Thread: 1031 props 2010 haunt pictures.

Tweet

I have been so busy that I never got a chance to post my 2010 pictures but I did manage to update my website and you can check out some of my props from 2010. I added more corpses skeletons to my haunts and you can also see some pics of my tombstones at night. I hope to add more pics in the very near future to here but it takes forever to load. Also check me out on Facebook at 1031 props as it's easier for me to upload all of my pictures on there then anywhere else.

Here's the link to my website

Awesome work Nick! I must say, you make some of the better tombstones I've seen

Sweet work but I really dig your website.

Thanks to both of you for the kind words. Do either of you have any clue as to why it takes so long to upload pics on here? I hate directing people away from Halloween forum but it takes forever to upload any of my pictures on here.

There is a picture size limit of 600 x 600 on the forum. If you try to load larger pictures to an album, it has to down size them and takes quite a while I've found when uploading. I've found that if I resize my pictures to 640x480 before trying to upload them, they upload very quickly.

Wow is right about your tombstones...they look fantastic! The corpses are super well done too.

Quick question. I'm thinking of doing a demon dog and I remember the awesome resident evil dog you did. The taxidermy form you used, is it made of a lightweight foam? From VanDykes? I need mine to be lightweight to sit on a horizontal mover pneumatic. Thanks

Thats right i forgot all about the size! Thanks Mike!

Terra,

I did use VanDykes taxidermy dog for mine. They can seem a little overwhelming to anyone who has never used them so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. VanDykes is one of the more expensive taxidermy suppliers but i am a firm believer in quality not quantity. So they are worth the extra cash. Mainly because VanDyke forms have thick gauge wire frames within the foam to keep it sturdy. Others only have them in the legs and if you're not gentle the legs will crack right off and then you are SOL.

Do you mind me asking what you're going to make?

Thanks! So, would you call the form with the wires in it lightweight? Also, it's foam, right, so I can carve into it?

I'm going to make demon dogs (if I have time) for the cemetery. For the pneumatic mover, it will be a demon dog/dinosaur. So, I was thinking of using the foam and really tweaking it or get a triceratops form like this one: http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/330915-P7C909.aspx

This is what I'm after:








Here's what I'm thinking for the Hell Dog. It'll be static in the graveyard:

was checking out that taxidermy site and ran across these babies... very nice!!

Wow, that would be real cool.

As for the forms themselves i would say that yes they are very lightweight. If you look in my profile you will see build pics of my dog and how it looks. It is entirely made of foam but it has a wire body structure. Now one thing to keep in mind is that i only worked with a Coyote form. Different animals may have different different stuctures and not all forms are made by VanDykes. Some are made through private manufacturers and are only sold through VanDykes. So the form i ordered may be different from the form you order. Depending on what Specie you choose to use. I went with coyote because its closest to a dog but a Wolf was my first pick. I chose to go with Coyote over wolf due to the price diffrence.
