Hangman Upgrade

That is sweet Doc

Looks great! Noone is going to miss the movement this year.

SAVE HIM! How can you just take a video???? haha. Looks really realistic, great job!

Thanks. I'm thinking of hooking up to a color organ. Not so he can thrash to the oldies, but I think an intermittant sound (no speakers) would give him a more random movement.

Me Like Me Really Like

Nice movement with the changes Doc. Great work!

Great job!! Hope you have audio of his agony!!

I do have a CD I burned of me making choking sounds. I just haven't installed a speaker in him yet...and my camera doesn't record sound.

Me like.....Is this the traditional wipermoter in the bucket prop?

I couldn't get mine to work like that. Next year for me I guess. Congrats on the movement. Looks really good.

I tried to talk my neighbor into letting me hang him. I told him it was just for one night, but he was a no go. I even offered to put a ladder under his feet every ten minutes or so. He just was NOT interested. Party pooper.

Looks great Doc!!

Good idae on kicking the legs like that Doc, I love it.

That's some amazing movement, Dr., any hopes of you posting more detail on the building of it? Maybe some photo's of the leg portion.

I'm pretty much a nube at building props, I've done a few bodies before, but would just stick a Bobble Ball in their chest for some random twitching, with a somewhat rigid skeleton for realistic movement (elbows, knees, etc) unfortunately, those aren't on the market anymore.

very cool, dr. m!

I could take a pic of the legs, but they are all covered in padding now. There really isn't much to it, as I borrowed Deathlords Hangman body frame and hip joint design. The only difference between his and mine, really, is his is pneumatic, and mine uses a wiper motor.

Here is a link to his page, which should give you a better idea how the body is constructed.

Thanks, didn't know that's where it came from.

I see I'm not the only one with to much crap in their garage!!
Prop looks fantastic though. Wish i had one, maybe next year.

Garage? That's my livingroom! jk..LOL! Yes, my garage is crap central. It was real clean 2 weeks ago..untill I hauled out the props and started tweaking them. To do that I needed my tweaking stuff, of course..Power supplies,PVC pipe, wire, extension cords, rope, old clothes, solder, screws and fasteners, glue, paint..well, you get the idea. Oh yea, and power tools...I have it all just where I can get at it. Right at my feet!
