So I tried the plaster technique for the wax. It started off really nice, dripping down the sides, but it was too wet to try and get to drip off the sides. As the plaster hardened, of course, it just started looking more like a rock.... So I pulled it all off and am back to wax. I'd love to use it, ...

here it is all nice and painted up! looks pretty awesome to me! now it's time for the wax!


I'm going to be using plaster of paris for this part, any recomendations? Just mix and drip on?

Here's what it looks like so far.

I'm in the painting process right now. When I get the plaster on, I'll post another!

Haunt on! Thanks a million. So even just splicing the wires, keeping the hot with the hot and the neutral with the neutral, and securing them with a wire nut would work too if I was going cheap cheap?

I'm working on a candelabra for this up coming Halloween. Here's the first stage of it, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/ArcEidolon/Candelabra.jpg I have 5 120V AC electric candles from JoAnn fabrics. I don't want 5 plugs to plug into an outlet. So my question is, does anyone know how to take ...

I'd say about 12 is when kids start getting to the point of being to old, of course I won't turn anyone away who dresses up, no on the other hand, when I get a mob of highschoolers, who are still wearing the same clothes they wore to school, I'm cautious, 1st I don't want them coming back later and...

Well, I don't think you can never be too old to go trick-or-treating. But about 4 years ago,.... I was.... 18.... there we go, I had to decide between, going out and gettin a sugar rush in the frickin snow, or, stay back, hide in the shadows of my mausoleum and scare the costumes off little kids all...

If you're still takin ideas for what to put in the center there, more crypts and even a fountain if you'd like. Water always steals peoples attention and makes them unaware of what's going to happen next. Just keep it running and it won't freeze. And make sure to space your planks a little bit apart...

Yeah, having something like a boardwalk rules for a yard haunt. It keeps people where you want them and when you do it right, you don't have to worry about uneven pathways for tripping hazards and such. That and they're just fun to make. I'll have to check out the free section, is there really that ...

TK421 (awesome name btw), our first front yard haunt was a Mausoleum, a small simple thing but still a mausoleum! Decorating the inside is always the best, lots of spiders and skulls! Where is that... hmm... lol. If it doesn't rain alot where you live when you build your haunt, we used those big Qui...

Holy cow, well I guess you can pump something out that awesome when you have a lot of money! Thanks Litemare! The yard with the water is out of control! I wonder if the HOA or OSHA got on them. We got busted one time for having a board for a roof for our fort in our backyard when I was a kid, so eve...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/ArcEidolon/pi2.jpg Here's the only pic I found that showed the grand scale. there are others, but not from an angle you can see the full bow.... sorry... the first red arrow on the left is the tip of the bow point. the second is where the bow starts and the th...

I posted a topic for the Pirate Ship we did two years ago under, A Pirate Ship Haunting in the pines. Let me know what you think!

Here's the Pirate Ship we did in the Halloween of '07. The ship was 36ft long and 25ft tall. It consisted of quarter bow of the ship up front with the cannon hole you walk through. Then into the ship with all the rigging and up to the captains quarters. A helm with a phantom at it, dead pirates ever...

Gurney? I think that a name for something I don't know about, lol. Thankyou for your comment!
