I feel like I've been working on the house forever and I really needed to do something else, so I decided to build a new Pumpkin King.
Started with some extra plastic pipe I had lying around. I know they look like giant chicken feet, but they'll get "vined".
Another shot of the legs and, the bent piece of white is actually the spine. Just happened to take the phot during the commercial for the new "Carrie" movie.
Here is the body the next day. It took the better part of a day to twist up plastic bags and hot glue them to the frame. This guy is 8 ft tall!
The chest is small, but I think it works. I actually took a milk jug and cut it in half for the two halves of the chest, then overlayed twisted grocery bags for the ribs.
I attached the hands and continue to add twisted up plastic bags. After I secure a bag, I run my heat gun over it to help shrival and tighten the vines.
The left arm will be raised when he finally goes outside. I might even hook up a motor so the arm moves. (If I can find a quiet motor.)
