I’m Back! On to Movie Reviews…
Well I’m back now. Pumpkin carving pretty much takes up my life for a while - moreso this year as a local paper did a spread on my carvings. I ended up spending 9 hours sculpting the Death Star on a 120 pound pumpkin and another 11 1/2 hours creating a detailed, full scale dragon. In any event, although totally exhausted, I had a fun time with this. Check out my carvings if interested. Now, back to cool discussions and movie reviews!

Thats a nice looking pumpkin! Though for some reason it doesn’t really remind me of the deathstar. Maybe it’s because I was never in Star Wars.

Hi End of Eternity, it looks more like the some of the models than the one in the movie, which doesn”t really give as much variation as this. Had I just done everything in grids, it would look fairly boring. Here’s an example of one of the many models:

Great job, welcome back!

Thanks guys. BTW, I had one of those green lasers for star gazing that I used to stick in the back and shoot through the hole. It was cool - you could see the laser and everything!
