I wanted to do a ghostly/graveyard scene this year so here a few shots of my progress.

Started out with some easier ones







Captain Spaulding stone in progress.



The wood burning tool eats away at the foam pretty quick so I lost a lot of detail in his face but it still looks pretty good



This is the ghost we made this year too, we have a couple of other ghosts from lastyear that we will add to the surroundings and move the boat when it comes time.


More pictures to come

Love your tombstones! I need to make some more myself, I keep seeing all kinds of cool ideas!

Looks great. I don't have much experience with tombstone making, but maybe a dremel could solve the losing detail problem.

Love those tombstones! They are so cool. Love the ghost. The picture of it in the boat makes the ghost look like the mast so theoretically it's a ghost ship

[SuperSonic]

Everything is just superb! I love the first tombstone the most. Looks like Predator with a vengeance. Cool progress shots. Can't wait to see the final product.

Wow! looks great.

I think people have used a dremel on their tombstones to get the sharp edges with lettering stencils. Some other users have done some amazing stuff.MooBoo tombstones and CorpseBride tombstones

There are more if you search around.

Anyway, keep us updated on the progress.

These look great, I really love the ghost!

I really like the Captain Spalding, it turned out real nice. Cant wait to get my stuff set up this year as well.

[purple1worm]

They all look great!
I never thought to use a wood burner. I painted most of the lettering on mine.

AMAZING! In love with the Captain Spaulding stone!

[zombombie]

Love those gravestones! The Captain Spaulding one especially!

Thanks everyone, unfortunately I must go home for the weekend to get my feed of Turkey on for Thanksgiving so all of my projects are on hold

Thanks for the advice! I definitely like the edges the burner makes on the lettering but for the faces I will most definitely try out my Dremel.

Who knew all of these tools I have been accumulating over the past couple of years could be put to such good use

[Zombie Pumpkins!]

I envy all these tombstones, I really must make my own someday. I like seeing pumpkin patterns used on these. They work well, as if etched into the stone.

[CorpseBride]

Those tombstones are awesome!! Really really well done. The first one is my fave. I am inspired!

[SCAREcrow]

I'm back home after a great thanksgiving with my family, and had to get another stone done.

I used my dremmel on this one and it turned out fantastic!! I couldn't be happier, Thanks for the suggestion mesmark!
