You have probably answered this already but I could not find it. It appears that you are not using a Bucky Skull, what are you using and where are they available?
Thanks

Is a standard 4th quality bucky skull to heavy to use for these?? I just picked up a few in hopes to get started on them !

not if you use some beefy servos... but with this design with the Hitec 425BB or the DS821's (what I use)... unless you have a system to counteract the weight such as springs or elastic tension... the servos will not be powerful enough. Look for some high torque metal gear ones on ebay... but dont be surprised to pay in excess of 30+ for each of the head movement servos (you can get away with a normal one for jaw movement).

Only problem with lindberg skulls is that they are a bit smaller than the buckys so they dont quite match the scale of the skellies.

Hi Haunters:
I have been following this 3 axis forum for a couple of month's and have started building Bobs quartet and thought these sources might help anyone else building this phenomenal machine.
So anyone looking for the Lindberg pirate skull P/N 71302 at 15.99 and low shipping try : Burbank's House of Hobbies
I just bought 4 and received them in a couple of days. Fast

Enco: use enco.com can supply all the rod ends screws /plus. good source. and pricing.

Karlov,

Thanks for the info, these guys arrrre abt $4 less than most of the eBay sellers and the shipping beats all of them by $5.. I just ordered four myself from Burbank's! I'll prob order four more next month..

CaptnJack I have seen the Linberg skulls at the Hobby Bench here in Phoenix. I know they have them at the 19th ave store and should have they at the Paradise Valley store.
give them a call

Hi Caption Jack
Glad this helps. As I have started to build Halloween Bobs quartet I see the need to watch costs.
For my female I am hopping to have her arm lift and wile her arm is raised she will turn her body.
I found small windshield wiper motors !2.00 but I want them to act like regular servos.
I just found a supper small controller for 50.00 its a Pololu SMC03A that will use any DC brushed motor and have it function like a R/C servo.
Although this mod to Bobs unit will be last on my construction plans
ENCO for the rod ends 4.?? boxes of screws 5.00 for 100 PCs. Worth a look If you haven't yet.
I would like to add :that Its great to see so many friendly and generous sols on this form.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN...........................just practicing
PS :no, no web sight
