Hey, guys. I'm a very amateur prop maker, having (so far) only made my own bots for fanfilms (one, Agua, can been seen in my sig and avatar). I had a couple of questions regarding some of my prop building and was wondering if anyone could help me out.
First off, I guess I'll mention Agua. I tried doing a shadowrama test earlier and, unfortunately, his head was completely see-through. I thought there would be an outline at least. In the second test, not wanting to ruin his only head, I just put a black toboggan/beanie hat over his head, then placed his glasses and fedora over it. Crude, but it worked.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a cheap mini-watercooler like the one I use for him. I really just need the bottle, but a spare body seems like a good investment too. I picked mine up at a Dave and Busters for about 400 tickets, but after being told I could not store Mountain Dew in him (being 13 at the time), he was stored in my basement and I had no use for him since. Then, after re-discovering MST3K and deciding to do a fanfilm, I retrieved him, stuck a hat and glasses on him, and made him my puppet.
My second and final (so far) question is simple: would a plastic whiffle-ball with a used tape roll on it work for a mini-Cambot? If so, what could I use to plug up the holes efficiently?
Well, three questions. Whatever.
Anyway, some help would be greatly appreciated. {8^)
