Thanks Oct31, working with wire and latex doesn't always work out for me either. I've been improvising with the pumpkin guy so I can make him fatter and rounder. I should have added more wiring to him before I started but I'm liking the effect that I have created. It sure is using up a ton of latex though. The prop is now standing tall at just under 3 foot not including the stem and 2 feet wide including his hands. Will post more pics. as soon I can.
