Airstream-o-Lantern!

i know i'm not the first to do this... and i'm sure i won't be the last! any one else got pics of theirs from this year? i meant to carve this guy at the Georgia rally a few weeks ago, but didn't seem to have the time!

can anyone guess what it is?

Cool

Props to you the day before my favorite holiday. Met my wife at a Halloween Store, and had our first date on Haloween!

TOO COOL!

Oooooh, oooooh, I want one too! And I could make a little pumpkin Airstream awning for it, and curtains, oh yes and lots of little pillows on a tiny pumpkin gaucho. . . .

Just curious, what tools did you use to produce this charming Airstream rendering? I love the Bargman running lights!

Acknowledging your problem is the first step. But it's no use, I think you've succumbed to the disease long ago. See How much of an adiction do we all have! for support, because there is no recovery.

extremely cool!

great detail, too.

check the "great pumpkin harvest moon youth rally" thread...There were a couple of 'stream-o-lanterns' made there, too. pretty sure there are pics.
