    I have a few unique skelly setups as part of this years display. First up is the heart of my display. Autism themed skellys in honor of my son and to raise autism awareness and acceptance. One puzzle peice and one gold. The puzzle piece skelly took over 200 hours to complete. I’ll be adding 2 more pics.

    If the autism themed skellys weren’t unique enough. These may just do it. The 96-98 Chicago Bulls starting lineup. Along with the 1992 “Scream” Team

    Lastly, this is inferno as a part of our Children of the Corn setup.

    I present you, the one, and only ~13 ft tall hissing SKELIEN.  

    • The craneum is now 5 Ft long, not counting the extended toungue
    • The craneum is mostly Sika foam
    • The tongue can be manually extended or contracted, which will be servo controlled in the future

     

    • Skelly's face (glow in the dark now) can be observed through the acrylic facedome
    • Passerby's triggger a hidden screambox on the pelvis   
    • The frame is supported via a skywire which takes about 20% of the load and prevents tipping
    • During halloween 2024, and glow-in-the-dark facehugger animatronic was set to jump from between it's feet, scaring trick or treaters attempting to take candy from a bucket nearby

    • Skelien has been lined up along an assortment of HD giant ornaments
    • By popular demand, Skelien remained up through the end of the year…
    • … with a Santa Hat, a Gigantic ‘turkey leg’ and a ribcage on it's other hand
    • Pick me !
