Halloween Castle 2010
« on: October 28, 2010, 19:48:19 »
I've had this diorama built for over a month and only got to taking photos Monday. I've had to rush a bit since I am out of town Friday through Sunday. So my clever plans for a photo story went out the window. Instead I will post a long series of photos (62!) with captions relating to this year's Halloween Party at The Halloween Castle. It's basically a tour of the castle and it's inhabitants and guests. There will be a few new faces and some familiar ones as well. I will start out with the story-tour and finish with full shots of the diorama.

Our adventure begins with the arrival of a black coach (custom paint job I did this summer - the tack is all regular pieces  just the stagecoach was painted)

From atop a castle tower you can see the guests who are arriving - important guests indeed.

El Tigre announces the arriving guests
"His Grace Lupo Vlade Grand Duke of Playmovania with Duchess Borgiana and Fifi"



Borgiana takes her pet hyena Fifi with her everywhere. She can't leave a hyena alone. They pine. Guest Joke from Martin Milner

You can see a guest entering at the top of the stairs, his horse being led to the stables.



The autumn tree is a custom paint I did this year.

Behind the arriving guests you can see the lair of the Giant Land Crab Burt.

On the upper walkway the Green Man shares a brew with Executioner Larry. So nice to see Larry coming out of his shell, he tends to be shy.
