    I've been wanting to do one the past couple of years and finally started on it yesterday. I have the shoulder frame put together but not yet glued. I still need to work on the head movement because it still looks up when I'm looking level. Overall I'm happy with the movement though. In the pictures I used a string to tie it around my waste which will be replaced with a belt. Next weekend I hope to start the shoulder/arms. Any advice/suggestions are welcome.





    And a short video of the head movement.

    that's a great idea to have head movement, it makes it more realistic, all the ones i've seen the head is stationary. what type of outfit will it have?

    It will probably be a grim reaper. Something simple, a black cloak with a skeleton head.

    Using a camera tripod mount is brilliant! I need to scope out some tag sales. Great job on that!

    It works out good too in that you can adjust the "neck" height so anybody can wear the same helmet no matter their height. I got the tripod used on Amazon for $12 shipped.

    Looking good!! I like the head movement. I've been wanting to make one of these since I first saw one. I've got my old backpack all ready to go - maybe next year. I'll be very interested in seeing how you progress.
