Thread: The Slaughtered Lamb is coming together

Tweet

Greetings,

My plan is to go "all out" this Halloween with new facades for everything. One new addition is a pub facade (the Slaughtered Lamb) that will go around my tool shed in the front yard.

Here is what I have been able to build so far. This is the basic 1x1 framing that the styrofoam sheets will go over. In this pic, I have created an animated GIF to show you what it will, hopefully, look like when I'm done.



Just like my other facades, this piece will come apart in sheets and will be able to stack for storage. Here is another animated GIF to show the current panels and how they would come apart.

Is this on the right hand side of your driveway?

It's looking fantastic - I'm just trying to envision where this is going to be in your haunt.
I like the "old world" architectural styling...your entire haunt is going to look incredible!

Can't wait to see it...what are your neighbors saying about all the construction?

Yes, this will be going on the right side of my driveway. It will be snug up against the garage, which houses the tower and apothecary. This is the first year I will actually put up a facade for the shed. In years past, I've just done some webbing and a coffin. Simple stuff.

My immediate neighbors actually get a kick out of seeing things come together. They're very complimentary. Most of the construction is glue and paint, which is pretty quiet. I set things up so I can see how they are progressing, but then I take it apart again and store it until October.

Wow looking good. I bet the neighbors are getting the itch. How could anyone not want to start their own Halloween village if they saw this kind of stuff going on?

As a regular frequenter of English hostelries, I feel qualified to say You're doing a great job there TK!!
I do hope you will be keeping the authenticity going by serving warm ale, singing lewd songs and brawling drunkenly with the neighbours on Halloween night.

Wow, the design is looking terrific. Thanks for the animation by the way. That was coooool......

Samuel Adams Octoberfest is a great one to serve [hint hint]
cool animation!

The beer will be served (to family and friends) inside the house.

I really like Blue Moon, Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale, and ShockTop Belgian. Guess I'm mainly a Belgian White kinda guy. Of course, it would go completely against my nature to refuse a Guinness!!
I'm just not a hops fan -- can't enjoy an IPA.

My wife is a little nervous about the "Slaughtered Lamb" sign. She things it might be too icky for little ToTs. For now, she's just thinking of possible alternatives, so I'm going to keep building. Hopefully, when she sees the work I put into the sign, she won't argue against it. I mean, c'mon! It's the Slaughtered Lamb!!
