2010...another year, another pumpkin.

The original J O'Lantern was the only one made from a real pumpkin, and rotted before I had a chance to see it. This year, Mom redid the SSJ in foam, this time going for a bit more detail. It took seven hours of hot knife carving, including scraping the "wire wheels."

Presenting J O'Lantern 2010, "SSJ 3D."

It's a bit early, but Happy Halloween from the Summerses.

Last year's pumpkin moldered before I could get home to see it. This year, Mom decided to make one I could keep.

She bought a foam pumpkin, with an electric light source inside, and carved it using a "hot knife," all acquired at the local craft store. The knife has a handle like a soldering gun, with a tip that is an Xacto blade. It heats to 750 degrees F!

Car is a Derham Convertible Sedan, based on a photo from Jon Bill's book.

Watercolors.

Incidentally, she's an 810/812 person, but the SSJ is her favorite Duesenberg.

J O'Lantern was created by Chris Summers

As a young guy in this hobby, I'm blessed with very supportive parents.

This year I can't make it home from college for Halloween--my favorite holiday--so Mom decided to create something in my honor to keep her company while handing out candy.

In her words: "Took five hours, but I think Clark Gable would be proud."

Sorry for the large photos...smaller ones lacked the full effect.
