Thread: New project: coffin pop-up

Tweet

started earlier this year to get a few things done so im not rushing the last few weeks, still alot of work to do, but cylinder, solenoid and pico on the way thanks to Frightprops.

Very nice so far!

Looks great, can't wait to see it in action.

wow! that is amazing!

if you want to really go over the top add a arm movement. Could be done with a simple cable. That would totally seal the deal

Looks great so far, I agree with the arm movement, but will be great either way.

Looking good and yes make those arms move!

well the skelly in it now is just there till i get it finished, need to get a corpse in there.Can ya give me an idea how to get those arms moving with a cable would be much appreciated

Thanks

loving this!!!

quick/easy way to get the arms moving.

1. place an eyelette on the top of each shoulder.

2. attach 2 pieces of fishing line to coffin
3. pass through the eyelette and tie to the wrists of the skeleton. (one for each side)

while in the coffin, the fishing line will be loose (wrists at her side)
as the skeleton moves forward, the line will pull taunt, raising the hands towards her shoulder blades (bending at the elbow)

quick and easy!
