Attached are two videos of Eyegore that I will use for my mad lab scene.

Very impressive! Wish I could make props like that!

Thank you Mr. Nightmare

Nice construction and movement. Is that one of those super servos from servocity, or did you design that one yourself?

They look awesome!

Hook Thank you, the base rotate/pan, nod, or as they like to say tilt, and I added a tube servo gear box on top of the tilt platform sideways to give it that third axis. To answer your question they are from servo city. I did not do such a great job on the armature but it works so I just stayed with it. I could have used a Jason hockey mask as my armature then dremel it to allow for the jaw and eye kit. I had to rig the eye kit to work by cutting in half adding a half an inch with JB Weld between the cut to widen the eyes to fit squarely in eye sockets. I wanted more movement in the jaw area but I get a lot of flex with the flimsy servo horn mounted on the jaw. Kind of hard to push the mask chin down to create the mouth movement. I think visually for now I can pull it off and then modify it after Halloween.

Thank you Crazy Xmas
