Thread: Character Stand

Tweet

My local bank just cleaned out its attic and threw away a bunch of great stuff, which I helped myself to.

As soon as I saw that Christmas tree stand on top of the dumpster I knew it would make the perfect base for a PVC-framed character. It's one of those that has screws on four sides that you can adjust in and out to fit any size trunk. With that one and the one I already have but never thought about using, I now have two stable feet for a couple of characters.

Hope this idea helps someone. I know getting things to stand up is always a problem. Now if I can just figure out a use for the stand that has a spike that you hammer up into the bottom of the tree....

Now taking the platform for the dumpster diving competition is Screaming Demons, new to the event but certianly some one to watch...

Hey, don't pick on me. I can only imagine the looks on the faces of all the regulars here when they peek into a dumpster and find those discarded treasures. A hidden camera compilation of those expressions and jumps for joy is a youtube video I would like to see.

Hahaha... indeed. I have done a little 'diving' myself this year... first with cardboard and then with a couple of big barrels. Technically, it was all NEXT to a dumpster, though... The tree stands are a great idea!!

It was ment as a complement for taking the "plunge"
