THE 4th ANNUAL TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
It's that time of year again and to celebrate TXI will be having another Star Wars pumpkin carving contest
Since pumpkins are not plentiful everywhere in the world, we will also accept entries made with 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
The Rules :
#1) Your "Pumpkin" must be Star Wars related and have at least a small "TXI" carved, painted or drawn on it somewhere. Please be sure that the "TXI" 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 (posted in this thread) will be accepted from today through the 31st of October. The Winners will be announced on November 3rd.
There will be a 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place Winner, those Winners will get THEIR PICK of the following Prizes in Order of Ranking:
Prize A: TBA
Prize B:

Prize C:

3 TXI team members will be judging the entries - and those that do the judging 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!

Yep, that really looks like the face of the figure, especially once it’s lit up.
I’m still thinking about what to do. It’s hard to think of something semi original lol there have been so many Star Wars pumpkin carvings.

Working on mine today. Make sure to take some good photos guys!
Re: THE 4th ANNUAL TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
I didn't get a chance to carve on the weekend.
So tonight, it's hack, hack & stab.
With any luck, I'll walk away with all my fingers.

Well done Chris. Nice thermal detonator.
I'm hoping to make Yoda's ears glow a bit more as well. I've already got a few ideas how to do it.

Nice efforts so far guys, keep them coming.
Had to join the fun, what else does an old guy do on a rainy Devil's Night!
Here is my attempt, for years it was all triangle eyes and noses and square teeth!

Damn! Excellent work! I'm stuck in the "triangle eyes" stage.
Re: THE 4th ANNUAL TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
Well done David.
Definitely beyond triangles and square teeth.

I'll give you pass, because you have a good excuse.
I hope to see you entered next year.
