Been wanting to do this project for a couple of years - finally got around to it. They are all 1/4" ply and 1x1's for the column and 3/4" ply trim. 90% of the wood i had in my garage from other projects. Gargoyles are from Target (the project started with them), and the lanterns from Home Depot. Followed Terra's painting techniques for tombstones. The shorter ones go in between my sections of fence.

Those turned out GREAT!! Love the scale and you really rocked the finish on them. Please post pics of them once set up. Really nice job!

Nice job, I'm really considering making some of these before halloween. How tall are the smaller ones?

Sweet columns, the mossing with the paint will really pop them in low light. Hope you wash them in a blue or green flood.

Those look outstanding!!
I picked up a couple of those cheapie Target lanterns too...they're great for prop use, but this is a really good application for them. Wow!

Looks fantastic. I'm also looking forward to seing them on full display.
When storage is a concearn, put your monster props under the kids beds.
