This is my first post here....hi. Well I built this guy last year. I bought the pumpkin from Micheals. I LOVE this pumpkin but they wouldnt sell it to me at first so I had to start smacking heads....Anyway I got one. (no heads were actually smacked, however I did happen to bump my head while reaching up to grab the pumpkin in question. Anyway.....

I like it... is he routed out abit then airbrushed or all airbrushed?

Yup. I dremeled out the eye and mouth holes. Then I used ping pong balls for the eyes, apoxie sculpt for the lids and the gums. for the teeth I used foam core and basically just cut the shape and used a pencil to put texture on them. I made the stem from wire and sheet foam covered in a t-shirt and airbrushed that puppy.

very nice!

The teeth and gums are so great! As is the rest of it. What a lot of personality. Good work.

I like it! Great work..

That is so cool
How tall is it? It looks like it is close to the ceiling in part of the picture.
Is it on a stand or set?

I never really measured I'd say about 6 maybe 7 feet. I found an old steel coat rack at the dump and used that as the base/body. It's pretty sturdy.

I absolutely love it -- I want it!!!

That rocks!
