Here are two new projects I am working on so far this year. The coffin is going to (hopefully) be pneumatic and is made of fence pickets. The fog chiller fits inside the tombstone and fog will come out of both sides.

Very nice I really like the tomstone Idea.

Great coffin, very unique.

I agree. Great coffin. Interesting way do the doors. I'm doing a fence picket coffin as well this year.

I also like the way you have the coffin opening, good idea to aid in animating. The gate columns are good also. Whats your plan for inside the cooler for the fog chiller?

Great coffin....I could imagine fog coming out, and the doors banging with some cool sound effect...Maybe a light in it too..Hmmmm..

Thanks everyone. Let's see, the fog chiller has a pvc "T" pipe in the cooler and splits off 2 ways using flexible aluminum dryer piping and will be filled with ice. As for the coffin, I'm waiting for some Bimba air cylinders that I bought on ebay. I'm going to attempt to make the doors open and have a bucky pop out. Probably also make a knocking, sound, fog and lights. No holding back on my first pneumatic, figure if I'm going to do it I might as well go all the way. I'm sure I'll need some help with the controller. Hopefully I'll have some updates over the weekend.

Did you build the coffin from plans from somewhere, or was it your own design?

 

[allreagray]

No plans, I just kind of winged it.

sweet head, the first pic looks like the emperor from star wars!

Wow nice Coffin, but what really caught my eye was your stone pillars and stone entrance. That looks so damn good how did you get the rounded stone effect? :jol:

 

[allreagray]

i have to fix my link. The stone pillars are 2x2 frame covered in 2" pink foam that I carved with an electric carving knife, like you use for turkey. Great stuff and oops paint from home depot.
