Thread: Ideas of what I can use these for?

Tweet

Hey everyone....I need some of your creative ideas for what to do with these things.

I have access to MANY hard plastic tubes from work. They are all about 4" in diameter, and 3 lengths. 22" 26" and 42" Long.

They are not as thick walled as PVC pipe, but are very sturdy hard plastic.

I've tried to come up with ideas of what to use them for, but my imagination isn't working properly due to a bunch of other stuff going on right now.

I will try to get pics of a couple of them tomorrow if that helps anyone.....but throw me your ideas if you can.

Thanks in advance.

Josh

Would make great colomns for the front of a crypt.

Shotgun prop?

legs and armature for a Jack Skellington

Fence posts/columns (especially painted with a purple/black candy cane stripe)

Build a cage for a monster (person in a mask or a motion activated prop)

Spider legs for a GIANT spider

I like the candy column idea

Some lab equipment that you could run chasing rope lights coiled inside of to make the lab prop "operational" when the lights are on.

A pathway in a device that bugs could "travel" through in a lab experiment. Have you seen Vincent Price in the Dr. Phibes movie? Do you remember some of the ways he got all kinds of plagues to his victims? In particular I remember chlorophyl being drizzled onto a drugged and sleeping victim followed by locusts crawling down the tubes to their food source.

Could be a pathway for mice to crawl through as well.

Maybe a fog tube?

Forgot to mention the water faucet illusion. Here's a thread I started a few months ago after purchasing a bucket faucet fountain: Faucet and Bucket Illusion Fountain

How about a haunted pipe organ. The tubes can be painted with a metallic spray paint, and a fog machine hooked up to them for random bursts.

We have something like that that we glued to the top of a barrell and different angles... filled the ends with spray foam and then stuck a piece of rope into the foam... painted and painted the barrell to say TNT... this is in our flourescent clown room. They look awesome as over sized sticks of dynamite!
