Just so everyone knows, since Bodybagging donated to the prize pool, the entry that Palerider and BB created won't be in the voting. However, it was so totally awesome that I wanted to include showing it because it is an amazing display of what you can make on less than a $20 budget.

[Bodybagging]

Glad that everyone appreciates the Prop, Ill be sure to pass on the good news to Palerider when I see him, for those questions about realism and texures, all I can say is its amazing what a little bit of Latex and rasp can do, Thats the BEST thing about whitestyrofoam, its shaves very easy!

Textures were created using a brush stroke to create woodgrain, and a stipple stroke to create worked iron.

[skullboy]

Wow ,That really looks awesome guys.Nice work.

[DeathTouch]

Awe, that is awesome. I thought that bodybagging was just another pretty face.. LOL. Awesome job on that.

[trishaanne]

Excellent prop. It looks so REAL! You guys taking orders? :p

[Lauriebeast]

That prop is absolutely beautiful. You guys did an awesome job on it. Did you use regular styrofoam or something different and where did you get it? Again, great job!

[Sickie Ickie]

Ah! A lathe! That explains it. :) Nice pics!

[turtle2778]

WOW, that looks totally real. Great Job!

[Bodybagging]

Heh just ordinary white foam, available at any hardware.....tadaaaaaaaaa

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Not too bad for a GUY that likes to wear make-up!!

[HalloweenRick]

Fantastic Job!! But now I'm really confused....Just which one is BodyBagging and which one is PaleRider?

[Fangs]

Bags, you and Rider should really consider making props for those who don't want to try and do it themselves. :D What you 2 made is just ..... AWESOME! I'm still speechless! :> LOL and inspired! ;)

[Bodybagging]

[Dr Morbius]

Kickass. Just KICKASS! I...I'm dumbfounded. Speechless even.

[CerysCrow]

This is fantastic! I love it.

[Ms. Wicked]

Very cool Rob.

It really is hard to believe it's foam.

[Bodybagging]

With Foam, All Things Are Possible !!!!!!!

[Haunted Bayou]

Dang, those look real.

[scareme]

That looks fantastic. I'm with Icky, I couldn't figure the how to out til you posted additional pictures. Do you have a theme haunt, or how do you plan to use it. I see a civil war theme with the spirts of the dead walking among a battle scene.

[Bodybagging]

Actually Scareme, we are producing a Private party with a theme of pirates, civil war cannons were different in many aspects, Im sure Palerider could elaborate more on that subject, we fashioned these after a ships cannon.
for the party we will be creating the tailend and side of a Pirate ship, as close to scale as possible. this lucky host will be having the best of the best when we break out the Illusions for his party!

[DeadSpider]

Nice foam work.

[Bodybagging]

OK heres the photoshoot, with the Cannon completed with its endcaps and cannon straps, Once again glad everyone enjoyed the PROP, and hope you all LOVE the presentation.
