Point Pumpkins

^^^^That is the coolest thing I have ever seen on a plant! Good Job.

Cyberdman, that is insane. The Wicked Twister logo was crazy good. They were all very well done.

WOW! Fantastic job cyberman! You should have done it on one of those craft pumpkins, that way you wouldn't have had to throw away such a masterpiece.

Thanks for all the nice comments. Pumpkin carving is like my "thing" - if I have one at all. Many people can attest to that.

Actually I did carve that on a craft pumpkin, so it is forever etched in my yearly display.

I suppose it's kinda sad that I've been lurking at this site for years yet THIS is the thread that has prompted me to finally register and post. :D

Unfortunately it seems picoodle's image servers are down or something, so I can't see raptorTDC's pics at the moment.

In any case, I too carved a version of the Maverick logo this year:

Because the rope didn't look like rope in silhouette, I was going to eliminate it altogether until I got the idea to use a silhouette of the track instead. Luckily, the perfect photo to use as a model could be found in the Extra Point gallery of CP's website.

For the gory details, check my blog post about it.

cyberdman, I love the logo-o'-lantern! It just happens logos are one of my interests, and I briefly considered simply doing the MilF or CP logo instead of Maverick. I also thought about a tombstone-shaped "RIP Geauga Lake"-o'-lantern. ;)

I have to give you guys a ton of credit. I can tell you I am not that artistically talent with pumpkins. I have a pumpkin sitting on my porch and would love to have the time and talent to make it a CP one!

Great work! :)

Thanks RaptorQueen!

That is a really neat rendition Birdman. Great job.
