Gabriel Monster Machine

Anybody remember this thing from 1977? Snagged this today for $4 at the thrift....

Gabriel's MONSTER MACHINE:



Essentially it's a mix n' mold kinda set. You can make plaster monsters with the molds and then paint them. My favorite are the generic alien guys HORNAGOR and GALAXOGG. I may actually try to use this over the weekend...

Nice find. I'd try it out if I got one, then its monster heads for everybody!!

I had one of these as a kid. The play value was limited and after a few tries at high art I used up the rest of the mix making BB gun targets that exploded very nicely! I did have one nicely painted Jekyll/Hyde penicl holder that sat on shelf for years unti a cat broke it. It would be cool to make those today with a decent grade of plaster of Paris.

neat! I've never heard of that before. I couldn't pass it up for $4 either....

[mickkell]

If you do try it out, I'd really like to buy one of the Frankenstein heads if you can make me one.
LMK and thanks, Mike



Sorry, I didn't realize this was from June, but I would like to have one of the Frankenstein casts if you still have it.

i found one years go the same way. I think a buddy just used plaster in it. mine didn;t come with any of the mix. the molds are cool.

ha ha, funny this thread was bumped. After much trial and error, I got the thing to work and made a couple casts. Anyway, the thing is up on my shelf right now, if anybody wants it, make me an offer.......

I had one of these as a kid. It was the only present that left a real impression on me. I just found an old mold I made back in 79 in my Mom's crawl space. No machine in sight.
If anyone knows were I can find one I would appreciate it.
I was outbidded on EBAY in the last 10 seconds.

($100.00 if in good shape)
