Thread: Rotating/Swaying Ground Breaker

Tweet

Using the similar mechanism as the creepy cathy prop, this ground breaker will rotate from the waist (in this case at ground level).

I may use a wiper motor this time to get higher rpm.

This is a couple of photos of the build so far (no movement yet)

This is again a paper mache head, with modelling clay and paint. I thought the hands turned out well.

very nice job! i like your prop style! you start with the simplist things like paper mache and make props that retails elswhere for hundreds of dollars!

Looking excellent so far, Dr. Grim!

Thanks for the comments.

I'll update when the prop is moving.

Please check out the video of the mechanics now in use

Too fast?

Oh no, not at all. Perfect speed imho. <3 him, he's awesome!

Looks fantastic and definitely not too fast. It has a great thrashing about look to it.

I don't think it's too fast either. Great movement! Very lifelike and I love the eyeballs.

Is that a shiatsu massager build? Looks great. Love the sculpt!!

It's a wiper motor. If you look at another prop I finished, the movement is identical. The only difference is the prop here (http://legacyofhorror.org/?page_id=1582) uses a vent motor.

The vent motor RPM is a bit slow for 'thrashing'
