Some progress finally..

With my work schedule sapping all my free time, I'm just now getting some time to work on some things.  First, interesting factoid -- Did you know mice like eating paper mache heads?  I know this because Walter and Henry (the Zombies) got their heads eaten in the off-season.  So I set out to make some new heads.  I found some black fake pumpkins that fit the bill nicely, they are foam/plastic so there shouldn't be any issues with rodents.  I also took some of the ping-pong eyes I made last year to make these guys look a bit creepier.

2009 Setup Day 1

Worked on some zombies today.  I'm trying some latex gloves filled with wire and Great Stuff for the hands, seems to be working pretty good so far.  I also paper-mached some heads and filled them with newspaper and Great Stuff.  They were also wired with some green leds for eyes, you know, for that extra somethin' somethin'.  Setup the tombstones and fence with a couple of spotlights.  I've got a lot of painting and setup to do tomorrow!
