    Newest prop completed today. His name is Pneuman. He's a pneumatic jumping spider. He'll go next to the spider victim. Victim will say "thank goodness PEOPLE! please help me get out of here!" then the spider will jump at them =D

    so, here's pics. videos will come later.



    the rig


    pneuman and his rig


    his abdomen is just paper mache and a balloon


    his legs are copper tubing. the ends HAVE been dulled


    he has a glowing demeanor


    the markings look like a face from this angle =P


    all for now!

    the paint is this stuff...







    i get it at michael's for $0.98 i think per tube. get the same color but regular for base coating, then apply the glow color. it's a bit transparent so it takes about 3 coats to look somewhat solid and uniform without a solid base coat. or you could go the extra mile to be lazy like me and always do the 3 coats with no base. =P

    Very cool. My daughter likes the smiley face design on the spider's back. Very cute. Great work.

    Great work - very realistic...

    What are you using as a trigger?

    Do you have any video of Pneuman in action?

    Have you thought of adding a spitting effect?

    I like this prop! Judging by the linkage it will jump up AND out, right? Is the rig made of wood or metal? Paint job on the spider is excellent. Nice work, man.
