Here you go Patrice, I got this hot knife from Amazon as well as the 4 pack of pumpkin lights. Here is the youtube video that got me interested in making some pumpkins. I bought a hot knife like he used with the temp control and it broke when it got hot. The knife holder wasn't very good and broke when it got hot and softened the metal.

I am having trouble posting the youtube video. I will do another post with it.

Patrice, I think the dry brushed burnt umber matte craft paint in the low spots and some random shading looks better than the reddish paint the guy in the video did with an airbrush. Looks softer and more realistic.
