As i have said in a few other post i have become one of the latest victomes of the world of spooky town. all those will lights and sounds have drawn me in and wont be letting go any time soon. well soon after finding them i ran out and purchased all the pieces i liked. then i went on to ebay and found all the older ones that i liked. once i had the pieces i wanted it was time to figure out what to do with them.
i have a dining room table that i wanted to be the display table but the pieces i had seemed a bit crowded on it. i then decided to make a "island style display. my idea was to build a Island out of foam. the theme was a old island that had a huge cave running under it along with houses and such that have been built on the island. this works well this year due to the high amount of large pirate pieces that are being sold this year.
the entire structure is made from 2 inch insulation foam that can be purchased at home depot. We used hotwire foam factory pro tools kit for all the cutting. after the cutting was done we used paper mache and monster mud to coat the entire piece. these pics show the building of the the island up to the point that it is today. still a TON of painting and landscaping design left to do. I put a few of the pieces on it for some of the pics to give a better idea as to what i was thinking. The first few pics are pics of the designing stage just make a ruff idea as to what we want. i will continue to post more pics as this project moved forward. please feel free to add any comments are suggestions. any and all input is much appreciated.
I am just.. utterly speechless........
