Thread: Talking Grim Reaper

I am finally working on a full sized prop. I used my new skull casting and put the Cowlacious audio driver and servo in. I will work on voice tracks 2marrow. I am just trying to get the basic body down. He stands 7 feet tall. I used half inch gas pipe for the frame. It was perfect. I just screwed him right into my floor, and it is very sturdy. You can't see his arms yet but they are there. I think I see some orbs at his feet. That's a good thing right?

That is so cool

Very cool, did you just drap the fabric?

Here is the break down. Sorry the picture is so small. I think that is as large as I can post it. Yes, the fabric is just draped on. I had a cloak from Halloween but it’s about two feet short. I had a lot of black fabric laying around.

cool, post some pics of the finished product in action!

Hardcore! Ever thought of using PVC pipe? Kewl though very cool!

I was going between PVC and wood. PVC would require a large foot print for a stable free standing body and wood, well, I don’t have the space to work with it. So I went to Home Depot and just walked around. The pipe seemed to fit the job. Plus, when I take it down (if I ever do) I just unscrew the arms and set in the corner of the basement. A mop and broom take up more space. Also, with the pipe, I could and did, just screw it into the floor. It is really sturdy. It was like $20 bucks or so. I am working on a video to post.

BAM! Finished! Here is the video.
