Thread: Trash Can Trauma

Tweet

This another revision of an old prop.

The Trash Can Trauma was my first pneumatic prop and it’s undergone several revisions.

The problem is, the character inside never seemed right.

For 2012, the TCT character is aiming for a slimy, gross, zombie-in-a-bucket look.

The pneumatic components are essentially unchanged, the character is a WIP.

This is a paper mache base, with model magic used for details (hands & head)

I like that a lot! Good scare factor. I so need to make a TCT for my haunt. Do you have a vid of it in action?

I have a video if the 2010 model. The movement should be the same. I didn't like that it looked too much like a rubber mask.

When the character is finished I'll update the video.

Looks terrific!

Looks fantastic! Amazing detail. I'm always so impressed by members who can build/sculpt faces, definitely not my strong suit.

I was going to post a video of the revised TCT in action, but my small air compressor (for indoor testing) was giving me some problems.

Here's a couple of new photo's with more 'slime' added. Trying to go for toxic look, not sure if i'm there yet.

thats awsome. i love it. how much for you to build me one?? lol

How much do you have ?

Seriously though, one of these days I'll have to sell some stuff to keep space available for the new builds each year. Right now though, each prop has an emotional attachement to it, so it's hard to part with.

I've updated the video, with the new character inside (indoor air compressor working again)

I've used a picoboo controller to program a sequence.

Also trying to use a youtube channel I've setup. I hope this embeds.
