I though we were going to finish up the wiper motor prop stuff that everyone was working on. But whatever you want to do is fine with me. Sharon, Hanging prop guy? Maybe you can incorporate the rubber chicken in that prop! LOL

Just to let you know that I will TRY to make a work area in the garage, or downstairs someplace, but depending on the weather, working on the wiper motor project may be tough. We need smaller, winter projects, that we can work on indoors, like a makeup demo or something like that, LOL

NoahFentz

Yeah. I can work on adding led eyes to my head for the wiper motor project. Vlad I still need a power source. Im open to anything. Just let me know what to bring.

This one is starting to look good for us what time is too early?

I'm getting withdrawls - I can't wait much longer.

Do we have a project idea settled on yet?

diggerc

02-20-2009, 12:29 PM

OK as of right now nothing is going on to keep us from coming down there.
Pattie just in case i cant find it what is your address again

hpropman

02-20-2009, 01:48 PM

Have we decided what we are going to be doing? I was planning on bringing some wire and plastic worms and such to make creepy crawlies unless we decide to make something else. I am also bringing a Jar and yellow highlighters for some aliens in a jar thing. Has anyone seen those grow in water animals. I will hit the dollar stores this weekend to check and see what they have. we can also use the white crayola modeling clay.

diggerc

02-20-2009, 04:55 PM

Nevermind i found it

Black Cat

02-20-2009, 05:47 PM

Hi Joe, Do you have any pictures of what your talking about for the jar ideas? Is everyone bringing jars to work on? Do we need poison labels or other supplies?

I guess it's kinda cold to work outside on the wiper motor props we started.

Pattie still has no computer so I'm relaying everything back to her via the tellie.

POTLUCK dinner......bring a covered dish and something to drink.

hpropman

02-21-2009, 07:06 PM

Today I hit the dollar store and got a bunch of the grow in water animals, and a big bag of google eyes. Karen just check out the links from my post on the first page to see all the Jar and alien links. look at links 1,2,3,4, and 6. We might even be able to use the drier lint clay. How does it hold up in water? Anyway I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

slightlymad

02-21-2009, 09:08 PM

W will be there. What ever you guys want to work on is cool with me.
Bringing some supplies for paty stuff we dont use any more. Hopefully this time i can remember the parts for the light.

NoahFentz

02-22-2009, 08:18 AM

Like I said I wouldnt mind adding LED eyes to my wiper motor head project. That should not take long then I could join in with the jar project. I will be bringing jars, brown twine, dried goods and other little tidbits for the inside. How does latex hold up in water?

I would love to work with the led lights again. I need a refresher course. I bought red led lights so I will bring some for everyone. I need that other thing to get the led lights to work? What was that thing called again?

Sickie Ickie

02-23-2009, 02:15 AM

A battery. :p

NoahFentz

02-23-2009, 07:57 AM

Sure, we can do some more leds as well I will bring my electronics stuff as well. Do you already have the leds and wire that you need already. We had some left over from the last time we did leds I think Vlad may have them. Jeff or Karen do you have the leds or does another member have them?

Yes. I have the lights and resistors for using a 5v power source. Most of my wires are short. I have not been able to scrape up any longer leads. JoseyGal I had included the lights and resistors in your wighead kit needed to do an eye set so you should have everything you need.

hpropman

02-23-2009, 12:56 PM

I should be able to scrape up some wire, resistors, and I think I have a few 9volt battery clips left, I may not have any 9v batteries anyone have any? I have to look

Joiseygal

02-23-2009, 06:53 PM

A battery. :p
Wise guy! LOL....Yes I have a battery. It was the resistors I was thinking of. Oh and Jeff I don't want to use your gift until I have time to make one of your foam heads. I bought some red led lights from ebay, but I didn't get the resistors. I will buy some copper and resistors from radio shack so I can make a few sets of led light eyes on Saturday. Joe do you have that voltage scanner device thingy? Sorry don't know the proper terms yet???

slightlymad

02-23-2009, 07:08 PM

i had leds soldering stuff and plenty of wire what gfauge do we need. Hmm need anotheer drink cant type yet

hpropman

02-23-2009, 08:27 PM

20 to 22 gauge is ideal but 18 gauge will work also. Sharon it is called a multimeter and it is used for measuring voltage, current, resistance (resistors), and a few other things depending on the model. Here is a link to teach you about it if you want to learn more.

