Now that I’m sure it’s been received, I can post a little about what I did for the Secret Pumpkin exchange this year.
My Pumpkinee was Scott from Black Ops. He does a home haunt up in the Great White North (for those in Europe, I mean Canada, not, say, Greenland). Plan A was an enormous foam prop, of course, because my first thoughts always go to foam. But I still can’t find my preferred medium locally, and shipping something that was gonna be four feet tall or so would be, er, prohibitive. Instead, I decided to do my first-ever electronics project. I’d had this tutorial by Stiltbeast on my to-do list for a while.
If there’s one thing a haunt always needs, it’s lights. These little spotlights looked like just the thing.
All the local garden stakes were solid plastic, so I went for PVC instead, which was even cheaper and allowed me to stuff some extras in the kit. I put together a kit with 15 spotlights and everything to wire them up. Sent it all off and realized I didn’t take a pic. Luckily, Scott took a nice unboxing photo:
So yeah, now I can do electronics. A little.
