Scarecrow Showdown Discussion

[krough]

I dont know, it will end up being somewhat wingy in texture when im done I hope. Its linen and beef netting. Or maybe it will be more leathery like bat wings.
I dont plan ahead, I just make it.

[Daughter of Darkness]

Nice work,
Is the Krough going to be feathered completely? Looks very creepy so far. I have no more progress yet. My son is having a fundraiser so I am in cookie dough hell this week, until sat, when I can go into the dungeon...er garage and work ;)

Nice work so far you guys.

Oh, by the way...What in the heck is beef netting? lol And where would one purchase such a product? Not for this project, but I can think of some future uses!

[krough]

I dont think I'll feather it completely. It will cost too much and not give me the look I want.
Beef netting is a stretchy net type fabric used to make spider webs.
Bu I like to use it to make clothes for my props

Well, isn't that a crow(or Krough) of a different feather? LOL.

[Daughter of Darkness]

I figured it would take a lot of feathers to cover the whole thing! Looks great as is.

[Sorry I don't have the cartoon window like you]

I know Joe had a stick up his butt, but this is crazy.

[slightlymad]

I hope they used the warming kind

[Dr Morbius]

Thanks guys.

[darryl]

Anyone remember the old Eddie Murphy?
Put a space station up your butt, put radiation up your butt.
Put a tree up your butt, put me up your butt.
Put a stick up your butt!!

[Dr Morbius]

Perhaps another angle.. I also built up the legs to de-emphasize the appearance of anal entry.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b364/DrMorbius02/Picture.jpg

[DeathTouch]

He said anal. Ha ha ha.

[darryl]

I don't want to grow up, my name is death touch.
There's a million things to make fun of on this site.
From anal scarecrows and forum members.
This is the best thing there is.
GEE WHIZ!!

Man I have to much time on my hands. :rolleyes:

[Fangs]

Hey... i have hands almost done :>

[ScareShack]

Dr.M...im loving it!!

[BuriedAlive]

Love his expression, Doc M.

[heresjohnny]

Love the hand fangs!

[Fangs]

Love the hand fangs!


Why thank you HJ :D Now where did i put the mache? .,.... Tee hee :devil:

[kevin242]

Looks like we've got ourselves another great contest. My scarecrow is coming along pretty well and looking very scary. I've been meaning to post some shots but this is the busiest part of the build season and I honestley haven't had the time. DM, Krough, your entries look great! I can't wait to see the finished props!

[morgan8586]

Need to focus-must finish scarecrow....Running out of time....

[Daughter of Darkness]

I did a few hours of work on the sc today. Torso is partially done. I have put alot of hours into this thing and it feels far from done still :confused: ....Head is partially done(thank gawd) Will be working on the body more this weekend. Taking some pics along the way and will do something with them eventually.

[Dr Morbius]

paint progress..I still need to take the pink off the ribs.

BBQ anyone. Jezz thats nasty looking

[heresjohnny]

Dr M that looks like dead sun-dried skin, awesome! How did you do that?

[Dr Morbius]

Dr M that looks like dead sun-dried skin, awesome! How did you do that?

Black base, dark brown wash and light brown dry brush. Thanks guys.:D

[ScareFX]

Looking great Dr Morbius!

[Dr Morbius]

More progress..just gotta finish the coat and crows! Does anyone else have progress pics?

[darryl]

I sure am glad I'm sitting this one out. That's way out of my league Dr. M. Nice job. Nicer than anything I saw at the Spirit Halloween store today.

[Dr Morbius]

Thanks darryl. That's what this forum is all about IMO...making props that are better than the store bought schlock at a fraction of the cost.

[heresjohnny]

That looks fantastic Doc, I STILL love the eyes and the expression!

[heresjohnny]

OK, here is an update:
http://www.johnnyspage.com/images/Picture%201078.jpg http://www.johnnyspage.com/images/Picture%201068.jpg

Wow. Great job heresjohnny! It is looking great.

[Dr Morbius]

Looking good man! That's one very viney guy!

[BobC]

A Few Pictures on the progress of my Scarecrow and a picture of my Hot Glue hands and mold. The Body is free standing paper mache filled with foam on the underside no bucky underneath so its nice and light but strong at the same time. :jol:

[BobC]

Thanks for the Kind words all, I appreciate it. This thing is taking me a long time I am trying to put the most detail into it that I can. I got held back for a week on it when I was vacationing in the Bahamas but the trip was worth it since Im engaged now. We dated for 10 years I thought it was about time to pop the question lol. Later all :jol:

[Hellrazor]

Awesome Hands! How TO !!!

