Working back to front, the Barghest is slowly taking shape.
Little bit of a wiring test, gotta make sure all that is working before I go making it hard to re-do.
Step one of the ribs complete.
Hoping to have him close enough to complete for a debut on Walpurgisnacht.
Started on a new Chimera.
But, the monstrous work has been putting together our massive tutorial on monster mud and creature design. I’m still putting pieces together, but “>have a look.
Slideshow includes the tea party and will update as we get more pictures uploaded.

Who really LOVES pumpkins in case you couldn’t tell.
Our witch’s hats all drying after the required black paint.

More thoughts on next year and cemeteries…
Local cemetery, obelisks to denote family plots…the more $, the more elaborate.
The ghost town idea…
