Make Your Own Gelatinous Cubes

- A possibly-new method of making an old dungeon favourite quickly and cheaply, and every one made will be different.
There are many types of bathroom sealant. Some claim to be fire resistant, or fungus resistant, or the like. My method was to buy the cheapest.

Has anyone mentioned that G-Cubes are supposed to be transparent so that unobservant fools will blunder into them and get eaten? That's kind of an important detail.
Thank You!
Huh, i never thought of that!
But perhaps these ones were very sickly and haven't quiet digested their meal yet.
In fact some interpretations are that it's hard to notice that you are INSIDE of a gelatinous cube.
The first giveaway is that you can't get out (their skin can be entered easily, but doesn't let you out). The second is that tingling sensation that your skin starts to be slowly digested. Think more gastric acid, rather than sulphuric acid.
By the looks of it, with all this gunk inside of it, it camouflages pretty well with the stone of the dungeon.
@@Tennouseijin I'd think you'd notice rather quickly when you are no longer able to breathe
I'd love to see more of those little animations. They're really quite funny.
Lindy teaching sword theory with animations???
Lindybeige is like the ultimate British kid circa 1950-1980.
Too much Monty Python, not enough Sean Connery.
He is indeed, but for some reason one day a beard appeared on his chin.
Am I the only one who thinks his whistling is really calming?
Yes. The rest of us find it a wee bit annoying and out-of-place when watching Gelatinous Cubes.
It was the theme from The Gallery an old BBC program with Tony Hart.
I love the guarding of the "thing that goes round and round."
Round and round and round.
Like a record, baby.
"Let's have a look at the two experimental ones I did. This was my first one. This is silicon. And that's what it looks like. The packet claims that this is glass-clear. That's clearly not true."
"That's clearly not true."
"Clearly."
=)
+Jharmainyack clearly
*silicone
Organ Farm there's silicone and silicon, be sure you know which he's speaking of before you correct him.

I am.
The one in the video is silicone (with the E), not that it particularly matters. I appreciate the pun.
Wow that whistling doe 11/10 would listen to whistle again
Can you do a whistling video??
Does anyone know the name of that song?

@@kalieljames1617 It was the theme from the Gallery which was part of an old BBC art program (which I think may have been called Hartbeat) hosted by a chap called Tony Hart. It introduced a stop motion claymation character called Morph and his friend Chas to everyone.
@@andrewharper1609 smart was the art program or at least the more modern version of it
@@treemover7259 The Tony Hart program dates back to the 80s at least. Long time ago now.
i want to see more of the stop-motion, that was awesome
I like the dirty cube it seems a lot more 'realistic' as where ever a cube has been is always pristine, which is often the only clue we got from our GM that a cube was near.
If you have a hot glue gun, you can use it to make goo minis in pretty much the same way. It sets a lot quicker, so if you're quick about it you can mold it into some pretty interesting shapes, pseudopods or stringy trailing bits or whatever. I did a handful based on the Floating Guts monster from Dwarf Fortress (with bits of colored craft paper inside for the guts) that I was pretty pleased with.
Airpi exactly what I wanted to say.
You should really do a stop motion story. I've always loved watching your and your voices for them.
Really wouldn't mind a stop motion series.... Please considering making more of the stuff, its really quite entertaining
Use jello in square shot glasses. Eat the ones you defeat. Put in some cocktail straw swords, berries, candy, (especially white chocolate skull's they sell on Halloween (they are bit out of scale, but hey they look good, and you can say they are from giant))for stuff being digested.
Also square jelly candies (if its not too hot/humid), and they don't stain the beard/table.
I made five Gelatinous cubes for one Campaign, and yes, they all externally looked the same. But I bought a few figurines cheap and cut off their weapons and armor and dropped them into the resin so each one had different food inside One had a goblin inside and killing it in time saved the goblin who'd help you.
I like the Mk. 4! Also those stop-motion plays made my day. XD
The 1/76 model tank boxes in the background! Priceless!
30 years ago I did an Art Degree, majoring in sculpture, and learnt that that silicon is excellent for making moulds, using Vaseline as a release agent, and cling wrap to prevent it sticking to a base, ect.. Wonderful fun. Also cast figurines in plaster-of Paris using melted old, bent Pewter mugs that people were throwing away, instead of the more toxic lead!
Shit - I laughed my f*$%ing ass off at this!!
Nice to see you doing a video related to gaming - welcome to my realm!
"Good Lord! What on earth is that?!" I was patching a roof last year and that's exactly what my boss said as he ran away. The Slug Monster of Doom, unfortunately, proved to be quite the inconvenience.
rejoice, rejoice, the prophet of the nerds has arrived, we are not worthy lord!
A gelatinous cube was the first monster I ever fought in D&D when I first started playing it back in the late 70's or early 80's. it was my first, ever, monster encounter and I will never forget it. I was probably 12 or 13 years old.
