any ideas on animatating her o making her fly but i dont want an fcg

 

[shaunathan]

possible axeworthy, how much does she weigh?

 

[grim reaper]

im not sure but its very light and made of only fabric latex and a couple of pieces of wire to pose arms

 

[Beepem]

umm can you weigh it? or give a guess?

 

[grim reaper]

erm its in the attic at the mo but roughly erm like lighter than a hairdryer roughly thats just an object nearly everyone has in there home which is the rough wheight of.

 

[shaunathan]

you'd need some strong cable, but an axeworthy is a possiblity

 

[grim reaper]

will a fan motor be ok ??

 

[Beepem]

a hairdryer.........hmm, yeah thats kinda heavy. axworthys is like under a pound from all the things that ive read, i think itd take a hell of a motor to power that too. itd need to be quick and be strong enough to haul that thing.

anyway, I think an fcg with counterwights would be good. i tried my design for fcg's today, it worked awesome, a how to is a comin...

 

[grim reaper]

i only have a fan motor im using the slow motor for a fcb (flying crank bat)

 

[Beepem]

ummm, jw, what is a crank bat gonna do? generally like the arms will go up and down and sometimes the head but a bat...?

 

[grim reaper]

wings will flap like its flying lol

 

[Beepem]

hmm, ok if you say so.

i think that the bride would be much cooler than a lil bat

 

[grim reaper]

its a bigish bat and i will get the bride out the attic tomorrow and see how well it works i wont use head movement though

I made one of these:http://www.vilethings.com/simple_pop_up_introduction.htm

Using something similar to this:

Yours has arms so you may need to modify them to work with this pop-up. Wokrs great though and scares the crap out of people.
