I made this prop from a shiatsu massager. I also made the head from a foam head with clay and latex. This prop will be displayed in my tortured chamber. I hope you enjoy! YouTube - 2009 Shiatsu Massager Psycho Halloween Prop
I'm going to take a picture of the inside so you can see how it is hooked up. Actually out of all the motors I worked with the Shiatsu Massager was the easiest. As for the neck I'm going to try cutting the pvc pipe at the neck and adding plastic ties. I will only leave a little room for movement. I will take a video later of the results. Also thanks for all the nice comments.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I've decided to change the head a little to make it more realistic. Not sure if I accomplished it, but let me know if it looks better of worse? I could always throw a mask over it if it doesn't look good. I gave the neck movement, so I think that makes it more realistic. I also changed the location of the straps that hold the shiatsu massager in place to give it more of a back and forth movement. Anyway let me know if I screwed the prop up by changing it or if it looks better? Thanks for any feedback. Sorry no pictures of the inside I have to much padding to get a good shot of how I hooked it up. YouTube - New Improvements 2009 Shiatsu Massager Psycho Animated Halloween
I like the changes. I'm still wondering which Shiatsu Massager you used. I googled it and there are many types available. If it's an inexpensive one I'd like to make this prop.
I was able to check the name on the shiatsu massager and it says its a Pollenex Rub Down Shiatsu Massager. I googled it and unfortunately I couldn't find it. I think a similar one would be: SHIATSU NECK BODY MASSAGER - eBay (item 300345219745 end time Sep-12-09 14:57:09 PDT)
I got mine from a garage sale that a friend picked up for me. Good Luck!
