WOOHOO!!!!! somebody did it! It looks great! I was intending on doing this next year to hide a fog chiller... so that a garbage can makes sense out in my yard. I didnt know how to start... Thanks for leading the way!
A question or two: While making it, did you just prop that up with a plastic bag and spray the foam all in there until it hardened, or did you make it out of the can to fit somehow? Your topper does come out correct?

I simply cut out a piece of cardboard to match the shape of the trash can and fit in about 4 inches down. I also lined the top inside edge with cardboard.
I had to cut it a little around the edges to make it come out with a large kitchen knife but it was only stuck in a couple of places.
The trash can is awesome, love it. If available I might try turning the lid upside down and securing it to the inside of the can. Then you have less to fill foam to fill the container with. Great idea I love it.
Does anyone make the "Frankenstein" talking skull 3 axis controller? That he shows in his u-tube presentation? The one that has on board instructions etc? Or at least a materials list & schematic to build one? It looks great but seems to only be a teaser.
Have you created any photo ops and incorporated scare props?
we had folks taking pictures with some of our static props (crypts, Corpses, mausoleum), so I wanted to build something specifically for photo ops.
I’ve seen the electric chairs that vibrate/flash when unsuspecting ToTs sit down...
I have some experience corpsing but not so much with a living creature. To build this Wendigo, I could build out the frame with varying PVC sizes. Or use all one size and then adjust thickness with some foam pipe insulation.
Regarding the thick neck and thick quads, what would you use to...
I'm trying to find some type of software to split audio tracks. More specifically I need to eliminate the music and get the vocals from some songs I'm planning for a new 3 -axis build. I've tried singing myself on one track and it was a disaster. The vocals would not synch up with the music...
I sometimes need to attach things to foam. In one instance it was a foam tombstone that I needed to attach to a thin plywood base, so it would stand up on a stage. Many years ago, I recall seeing someone use what I thought were drywall screws. But, that didn't hold at all on the polystyrene...
