Official Halloween Pumpkin Thread!

I tried my hand at some more advanced pumpkin carving this year. It wasn't too hard, a carving kit, some stencils and a dremel tool seemed to work ok. Here they are:

My first effort, I did this one about 2 days ago...it's starting to dry out a little. For my 3 year old daughter.



Attempt #2, personally I think this one came out the best. For my 5 year old boy.



And today's effort. This one was much more complicated. I would say it is for my 1 year old daughter, but I'm not sure she's a fan. This one I just wanted to try.



Ok, let's see those pumpkins!

Wow, the spiderweb one is pretty impressive. Did you cut all that out or is it shaded?

Its all cut out. That pumpkin took me about 4 and a half hours to carve. I have not gone too crazy since.

Netspeed, Your pumpkin is pretty awesome too. That must have taken you some time to do that.

Only Porsche guys could turn pumpkin carving into a contest for technical supremacy

Here's one I did a couple of years ago, aided by a template and some wine:




These are the four my Daughter and I did last night, without templates or wine:




So, what's the lesson learned?
