Thread: skull greeter prop ?

Tweet

hey everyone,

im making a skull greeter prop with a bucky skull and a pvc mannequin.. i wanted to have th head rotate not all the way around but 90 degress to the left and 90 degress ti the right.
i will corpse the skull and hands and but led eyes in the skull with platic eyes over it..

i get the basic understanding but wanted to know if anyone has done a similar prop design to make this prop and what motor they used!

pictures and videos would help also links to other threads possibly...

Thanks,
Chris

Here's a link that I've used on a couple of props - http://halloweenpropmaster.com/u-built_it.htm
I've adapted it a bit by compressing it together as much as possible to make it smaller.

Sure, that motor should work fine.
The reindeer motors are just a bit easier since they are already wired and have an extra plug from the lights that can be used to connect to the second motor.

i saw that part yes.. that is a big structure for a prop i want to start the prop off like that but with 1 '' pvc and i need to find a place where pvc arms can come out is that what you did?

Yes, I just put in a cross fitting instead of the T at the shoulders allowing me to attach the arms.

gotcha okay great im going to go with that tutorial!
Do you have pics or videos of your prop?
what did you use it for?

I used one for a pirate greeter and am in the process of converting another one to a witch. I'll post some pictures of the witch as soon as I'm done.
