Thread: Update: reindeer motor rat tug of war

Tweet

So I threw this together tonight. It is a rough draft so to speak. I just wanted to see if the motor was strong enough to move the unit. I will change the arms to aluminum and mount the motor, and paint everything flat black. It moves kinda slow but there isn't much I can do about it. I will have the hand attached directly to the rat's mouths to look like they are pulling it back and forth. With a strobe near by and a pile of other body parts I think it might look pretty good for something very simple. Please give me any opinion you might have.

I think it looks great! I haven't seen an animated prop like that before (except the store bought kind).
In the dark with a strobe it should look very realistic!

I agree with Dave. That is going to look great!

Very cool. I've been waiting to see which idea you went with and how it would look. I'm impressed (grossed out, but impressed).
