What a great idea incorporating this into prop building. Its amazing what people can do with that foam when making their cosplay outfits and costumes. Thanks for taking the time to pump a vid out it was nice to see you.
I will be using this a lot more! So many uses for the prop builder!
Nice to hear from you. We miss you.

Had a suggestion (I'm a retired Fabric worker Air Force) use some spray glue on some card board and lay the templets down on the glued side, dry, and cut out… makes a stiffer templet. Use card board about as thick as a pizza box or even a pizza box if you like.
Great tutorial, I am working on a freddy faz bear as a display piece that looks at the door when someone opens it, then when its closed it looks back ahead, i have the mechanics done, just have to figure out how to trigger the animation when the door opens, but now i can create the body thanks to this
WERE WAITING EVERY NIGHT TO FINALLY ROAM AND INVITE
Finish the song!
Now we have to wait until next year!

This...actually makes more sense than what I was thinking, which was just trying to bulk up my horseman's body with pool noodles. I just happen to have a yoga mat I got at Goodwill (for cosplay armor) - I'll use that to bulk up his torso, then coat it with Monster Mud (he's standing in front of a tree pointing at his next victim) and use the noodles for his arms.
Sounds great! Would love to see a picture when you finish.
At a boy, Steve! Another great video!
Thanks Dano!
Great video! Cutting starts at 7:19
Thank you!
excellent use of the foam!
Thank you! I am very pleased with the results.
I love you bro
I beat Jose! LOL
I never thought of using the foam for body forms. Sure beats my plastic bag mannequin I have been working on. I am going to have to check out that tutorial on Evil Teds channel for that glue container. I love your ending. I think I have a never ending passion to build. Great video.
I have tried many methods and this is by far the best for me.
can you do a diy video on how to animate a mannequin's arm to go up and down instead of circling
grate idea! !! thanks for the tip.
My pleasure. Hopefully you can use this in your builds.
Great video! This helps with my Lifesize Michael Myers I am in the process of making, he’ll be super realistic (that’s the goal) and he will have very realistic posable pvc arms and posable silicone hands, I hope to make him animated in the future but for this year he will be a static prop. I’ve just finished cutting out the foam pieces and am going to finish glueing the armor tomorrow possibly. Any advice on how to get the arm to do an up and down stabbing motion with a wiper motor?
You could do the same thing using just two pieces by 'darting' the curves required and some prior sculpting with the heat gun.
Absolutely! One of the cool things about this process is you can make it as simple or detailed as you want.
My boy and I have started making FNAF Freedy Fazbear costume and only have the Head completed at the moment and would love to get the blue prints to finish the body, legs and arms
Why when I look for animatronic videos is it always the costume none of the mechanical things??! Like seriously the only one I found is a head mechanism with a guy that has such a strong accent I can't really understand 2lwhat he is saying AND he doesn't list ALL of the parts!
I know exactly what you are saying! I want to see under the hood on how something actually works. Check out some of my other videos where I try to show more of the "nuts and bolts" of the builds. I have done some Facebook Live episodes that I have posted on here that include a lot of info. If there is something specific you are looking to build, let me know and I'll see if I have more specifics that I can provide for you.
Halstaff's Animatronic Workshop thank you!! What am mainly trying to find is how to make the head neck and body the arms are straight forward and the legs song have electronics so ye thanks again!
This video shows some of the body components and how I control them - ruclips.net/video/TkJH7nt4B0w/видео.html I also write a monthly column in Servo Magazine on DIY Animatronics that gives much more detail on how I build my characters. Here's a link to a sample article that they have posted on their site - www.servomagazine.com/index.php/magazine/article/June2015_Koci
Yeah saw that one, i need better tutorials .-.
Have you ever seen Aaron fectors RUclips channel? He shows lots of videos of him repairing the mechs. He also has a premium subscriber thing where you can get even more animatronic material. The channel is TheRockafire.
Steve, have you tried cutting those camping mats with a hot wire foam cutter?
You probably could use one if you were careful with the fumes but I'm
not sure you could get clean enough seams. To get a good, tight joint
it is important that the cuts be straight and even. I found that I
needed to be careful when using the heat gun when shaping the foam. It
is easy to distort the shape of the edges if you are not careful.
Nice job.
Thank you!
very nice.. thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
If i buy a hallo ween animatronic can I take the costume off and put something a little more different
Absolutely! In fact, a great cost savings idea is to purchase used or broken animatronics from the Halloween stores after the holiday at substantial discounts. You can either repair the animatronic or simply salvage a costume, mask and hands of a character you like. I always take into consideration when building my own animatronics, the possibility that I may repurpose them as a new character in the future.
Hi. Very Good vidéo. I don't find the body blue print you use in the vidéo on the punisher props Web site. Do you have the link to this ? Thanks
Glad you liked it. The patterns come from Evil Ted Smith and can be found on his website at eviltedsmith.com/shop/page/5/ . I have also added the link in the description. Thank you for the comment as I'm sure others will find it useful as well.
Thank you
Do you put a final finish of some type on these or is this always completely hidden by the costumes on top? You indicated these were armor so I assume these are on the outside though?
I don't put a finish on but Ted and Bill both have tutorials on their sites on how to do it and what products to use. For my purposes, just hitting it with the heat gun seals it enough. I will have costumes on mine and my animatronics are all stored inside during inclement weather.
Hi Steve!
Hi! Thanks for checking it out!
animation is all that really happens when we think around.
Build spring bonnie from fnaf

I think they sell a foam yoga mat for a dollar at the dollar store
Good to know. I'll check that out. Thanks!
Love your videos! I'd like to send you a pic of my house. Do you have an email? Im starting to get in to animatronics because thats the only way I can take it to the next level. Only problem is, I don't know much about them or servos or circuit boards. May need some guidance.
I would like to see a picture of your house. It's great to see what others do! Getting into animatronics is a lot of fun but it can be addictive. Feel free to shoot me a pm or leave a comment and I will do my best to help out.
Dont know how to send PM?
@@robertfezekas6632 The best way is to join my Sanctuary of Spooks page on Facebook and send me a message there.
Is it just me or does he kind of look like the McCaney manor Guy
Can you help me design the animatronics of “Dr. Simi” Dancing muppet with your very inexpensive materials ? Check it out in RUclips please. Thanks
A haunters dream thanks check out my props I’m getting better
Will do.
sorry,toooooooo much talking not enough doing.
I know! For such a seemingly simple task, gluing 2 pieces of foam together, there sure is a lot of information to cover.
