth elemental, the water elemental needs a good coating with tinted epoxy glue, the air elemental just needs a little fluffy cotton wool, maybe some very light foam, shredded and stuck to it in places. Overall, very good work!
