I made a monster mud Grim Reaper, I call him Grim! He is 7'7" tall from hood to base! He has a tombstone and skull candle! The fake candles are PVC and hot glue, the tombstones are foam sheets 2"x4'x8' but cut down and shaved a lot, the skulls and spiders I bought at the dollar store. The scythe is a lot taller, havnt measured yet and it PVC and Masonite for the blade spray painted sliver! Hope ya like.

Oh ya, monster mud is drywall joint compound mixed with paint to make a sloppy mess that you coat fabric with and drape over a PVC structure with chicken wire as the body, then it dries and looks like a statue!

The cardboard boat is made from 3 4'x8' cardboard sheets, the theme was BatBoat! I was Batman and my friend was Cat Woman, we got fourth! Woohoo! Hope you enjoy! :)

Well crap, the pics didn't load, here is the boat

And the tombstone up close, it wasn't finished at the time of the pic, I covered up the white so it is flush and cool lookin

Aaaand the skull candle, the pic gets all smoothed out but it's about 9" tall

Whoa, quad post! Next time please just edit your first post :)

The batboat was ok, better than I could've built by far. I love the grim reaper though. You did a great job crafting it and forming it into the shape it's in, as well as making it appear almost lifelike! You've got some real talent there :)
