"Garden Gnomes are widely regarded as friendly, whimsical, peaceful little creatures…
Not anymore!
I don’t know what it was that finally prompted the gnomes to take up arms. Maybe it was one too many gopher invasions. Perhaps it was the overwhelming gaudiness of neighboring plastic pink flamingos encroaching on their ancestral homeland. Or maybe they just finally got tired of the media portraying them as traveling morons. Either way, they’ve had enough and they’re out for blood…"
Yes, combat garden gnomes. After serious consideration about which ones to get (they come in a variety of poses), I bought these two guys to protect my new home. Here are some pictures of them with a beer can for scale reference. My first step will be to sand and file them before I attach their weapons and the one guy’s hand. [D][:)]
The combat gnomes:
.50 cal gnome front:
.50 cal gnome side view. It looks like I’ll have to scratch build the rest of his tripod as it only has one leg right now.
.50 cal gnome’s barrel and ammo box (and I guess, my toes somehow got in there too. I cropped and resized all the on photobucket but it looks like nothing I did there got saved) [:(]
That’s awesome Bitbite!!! You need some gnome riding into battle using dogs for horses.
Reminds me of the good old days of playing Dungeons and Dragons and my gnome charging with his blade right at some ogre’s crotch… always good for forcing the monsters to make a morale check or run…
Interesting angle there. They’ve already got the SAS beards. I could paint them as WW2 SAS guys, and . . . for lack of a politically correct term . . . scratch build the “headgear” as seen here.
I knew there had to be a connection here if I thought about it long enough!
The friggin’ gnomes bred these horrible things to turn the giant hamster wheels that drove their space going sidewheelers!!! (don’t ask, really, you don’t want to know…)
