Vulture Hill 2013

A young couple stopped by tonight and knocked on my door. They could not get over the yard display. I thanked them and they asked for advice on how to improve the their own display. Its hard to give advice on something I haven't seen, so I promised to stop by. It's nice to know that there are others who share in my passion.

 A night shot with my camera. Not as red as it looks...

 Hidden behind the skulls is a small speaker than screams when anyone steps on the mat.
 Skellie wasn't cleaning up his act, so.......made a bar of soap.

 "BoomTown"

Long day!
Placing skellie's and props. Some lighting done, but not all. Do not have a great camera so night shots are all flash.....

 He's a pickin' and a grinin'...

 Now THAT'S a bath bomb.....

Windy Today!
Got the roof on the saloon Thursday.
Did some re-paint and such. Not so much today.
Worked inside as the wind is making my allergies act up.
A better close up of the Balcony Bride.

Hard to see the face in the mirror, but it's there....

The "bathhouse" is semi-complete. Still needs it's sign and canvas roof.
The saloon  has a second story, but no roof.
Tomorrow is gonna be busy..

  A low and far away shot, but the Balcony Bride is at her mirror waiting for Mr Wrong....

Tombstones went in today. Of course, that took longer than expected as I had to touch-up or attach new supports. Added the gold nuggets to the minecart, but still waffling on placement.
