Thread: His name is Jerry Attric (Pneumatic Zombie)

Tweet

I thought I had already shared this here, but apparently not.

YouTube - Jerry Attric - Pneumatic Prop

(2) 2" cylinders, (2) 4-way valves, and a picoboo F105 controller.

great Idea and you have to love it when you just have to test something before its finished or perhaps the head falling off is part of the animation!

It wasn't planned but very funny. Actually I have a new head that I will be using on this prop, as I needed this one's light weight for my shiatsu powered zombie.

LOL that's cool! The movements are very realistic.

I can just hear him now ( GET OFF MY LAWN!!)

Awesome prop!!

of Scarefactory's version....I've been wanting to build one for some time now, just never got around to it...any pics on the mechanism you'd like to share?

Actually I based this off of Casa Fears Pneumatic Ground Breaker over on haunt forum. (Hope its ok to post links to other forums) and thought I could modify it to build as you mentioned the ScareFactory style prop. It wasn't until I completed my prop that I found out that CasaFear based his mechanism of the SF prop....lol.

It's a very simplistic design and didn't take much effort atleast not until CF shared his build. This was my first pneumatic prop other than a simple T-C-T that I built last year.

Casa Fear led a build of his zombie for us at the Rocky Mountain Haunters Annual Gathering. I need to throw some clothes and a mask on him to finish it up.

I had to smack myself on the forehead at the simplicity of Casa's design...it's so simple and extremely effective...I would have never guessed that's how he did it...nice work to both of you..

Did you use wood also?

Now I need to find a walker, cheap.

Yes I used 2x4's as well. This design didn't incorporate any angles on the cutting of the 2x's. Hinged at the wrist, elbow and shoulder, and it doesn't have any forward movement just basically up/down .

LOL!! That's a great idea...I hate when ToTs cut through the yard..set it up to trigger when someone steps on the grass.
