Monster mould/Skull Machine

[remember]

This is best described as a mechanical 'shaker maker' in my opinion. You would place your runny plaster of Paris mixture inside a two-sided mould (1 x skull, 1 x mummy, 1 x warewolf), and the mould is then placed inside a perspex ball, (a bit like one of those hamster balls you get these days). This is placed upon a machine with three wheels running, so the ball spins and mixes the plaster. Once it's done, just let dry and then paint your monsters! Happy days! You would then either swap or sell your creation for all sorts of school-boy tat!

Re: Monster mould/Skull Machine

I had one of these and as said in the other thread, very messy. I can only ever remember making one (the shrunken head) for a friend and painted it blue with a red bone through the nose. Shaker maker and chipaway were other toys that weren't allowed out too often, especially without supervision.
