Here is a segment from my haunt of the prop in action.

Here is a video I created showing the workings of it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Awesome how to! If I ever get around to making some pneumatics this will definetely be on the list! thanks a lot

 

[joker]

Sweet! Thanks for sharing.

 

[SpookySam]

This really makes me want to make the move from motors to pneumatic. I'll have to find a way to talk myself out of it again. Thanks a lot!

Seriously, this prop is great and I love the simplicity of it. Good job.

SICKKKK!!! im so copying this but i'll change it up and try a bucky torse. nice prop man i love seen new **** like this!

 

[Sickie Ickie]

Somebody call me? LOL What strikes me is that once again, the simplicity of the body makes it one of the best I've seen!

[bourno]

Nice !!!

Thanks for sharing, that is pretty sweet for the action with only 2 air cylinders.

 

[Fiend4Halloween]

kinda hard to read the materials needed. Could you please list them, and btw, AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!

I was trying to picture the mech after seeing you posted your haunt vid. The most effective props always seem to be the simplest (and most reliable). Thanks for sharing!

 

[Dr Morbius]

I love that! That gives me a reason to try pneumatics.

 

[Lotus]

OH WOW could you post the parts lists its hard to read it from the movie

 

[groovie ghoulie]

Awesome Prop, an where did ja get that "brains" audio? I sure could use that! Oh and what the heck the parts list also!!

 

[Casa Fear]

Sorry the parts list was hard to read, but here it is.


6' of 2x4
2 pneumatic cylinders
2 foot brackets
2 rod clevis
2 clevis mounting brackets
2 4-way solenoid valves
1 prop controller
4 3" hinges (wrist/elbow)
2 2.5" hinges (shoulder)
12 carriage bolts (attaching cylinder)
10 flat phillips bolts (hinges)
2 hex bolts (shoulder)
locking nuts/washers for all bolts
drywall screws (elbow hinge, securing wrist hinge to plywood base)
plywood for base

All bolts were 1/4 by 2" long
I used a picoBoo as the controller but you can use anything that has at least 2 outputs.

Incredible!!

Nice Job man! Looking at the finished prop you would expect to see so much more going on under there...fantastic!

 

[Sickie Ickie]

What psi did you use?

 

[Casa Fear]

The PSI was around 35.

Ohh this looks like something i might have to try since it seems fairly inexpensive to do given that i have a box of cylinders.. what a good way to start trying out some pneumatics

 

[scream1973]

Whats a good controller to use thats not to pricey?
