Jack Skellington Tombstone / Prop
This has been my most time consuming prop to date. Still have work to do and it's moving along better than expected! Big shout out to Pumpkin5 for the inspiration for this prop. Here is her sketch that I pulled off of one of her albums:

I've done the same thing, but I guess live and learn, always take pictures, ALWAYS! Even if you don't like the way it ends up turning out, you don't have to post the pictures....but people love to see the progression when you end up loving it. And I absolutely LOVE how this is turning out, and what you did with ordinary foam is really amazing. How did you make the pumpkin look like molded plastic? It is really amazing. And your Jack head and hands are probably the best I've seen. Seriously, it takes my breath away. (in a good way) 
I think that the plastic look comes from the paint that I used. I used an "elastomeric" paint. It is much thicker that regular paint and it has a nice sheen to it. I use white and mix colors with it to get the desired color I am looking for. Because the paint is thick, it tends to "smooth" out the foam (however I do sand it as much as I can before hand). The only thing that I did not make was the pumpkin stem. That came from a real pumpkin!
