How can Players be so against monsters that eat thier gear? Oh yeah, that whole gear eating thing...Never fear DMs you will be able to disolve that gear right off your PCs with just a few easy steps!<a href="http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/986/pudding6mz.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/986/pudding6mz.th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>[Sblock]A few years ago I made a couple black puddings using black candle wax and wire, this is the big one. Size: 4.75 inches wide or 23 3/4 scale feet across [yes, an ooze the size of a Compact Disc]Material used1 AOL CD for the base3 black votive candles1 tube of thick P.V.A. glue [school, white, Elmer’s glue all the same, just don’t waste your money on games workshop’s pva]1 tube of cheap black gloss paint.1 Small paint brush [not a good one used for minis]1 bit of cheap string1 fist sized hunk of StyrofoamA couple feet of floral wire, thinA bit of masking tape.I took the hunk of Styrofoam and tore off chunks to give the goo a wave like mass at one side, a mound that I would later attach a wire pseudopod to and I cut a small hole into which I stuck a cone of masking tape. I glued the Styrofoam to the CD.For the Pseudopodia I took the wire and made a thickest to thin to thick [¾” to 1/3” to ½”] shape with little open space. I attached this to the mound I had made for it. I then made a flat web of wire I attached to the crest of the slime wave to give it the look like its victim was about to suffer a wipe out.Now, have you seen the late 80’s / early 90s Blob remake? Do you remember the scene where the blob forms a mouth like opening to “swallow” the girl? I tried to make an opening like that on the pudding. To do so, I took a bit of masking tape, rolled it into a cone and stuck it into the Styrofoam. Then I cut up the tape a little at the opening to give an organic look.Next, to make sure the white of the Styrofoam did not show through, I painted the mass gloss black [also this helps to hide the wire a little better].Once the paint was dry I took a candle[/Sblock]Home made Earth elementals are really easy, stop by my miniatures thread for more info.<a href="http://img22.exs.cx/img22/9628/earthelemental2ce.jpg" target="_blank">http://img22.exs.cx/img22/9628/earthelemental2ce.jpg</a></blockquote>
