Mad Scientist Power Pylon DIY

I know, you're already thinking, "ANOTHER mad scientist prop?" But what can I say? The heart wants what it wants!
This is another really good-looking prop that can be made on a shoestring budget with readily-available materials.

Great build and video!

Thank you. Well done. I will provide you credit when I make my own this Halloween!

Ingenious my friend. Making some space videos and looking at props. Like the Power Pylon. Bought some blue icicles for my own space video. Drawing some different ideas. Thanks for sharing. Love the different ideas you come up with. I used to work for Disney and many of the studios in Hollywood as a prop maker in the 80's and 90's. Made some great props and worked on many movies. Shame CGI is making virtual props for movies these days. When the shoot is over no props to take home anymore...

Use blue painters tape over the spot where you are going to drill and the plate won't shatter. Nice tutorial. :)

Fantastic. I've been working on build a Tardis console and trying to figure out how to make the time rotor. With a combination of this and your power converter build I think I can put something together. Thank you.

Sweet. Had an inspiration last evening to take a really nice Frankenstein mask I own and use it to build a Frankenstein Mad Scientist lab display for my yard/home display this year. Two of these would be added to the display would be perfect. Thanks for sharing!

That's pretty cool!

I'm here because the Weird Kid built mad science props, and I need them, so...the cheaper and easier to build , the better.

[@MiamiMillionaire]

Great idea 👍

My set of lights came in a set of 8....would the lights still work the same way if I cut off 6 of them and only use 2 for my prop.

[@amyescobosa6656]

Lovely but can you explain all the goodies in the background

[@gloomtombs147]

Great Video- Thanks for sharing.... Do you have a link to the icicle lights you used? Thanks

Great stuff! Where did you get the brick backdrop?

[@phayes2222]

It was actually just a cheap 4' x 8' brown hardboard panel from Home Depot that I painted.

@@phayes2222 Awesome! Thanks for the response.
