• Welcome to the Golden Gobbo painting competition. If you'd like to read some of the ancient history you can on the Realm of Chaos 80s blog.

    This competition is held some years and you'll find threads here describing how to enter and when the competition is running (typically after BOYL each year).

    Other than the fame and wonderment of your peers there is often a prize kindly donated and you'll have the wonder of being awarded badges for your profile here.

GG 2025 Golden Gobbo '25

When Golden Gobbo was announced, I thought about my entry for this year, and quickly decided for the Jabberwocky from Old School Miniatures. Not an actual old school mini (quite recent model and still in production), but an old hammer model in motive :)

I cut off the integral base of the model, bent the left arm for a slightly more interesting silhouette, and based the model on a 40mm square metal base from Products for Wargamers. A little bit of greenstuff was needed to fill the gaps between wings and body, and to blend the cutting edges where I removed the integral base to the metal base.

 
That Jabberwocky looks amazing (and couldn't be any more old school). Feels like I'm going to have to up my game to get anywhere near that bucket of awesome!
Same, I should have entered my generals son in law Dennis, he's already beat one Jabberwock, admittedly by accident but it still counts.
