It looks awesome and I bet the motion makes it creepier. I also like that it isn't another toe pincher--not that there's anything wrong with toe pincher coffins, but the square coffin adds a kind of individuality to a cemetery the same way DIY tombstones do.

It has an inside too! (that is why it is not a facade)
Didn't get all the details done because of bad weather.

I like you dragon.I had a big castle few years back,wasnt a walk thru.but I used 2 garage door openers,1 had an alligator over a moat.and a dragon on the other.I wanted a knight,but never got one.did you build that suit of armor?

Thanks! I'd like to see some of your pictures of your castle. Sounds like you had lots of details.
We had really bad winds, a snowstorm, then some sunshine, then more wind and rain.
It actually stood up pretty good considering it was made from lumber wrap and the main support structure was from carpet tubes.
I wasn't able to get everything completed because I was fighting the weather so much.
Yes, I made the knight's costume and it was the biggest pain out of the whole project.
It is out of various materials. (paper mache, cardboard and craft foam)
My favorite thing from the whole project was the dragon. (also paper mache)

the only pics i have of the castle are on a video tape,the vhs style,ill see if any of my buds have a picture of it.my castle was all hinged ply wood with scaffold behind it.the hinged wood was nice for storage,but took 6 of us to set it up.

Sounds like quite a procedure but probably pretty sturdy.
Hope you can locate a picture.
