Had this idea rattling in my head for at least a year, and though we're scaling well back this year, I still wanted to get this one built.
Had use it or lose it situation on my vacation, so taking a few days off and getting a couple hours to work in the new air conditioned shop in between plenty of house work that needed to be done. .
Idea is to actually have the wings detachable and assemble on sight.
LOL, I'm not sure which I'm ore impressed with - the prop or the air conditioned workshop! Here in Arizona, it's brutal to work on the garage during the summer (and late spring and early fall).
Sweet! I really look forward to your creations. I went back through your blog last year to see your previous year's stuff because I found your style really innovative and it was cool watching your haunt grow and change. I love how you get your whole block involved, it really brings out the spirit of Halloween. I'm excited to see what this year brings.
Test concept for attaching the wing frames. I need this to be move-able in pieces.
Concept was modeled on the tendon a bird's wing naturally has in roughly this location. I'm not sure it works for my plans though. Other options include a smaller rope off the first 'joint' in the wings, would go arcross the back and thus prevent them from rolling, which is the problem. If that fails, there's always a pin possibility.
I need to locate a lot more 'ugly branches' to cover the frame and make disjointed 'featerish' shapes on the wings.
I am really wanting to make a zombie doll/creepy doll but I am having some difficulty finding a good doll to start with. I would like to get a 36" doll but I keep coming across ones that are either all fabric or ones that are not at all even close to being realistic, like HUGE painted eyes and...
Has anyone done this before? I want to have a skeleton actual climb up and down my house, not be static like other displays. He would be surrounded by others but one would actually move up and down.I did find a tutorial on Youtube involving a spider that used a deer motor. This was more crude...
Hi everyone...
I am looking for a tutorial on creating a 3 axis head. If someone would please be so kind to help. I did try to search the forum but what I seem to find are dead links.
I did sign up for the Stan Winston School tutorials but honestly it seems like a lot of chatting but very...
I am looking for some very rustic and spooky looking lanterns for a graveyard scene. They can be plastic or metal, style is more important. They will absolutely be refinished, I doubt they would fit the style without being reworked. They do not need any internal lighting, it would be gutted...
Hey guys-
I've been reading up on the 3 axis skulls in other threads, and am looking for some help making one myself. I've never done animatronics before, but- I'm not a complete moron to things either ;) I am going to order one of those 'Pirate Skulls' tonight- so that'll be done. I also want...
