indeva,
I really like how yours came out. I am also interested in making one this year, but from the looks of it, they all look too big, do you have any other pictures of the inside of yours?

I'll throw my hat in the ring on the stalkarounds. Here is one that I made a couple
of years ago that has a $4 camera swivel mount and a two-bar attachment for the head.
I have both turning and nodding action. The linkages aren't hard , it's just finding the right
length for the right range of movement.

It's roughly 8-feet tall









and a video to show the movement:


for more looks at the build got to this link: crawfordforester/Stalkaround - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

any questions just PM or emial me. happy to help.

Indeva's looks to be quite a bit more ruggedly built. That's a bruiser! How heavy?

Here's a smaller stalkaround you might like.* This is the second one I did, a little different from the others. Head is controlled by one of your hands.* Stands a little over 6' tall, not 7-8' like the others:Here's a video from the haunt:

i think i'm going to go with this. my brother bought this last year for the price of 94 dollars... he didn't use it so i asked him if i could use it for my stalk0around and he gave it to me!!

here is a picture... i'm going to go to halloween havoc here in owensboro and get some big hands to match it..
