Thread: My first coffin breaker with my first coffin ghoul .....

Tweet

here is my first real big scale effort for making static halloween props , i have made some gravestones before but this year tried prop dummies etc and made some coffins etc for my yard setup , nothing as inspired as most on the website but because of all the people on this site i have been inspired to try and have a go and now ive got the bug , so hopefully next year i can try bigger and better things , especially with the help of everyones tutorials and instructions . here are a couple of my props ....

Very nicely done! They look great.

Awesome job! They turned out great.

they look great. I love the hanging ghoul with the white hair

they look great but the colors of the leaved on your lawn are amazing true halloween leaves.

I really like those! Especially those coffins.

Your reaching ghoul in the coffin is my favorite . Your home must really stand out from the others in your neighbourhood .

Those bodies are awesome! How do you make your body forms? The look so life like. Great work!

Thank you all for your very kind comments , it really is much appreciated especially as this is my first real attempt at making these static props . The hanging ghoul scarybella was with the morrisons skull .... It was the easiest prop out of all my props this year as you can see and took only about three hours start to finish but everyone liked it as it was outside my yard and lots of people were using there mobile phones to take pictures of there kids and family with it during the evening i was pleasently surprised heres a picture to show you the first stage of construction.... A broom handle and some inch and a half waste pipe and then later padding and an old dustsheet from my work van and not forgetting the grey wig ..... Thanks for the comment on the leaves jollygorilla , i have an asphalt or tarmac driveway so the leaves were to make people think it was a lawn or grass and so with my gravestones to make it more realistic and most thought it was thank you .thank you also soulsiphoner the coffins were made out of old pallets and took quite a while to make as i had to dis assemble the pallets first before i could build them and then to age them with spray paint , but were my personal favourite as well ,the reaching coffin ghoul took the longest and i am really pleased you liked it theundeadofthenight i was not happy with one of the hands but it was so close to halloween deadline i had to finish it but may re make it before next year , i used the mad scientists instructions from expert village.com on youtube for the facial details , which was where i got my instructions for the dummy bodies cyclonejack , thank you for your compliments and with the mad scientists instructions they were fun to make . Again thank you all for your remarks .

Great job! All of them turned out well. I especially like the reaching guy!
