Haunted Forest

[psyko99]

Being in an inner city neighborhood we lack a real forest, so we decided to build one. We have about 5 trees built, and are currently dry brushing some highlights and shadows. Our only challenge is where to store them after the haunt; my neighbor wants to be able to actually use his garage :)

WOW! That is a great idea!! Cement form tubes for trees...hmmm...

Yup, storage will be a killer, but the sure look worth it.

Great job psyko! I helped my friend decorate her offices last year and we made these trees, they were a big hit at her jobsite. Yours turned out nicely.

[Lady Nyxie]

They turned out awesome!

[Aelwyn]

Looks AWESOME! :)

Looks like lots of work, and well worth it...NICE!!

[Terrormaster]

Wow, that's cool - wish I would have had time to do something like that myself for the faerie theme?

Forget storage, those look good enough to leave in the yard all year.

Those are too cooool!

[Holyhabanero]

Very nice and inspiring. Thanks!

Great job! Bring them inside and use them as Christmas trees hahaha jk.

No shed? wrap them in plastic and bunch them together and build a tin enclosure up against the house just for them.

[Haunted Bayou]

Great idea. Can't wait to see the finished yard.

[Bloodhound]

cool trees, I think that azk is right "No shed? wrap them in plastic and bunch them together and build a tin enclosure up against the house just for them".

[Lauriebeast]

Those trees are very cool and nicely done.

[psyko99]

Thanks everyone. It's amazing what we can get done with 5 of us and two Sunday afternoons. I do have them wrapped in plastic now, but I don't know if the wife would go for the tin shed. :)

They look good...alot of work
curious as to why you dont go out and find real branches to use as trees, (I know you live in a city but I'm sure you can find some)...then when you are done you can toss them , burn them

[Silent Requiem]

where can you get the cement tubes? did you have to buy them?

[psyko99]

Yeah, we had to buy the sono tubes. We got them for about $4 each at Mr. Seconds.

[Ghostess]

Very nice! I wish I had room for lots of creepy trees!

[DeadSpider]

Oooo nice.
I look forward to seeing finished pictures of your new forest!
Don't forget to add some for us :)
