New Ghost Approach

[heresjohnny]

I wanted to do something different for a ghost prop instead of a Flying Crank Ghost. After some experimenting, here is what I ended up with. I hope you like it.

Looks nice ... how did you get the arms to move?

[NickG]

very interesting. Looks like multiple movements there.

[Demon Dog]

That's great! The motion and tattered & layered look are awesome.

[The Creepster]

I like that movement better then the traditional FCG...more realistic, fluid like..arms don't look like to sticks moving under a sheet. Good job

[smileyface4u23]

That's really nice - very natural movements!

[Otaku]

Awesome, HJ! Good to see you back in haunting mode!

[fritz42_male]

Don't you just hate it when someone builds an awesome prop like this and doesn't include a howto!

8-)

[RoxyBlue]

Yes, yes, we need a how-to!:)

[Spooky1]

I'd like to know how you did it too!

[ScreamingScarecrow]

Great Job! That would be a howto I'd put to use!

[DaGhoulies]

I like it alot! Looks great. As many others, I would love to see a how to on this one. I have been very inerested in obtaining/making an FCG.

[heresjohnny]

Thanks everyone, glad you like it. The neighborhood kids got a preview in the garage, they really like it. I don't have a how-to, but I will see what I can do about getting some pictures and descriptions together.

[Haunted Bayou]

That is fantastic. He looks like he is floating around.
FCGs are so passe'. LOL!

[dave the dead]

nice!

[CreeepyCathy]

looks great ! love the movement!!!

[fick209]

That is one fantastic ghost. Like everyone else, I love the movement. Great job on it.

[Creeper]

FCG's are passe already and I've yet to make one!

I really like the creepy movement on this.

[nixie]

Great job! I love the tattered cloak!

[Bone Dancer]

Excellent job and yes a how-to of some kind is in order. Good job on the vid too.

I always think it's a bit funny when someone says something has a "natural" movement and it's a ghost or a corpse or some other dead thing. And yes, I know you ment it didn't look mechanical. Just one of those things that haunters say.

Ghost 2 is finished. Simple talking boris on a pole with some cheese clothe. This guy will greet TOTs as they turn onto the sidewalk leading to my door. Very simple, and I imagine very effective. Ghost 3 is on the workbench, more to come.

Ahwwww c'mon stop teasing us! You are killing us! Please post some more pictures. LOL Love it. This will definitely be the new standard for a FCG type prop - you will have to give a name.

[heresjohnny]

Me, a tease?:googly:

I'll try to start a thread tonight that explains how I did it. Very focused on finishing up some props right now.

[hpropman]

We are all in the same boat. I may have to cut a prop for time and my wife wanting the bathroom finished. when you can.

[RoxyBlue]

Better watch out - you're going to earn the title of "Ghost King":D

[heresjohnny]

We are all in the same boat. I may have to cut a prop for time and my wife wanting the bathroom finished. when you can.

LOL, Yeah I'm trying to finish up a Master Bathroom remodel myself, all thats left is a little trim work and paint, but it has to wait until after Halloween. Wife grabbed the tools I had in the bathroom and threw them into the garage while I was working on the ghosts over the weekend, guess I know now what she thinks of my current priorities:D

[Lunatic]

Wow HJ, I love it. It floats nice and smooooth with just enough arm movement. The fabric was placed perfectly, too. Congrats on the new prop!

[Draik41895]

I think we have a new era of FCG upon us,the HJFCG. We might need a better name though

[Scary Godmother]

I LOVE blacklight ghosts and yours are awesome! I too would like to see how you did it! Love the movement.

[Spooklights]

I love the ghosts. I'd love to see how they're made, when you have time.

[heresjohnny]

Thanks everyone for all the compliments, I am glad everyone likes it so much.
