Sorry for the delay, spent the weekend working.
There is two pictures in my Misc. Pictures album that should help. The motor is held in place by a simple wooden box I built around it I normally use screws and wires to hold it in place). For the rod, I use a threaded rod, with a fish eye bolt. They are connected using a special bolt (I get mine from Home Depot). The fisheye on the motor is held in place with a washer and a pin. The other, at the arm is held in place by washers and two collars (I love this method). The collars secure in place with an allen screw. As for the paint, I use "Leaf green" and "Apple Green" both from home depot. I just go their and check out their spray paints. I chose colors that catch my eye. I have a cool deep blue and purple that I can't wait to use (which means it will come out poor).

It re-opened when they moved it over to the Props category!

Howdy, which blucky color are you talking about? I buy my paints from home depot (spray paints). I have a killer purple and blue I can't wait to use!

Here is the arm, sorry about the picture being sideways. Here is what I did:
Used smallest PVC I could find. I ran a section from the base up through the body. At the shoulders I used a "+" connection. I Then ran a section out to the shoulder and another up to put the skull on. On the shoulder, I used a larger sized "T" connection (so it could rotate freely) To keep the arm from sliding off, I simply drilled a hole and inserted a dowel into the small PVC. On the arm, I used a 45 for the elbow. I then drilled a hole for the bolt and ran my rod from the motor up to it. Real simple and not complicated so little to go wrong. Doing this same method on my butler rebuild. Then I cut a section of the blucky arm and put it over the exposed area's of the arm. I hid the rest with clothing.

Thank you, I'll have to search this bobzilla out.

Howdy!
I seen your post on your video pumpkins, looks great. I want to try this. I was going to do the over version with lights VSA, blah, blah. Too time consuming. Can you give me any hepful hints so i don;t go and try to reinvent the wheel? Thanks

That pool set up is cool. Too dry and hot for that here. The water would dry up too fast. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for watching the vlogs. It's funny, I'm driving one of my buddies crazy with the wax hands. LOL Funny you should mention the screen printing. I'm having to do more today for the rescue I work with.

You're welcome
I have to create time, even when there is no time...that doesn't make any sense LOL
It's hard, but just have to find the time
Btw...creating the pirate themed haunters thread was genius!!!
