Thread: My Caged Skeleton Prop...

Tweet

This is the second year I have had this guy, and he seems to work pretty well.

This is a video of his operation when I FIRST built him:



He runs Off a Simple Small bore/throw Cylinder setup Run through a Prop-1 (For a Random "Thrash" cycle) and is triggered by an FM Remote Control.

I have stepped away from using Pressure mats and IR sensors for triggers, since people tend to stand there and TRY to trigger them. With a hand held remote I can wait until they have given up then trigger it as they are walking away for added effect. =)

Here is a little more dressing up I did for this season. He still needs a little work, but he seems to do the job.

Pretty cool...He reminds me of a monkey I saw at the zoo doing the same thing!! hahaha..

Any build info./pics? I want to build one of these.

Great prop nfmmalice. The "timely" use of the remote control must keep the ToT's on their toes! I second billman's question...any build pics?

I'll try and throw something together.

It was built using those Cylinder/Wheel Setups that were on that Surplus Website a While Back. I ended up buying like 40 of them. Hehe.

Let me see if I can draft something up.

I use a remote control similar to this one:

Rolling Code UHF 2 Channel Remote Control DIY Kit K157 - eBay (item 150287254858 end time Nov-22-08 21:15:42 PST)

But the ones I found were single channel, and were only ~$16 each.

Wow, that is one of the creepiest "simple" props I've ever seen. It's just enough creepy to get inside your head and freak you out. My kinda build.
