Very nice work Clint!

Awesome pumpkins Paul and Clint  

everyones entries have been extremely well done  

it is going to be really hard to pick a winner  

Wow thats awesome Paul, what a great idea for a pumpkin

Edit: really crappy wi fi here on the island  didn't see the second page. Really nice stormie pumpkin Clint, great tig logo too.

Nice pumpkins guys, I must admit i have a soft spot for ewoks (don't tell AJ)!!

I made this one last night for the missus, she wanted a non-star wars one...

Thanks for everyone's kind words.  I kind of left it till the last minute.  I've just finished a stint of working 30 days straight, and last weekend was all about getting things around the house, yard and cars ready for winter.

Everyone else has such great entries, so I was a little bit panicky.  I didn't have a plan, so I found some last minute inspiration in one of my Canadian goodies. 

Some outstanding pumpkin carving guys, I must admit I have never done anything more than a standard pumpkin for the children, but inspired by this thread & one on SWF I decided I should have a bash as it looks like a lot of fun & was, be kind as its my first bash at anything more complicated.








Totally forgot to add the TIG bit to it so sorry but bit of an afterthought, but its there

Another excellent entry. 

Nice work Frank  

Very nice, Frank!!!!

And again, nicely done everyone!!!!!!!

I didn't get around to get another pumpkin but seeing these, I doubt it would have mattered!

very cool!

cheers!

Thanks guys, must say I had a lot of fun doing it, will be having another bash next year for sure, good luck everyone.

I couldn't find a new pumpkin, but I found this thing. Still no time to carve it up, but I had to do something with it while watching my NY Rangers game.......

So many fantastic pumpkins guys!  I just grabbed this pic of my pumpkin on the front step after it got a little rained on.  I forgot to add 'TIG', so I don't qualify for the contest, but I wanted to post it anyway.

Big joy to see all your pumpkin creations!

Have the judges finished steeling candy from their children after they go to bed, or are they still on a sugar high?

James, many thanks for organizing and hosting this pumpkin contest. You did a terrific job!

Damn those electrical storms!

Thanks to James for running the compo, and the Judges for picking me!  

Everyone who entered should be proud of themselves the competition was very stiff out there.

Lastly congratulations to my fellow winners Chris & Paul who can both be seen here at the awards ceremony....
