    Jul 22, 2011 - A Gremlin prop for charity #1

    Alright it is rare when I post something on here, and I have been here for awhile. An old friend of mine suffers from cystic fibrosis and I have it in my mind to build a prop and auction it off on ebay with all proceeds going to his cause, which happens to be a double lung transplant.

    So first off what prop should I make??? Well first thing that came to mind was a mogwai. I have always wanted to make one and this is the perfect reason to do so. I also wanted to make it a one off, so if any were made in the future from me, they would not be like this one. Rarity is the key here.

    On to the build. First thing I did was purchase some much needed materials.



    Next I found a picture of gizmo with no fur and made a "to size" blueprint. I am a big fan of blueprinting everything before I start, just to get an idea of how big or small everything needs to be.


    Sorry or the watermark, but you cant trust some people these days.

    Stay tuned for future updates, as this as as far as I have gotten.

    Very cool idea. I lost my friend David to this and his brother is slowly fading away from it as well though thanks to the various meds he's doing better than Dave did.

    He looks fantastic, one hell of a likeness to the prop, many struggle to nail this down.

    Thank you. I know he is far from done, but should be done by Saturday, as that is the deadline.

    Thank you all. And the fur came from Hobby Lobby. And I have decided to auction him off at the first of the year.
