Jeep Pumpkins

[XJawgi]

Every year my work holds a pumpkin carving contest. So I thought I would share my pumpkins from the past 3 years. 2006 & 2007 I won it, and 08 I got scammed by someone who used a store bought stencil.

2008 Pumpkin

This second photo is not a photoshop - the photographer had the shutter open long enough to put all kinds of stuff in the picture

Here is a crappy pic of the one i did this year. I'm hoping to get a better picture today during the contest.

Happy Jeep'o'ween

Damn, you have some talent.

I've got about enough patience to stand in line and buy the pumpkin-- then I'm done. My better half, however, enjoys chopping 'em up.

Wow that first one is super nice! My hand writing in general sucks. So when it comes to letters, they generally look like a 3rd grader wrote them and I cut them out.

 

[CherBear]

Down to the tread pattern and everything??! WOW

 

[Shorty]

Thanx (form her, obviously)--yeah, she's got the time/patience to do it right (stay at home mom)

P.S. she's a "Clevelander" by birth as well!

she's anal about her pumpkins around this time of year
I only wish I had some of her better attempts to show off.

Haha well shes a smart gal for leaving : )

What does she use to cut the pumpkins? I use one of those model razor blades, but her cuts are pretty much perfect.

 

[Shorty]

some kind of cross between a soldering iron and an x-acto knife combination. It heats the blade and reduces the amount of "sawing" needed. I would find a link, but since I don't have any better description, I'll let you search instead of me (there's that short attention-span thing again)

 

[XJawgi]

Wow I never would have thought of something like that. Watch out Jeep 'O' Ween 2010

 

[XJawgi]

Found it, and its cheap!

[Shorty]

yeah-- her first one was that same one. Did I mention that if you steal it from the Mrs and try to use it as a soldering iron, you'll end up buying her a new (read: more expensive) one for penance?

You'd probably just paint the pumpkin OD Green and put some crap on top of it.

:gee:

 

[kastein]

wow, that is a really detailed one Shorty...

... looks like the front is a GM 10 bolt with 8.5" gears?
