Love all three but especially the 1st one.

Thanks! Me too its my favorite of the three.

You did some major scoring last night tho! Still can't believe how weel you did on your first sale. Three donuts, and Mhz (which that top one of mine is too) and another 2 great Trippies.

You got a sweet haul as well!

Thanks Mike, Delilah and Peace :oops:

You would be surprised at how cheap you can make stuff when you get creative...and work every weekend for months on end :blink:
The fence - pvc and plastic finals.
Tombstones - pink insulation foam sheets and Dry-lock paint with washes of black, brown and white paint over it.
Skeletons bought on the cheap and finished with Mini-wax gel stain to give them an antique feel.
Jail cell - pvc and pink foam.

Kudos to you for the know-how! :D You should give classes ;)

Have you ever experienced a glass tip before?

If not then my friend you are in for a HUGE surprise. After getting my first Trippy I haven't even used another type of tip since.

As for displaying them, ehh I dunno how to go about that. I'm sure these guys with their amazing collections could help ya out better :p :laugh:

I used to faux finish for a living and my man can build any things so we make a great team.

There is actually a great YouTube video on making the tombstones HERE. Terra does a terrific job and has a bunch of how-to videos.

Hollie that is sooo cool the suff you did. It was just you and your hubby doing it all yourselves??

Thanks Cyclin. Yeah, its just the two of us doing it all. The worst part is it takes about 3 days to get the front yard set up but we can't leave it out at night (joys of living in LA) and have to haul it all in each night. That nearly killed me this year. We ended up hiring a friend to be night security as we could barely stand up we were so tired.

This year, we have already made a bunch of new animatronics for the front year and the mister announced that as the Pirates are as good as they are ever going to get, he doesn't want to do it again!!!! So this year, the atrium will be a zombie invasion.

Y'all are invited for the big night :D

I purchased my 1st trippy off classie from fudgie. Ssooooo. Smooth. I bought from another vendor but doesn't have the same feel. I don't know if it's psychological or what but doesn't feel as nice. So now I need an adapter or figur something out for the penny. Lol.

Got a reo coming and a DID coming. On the wait list for zattypro. Then I need to wait for the new design of the vv reo grand or score a sweet vv woodvil and that's it. Sigh. I WAS saving money not analoging. Lol. Course this is more fun!

Well Hi there Sgt. How's you day so far? I'm just being lazy til I have to head in to work.

Bummer on the work... well maybe not, just good to have a job. The day is blah, like the weather. Heading to a movie tonight Savages or Ted, but may re-think that and go to the Irish Pub.:)

thanks Cyclin, I've snagged a trippy before.:)
I apologize if that sounded condescending then :oops: Still, glad I could ease your Trippy skunkin' :D

:laugh: Nice! Ya the feel is totally different from other tips I've tried. I'm not just a Trippy fanboy either, I have stainless steel tips, rubber tips, acrylic tips, and have tried another glass tip (do not own it nor did I buy it) but no matter what the Trippys have always felt/tasted best for me. Just my :2c:

If you do the math you probably are still saving money, we smoked a ton of analogs so even if I break even vaping is also my hobby, and its worth it. I always say "just one more mod".. Its not MY fault they keep coming out with new, awesome mods!

Ive tried to go through them, pear them down to one per mod, sell off the rest. But then I buy more...
It's hard to get rid of any of them. I am gonna go through all of mine tonight and try to put some up in the classies. But every time I try to I always fall back in love with each of 'em...
