It's almost that time when Halloween is over and I start thinking of next year. I wanted to post some pics and ideas from my 2015 Halloween experienc.
This year's theme was "Science Fiction / Aliens"
The main props built for this year were:
1) Han Solo in Carbonite
2) Dr. Who TARDIS
3) Crashed UFO
4) Tripod UFO
Some smaller props were an R2D2 Trashcan, Pool Noodle Light Sabers, and. Girl headed dog (Mars Attacks)
The food this year was a combination of creepy alien food and food from various science fiction shows.
===================
Han Solo in Carbonite
For this year, I decided to make a Han Solo in Carbonite prior. This is one that will be kept in my house long term, so I wanted to do it right. For details of the build, I'll refer you to my post on The RPF Forum: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=245188
TARDIS
I was inspired by a few other TARDIS builds (http://www.instructables.com/id/Almost-Life-Size-Tardis/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BaVax0cArg). I plan to post more details about the construction, but it was built to come apart. The four walls, roof, and base are all separate pieces for storage.
UFOs
I was really inspired by this Area 51 build: http://www.instructables.com/id/UFO-Invasion-at-Area-51-20/
I built the UFOs out of patio umbrellas, then used purchased acrylic domes, plastic tubing and lots of small light kits. I'll post more instructions for those too.
R2D2
We turned a white Trashcan into R2D2 by painting. We used pop caps for the knobs, we used a tub plug for the camera sensor, and white vinyl gutter pieces for the legs.
Following will be some pictures of this year's decorations.
