| Hi Guys - Well its that time of year and its time for another pumpkin carving contest The Rules :
#1) Your Pumpkin (or melon) must be Star Wars related and have at least have a small "TIG" carved , painted or drawn on it somewhere . Please be sure that the "TIG" is visible in at least one of the photos that you post .
#2) Your entry can be carved , painted or decorated in whatever way you see fit . Be creative in whatever form you like - as long as it is a Pumpkin (or Melon) and its Star Wars related we don't care how you present it
#3) You may enter as many different Pumpkins/Melons as you like
#4) Entries will be accepted from today through the 31st of October .The winner will not be chosen until after the 31st so that everyone has plenty of time to participate if they want to I have been informed that Pumpkins are not plentiful everywhere in the world (Particularly in France ) . So , I have edited the rules to include watermelons , cantaloupes , honeydews or any other damn melon you can get your hands on . Now even those of you who live in Pumpkin deprived countries can participate I would also like to recommend "Funkins" (or any other brand of fake pumpkin) to those who enter . The fake foam pumpkins are easy to carve and will last you a lifetime . I like them because I can use them year after year and it helps make the effort that goes into carving a pumpkin more worthwhile There will be 3 categories this year again : 1) Traditional Carving 2) Sculpted Carving 3)Funniest Carving a prize will be awarded to the winner of each category TIG team members Marco (Dr Dengar) , AJ (Aussie James) and James (ourchickenshack) will be the doing the judging - so we will not be entering pumpkins in the contest All Right ... what are you waiting for ? Get your knives out and start sharpening , make your blueprints and get to work Pick your poison ...

| Awesome. I'm in again this year. Bring on the knives, spoons, power tools, and even those pretty pink little girl carving tool sets. |

| I hope to be carving up a pumpkin this weekend and give this a go this year. I'll be trying my hand at my own template and depending on how it goes might be a straight carve or carve/sculpt. Not sure how my template is gonna work and one mistake will dictate the direction! haha Good luck folks! cheers! |

| I have a favor to ask of anyone that has created their own design and transferred it to their pumpkins. I am working on one now and need advice to see if it will work as I think it will. I'm worried on structure and don't want to muck it up/ I don't want to spoil what I am working on (nothing fancy or elaborate) so if anyone can maybe help me and take a peek, can you drop me a PM? cheers and thanks in advance! |
