Geek White North

Things I like to do in my spare time that includes a healthy dose of geek

Gort Body

Thought about how I could make the body and after browsing around the local home DIY store I noticed these cardboard tubes meant for concrete to be poured into when making foundations.


With a set of cardboard tubes of differing sizes I started cutting them up to make arms legs and a body.

I then covered the surface with plaster bandages (to cover gaps).

Finally I covered it all in paper mache.

The head

Starting with a  toy helmet I built out the size of Gorts head.

This was built up with newspaper glue and filler, until there were many layers.
