Base:
First I attached the 2x4 to the piece of plywood using 2 1/4" 2" finishing nails. Then I spray painted the base black. Next I attached 2 hook-eye screws on the two corners length-wise across from each other.
Motor and Linkage:
I cut two pieces of flat aluminum stock into 1 3" piece and 1 10" piece. Using a 1"x1/4" #20 screw I connected the 3" piece to the shaft of the motor. I then connected the 10" piece to the 3" piece using 1/4" nuts doubling the nuts on the inside and out to lock them in place. I left enough space for the 10" arm to spin freely. I attached the motor the 2x4 on the base about 4 inches up using 2 3"x1/4" #20 screws and two 1/4" nuts, leaving enough room for the 3" arm to swing around the bottom. Then using 2 strips of plastic cut from the Sunny-D bottle to for limiters for the 10" linkage and secured them to the 2x4 using the 1/8"x1/2" finishing screws. The lower piece behind the linkage, the upper in front. The lower piece keeps the bolts securing the 3" linkage to the motor from binding with the 10" linkage when it circles around.
Once the base and motor assembly were complete I wrapped a 1'x2' piece of poultry wire around the 2x4 post tacking it on with the 1/16" finishing nails along the back. This keeps the shirt from binding the linkage when the prop is running.
Armature:
The armature consists of 2 8" pieces of 1/2" PVC connected by 1 1/2" cross connector where the neck would be. A 6" piece extends up for the neck. The arm sections were cut and connected to the shoulders and at the elbows using hemp twine. They were then wrapped with plastic grocery bags and secured with masking tape to bulk them up a little. The armature connects to the top end of the 10" linkage using 1 2"x1/4" bolt and 1 1/4" nut and is secured tightly. I bulked up the neck using a vitamin water bottle stuffed with newspaper and taped it down over the PVC neck.
The head is built Stolloween style. I started with a plastic grocery bag and stuffed it with more bags to bulk it out and form the base of the skull. I taped the skull base to the neck on the armature. I then used the face templates and paper mache'd it up with newspaper. After drying I removed the plastic bag. Using strips of plastic from a milk jug I created a set of teeth and glued them in with elmers glue. Next I added a layer of paper towels dipped in mache mix for skin. After the towels dried I lighted spray painted skull with Ivory spray paint. I also inserted the nozzle of the black spray paint into the mouth and filled the interior. When all was dried I used a black sharpie to fill in the nose and eye sockets then coated it with the clear latex sealer. Using some chewing gum I added the prop eye to one side. Last I coated the head with the spray adhesive and added the hair and goatee.
After distressing the shirt I suited up Cletus then secured the wrists to the two hook eye screws on the base using hemp twine.
