If you look at some of my pictures you can see my buckys that i corpsed. In all honesty you harld notice the seam on the skull when its all done. I did mine using latex and panty hose. I highly recomend going this way. If you are very nervous about the seem being visible just either add more latex or leave the panty hose in such a way that it covers the seam.

Nice job BTW on the servo. Was it hard to do? I have been thinking a lot about doing a talking skull but i think i am gonna wait till next year.

Good Luck

You might want to consider one of the Scary Terry audio servo boards:
Cowlacious Scary Terry Products

The new version will control a couple of led eyes and a servo in sync with audio, no VSA or computer required. Runs on 4 AA batteries so the only cable you need to run is the audio from a CD or MP3 player. A cheap MP3 player could also be mounted in the skull to eliminate all cables.

Otherwise it's hard to beat the Lynxmotion SSC32 with 32 servo ports for $40. That and VSA is overkill for a one servo setup but will come in handy the more servos or skulls you add.

Yep, what Deathly said. For a single servo, the Cow board is a good way to go, but if you're considering expanding, go for the SSC-32.

I'll second the Scary Terry Board motion, with one reservation-- don't run it off a battery pack. I went through a set of four batteries every 20 minutes one Halloween with that board. I suggest finding a suitable wall wart.

I used the SSC 32 board... Don't remember the cost but it wasn't too bad. Really easy to use and your not limited on the servos (well till a point !).