[Hellrazor]

[ScareFX]

[NecroBones]

Did the base-coat of paint on my scarecrow's head. Much more to do. Here's a teaser.

http://halloween.necrobones.com/photos/2006/halloween/a760-teaser.jpg

[krough]

whoa

[heresjohnny]

Tease! What little I can see looks very creepy.

[TearyThunder]

I have been watching the posts as progress has been made on everyone's posts and all I know to say is WOW!!!!!!! Great job everyone!

[Fangs]

Congrats BobC!! :> Those hands look awesome!!!

WoW NecroBones!!! Thanks for the tease..... LOL

[NecroBones]

detritus n. debris. eroded material. disintegrated matter.

http://halloween.necrobones.com/photos/2006/halloween/a765-teaser.jpg

Painted some more tonight. Mostly done with the head. New teaser; shows little. :)

I've been wanting to use the name "detritus" for a prop for years, but never had one deserving of it til now. I starting tossing the idea around a few months ago. I've decided to go forward despite a certain parody video.

[Hellrazor]

I think hes great!

[Dr Morbius]

I'm actually surprised no one has submitted thier scarecrow yet! I just may be the first...? There's only 15 days left folks!

[Zombie-F]

I'm actually surprised no one has submitted thier scarecrow yet! I just may be the first...? There's only 15 days left folks!

Yeah, I have a feeling this contest is gonna be a bust. Just show's that I'll probably not do voting on which contest is next again. :p

[BobC]

I think the contest should have a good turnout. Everyone still has 2 weeks to put something together. A scarecrow isnt that hard to make get an idea in your head and roll with it. I should be done and submiting mine by the end of the week. Later all :jol:

Yeah, I know I've seen pictures posted here from at least several people. I'm still working on the body for mine, and have otherwise been lurking on this thread. Who knows how many people are still working on them? Might be running up closer to the deadlines since it's that time of year to be working on other halloween projects too.

I expect to make a lot of progress on mine this weekend, but probably won't be ready to submit til next week.

[NecroBones]

Yeah, I have a feeling this contest is gonna be a bust. Just show's that I'll probably not do voting on which contest is next again. :p

Heh, I voted for "signs".... but I like my scarecrow too. I would hope that most would go with the flow. :)

[Dr Morbius]

I voted for signs too, but I learned a BUNCH building my SC..It was my first Mache' project. That's one good thing about these contests, I build stuff I normally wouldn't build, and end up with new skills.

[NecroBones]

Yeah, I've done mache before, but not for a LONG time and never with paper towels. This is also my first attempt to use Great Stuff too.. I'm learning a bunch and making a nice cool prop.

[Fangs]

That's one good thing about these contests, I build stuff I normally wouldn't build, and end up with new skills.

I agree with you Dr M..... I like learning how to do new things and seeing what others come up with! :>

[DeathTouch]

Bring on the Scarecrows!

[NecroBones]

Actually getting close to completion now. Done tons of work on it this weekend. Final paint is drying now, and I'm adding the fabric part. Man, I'm running right up to the price limit. But I'm still under it!

New teaser:

http://halloween.necrobones.com/photos/2006/halloween/a791-teaser.jpg

Man, I am SO going to lose! :)

[colinsuds]

i started putting mine together today as it is most likly th last full day ill have to work on any of my projects :( . I wasn't really sure what i was going to do until i was in the rogers yesturday and saw the case for some movie called the tooth faery. So today i nearly finished her, shes not amazing just somehting a little extra for the yard, but she will look awsome with some spotlights.

Don't say that! It looks like PR's Half pumpkin half skull...like Blight? Just a guess..Looks great from what I can see!

[Dr Morbius]

That is awesome Dr. I love it.

[Dr Morbius]

Thank you, DT. I am finished with it, and will submit it tonight.

[NecroBones]

Hehe, well, the teasers are the best views of it, IMHO. :) lol, I'm being too harsh on myself. I know that. I'm always my own worst critic. Heh. :)

Funny you should mention PR's Blight. He and I had similar (not identical, mind you, just similar) ideas this year. We had a good laugh about it a while ago. When you see the whole thing, you'll see that my result is quite different.

[morgan8586]

Dr Morbius-looks good. Too good......

