Thread: Anyone started on 2011 props yet?

Tweet

I have purchased all but the motor for a FCG and am starting the build for that this week. Just was wondering if I am the only one who's started on next years ideas yet?

You are not alone. New tombstones in the works, and a mini monster in the box for a friends office. And of course a huge wish list of projects

I am also created an FCG when I get some time. I am deciding on the motor though, not sure which one to get and which one is cost friendly.

Then I am working on a paper mache project right now and then Ill work on a tree monster probably.

I'm working on two right now. The first is a animatronic version of the hand coming out of the ground. I already have a static version, but I think movement will make it a better prop. The other is a Tim "the toolman" Taylor zombie. He is going to get electrocuted while plugging something in, He will glow and shake (hopefully).

Beacon... great idea on Tim the Toolman. Hope it works out. Need to have his hair sticking straight up

Started making more PWM circuits for my Blue/Black light spots

Well, I hope to get started...if that counts...on an animated full moon with Elliot and E.T. riding across it.

Already getting some odds and ends not finished for this year. 3 more human sections for my "gore corner" and some prelims on my Frankenstein creature in the chem bath approach.

About to start work on props for next year, getting all my stuff reorganized in the garage (my new prop-building home - again), pretty much done there....heading out to the steel warehouse this Saturday for a fresh load of square tubing, angle, and flatbar. Depending on how my supplier is doing on the first latex cast will determine if I start with a wall-animation or something that doesn't require casting. We'll just have to see how the timing goes... all props will be for sale to pro haunts locally in North Texas first, then if no takers (within 30 days or so) the sale will be opened up to others. I have worked with so many haunt owners in the area, would like to give them the first shot at these since the prices will be very reasonable.

Keep an eye on my Blog for progress updates...they should be starting up fairly soon.

all ready starting.Working on props working thru some ideas and buying items to use as props.
