I drew half of the face and then used the cut out pieces to make the other side symetrical.

I used 1" to 1 1/2" wide pieces of cardboard secured with hot glue to accentuate the features that I had cut out.

This process takes a very, very long time. That is why I will not be having these pumpkins in my display this year. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.

Well, I’ve been working hard on all of my props and I’m afraid I will not be able to finish all of them for this year. Here is an update on the “Scaretaker” prop.

After completing the papier mache I filled the head with expanding foam.

I used a "T" joint and short PVC pipe inside the foam to use for securing the head to the body.

I built the body out of PVC pipe. I used 1" screws to secure them all together.

I carved the foam on the hands then applied several layers of papier mache. Again I used PVC pipe so I can secure them to the body I made.

I then used chicken wire to bulk up the body. It is secured to the PVC with hot glue where it touches the pipe.

I used some old Church clothes to dress him up. My wife unstitched them and sewed Velcro into them so I could get them on.

This is what it looked like all put together except for the head. I still need to sculpt a face and eyes. I decided that if I don't finish the head tomorrow he can be a headless Scaretaker.

It looks pretty awesome with the blacklights. I'll pick up some old shoes from DI tomorrow for him.

I’m very happy with how the body turned out. I made him so he separates at the waist, so he will be a little easier to store. If I can’t finish the head by tomorrow night I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. He looks cool headless.
