Talking Giant Flying Crank Spider (video)

Hey All,
I've been wanting to build this prop forever. I got the plans online here
The plan is very similar to a flying crank ghost only with a few extra lines to run.



The motor is a wiper from Monster Guts, the legs are made from hanger wire and masking tape dipped in latex paint. The head was carved from foam and the body is a 55cm exercise ball covered in fabric (epoxy didn't stick). I hooked up some leds for eyes and set him up on a motion sensor. The movement is pretty realistic and he'll make a fine addition to my haunt.

See the video of him in action

here are some day time shots




Let me know what you think.

That looks great I especially like the way the strobe highlights the body pattern and the LEDs look very good in her
