Scary Grave Popper Upgraded (Motorized Animated Halloween Pop Up Prop) #65

This is how I upgraded my animatronic Scary Grave Popper (animated motorized Halloween pop up prop). Last year she was a homemade / diy prop, built last minute. She was moving way too slow and some people never saw her. So, this year, I wanted to make her move much faster. Most lifting Halloween props use pneumatics but since I am pneumatically challenged, I used an old cordless drill and some electronics ( animatronics ) to actuate the prop. Here is how to it was done.

Not bad at all mozon1967.

I must say that you seem to work the same way as me with your projects. There is something very satisfying about the experimentation and creativity in the workshop. I've just started to experiment with pneumatics to add to the effects next year.

Well done with the popper.

Thanks for that petermines.

I couldn't say it any better than you did.

I'd like to try pneumatics for next year also but I'll have to see what the buget permits. Good luck with you're projects. Hope to see some uploads of you're work.
