Good fences make good neighbors... Of course, so does a sign saying "This house is protected by Smith & Wesson 3 days a week... you guess which days"
I forget whose site I stole the fence design off of, but it was somewhere off of Mark Butler's MonsterList. The skull finials are from Toyguy , except of course my little EasterEgg that only 2 people noticed in person. Speaking of Toyguy, the fenceposts were originally supposed to be "Fenceposts of Pain", modeled off of Toyguy's Pillars of Pain, but I ran out of time. The skull tops for the Fenceposts are 2 Bucky skulls with the mandibles removed. The light is a simple pinchlight with a red bulb. Conveniently enough, the hole at the base of the skulls works great with a pinchlight. Of course, this being my first graveyard, I just made enough fence to get bye... Well, ok, I went overboard here too. 7 or 8 8' fence sections. What I learned: Do NOT try and assemble the fence before painting. You have no idea how hard it is to get the paint sprayed on in all directions. I spent weeks touching up the fence, because every time I thought I had it all painted, I'd turn it another angle, and see that I had almost totally missed that section. The last 2 sections I built (having grossly misestimated the size of my yard), I painted the bars first, then the crosspieces, then assembled them. I had a few scrapes to touch up from the bars going in the holes, but that touch up was much easier to handle. |
