my digital cannon a75 powershot( junk) broke

I hope you are able to pick up the pieces and get this working. I would love to see it.

where the torso busts in half, have a bucket just under it, and in that is some material that looks like intentines half burried in fake blood. These are connected to air, so when the body gets ripped apart, the intestines 'fill up', and bubble out! Coordinate a scream with that, and when done, the air is let out, they go back into the bucket of fake blood, and the body goes back together. Seems it could work over and over. For the intestines, i see something like bike innertubes, covered with stockings or something else to 'hold' the blood. Maybe some UV reactive or glow in the dark stuff mixed in with the fake blood, OR painted on the intestines as veins or something.

that sounds like an awesome prop to work on. I hope it works out.

I cant belive it, but I got it almost complete.I got the bucket halfs to line up,and it looks sick!I need to get another camera so i can post the pics.I like the idea of the fake blood,pumping out.I will do it.I need to get a slow turn motor for it,im going to put an executioner turning a wheel on it also.

The bungee cord guts sounds good, but everyone is right I think , the cords/guts will bind up and stick out. I was thinking...perhaps you could use the cords AND rig one half of the body somehow with a spring roller inside the torso to pull the guts back up into the torso taking out any slack that would stick out. By spring roller, I mean the type that pulls up a window shade, know what I mean?

Or you may be able to rig the same sort of thing with counter weights you hide inside the rack base if you make the base box-like (hollow) and the body is on top, like a table top. Keep us all posted ok?

thats kind of what i did,but i used a 5 gal bucket cut in half. guts fill the top half (intestines and stuff)and the other piece of bucket is the spine.the bucket halfs line up hiding everything,Iam using a door closerfor the pull on it,it works fine,but im going to change it for a real cylinder,cause its got about 90 psi to it. Mark where in N.C. you located?I just moved back from Tennessee,and spent a lot of time there,wish I was back.

I am in a small city....Newton NC. Near Hickory ? You?

I lived in Crossville Tn.took us about 2 hrs. to get to us129. but thats running around 90 to 120 mph in spurts,we would stay in Chilhowee,just north of tallico lake.Great motorcycle'in roads!