Very inventive. However, I still think it would be a good idea to create a sculpted mold to put the caulk (or other material) into to get the perfect preconceived rendering and avoid the pile-of-toothpaste outer texture.
On a separate note, you should do more stop motion cartoons. UA-cam needs more of those.
Agreed, it's been too long since that was a large part of youtube.
Some sort of cube-like box lined with wax paper or carefully sprayed with a non-sticking cooking pan spray, to serve as a mold might do the trick.
I guess you could just tape together a handful of those floor tiles?
We The People, demand to know what is wrong with your thumb.
It was thwacked in a HEMA bout. It is healing.
+Lindybeige how do we know you didnt lose your old thumb and have a fake one still settling it?
@@lindybeige that sounds a lot cooler than 'i slammed it in a drawer'
He was pinched by a black man.
@@jamesreuben5430 😂😂😂
My grandpa died in 1987. That whistling brought him right back
"Oh, it ran over my fingers..."
"more silicone fun" ...oh okay...thats rather promising.
I really liked the stop motion parts by the way, very funny! :D
The song he is whistling at 9:17 is called "Left Bank Two" By the Noveltones
Thanks for that - I only knew it from Take Hart, BBC kids prog from the 70s, and I suspect that's what the Lloyd was referencing.
It`s very nice of you that you give different names of materials you are using. It is useful for people from different countries.
Like you named all the names of PVA glue in other video...
I thoroughly enjoyed your whistling
Wonderful whistle rendition of Left Bank Two
The label on that packaging looks old enough to be nostalgic :)
I love your little animation shorts. Good stuff.
Starting with a clear transparent plastic box, like the ones batches of Chessex dice come in, and slathering a thinner layer of the sealant over that for texture is an approach that can work pretty nicely if you want it to have a more rectangular shape. It also leaves a void space in the center that you can put a trapped figure or pile of bones in.
The thing with gelatinous cubes is, as far as I know, they're supposed to be completely transparent. They "hide" in 10ft/10ft hallways,which they fit perfectly, and trick adventurers into walking into them where they get swallowed up and their vitality absorbed/day ruined/etc.
better movie than helen of troy
I subbed to lindy for the weapons, I stayed for the DIY
You were real happy at the end there....With the whistling.
One of your best videos. More like this please (fantasy-related, DIY, humor).
It is not "silly cun" it is "silly cone" Silicon is an element, silicone is a compound. Silicon is right for chips but breasts and bathroom sealant requires silicone although, unless you're French, you shouldn't use exactly the same stuff.
Martin Willett Hmm... I never noticed the difference. Personally, I thought it was just how the British pronounced the word, (such as aluminum vs aluminium.)
+1 to you!
Time to research! :>
The cube might be clear in D&D games, because the adventurers then only notice the loot inside it and not the cube itself... it's more effective as a trap.
You really are a great man, I admire you.
I made a few gelatinous cube models for kicks, and I made one that was basically perfect transparent, but I used some GW skeleton bits to litter the inside and give it some depth.
Dear Mr Beige. I made the same cube from a similar material using my mum's ice cube tray lined with cling film. So so results and as you say yourself take quite a while to dry. I think I can remember the physical ramifications on my ear more so than how well the process went.
OOO, I can use this on my Antarctica model base the British encampment , Thanks Loyd your becoming my go to for stuff in modeling.
My dad made some of these a while ago with hot glue skeletons, then silicone on the outside. this allowed him to put it on top of medium or small creatures that wouldn't die instantly when being absorbed.
If any other UA-camr had made a video called 'Make Your Own Gelatinous Cubes' I would never watch it but, with Lindy, you never know what you will get.
That stop-motion animation was just gold! slug monster of doooooom gaaah
I would like to see more of these tutorials for cool stuff like this.
You can actually colour acid-based silicone with water colour. That makes the stuff dry faster and look pretty cool. White silicone will get pastel colours and clear silicone will get more vibrant colours.
Gelatinous cubes are described as near glass clear in the monster manual. I kind of like the idea of a cube gaining color as i digests something, but it honesly makes more sense for them to be clear, thats how they ambush prey
Please make your whistling a ringtone I love it xD
THis is just the best quality entertainment. Thank you Lindybeige
that animation made this hole video worth it
Genius on the blobs! The Stop motion was SO FUNNY
PLEASE do more of those maybe a separate channel buuut damn theyre good
Typical student: up at half one in the morning watching videos about games that I've never played, nor likely ever will play.
gelatinous cubes are clear. it is a camouflage effect to sneak up on their prey.
for me it is part of the horror of dungeon delving, "the tunnel is clear ahead so we sent the rogue ahead to peek around the corner, after all, that goblin escaped our ambush earlier and we have to beware in case he made contact with the tribe and set up a trap. the rogue stole down silently until he ran forward, and, kind of floated off the ground, his face a rictus of pain and panic as he struggled against a force we couldn't see.. he couldn't even yell, lest the cube drowned him, not that his fate was any gentler. he dissolved. we could see him as his flesh left his body. we fled, what else could we do against a demon like that? later at camp, behind the safety of a Sanctuary the cleric set up we asked Iltheuric the wizard what was that monster? a gelatinous cube he said. and we were afraid."
