[Jim]

Uh... I was thinking more along the lines of Pokemon or Yugioh lol.

Maybe for "regular" kids, but mine are mensa candidates! LMFAO!

 

[mr.fish]

I can't wait. You guys are going to love mine. I can only say it was hand drawn and sketched over for 3 hours last night. I have just a touch of artistic skill behind me. I just hope I don't freak out tommorrow night carving out the fine details.

The wifey is not a member of the site, but is begging me to submit a pic of hers. I hope thats ok if I submit both mine and hers.

 

[shizzy]

Here is my entry so far. One more coming I think. I think David's (Esquired's) Cinderella is simply fabulous! :wink:

[mr.fish]

I been waiting all day to get home and carve this, so here it is.

The wifes pumpkin

This whole creation came straight from the head. I was thinking of what it would look like to see a big catfish coming to swallow you up, and here it is.

"Face to face with a flathead catfish"

 

[Captain Ahab]

Damn Mike, damn, damn, damn you!

But yours - damn you!

I was gonna do a Blackie pumpkin, but I could not find any that small

 

[mr.fish]

nice looken Pumpkins, I thought the skills around a knife was used only for filleting fish and gutten deer, ( and sheep), outstanding gentlemen! James you and the youngens have your work cut out for you, Good Luck

 

[Jim]

Well, I didn't realize this was going to cause a major war in my house. 2 kids fighting and screaming and crying....Coupled with being over-tired, and fueld by Candy caused WW3 in my house. Well, to be pretty honest I was shocked at the outcome. I am not saying one is better than the other, but it is funny to see what they chose. I went down the list of pumpkins with both my kids and I said pick your favorite one. Every pumpkin they looked at they said I like this one.Next pumpkin...I like this one all the way to the end. I had to explain you can only pick one and that is when hell broke loose.

My son Chose Shizzys skull and My daughter chose Mr.Fish Cat. The tears went flying when I said we had to pick one. So me being the genius that I am asked my wife to choose between the two....She picked Esquired's Princess. #-o .

The Beauty of having your own Forum and Contest, Is that you can change the Rules anytime you want and no one can say anything. :wink:

So here we go

[shizzy]

That is sweet. Everyone did a great job. Thanks very much to Tinboats.net for the contest and Jim's family for judging, especially Jim's son, who has great taste and an eye for quality!




ps. Mr. Fish,

Your Flathead with T.B. logo is just sick! Nice work.

 

[Captain Ahab]

One hint for next year - you really want your carving to stand out - use a road flare or, in my case, expired boat emergency flares.

That thing was so damn bright and had loads of cool smoke pouring out!

Congrats to everyone

My choices woudl have been NicD and Mr. fish

But everyone did an equally great job.

Thanks to Jimmy T. for having the greatest web forum ever

 

[nicdicarlo]

Nice! Good work guys and Thanks a lot Jim. Mr. Fish's flattie was sweet. I also like Dave's road flare technique. Is that a fire hazard of any kind? ha. Awesome contest!