[Dr Morbius]

Thank you..I just submitted it officially.

[Dr Morbius]

Here's another pic..I wish I had a field nearby, but I don't..You'de think that living in Salinas there would be a field I could use, but they are all lettuce, or commercial fields that I can't walk into...oh well.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b364/DrMorbius02/Scarecrow%20contest/Picture047.jpg

[morgan8586]

ok-people.I know your skills are limited. I know your intimidated. I know your scared of not measuring up to the pro's. To heck with that...NOW IS THE TIME. Suck it up and go for it. Finish your scarecrow, start that idea thats been stuck in the back of your mind, and pull the all nighter if you have to. I know your out there. If you need help, a kind word of praise, or a kick in the seat of the pants, just say so. Time is running out.......

[Dr Morbius]

LOL! What he said..

[Dr Morbius]

I took a bunch of pics so here's another I didn't submit...

Yep, I'd love to see a whole bunch of scarecrows when the voting date rolls around. Definitely don't be intimidated. I've never done a scarecrow before, haven't touched mache in a very long time, etc, but I think mine is coming out pretty well. It's all about having an idea and just going with it.

Hey, does anyone know... is it possible to put an inline video in a forum post using YouTube or an IFRAME or something? Can we go back and revise our entry before it becomes publically viewable? I'm guessing I need to get it right the first time.

[colinsuds]

well here is what I did all sunday not much but its all i think i will be able to do with the time left before october 1st. Anyway ill prolly add more and more stuff. like i said before her name is tooth feary based on a movie cover i saw on saturday. if you see the picture ull see that i have a love for burlap :D. Anyway there is still some stuff i have to do witht he hands and some jewlery and such.

[Fangs]

Question! LOL
Does the post/pole have to be wood or can it be pvc?..... I did mine with pvc in the middle..... for the post/pole..... Any help/answers would be greatly appreciated... :> Thank you

[Zombie-F]

Question! LOL
Does the post/pole have to be wood or can it be pvc?..... I did mine with pvc in the middle..... for the post/pole..... Any help/answers would be greatly appreciated... :> Thank you

It can be any material as long as the point that contacts the ground is no greather than 4" x 4". And bear in mind, 4" PVC is a measure of the inner diameter, so if you're using 4" PVC, which has an outer diameter greater than 4", the entry would be disqualified.

[Fangs]

Thank you very much Zombie-F!!! :D Wasn't sure so I thought I'd ask... Luckily its being made out of 1 1/2 pvc.... Whew... Now, back to the building frenzy..... :googly: :D LOL

[NecroBones]

So how many submissions are we expecting this time around? I know we've seen two posted... and there's probably at least a few more lurking.

It's probably hard to guess participation based on this thread... Before my "teasers" it probably looked like I wasn't joining in... except for the picture of the stand I posted a while back.

Anyway, I'm close to submitting mine. Was just waiting on getting some decent pictures together.

[spokanejoe]

I am working feverishly after work at nights to get mine finished so ican submit........(fingers crossed)

[NecroBones]

Got most of it done. Just need to install the head.
I'll post pics later after this crazy wind stops.

[heresjohnny]

Here is an update from me, it lost it's head, I seem to be going in the wrong direction. Does a scarecrow need a head? :googly:
http://www.johnnyspage.com/images/Picture%201147.jpg

[Fangs]

I think it looks very nice with out the head HJ :devil: lol

[Dr Morbius]

I really thought it looked fine before..It had a signature HJ look...I hope you get it finished. I'm sure it will look great when your done.

[heresjohnny]

Thanks Doc! Just wasn't working for me. I managed to get a head back on the scarehj.

http://www.johnnyspage.com/images/Picture%201154.jpg

[NecroBones]

I guess that means you ripped it off intentionally? I thought the head matched the body pretty well. I like the googly eyes though. :)

Time's getting short!

[BloodyRose]

Those eyes should add a nice touch..now I KNOW you're not going to keep them all googly....are you?

[Dr Morbius]

Ooops! That last post was from me...I didn't realize BR had logged on earlier.

[heresjohnny]

Those eyes should add a nice touch..now I KNOW you're not going to keep them all googly....are you?

No, what you need is this... TWO skulls coming out of a pumpkin. :)

lol, glad you enjoyed that. Thought of a minor revision today:

Dear (Mr/Mrs/Ms) Contestant. Your scarecrow entry is (Excellent/Fantastic/Wonderful/Creative). Good (Work/Job/Luck)!