I liked the green one because it looked like it was in attack mode, as if some unwary adventure had gotten too close, and it decided to lunge forward and swallow them into it's mass.
I love to just set a Lindybeige video/playlist going and have it playing in the background while I do other stuff.
especially liked the "gallery" bit at the end :)
I use the clear plastic boxes that dice sets come in as my gelatinous cubes. works very well. when my players get caught in the cube I can literally put their figure inside the cube.
Omg whistling ‘Tony Hart’s Art Gallery’ tune 😙
Please make a stop motion series. A huge amount of time I'm sure, but you're great at it!
Everything I have witnessed here is amazing.
I want to see more stop motions. Idk why but i love it!
The green one with a skellie and a sword in it would look great!
Loving the font at the beginning.
its confirmed my cat loves your whistling, she's cuddling my comp
she still likes it
Something about this makes me want to see them with mini LED lights inside, Maybe that would help to backlight the "contents". Nice job..
Coming soon...
Great, now I want to make one too. Can't wait to see more :)
I feel like a complete ass. I was always looking at his military and medieval videos. I never knew he was a crafty gamer like me as well. I'm sorry for not noticing that about you my good sir. Now I love your channel even more.
love the stop motion !
It would be interesting to have one of these blob-monsters that have a hollow base so it can physically envelop other figures.
I kinda like the idea of the monster being more absurdly cubic, so I might try folding up a celophane box like that into a more defined square shape, then filling it up with sealant.
nice vid and i love the stop motion part
To work with the silicone better, use a tiny bit of window cleaner on whatever you're using to scrape the sides. It'll prevent it from sticking to your tool and allow you to smoothly even out the rounded edges. It's also great at cleaning up.
Yes, there is a reason for the gelatinous cube to be transparent. The idea is that in a dimly lit dungeon it is possible to walk into one and get stuck like flypaper. Obviously if they are not near invisible, that isn't going to happen and they can't move quickly enough to catch anyone. So if they are not clear, they will starve.
I would be interested in watching you doing a dungeon campaign
Or you could just have used Turkish delight cubes and eat them afterwards. Plus, they already have powder sugar on them, so it is your dirt.
These look pretty good!Though, I think if I were making some, I'd want them to be a tad more square. I guess if you did like you mentioned in the first bit, where you let it dry a little before continuing, you could make it more like that, though. Definitely something I am going to have to try, though!
Amazing audio effects!
Very original. I've gotta try this one. Thank you.
good job, looks pretty nice
OK, that's hilarious.
Tip: wash your silicon in some water, that rinses the Acid out, so No fumes and faster drying. Adding some droplets of glycerine speeds up the drying time. And adding acrylic paint makes the silicon opaque colored, adding corn starch until the silicone is not sticky anymore gives you rubber-clay.
Also: use your Hot glue gun to 3D print you cubes.... works really fast.
You all most make me want to play DnD again.
Love the stop motion bits. Using the acrylic I suspect you could also make fires for wrecked vehicles, fireballs what-have-you. What miniatures did you use for your stop motion? Also what RPGs are you playing if any. I know you expressed a fondness for RuneQuest in the past have a you carried on with that one?
Animation was a nice touch :D
The stop animation bits were actually pretty funny, please do more? =D
8:50 that whistling
Well, I actually thought those cubes looked pretty awesome. And if someone wants a more even texture they can get it. So it's a rather cool method. Thanks!
Here's a piece of extremelly important info on the acrylic mastic- it's superior for waterproofing ships and easier to smoothen (if there is such a word), so it's a must-have if you want to reenact the battles of Chibi or Salamis in your bathtub, which is, of course, the only legitimate reason to ever have a bath. However, when it comes to Chibi, I'm a Cao Cao fan, therefore Zhuge Liang's strategy never succeedes, so I'm not entirely sure how the acrylic mastic handles fleet fires.
so minecraft slime's are based on DND?
The thing that goes round and round is now mine!
The performance of that Bach Toccata sounded great, even though the snippets were very short. Do you have any info on the interpreter?
green nail at 4:15?
nice little animation there at the end !
Please make more stop motion videos !! I love them.
i misread the title as how to make your own genitalia as i was scrolling through my recomended
I love the really old Citadel ink from the 80's 🤭
Try using acetic cure silicone (smells like vinegar) and mixing in some cornstarch. Makes it cure waaay faster.
You could always *carve* the cured silicone blob using an X-Acto blade into a cube shape.
Hmmm. After the slime cube of doom had gorged on the first character, instead of the running over his fingers comment, I was expecting "He slimed me". :-D Mildly dissapointed on this video, since from the title I was expecting delicious cubes of jelly, but hey, Lloyd always delivers. :-D
