For the leaning ground breaker thing, were you running the motor on a mguts pacemacker, or the slow speed with the 5vdc power supply? also, where did you get the eyeball blanks? sweet prop, i really want to build one.

[ulcerative]

@qcages Thank you for the interest. 5Volt/5Amp using the low speed terminals. Got the eyeball blanks and LED's from Mguts too. Eyeball blanks are under the miscellaneous prop parts menu $0.89 for a dozen and the LED pre-wired w/9V contacts are under the Lighting,Strobes,LED's menu. I ended up just hacking off the battery contacts and hardwired it into a 9VDC power supply.

Way too cool!!! I had an idea similar but havent gotten around to it.... Great job

Great prop! I've been doing a Halloween display for years now I'm just now getting into using motors, my question is : ) do I splice a regular extention cord to it and plug it into the wall? How do you get power to these? Thanks!

[ulcerative]

@sweetlogo You can pick up both a wiper motor and matching 5 or 12 volt power supply from Monsterguts. The power supply comes with spade connectors which plug directly onto the wiper motor terminals. Or you can save some money and use any 12 volt DC wall wart. These particular motors are very dependable and have almost endless uses for motorized props.

Are those rubber bands going from the l brackets to the PVC? If so what are they for?

[ulcerative]

@boonha2001 I used them to restrict the rotation of the PVC.

[boonha2001]

Outstanding!!!!! I'm stealing this idea for my yard haunt this year, best groundbreaker I've seen in a long time.

@boonha2001 Thank you!

I am planning on going zombie crazy this year, but the head possibilities are proving to be expensive. Where did you get the mask from?

[ulcerative]

@gardenmonk68 I picked it up at the local party store which stocks typical party and seasonal holiday supplies. It was prior to Halloween when I picked the mask up with no intention of using it for props. Had a vinyl mask which just did not look right and tried out the cheapo plastic mask and it worked out much better. I paid around $2.98 for the mask, it comes in a variety of expressions and both genders. Ended up painting it with cheap acrylic craft paint to give a more ghoulish look to him.

Love that wiper motor usage. Simple yet looks complex finished. That a better usage and I have all those materials. I wish to steal your idea my friend.