[BobC]

I see in the rules it says.

Scarecrow must be of a height equal to or greater than than 72" tall. One of your photographs must show the entire scarecrow laid out on the ground with a ruler/tape measure next to it detailing the size.

My scarecrow is an upper torso only that measures maybe 42". So does that mean I cant enter? I know its the rules but I mean who says every scarecrow has to have legs or be a certain height. That limits artistic expression. I have a 4X4 in the ground that makes the prop stand well over 72" high does that count as its overall height? :jol:

[krough]

I believe that the height includes the post BobC. But im sure Zombie-F will clarify

[heresjohnny]

I would hope it would be included BobC.

[Dr Morbius]

I already asked this question:
Zombie, I have a question...I noticed in the rules:Scarecrow must be of a height equal to or greater than than 72" tall. One of your photographs must show the entire scarecrow laid out on the ground with a ruler/tape measure next to it detailing the size.



Does this include the poll, or does the Scarecrow ITSELF have to be at least 6 feet? I'm assuming it includes the poll, but you know what happens when we assume!
This means from the point of contact with the ground to the highest point of the scarecrow.

So, the poll counts in the overall height.

[Zombie-F]

Morbius is right. I have ammended the rules to be clearer on that point.

[morgan8586]

Time is running out.......Nothing is better than the last minute push to get everything done! Good luck.

[KryptKittie69]

i don't have time to enter this year, but LOOK at this.
just loaded with all sorts of scarecrow designs!

[krough]

thanks for the link KryptKittie69, that was really cool.

[KryptKittie69]

yeah! Iloved the one with a broken shovel for a foot! :eek:

[krough]

Oh yeah.
Ive wanted to make a Scarecrow like the Mcfarlane Scarecrow
http://www.lipshaw.com/images/monsters2_scarecrow_photo_03_dp.jpg
like in that pic his leg is part farm machinery.
With various farming implements as part of its body, but never have.

Im getting down to the wire here.As far as the deadline...... Define end of the day 9/30?Is that midnight EDT or 5 pm EDT end of the day? lol I am in CA.:devil:

[Fangs]

Man..... these scarecrows are turning out to be awesome!!!! :> Nice job everybody!!!

[Hellrazor]

10 scarecrows. Thats a great turnout. I wonder if there will be more today... the last day tick tock tick tock...

[Hellrazor]

I love that video! I was really sad for the scarecrow.

[Zombie-F]

I tell ya, I always think these builds are going to be failures up until the last minute when I get like 6 entries the last week. Everyone's stuff looks great. I hope we see a few more, but 10 (or is it 11 now?) entries is freaking awesome.

The thing I like most about this was we didn't wind up with 11 pumpkinrot knockoffs. Everyone brought something fresh and new to the table. Good job everyone.

Zombie, if you remember it was suggested that people wait until the end to post, advice I for one decided to follow. And I do think this is the best turnout, and best variety of really quality entries yet. It is going to be very tough to vote! Thanks for hosting this contest.

[Dr Morbius]

Yea, although it got off to a rocky start, the contest is a huge success...even as close to Halloween as this is, folks found a way to participate. I echo HJ, when I say thanks for hosting.

[krough]

Awesome entries all around. Its going to be very hard to vote on this one.
Great work everyone.

[morgan8586]

I really like the great variety in the various SC's. Although, I was expecting more of a turnout. I know the history of these contests has been 12 people or less, I thought there would be more. Look at how many times the rules and discussion have been viewed...Plus, we have what- 260 active members on role? If only 10 percent participated thats 26 people....I invisioned an army of Scarecrows-50,60 minimum.....
(I feel better now that I got that off my chest. Thanks for listening.)

[Zombie-F]

Well, all the entries are in! In total there are 19, but one person didn't include their tape measure shot and I need to start the voting, so I'm (unfortunately) going to have to exclude that one. That's why I stress in the future everyone really examines the rules before entering. I feel bad doing it, but I asked so many others before to include their tape measure shot and to just let this one slide would be unfair to everyone else.

Regardless, the voting will begin later this morning, once I'm done preparing the polls. When you vote, make sure you read the voting guidelines in the poll thread CAREFULLY. Anyone who votes for more than 3 entries will have ALL of their votes discounted. Any entrant who votes for their own entry will have their votes discounted and will be excluded from winning any prizes.

