I actually did build one. I would guess it cost me $75 - $100 to build. I like the movement of the prop. It appears out of nowhere if placed behind a window cutout.
Here is a link to my site. Go to the props page and you will find my Body Slinger. Click the pic and there is a video as well.

OK Widow, thanks for the invite. I put a link to you on my site. I will try and do that first thing tomorrow. The "hello" that is.
I'd actually suggest avoiding PVC pipe as your mechanism material. Go with steel instead. Even if you don't have access to a welder, it's possible to bolt these types of things together.
PVC fittings always seem to crack at stress points, and you keep rebuilding them. Do it with steel the first time, and worst case, you have to retighten some bolts occassionaly.
Of course, if you can get your hands on a small mig welder, give it a shot. It's easier than it looks.
