Hangman I made. First try at anything like this ... I'm happy with it.

What do you guys think? I like the arm movement, but the leg movement
is a bit odd still.

Looks great,nice movement,any pics or video of the build?

what did you use to create the movement?

Looks very good

Great prop!
Welcome to the forum!

All done with PVC, 1/2 and 3/4". Basically used the 1/2 to go between Tee's to allow movement in shoulders and legs. I have a video of the insides I'll post it soon.

Working on a Kid kicker (I'm not sure what the common name is) Its all built but I'm find out really quick that amps = very important. I have a couple of wall plugs. 12v, 4.5 amp works my hangman well. Then I have a 5v, 2amp and 6v, 1.0 amp plugs ... but you can't pull a lot with em. One of them will do well for my head popper that I'll build next but I need another 12v, 4amp plug for sure.

great job, looks good

bump for mechanical video

Not the best video, but untill I undress him I can't show exactly how it was done. It was WAY easier than I expected though
and took me a few hours to put together. My Kicking legs ones seemed easier but it was way harder (more moving parts)

what kind of motor did you use? we spen some time this year trying to mechanize our hangman, but couldnt come up with the right kind of motor, everthing we had was to big or too small.

looks great!

I got 3, one from an Escort, Saturn and Madza B2200 truck.
This one was from the Madza. IMO, the best one I got.
