I've seen this done many places and have even been scared out of my pants at some Pro haunts lol lol got me!!!but I would love to bring this into my home haunt...my theme for my haunt is an old run down prison and I thouhgt I could build a cop car/patty wagon...But I don't know where to start!! I do know i want it to be actor controled and it can be large but I would like to be able to break it down for storage...also I don't want it to be just flood lights in a wall I want it to look like a car is going to hit U :eek: any help or ideas wil sure be welcomed would love to see if some one out here has done this prop?

NT, assuming you need to keep this lightweight to move it easier, you might think about using monster mud over a skeleton of the 1/4" wire mesh. I used that to make my cannon (see website) and wasn't sure it would even work, but found out you can sand monster mud down to an almost metal-smooth finish! If you want to go that route, let me know and I'll give more of a how-to.

its latex paint and joint compound ....joint compound is not exactly smelly.....but you know paint can get smelly.....Wondering if your gonna do this in closed in area? I have heard stories of flash fires from paint fumes.....Just a thought keep windows open.

NT - The only smell you should experience is the paint you paint it with (normally latex house paint). I should probably send you the how-to off list since it will be pretty lengthy. I've found that when a post goes on and on here, the system sort of "boots" you off and the post gets lost. Just need a good email addy for you.
