Another update. Not even sure if anyone is reading these. When we last saw our intrept manservant<\/a> he was waiting to see if he would be mass produced or just become a one of a kind. Well, after a tense finale, the Kickstarter made it and the cloning tanks started to output a host of Gavin.<\/p>\n

Send in the clones<\/h2>\n

One piece which was cast in a two part block of silicone.<\/p>\n

While the body was another slab.<\/p>\n

\"Gavin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This let me cast them up easily in two parts. Then, after a bit of cleaning\/sanding\/filling, they got glued together and then the loooooong job of painting was started.<\/p>\n

\"Gavin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then more paint.<\/p>\n

Until there was a grand army of the republic.<\/p>\n

\"Gavin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a varnish and basing I was able to get them herded together into a couple of boxes. Then over one weekend they got CAREFULLY driven from the dungeon in Suffolk to Bristol via Kent (long story) before being handed over to Rumpus Animation<\/a>, ready for distribution to the people who backed the game at the correct level.<\/p>\n

Here they are in Bristol, being commanded by the lord high Barry Monkey Esq.<\/p>\n

(Actually, I believe Barry is in charge of cleaning out their litter tray and feeding them while they live in the studio.)<\/p>\n

Shortly after finishing them I went to a gig by Professor Elemental<\/a> who is providing his vocal talents to the game and I did a custom Gavin for him based on his rather snazzy jacket.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At this point I’ve realised that I don’t have a painted Gavin of my own. At the time I was so sick of making them for everyone else that I didn’t make one for myself, this should be fixed one day but not just yet.<\/p>\n

Heres a couple of shots of the finished pieces but theres more pictures, including lots of WIPs, in this gallery: https:\/\/goo.gl\/photos\/TL21w7ZD3vu1fpT49<\/a><\/p>\n
