Cauldron Creep

 

This was one of my more complex props. It involed a 3 axis skeleton and a wiper motor for the stirring of the cauldron.
The stirring of the cauldron is caused by a windshield wiper motor that moves the stirring stick. I wanted to make mine a bit different so I used Bucky Skeleton arms and legs for my Cauldron Creep. Since the body itself was not visible I used a PVC pipe framework and Great Stuff Foam to fillout the body

     
  Once I added the skull and its brains (the three axis skull parts) and the foam for the body I discovered that the head and torso was too top heavy so I had to add a support pole to keep the Cauldron Creep standing upright. The robes do a great job of hiding the support pole
