So i have made a mould using instant mould of efgt scenery for my goblins bases, i have pressed the gs into the mould and i dont know whether i have to leave it in the mould to harden for 24 hours or if i can take it out after a 5 minute pressing period and the gs wont just lose the detail, sinking back to a useless pice of hard gs. thanks in advance!

Unless you're using a lot of lubricant I certainly would recommend taking it out of the mold before at least about 2 hours pass.

Be sure to post a picture of the cast! It sounds very interesting!

You shouldn't need to use any lubricant if it is instant mold you are using.
The details in Green stuff will certainly soften more the sooner you remove it, but if it is only planks then you probably wont notice too much.

As ukfb said - shouldn't need lubricant and taking it out before it is set might ruin some of the detail.
