Here are the tombstones I have been working on so far. I still have to add moss and more aging to both of them. The coloring is off because of the flourescent light it was taken under. Sorry if the pictures are blurry...im not that great at taking pictures. Have any suggestions? And does anybody know where there are some good tombstone templates or shapes to copy?

Here are the rest of the files:
P.S. I used 2 inch foam for both of them. The last file shows the PVC in the bottom of the tombstones to insert rebar into and keep them from blowing away.

They look good.Not sure about templates but local grave yards have a wealth of ideas in them.Grab the camera and take some shots of different shapes.

Great tombstones nightrider productions. We also put pvc and rebar into our tombstones to keep them from blowing away. October is still hurricane season here in Florida and the pvc and rebar work great for the winds we get that time of year. Your tombstones look very creative and have a nice authentic look to them.

I think these look really good. Very authentic looking! I've done quite a bit of research on stones lately in real cemeteries and these look very real. Great job! I think the script is what adds the most realism.
And I also use the PVC rebar technique. Works AWESOME.

Those look great. Did you use white beaded foam or the blue/pink insulation?

Thanks everybody. I used the blue DOW boards, and beat the crap outta them with a wire brush, then carved the letters with a hot knife (heated exacto knife) from a fabric store.
