Stalkabout costume

[TheAlistorPrice]

Is there a video of how to build this?



[matthewthemanparker]

@TheAlistorPrice It's a fairly simple build out of pvc. You can go to halloweenforum . com and search for the thread entitled "I've started my stalkabout" for more pictures and video.

@matthewthemanparker Thank you. I can't wait to build one of my own.

thanks for all the help! I posted a video of how the frame turned out :-)

[gogglecrab]

Is the metal strip that connects the helmet to the head platform hinged?

[matthewthemanparker]

@gogglecrab Yes, there is a hinge at both ends of it.

[gogglecrab]

@matthewthemanparker now what kind of hinges do you use for it?

[matthewthemanparker]

@gogglecrab Just some standard triangular hinges I picked up at Lowes. They are about 2" in length.

@matthewthemanparker Thanks for the help, all I needed for my stalkabout was the head movement, now I can finish it!

[matthewthemanparker]

@gogglecrab No problem. My only word of advise is to make the head as light as possible. It makes a difference over a long night.

do you have pans for this you can email me? awsome work btw looks sick

[matthewthemanparker]

I don't have plans, I just built it as I went along. All you need is a hiking backpack with a frame, some pvc, and a camera tripod. The pvc fit perfectly on the backpack frame and I just built off of it cutting the pvc as I went to the size I thought would work & look best.

Thanks! I guessed it was a tripod, but I wanted to make sure. Genius! Thanks again!

[chorusjunky26]

Hi. The armature is awesome! Could you please tell me what you used for the hinge at the head joint, and the diameter of the pvc used? Thanks!

[matthewthemanparker]

Sure, the joint is an old camera tripod I cut up and I think it was 3/4 pvc.
