Thread: What Are You Building Now?

Tweet

I know alot of people post their props that they are working on in a seperate thread but alot of props go unmentioned unless you peak into peoples albums. I am wondering what people are currently building and if there are any pics to share?

I am currently working on a peice for my Nightmare Before Christmas Scene. I am building an 8ft black and orange snake that most of you know swallows the Christmas Tree Christmas Eve. I am building him from Paper Mache but I have made his skeleton to mache over. If you use your imagination you can see him taking form He is made out of old planter pots, duct tape, dryer vent hose and plastic sacks. HIs eyes will be ping pong balls and his tongue is a bungee rope. I will wrap he around the base of Halloween Tree Jack and Zero will be decorating in my yard.

i know what you mean, i am one of those people who just have things in my album. i guess i like hanging in the background. i am working on columns and fence for now. i have almost completed the two main columns, these have taken a long time because of the wiring for lights and speakers etc, but i am pleased with them, when these are finished i will start on 6 smaller ones,these should go faster since i am not adding anything axtra to them , then the fence...this is a large project so this is all i will be doing or the 2010 season..

If y'all get a chance, check out thegoodwitch's columns!!! They are AMAZING!!!!! Actually beyond AMAZING!!! Here's the link: http://www.halloweenforum.com/album.php?albumid=2452
Mr.Gris- great job so far on the snake!
I'm working on columns, gargoyles, and will soon start on a foam casket. Then 4 zombie pallbearers.
And as soon as I find my list (been looking for it for months.), then I'll start more projects.

Right now we are working the following,,

MM Reaper just needs to be painted
PVC Spider just needs a butt
Chandielier just needs wired for the C7 flicker bulbs
"Timberlan Cemetery" sign just needs C7 Flicker Candles installed
FCG will be done tonight, but shes for a mausoleum/peppers ghost that has not yet been started
skull fountain has been started, but just basic shapes have been cut
A sweet Scourge skull C7 candle that i need to paint
a paper mache blucky skull that just needs cut out and painted
roughly 40 candles are made and wired, just need stuffed and painted
witches kitchen shelf is done, but i need more potion bottles, jars, etc
my 2010 costumes,, almost done with the 3 different ones im using this year
my wifes 2010 costume (A very sexy Harley Quinn)
Lots of eyeballs that need clear coated
raven with eyeball that i found on here the other day,,,,
Abigail LeFey stone (like Terra's weeping angel stone)
My daughters cross stone is shaped, but needs everything else

i think thats it, but i could be wrong as my garage right now is nothing but halloween projects ,,, everywhere,, !!! I havent even touched my Trans Am this year cause im to busy to do car shows doing halloween stuff with the kidz!!

I'm still working on my tree, I just don't have the time to devote to it right now.

I'm working on a "Lizzie Borden" tombstone and also making a "Mom" blucky skeleton trick-or-treater to go along with my "Dad" and "Kid" Blucky TOTs I made for my yard a few years ago.
Maybe make some more tombstones later. I need to fix my wolf's tail, too.
Your snake is coming along great, Mr. Gris. I still need to chack out Good Witch's album.

Everyones projects sound so great!The Reapers WS6 you sound like you have your hands full in projects. I would love to see pics of the spider and more.

Daveinthegrave the Bluckys sound pretty sweet.

Im in my fourth quarter of nursing school and I have no time to make anything. Time permitting, and after I get some of my projects around the house done I plan on knocking some small stuff out. I really want to do some pillars and a cool cemetery entrance sign but Im worried about the storage situation/cost. I dont know, I have some extra foam blocks and some pink foam so I might make some new tombstones. I think I want to make some stones with 'bases' on the bottom, rather than just the stone coming out of the ground. Does that make sense?

Im thinking also that I have to make some more groundbreakers. Next quick project will be turning my big fake cheapo black cauldron into a big rusty crusty cauldron that actually looks real. There is a cool tutorial on one of the forums. So much to do, so little time.

Memento, whats the tree going to be? Like a full size scary tree? Sounds cool, will you be ok with the storage of it? Got any pics?
