- Hi everyone. I have put together a build video for my "Hydrotherapy" prop since I have had a lot of people asking for one. If you have not seen the original prop please check out the video here:

This prop was built for the Haunt Nation "Hacked" prop contest. The contest required the build be done with 8-10 pre-determined items which I list in the beginning of the video.
Because of the nature of the prop and the complexity of the build, this video is more of an outline of the techniques I used and the steps involved in the build, more than a straight forward tutorial.
This should help others who want to build any similar props and I will try my best to answer any questions people may have about the build. I will also release future videos focusing on single techniques used in this build which can be applied to any type of Mad Scientist or Steampunk prop builds people want to do.
Techniques I used in the build:
1. Wood texture to metal and rust build up with Wood Filler Max and Iron B paint.
2. Making a mold and casting faux bolts for props in liquid resin / Easy Flo 60.
3. Adding bubble effects to a prop via an Air Stone.
4. Painting and weathering corrosion on faux copper / bronze parts.
5. Adding lighting to props via Christmas Lights.
6. Making a custom foam carving tool for pool noodles.
7. Making plywood waterproof through the use of liquid plastic.
8. Accenting props by Kit Bashing parts from models.
9. Creating faux metal effects on props using dry brush techniques.
10. Adding Plexiglass and Diffusion filters to enhance your prop lighting.
11. Corpsing plastic eyeballs for props.
12. Using plastic resin to reinforce weak materials in your props.

Amazing.... One of the best haunt prop videos on RUclips. Inspiring. Brings out the Mad scientist in me. Yesss.....
Fantastic job! Loved how you used so many different parts to create this look. Also love the custom foam cutter for your pool noodle.
Thanks guys! I am stalking through some of your old videos seeing how Chris built the pneumatic thrasher guy!
This blows be away - I need to bookmark this video URL as a glossary of 3 dozen or more techniques I should explore! It's kind of a shame so much of that great detail seems obscured in the dark!
+Attic Hatch Thanks!! I'm actually going to be setting up a better spot to film some of my new videos and will have this prop in the background so I can get some additional footage of it in better light! I'll keep you posted!
+MadCity Haunt Look forward to it!
Extremely realistic! I'll give this a try this year!
The name "Hydrotherapy" adds more creepy to it! Great tutorial!
Very cool! I really like the eyeball effect.
Excellent job! Way beyond my patience to complete though but wow!
Super cool
absolutely loving the rust effect you created. looks dope. :)
this is so amazingly aweosm wish i had it for my own mad lab episode last year!!!
That is awesome man. GREAT job!!
+Hans Defective Thanks Hans, I think this is one of my favorite prop builds to date! The odd selection of pieces required made it a fun challenge!
I love this. I do something similar but I love your color schemes and hope you make more videos!?
Where's your theme music from? I love this whole video ..
cool . like your alice cooper music too.
simply amazing...
Thanks!
WOW amazing work!!!!
Thanks!!
very skilled! A+
Very nice tutorial! I kinda got a little motion sickness from the pictures fading in and out. LOL but I will differently use some of your techniques.
Amazing!
Absolutely Killer job! Very detailed! I Love it! How did you control your lighting though? I see where you said it was christmas lights and blacklight and green flashlights but how did you wire those up?
Thanks David, the Christmas lights are a cheap set I found on Amazon that flash in various patterns. They have a control box which you can select the patterns from. The 2 flashlights I am using are battery powered. I did the same thing with another prop for the Mad Lab. The plan is once I have all the props built to remove the battery powered lights and replace them with the 12v LED setups people use to light their yard haunts so I can run all (most) of the prop lighting off of 1 outlet. (The effects will still require power. For example the air pump for this prop.)
New Sub here! LOVED this prop! I wished I had video of my old props I've done in the past. I've been trying to think of a 'center-piece' prop for my Dr's room, I think I've found some inspiration. Thank you for posting!
+Allen Howe Cool Allen, Thanks so much,! Sounds like an awesome themed room!!
Awsome!!!
The switch is hidden from view? All that work with details. Should have been placed better like side.
How much do you want for for one of these- don't have enough talent or time to do 1 myself- willing to pay
What did you use to make the air bubbles?
I like the different musics in the back , what did you use?
Hi Chemspider, here are the two songs used in this video: Music: Professor and the Plant & The Other Side of the Door - Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
how he did the bubbles?
Awesome. I'm going to try and build without killing myself. :)
+Jim Placzkiewicz Hehe Awesome Jim! If you have any questions about my build please let me know and I can try to help you out!
where did you get the top caps to the pvc towers i haven't been able to find anything close to them and anything else looks hodgepodge
+rouimet Hi Rouimet, I actually picked them up at Menards here in Wisconsin. They have quite a good selection of odds and ends for pipe fittings. You might be able to order through their website if you are unable to track down the pieces you need.
👍
how you make the eyes?
You can get all your pipe at homedepot
