Pumped for Halloween



MaryEllen from the glowforge community made this smashing pumpkin wreath for Halloween. Different design processes fascinate me and I love seeing a sketch like that become a physical design. The wood is tinted using a prismacolor marker and the pumpkin itself is layered to give it a real sense of depth and roundness.

Put on a happy face and let's get jacked for Halloween my little punkins.

A lot of wargaming models are cut from 3mm mdf, the folks over at Laser Cut Card  have opted to use 1mm card instead. They say it gives them more options to make better details and it receives paint better, it's also lighter for shipping. The results certainly seem to agree that it's a workable material. My painting skills couldn't cope with making a finished item like this, they're pretty tearable.

Clearly, you'd be shattered after running a workshop for the whole day but they totally smashed it.
