I thought it was about time I get started on a couple new props. So, I got the mechanical bugs worked out on this one and it sure looks like he's doing push ups. Close to what I was going for, I'll post another video when finished.

Kinda. Kinda looks like something else.

Good job tho, nicely done.

That's pretty cool, poor thing looks exhausted! Can't wait to see if finished!

If somehow you could get it to rear it's head further back at the highest apex it would look creepy like if it's looking at you

Looks pretty good. That's the way they used to make women do push ups when I was in the Navy.

Where was this "Guy" when i was in H.S. Football? Put the uniform on him and sneak home! VERY GOOD!

 

[TRENTWOOD TERROR]

put a body under him and he could be EATING someone!

I like TT's idea~he's already making 'munching' sounds naturally.

Great that this is something different; not vertical. Don't know what your plans are for him...
Random thought here~is there any way to position the leg(s) so that he looks like he's crawling, or maybe
about to leap up from one knee? Creeping, crawling things are super freaky.
Not sure if that would interfere with the mechanical stuff?
Tons of good inspiration here..can't wait to see the finale!

Great prop! Very original.
Nice job on the mechanics of it all, too. I guess he could also be turned into a "Puking Skeleton" with the same motion. LOL

Thanks for for the nice comments everyone. What I have planed for this guy is, bobbing for apples. I have a fake apple and a plastic wooden barrel planter, that I want his head bobbing in and out of. Using a wiper motor my plans are to have his head submurged, rotate once up and back down in the water when triggered. I'll use a small aquarium air pump to make it look like he's breathing and also have the legs kicking. Well thats the plan anyway.

I would put a small skeleton head in his mouth and have him bobbing for skeleton heads..and if you run the air tube up his neck and into his mouth he will not only make bubbles in the water but sound like he's breathing..lol..I love the ideas where this could go..thanks!

 

[Dogbite]

STB you read my mind on the air tube.

To me, it look like he is a slave bowing to the pumpkin king. But what ever it look like to you, I think its pretty cool.

 

[Shadow Panther]

I must follow this post. I love the effect so far. I can see several uses already

 

[Nepboard]

Very nice concept!

 

[Dogbite]

Here's the finished product.

Really GREAT prop, Dogbite!!! He's going to be a hit

 

[6-paq]

Oh my gosh! Looks so cool! What an original idea for a prop!

How u control viper? I like part when he submerge for 3 5 seconds. U triger manualy or programm controller?
Super great movements

 

[Dogbite]

I'm running it manualy now, but hope to get a picovolt controller and a motion sensor trigger. It's great having a b-day just before halloween!
