Before gluing the hips together, put a mark across the elbow and the T pieces to indicate the lean, that way you just line those back up when you glue and reassemble. Great build! I love that you left in the "mistakes" and helped others learn from them, too!

Thanks for the detailed plans and walkthrough that prompted me to give animatronics a try. I did have to tweak the works a bit. Found that JBWelding the Hurricane Tie to the motor post added a lot more stability than just attachiing it with the bolt. I decided to go with a D&D Lich theme for mine, so I call him The Cauldron King. I posted a video of him in all his glory on my channel.

I have a tip for you. When you set any PVC joints, pipe etc. to where you think it is set for the angle you want etc. Before they are glued, take a sharpie and put a line on every joint and a line on the pipe, That is where the two should meet, then when you take it apart and go back and glue it.... it will be simple to align . I do this in intricate plumbing like for sprinkler systems.

Isaac thank you for an extremely clear easy to follow video. You took your time to explain every step so well. Just a suggestion when ever you need to make sure your pvc pieces line up at the correct angle you can use a magic marker and strike a line over the 2 parts to be glued together. When you take them apart to glue them when you put them back together just line up the marks again. Great video, keep up the good work.

Out of all the videos I've seen making or designing these props, THIS video, is by far, the most informative, easy to follow, well made video I've seen. Thank you kind sir, for a job well done. Just one thing (for other's information) when attaching the rib frame, getting the angle right in those few seconds before the cement hardens, before you put the cement in, determine the angle you want, then with a marker, draw a line on the connector, and then onto the leg, so that when you put the cemented pieces together.....BOOM...all you have to do is line up the line on both pieces. Then the teacher will give you an A+
