DC Prop Builders Handbook (Volume 2)
The newest addition to the Prop Builders Handbooks features 150 pages of extremely descriptive instructions to create another 10 of our unique designs. These designs include the following:
• Heavy Duty Lifter
• Pneumatic Extender (scissor lift/extender)
• Drop Panels
• Un-Dead Coffin (and erector mechanism)
• Thrashing Corpse
• Thrashing Doors
• The Mourner
• Lightning Window
• Air Cannons
• & Pneumatic Web ShooterThe second edition has been in the makings for the past year and a half, so no expense has been spared in detailing every step, as well as the addition of a multitude of diagrams for every drilling pattern and questionable construction step. The second book also has far more pictures added (average of 2 per page) with much higher resolution prints. So the building process is quite a bit easier to follow and much more through then the first.
The book also has an in depth introduction to computer control and pneumatics, so not only will you have the instructions to build the prop, but the knowledge of its internal workings and means of control.
