Title: Halloween Castle 2009
Post by: Tiermann on October 28, 2009, 19:41:06: Hi all, I am going to post this here even thought there isn't a specific story to it. It's quite a few pictures of my Halloween Castle display.

That's all for this year I think. Getting decent shots with not enough light takes some effort and I will be gone for the weekend.
Have a Happy Halloween everyone

Post by: Tiermann on October 29, 2009, 22:42:05: Thanks for the nice comments everyone.
Gepetto - that darn tool rack (originally a rifle rack), the tools kept falling off when I tried to place it. I ended up using the white tacky stuff to hold them on. For the dinosaur skull I ended up hot gluing it to the wall, the tacky stuff wasn't strong enough to hold the weight.
The Bride of Frankenstein is a custom I did a few years ago. The hair is steel wool with a painted stripe. The bandaged arms are done with the paper tape from my first aid cabinet, and my wonderful mom sewed the cloth for me.

Post by: Tiermann on August 25, 2010, 20:27:40: bumping this up after some interest was expressed in the recent Ghost Story thread
My 2010 castle will be far more interesting structurally, I have a 4 by 4 foot area to work in this year instead of the shelf. I've used every steck castle wall connector I have at this point and am shopping for more to finish up.

He said he had more available space -> isn't bigger always better *grin*

(I know it isn't, but sometimes...it just is)
Title: Re: Halloween Castle 2009
Post by: Tiermann on August 27, 2010, 13:28:24: Well the space has allowed me to incorporate the Baron's Battle Tower base in a display finally.
I've just won some more steck in an eBay auction so hopefully I am set for this construction. I'm already thinking about how I will build my Santa Castle in November...
