Halloween Pumpkins 2015

[db94]

Hey folks

Well we spent most of the afternoon carving pumpkins and very happy with results

And one that Grinchy will appreciate

Anyone else doing SW pumpkins this year

 

[Joe]

Those are fan-****ing-tastic! Good job! Do you use templates?

 

[spoons]

They are brilliant!

We've done a darth from a template but I just don't have the patience and bits have kind of blurred

My son made a bellum from Zelda with no template which I was impressed by.

 

[Stuart Skinner]

Impressive, love them, just showed my four year old, he wants me to do a turtle, yeah right

Joe - yep, we downloaded transfers from a few different sites, treated ourselves to a proper pumpkin carving set last year and that really makes a difference especially with the small fiddly bits.

Mike your boy has some serious carving skills - the T-Rex is bloody superb, definitely having a bash at it next year

 

[Michael Sith]

Truth be told that's why I havnt carved this year, as he does such cracking ones, ( we are an extremely competitive father son combo :lol: but I know when I'm beat)

Your skills are also superb carving mate :wink:

Nice work guys.

I'm an amateur carver. I try every year, but am not great at it. This year, I took requests from the kids, and gave it my best shot. My JW one I'm pretty proud of, even though there's better out there. Never been able to get this much detail before.

My oldest actually carved his own. Random skull design.

My two young ones wanted Jaws and Monster High, so they got a generic great white and the MH logo.

For our larger pumpkin, I wanted to try something harder. After negotiating with them all, my middle child won out, and got this.

Just as a bonus, because I'm a proud daddy, here's my two little ones. My daughter is Frankie Stein from Monster High, and my younger son is Godzilla in a freaking amazing inflatable Godzilla costume. I followed behind him, playing Godzilla roars on my wife's phone as he trick or treated, which gave a pretty cool effect. In the dark, you couldn't see his face behind that mesh in Godzilla's throat.
