Thread: How Deep?

Tweet

As you may know already...I am building a coffin table to hold a Bucky. What I need to know is how deep is the prop? Meaning if I lay it down, how tall is it's highest point? I need to plan the sides. I have 6" stock but think it might not be tall enough for a full sized skeleton to lay in. I don't want to cut the back of the skull and rib cage down ether. Can someone take a tape measure to their bucky and see how tall it is laying down?

Thanks!

10" will just clear the ribcage. That is the deepest point. He's 60" long laying down flat footed!

So looks like my plan for a 6" deep pan will not work...hmm....maybe a little compression of the rib cage will be in order. I plan on creating a decayed look to him.

Thats some pretty serious compression for a Bucky!
