For a price, he can get you what you want. Just be careful what you wish for. Mua Ha Ha!

Meditrina · 10-30-2005, 07:28 PM

Ok, keep in mind that I never, ever did this before. Not even as a child. So we kept ours basic. Now that I know I can do it, next year we will do something fancier.

Halloweens not really big is australia, i dont think i have ever seen a pumpkin used for anything but eating, but i must say, those on this thread are awesome.... how long does one take to carve(approx) We do get the kids running around for lollies but the costumes are lame compared to the ones on the other thread posted here.

I am a big fan of the classic look... excellent pumpkins!

fresnelly · 10-31-2005, 12:26 PM

This one isn't mine, but it would be remiss of me not to share the link; A real pumpkin mod computer!

Here's the link for how they did it:

pandafaye · 10-31-2005, 07:32 PM

There isn't a lot to say about mine. I just plain love pirates.

ARRRRRR! HOPE YE BE HAVIN' A HAPPY HALLOWEEN, YE SCURVY WENCHES!

JumpinJesus · 10-31-2005, 07:52 PM

Some awesome looking pumpkins in here. But a pirate? Come on, now. Everyone knows that ninjas are way better than pirates.

pandafaye · 10-31-2005, 08:00 PM

I was dressed as a ninja. Does that make it better, JumpinJesus?

vermin · 10-31-2005, 08:38 PM

Also carved with a steak knife. I re-sized the picture with the intent of using it as my avatar until halloween was over, but never got around to it.

Lead543 · 10-31-2005, 10:28 PM

My pumpkin was stolen off my steps last week.

Damn college kids...

*mummble*

Mister Coaster · 11-01-2005, 10:25 AM

Here are some of mine, I will have more to post, but I haven't downloaded them all just yet.

"Pouncer"

"Dead Man's Party"

"Lord Vader"

"Pennywise"

"It's Never Too Late"

"Casper"

"The Butler Did It"

Mister Coaster · 11-14-2005, 07:19 AM

Here are some more photos (finally) of a little carving party my friends and I had, I'm the redhead with the Spiderman shirt. I actually carved Captain Barbossa and The Thing.

All pumpkins are real, even though the one in the foreground looks fake!

You have to start them early. My daughter, 4 months.
Cute child picture deleted as per rules -- maleficent

Lets get going...

More carving...

The Jammin Pumpkins, The Iron Giant, Hellboy, King Tut, Captain Barbossa, The Thing and Maleficent

And a few standard faces.

Enjoy!

pinkie · 11-14-2005, 04:22 PM

Better late than never I suppose.

Hi everyone...

analinguist · 12-03-2005, 12:54 AM

mister coaster those pumpkins are really nice.

Mister Coaster · 01-17-2006, 07:23 PM

Just reviving this old topic to brag a bit. I submitted several of my pumpkin carvings to Pumpkin Master's carving contest. I received a letter from them today, and I won a prize! 3rd place in the "faces" category for "Dead Man's Party" (above). The prize is $125. Not bad. Definately more than covers all costs of pumpkins, carving materials and stamps to enter the contest! Who's insane now?

I'm not sure if any other of the designs won or not. The letter didn't specifically say that they didn't, so maybe there are more letters en route... (I can hope, right?)

Slippery Slope · 01-18-2006, 05:14 AM

Congratulations! Well deserved indeed. Your carvings are excellent!

I think we should all vote for Flyman for president.
