Things we made

Post by Spookymufu » Wed Aug 26, 2015 3:29 pm

While I was on vacation in So Cal for Scare LA, my sister and I made some tombstones and a crypt in about 4 days, here are some pics.....

the small one was built to house/conceal one of my sisters projectors

This is the base coat of paint on.

I agree with nevermore, those look really good! I wish I could make something that looks realistic like that!

Your work is, as always, dead on.

The finished are awesome, especially the small marker.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Thanks!

Nevermore, we actually talk about this but I dont think they would sell because it cost us so much in time/materials, mostly time, that they would be too expensive for the general public when they could go to Walmart or something and buy some for less then half the cost. Maybe more serious haunters might be interested but who knows. The pink foam comes from Home Depot and for some reason in Cali it only comes in 2' x 8' x 1" pieces.

Think you could post some kind of how to video? It would be interesting to try it sometime, assuming I'll get the time and money to do so. :lol:

Wait just a gosh-darned minute;

SoCal, real lawn, that's still green. :roll:

I always love seeing the new props you make each year, Spooky. Your photos always get my Halloween spirit going.
