I will look through my pile and see if I picked one up.

I have been doing the same of going through my videos and photos and all those catalogs

Hope you had a nice time at Transworld Thanks again for your help on answering my questions concerning the trade show. I sure had a great time, and hope to go back in the near future.

Your Hellhound is looking great so far!

Thanks for your quick reply and from what I've seen, you're a professional

Hi Terra,
I know this is off topic, but you seem very knowledgeable in foam and so many other facets of crafts. I want to create a center console for my 1970 Monte Carlo and was wondering if I used foam to make the form of it, what would I use to harden it so it was virtually unbreakable....or should I go in a totally different direction then initial foam. I am used to using fiberglass on cars to repair holes and rust as well as bondo and like how the fiberglass can be sanded down to a smooth surface. However, I have seen many forums where they have actually built entire cars with foam and used many forms of sealer to harden the object. I really don't like doing things half way and wanted to know from a pro their opinion. Thanks for your time and keep up the great work! Halloween has ALWAYS been my favorite time!

Hi Terra, just saw your gravestone tutorial and can't wait to get started on my new career. I've been in the design world for over 26 years, mainly on the computer now, but before traditional. I've always wanted to create museum and theme park attractions and believe it's time to begin...thanks for the inspiration! The great thing is I will keep my design skills creating kiosks and implement it into my first love of sculpting. Thanks again!

Thanks for your input! I agree on keeping the lights "on". Love the tentacle prop tutorial! Thanks for sharing it. I may look into finding those since I have the pirate theme going.

Thanks Terra. Still playing with the lighting. I was hoping for the "cannon effect" but it looks like internal cabin lights instead. Will check around for some other twinkling lights. Not sure if I want to keep his eyes flashing or just "on". Here are two clips, lights on and lights off. By the way, all of your pictures and tutorials are very impressive!! Thanks for all your time in sharing and posting. Let me know if the links dont work!!

Terra, Had to share this with you and get your thoughts! I loved your idea of using light inside the tombstone. I'm making a Blackbeard one and decided to incorporate lights for his eyes and the lit fuses. I'm also going to use "flicker" lights behind the ship to simulate cannons going off. I carved the stone, "weathered", mud coat, and black detail paint and dry brush clean up. I'm working on the lights now but wanted to share it. Want to thank you again for the various ideas you have posted that is what gave me the idea! Will share the finished product once i am through.