[KryptKittie69]

i think i'm stupid.
i could only vote for one scarecrow.
am i missing something?
I want my other two votes!!!! LOL

[Dr Morbius]

Yes, please read the voting thread rules carefully. You CAN vote for up to three.

[Hellrazor]

I cant wait to see the mystery contestent as I only see 17 entry pics and Zombie says there is 1 more after the exclusion... neato

[KryptKittie69]

well, doc, i've gone back and read the thread "carefully" and can't find how I can vote for more than one.
Care to enlighten? thanks.

Ah, I fucked up and forgot to turn on multiple voting options. I have to go back and reomve the poll and re-post it. Sorry about that. :(

[KryptKittie69]

phew! Thanks, Zombie!

[Dr Morbius]

Sure! I'd be happy to..
If you go here: http://www.hauntforum.com/showthread.php?t=3944
You will see, after the list of picture links Zombie provided, 2 rules:

There are only two rules in this poll:
You may NOT vote for your own submission.
You can NOT vote for more than three submissions

So as you can see, you may vote for up to 3 submissions. (As per the rules..assuming multiple voting is turned on..hehe)

[KryptKittie69]

zombie addressed the issue already, and fixed it.
it was a technical issue, doc.
not a semantic one.

:rolleyes:

[Zombie-F]

Ok, I got it working right now. :p

That's what I get for setting something complicated up before 7:00 AM. :D

[KryptKittie69]

thanks!

[Dr Morbius]

Oh BEEP! That's awesome! Sorry you didn't make it in time...It looks like you put alot of work into it.

[roadkill]

I have to say I am awed by the submissions this year. Everyone has a fantastic new scarecrow for their haunt.

I know I'm working on one but - eh - if it's done it's done - if not - oh well.

Y'all did a great job on your scarecrows. Very inspiring.

[Beepem]

thanks...yeah....my camera couldnt take a picture with the inches not just being a yellow blur, so i just did the end but then that didnt count

[heresjohnny]

heresjohnny spits the dust out of his mouth, buys a beer and a bag of popcorn, and sits down to enjoy the race.

[krough]

Grabs a soda and joins HJ in the stands. LOL

[Dr Morbius]

Keeps running like Forest Gump.

[Fangs]

Fangs grabs a soda and joins HJ and krough... watching Dr M. run! :D LMAO

[NecroBones]

Man, what a great turnout. Good luck everyone!

[heresjohnny]

heresjohnny breaks out binoculars for krough, fangs and himself, cracks a soda and orders pizza.

[Fangs]

mmm.... fangs loves pizza :>

[heresjohnny]

heresjohnny cannot even see Dr Morbius anymore, he is so far ahead!

[Dr Morbius]

I never would have guessed in a million years I would be this far ahead...or ahead at all, for that matter! Thanks guys.

[BobC]

Wow I got 3 votes...lol falling back on my Halloween display to make a scarecrow I really didnt need payed off huh...lol ohh well cant win them all maybe next time....

[DeathTouch]

Hey BobC, I voted for you. I thought your scarecrow kicked ass.

[BobC]

Hey man thanks for the vote..lol Even though the scarecrow set my display back, I got a cool weather proof prop out of it so I really cant bitch..lol
I had a story I was going to post about my scarecrow I thought there was some discussion about storys early on in the contest but noone posted one so I left mine out. Did anyone else have a story to go along with their scarecrow? Later all. :jol:

[DeathTouch]

Thank you BobC. Yea, I had a really good story. So good in fact he had to stay out of the contest because of it. My scarecrow is in rehav right now. The Doctors say he is doing great.

[Dr Morbius]

Hey Zombie...I guess you meant Sunday is when the polls close? Just so folks know if they have more time to vote, just a clarification may be in order, as the poll thread says this:
The poll will be open to voting for seven days. So, next Saturday, at about 6:30 AM (EDT), the poll will automatically be closed and the winners will be determined.

[Beepem]

so morbius, whatcha gonna do with those virgil cd's?

[Dr Morbius]

I'm not sure..play em in my haunt I suppose. I've only heard samples from FE's site so I have to listen to them before deciding...of course, the contest aint over yet!

[Zombie-F]

Hey Zombie...I guess you meant Sunday is when the polls close? Just so folks know if they have more time to vote, just a clarification may be in order, as the poll thread says this:

Yes, I meant Sunday. My bad. :p

[Fangs]

(not to mention to come back on Halloween!) Thank you for having this contest!!! It was a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :>
