Thread: first moving prop of the season finished

Tweet

well seeing that our first props we evver made were the tombstones hubby used one of them for his stone creeper prop. He had a few issues initially with trying to get a nice slow smooth movement and he's about happy with it now. it's a door window regulator out of a scrap car and is running off the 3.5 output from his ATX supply. Which was another idea he got off here lol.

Hubby is trying to get a small video clip uploaded once he works how to do it lol

He's not that happy with the hands but they will do for this year and u wont see them much in the dark ...I think it just adds a bit more to the stone. I am looking forward to setting out the cemetry with all the cobwebs and moss.Oh plus hubby wants to make a breathing grave now. I will have to keep him off here he's always in the shed lol

hopefully this works

That's great! At first I thought he should move up a little higher but then after a few seconds I realized it's creepier this way.

I do disagree about the smooth movement: sometimes rough, jerky motions look more realistic. This was mentioned on a recent prop build. Most members liked the un-smooth motion better.

thanks for the comments. hubby likes everything to run smooth lol. he's a fussy bugger. he may make another and compare the 2 actions and see what he likes back. all I know it's another job ticked off the list

I love it, Great job, this is going to be my next project!!!!!!

Looks great! Excellent job on that!

I think the hand look just fine! Great job!