Here is a led tutorial as well.

Hello and welcome to the forum and a great bunch of people.

Vlad

02-26-2009, 02:42 PM

Jay or Joe, got a power cord sturdy enough to rig up Pattie's air comp.? Noah, I'll have a power pack for your wiper motor project, next time pay attention, lol. Yes, latex will hold up in water. Elaine, any chance of bringing the skull molds and Ralph? I'd like to teach him basic casting. Digger, if you show up before they're awake walk in, lol.

hpropman

02-26-2009, 04:26 PM

110V? or 220? If is is 110 I have some heavy extension cords how far to we need to go? what will we be doing with the compressor?

02-27-2009, 10:38 AM

So whats everybody bringin for food? I was thinking 7 layer dip. I do have mention though that there is a chance my hearing will not be up to par. I have an ear infection in one ear and the other is getting there so I have to put drops in my ears. So if I start sawing my thumb off let me know by tapping me in on the shoulder. Its gonna be a fun day.

LOL...Come on Jeff we would never tell you that your sawing your thumb off because we could always use it for a future prop. Yes I am looking forward to getting together with everyone. I'm babysitting all day today so I can have tomorrow off :D Anyway I will see everyone tomorrow around noon and I'm not sure what I will be bringing for food, but I will bring something good!

hpropman

02-27-2009, 10:57 AM

I will be bringing a special surprise dessert. :-D

Vlad

02-27-2009, 11:32 AM

110 Joe. It doesn't need to be more than 6'. And when we get it going she can get a make up air brush for her actors, paint headstones and props and inflate whoopie cushions.

hpropman

02-27-2009, 12:33 PM

Woopie Cushions! Woo Hoo! Although if you ask my wife she will tell that I do need the woopie cushion. Pull my finger anyone? LOL. I have heavy 10 and 15 foot cords I will bring them.

Vlad

02-27-2009, 03:00 PM

Thanks Joe, so if we're re-tutoring on LEDs again, we'll need soldering stations, and the multi meter for Noah's power pack, which I'll be bringing.

hpropman

02-27-2009, 03:18 PM

No problem got you covered.

sharpobject

02-27-2009, 08:44 PM

Ken - I wasn't sure which Ralph you were talking about, so I'm bringing both of them :) (Ralphie misses all of you). I'll be happy to bring the skull molds. We also have 2 power sources we have questions on, so I'll bring them as well. I will also be bringing Chili. See you all tomorrow !!

Black Cat

02-27-2009, 08:46 PM

Ok Noah, I will call you in the morning when we are ready to leave and pick you up.
I'm trying to convince Devin to drive over to our house so we can all go together.

As for food I have a huge dish of sausage, pepper and onions just out of the oven for tomorrow.
I also have a dessert as promised several threads back.

See everyone tomorrow.

slightlymad

02-27-2009, 10:03 PM

I hope Kenny feels better soon! Thanks for the B-Day gifts they were awesome!!! Oh and I hope Jay and Ken got that compressor going?!?! Oh and Jeff I will get back to you with the some of the questions I asked you because I never got an answer because you couldn't hear me. LOL.

LMAO WHAT!! Is was nice meeting meeting the people that I have not met before. It is always a blast getting together with all of you. And now onto our devious prop planning for this year. The warm weather will be here soon and then Kenny can make some more of his famous fire roasted hot dogs :D. Kenny I hope you are feeling better and as usual you and Patti are our very gracious host, thank you. I will you all again soon.

Hey Ralph - just remember who joined first.......

Yep - we definately need to work on getting the mixture just the right consistency.

NoahFentz

03-02-2009, 08:58 PM

Hi had a nice time with the molds. I got sick of being referred to as "Mr. sharpobject" so I decided to join the forum. Hope Kenny is feeling better. Tried to do the skull molds at home but need to work on the mixture.

Yeah I think a little more soupy but not too runny. I like to do two small pours. I use 2 full 8oz plastic cups of plaster and 1 full cup and a quarter of that cup of cold water. stir really good and make sure you get all the plater on the sides. I use a smaller container too.

diggerc

03-08-2009, 08:46 PM

I have an old oriental area rug about 8'X11" it's black with shades of gray with a pattern that resembles Bats i dont have room anymore to store it has a good look for a haunted house. if anybody wants to see a picture i can get one if you want it I'll bring it to patties next get together.
