Thread: The Pit - my first prop

Tweet

Ok, after finding this awesome site, I had to dive in and see if I could build something. I found a great and awesome tut from LTScare on "hot coals". Thx LTScare ! I wanted to expand on the idea and this is what I have come up with so far. The ash part looks goofy in the light, but once the lights go out and I hit the internal lights, it looks pretty cool. You can check out my album page to see a somewhat progress of the build as well as a brief description. Also, I used pegbord to put the foam on and didn't foam it all the way. I want to get a fog machine and stick under it to see if the fog will come up through the holes like smoke. I want to rig up a rotisserie from an electric can opener motor as well (that's still in progress-looking for the right gears). Wood I have. Electrical/mechanical I do not. Thanks for all the cool ideas on this site. Can't wait to finish this one and move on to another project.

The peg board/fog machine idea is great. Can't wait to see a video.

Well done !!!

Wow! That is very cool! Well done!

that is awesome.

Oh yeah, great prop here! The fog is gonna look sweet.

Oh come on the suspense is killing me don't make us wait I wanna see the fog. Please.... Pretty Please!!!! come on don't make me beg!!! LOL Looks real good!!

Whoa for a first build prop that is really impressive and the concept different from what I've seen around. I too am looking forward to a video. Great job so far and nice to have you here on the forum Morbiddious.

Very cool idea!
