Introduction: Skeleton Horse Halloween Display
A static halloween display made out of PVC pipe, 3/4 trim board and spray foam.
Step 1: Skeleton Horse
After deciding on the size and pose of the horse, I cut all the flat pieces for the pelvis, shoulder blades and backbone out of PVC trim board.
Step 2:
I used various sizes of PVC pipe for all the leg pieces. Each bone was heated with a heat gun in order to bend and Shape them. The legs all have a PVC pipe in the center for stability with larger pipes placed on it. The ribs are PVC pipe cut length wise into four pieces.
Step 3:
The ends of each pipe was filled and shaped with PVC board and spray foam. Then the joins where wrapped with resin casting tape.
Step 4:
I carved the skull and vertebrae out of extruded styrofoam and glued them on a PVC pipe.
Step 5:
Then the whole thing was painted and the legs and ribs where screwed back on for the finished horse.
