Endoskeleton Pumpkin Carving Template

[tom]

Thanks for the template here's mine, to support your army. Just finished.
Suprisingly it only took 1 hour to carve- I thought it was going to be much more.

Its certainly looking great Tom!

And nice to know it only took 1 hour to carve

Thanks!
I forgot to mention the cuting of the template takes an another hour. ;D
And it's a relatively small pumpkin so I suggest to everyone to get a big one cause it gets really tough at the small parts.

Great job! I hope we get more photos of more that have been made!

Yeah, I ended up clocking in around the same time per endo-pumpkin also tom First one I got delayed a bit by the plumber showing up to fix something on the kitchen faucet. and the second one went faster, but did some extra work on it.

Just bear with me a bit longer to get mine posted. Mine are done with the white pumpkins (I did one for my grandmother also), the pictures are taken, 35mm film style. So I need take the film to get it processed tomorrow. I think they turned out alright. By the time I got to the second one mostly carved, my hands and neck were getting sore. Then once the kids stopped coming, I ate supper and dozed off in the chair watching tv til now.

I think even with a bigger pumpkin, your still limited to a sheeet of 8.5 x11 paper, unless you've got a larger format printer. I did figure out how to get the face template a bit larger to fit the paper, but alas, my white pumpkins were also on the medium-small side.

I did manage to make a few alterations as I planned, not sure how well they ended up, as I only did it on my own pumpkin, which was done last.

I'll have the pics up either tomorrow afternoon (CST) or sometime in the evening.

Hey, it looks great!
I see you made 4 on one pumpkin, nice work! ;D
That means it took more than 4 hours!? You must have a lot of patience!
Meanwhile I was looking for alternative uses after Halloween.
Not much of a success, but I found two.

At a theme party it can be used as the Headless Horseman


Freaky ambiance light, presumably the next generation of lava lamps, for little kids' room

Who wouldn't want to sleep under the protection of a terminator?!

Nope, 2 seperate pumpkins = 2 Endo carvings ...

I tried making some pattern on the side of the 2nd endo-pumpkin. Since I was tired out already, it didn't fare as well as I had thought. I suppose I can upload those pics.

Those are pretty alternatives for that pumpkin of yours

I especially like the projection light onto the wall picture. Thats freaky kewl

Nice job, terrasj! Very cool!

[allergygal]

So cool, you guys!

Tom - I think mine took about an hour and a half to carve. Not too long compared to previous year templates I've used.

terrasj - I really love how it looked on the white pumpkin.
