Heart of Davy Jones

[allosaur176]

Hey Guys

Well, being the Chest should be shipping soon, I just thought I'd show of this... I needed something to occupy the chest, so I decided to try and make this..I completed about a month ago.. It is a animatronic beating heart that I customized with barnacles and such, touched up with some painting, and wallah!!!

I feel for you my friend when Davey Jones shows up at your house tonight.

Very cool! Can't wait to see the chest ... now all you need is one of Howard's Jack Sparrow busts from Neca.

Cool - so it actually beats...?

It sure does... Its one of those beating halloween props, but it came with the wire and control box on the outside, so I was wondering how to shove the control box inside of it, so I slit the back open and there was just enough room inside to do so..

 

[Kadajiroth]

Nice! Do you have a video of it beating?

 

[allosaur176]

Cool - so it actually beats...?

not yet, was planning on making one when the chest arrives

That sounds incredibly cool. May I ask where you purchased the heart?

 

[allosaur176]

I don't remember the exact site, but do a search for halloween beating heart props and you'll find it

thats AWESOME! how'd you make the barnacles?

 

[Capn_Jack_Savvy]

Well they say the heart of Davy Jones is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now ole Davy Jones may be barely breathing
But the heart of Davy Jones is still beating!

<Shamefully apologizes but I couldn't resist!>

So how did you make the veins 3D? Did you use latex? I am planning on upgrading mine with some latex muscle and tissue around the aorta but just need more time!!!!!

Excellent job mate! But one question! Are you sure that is Davy's and not Will's? Just checking! And is it now called Will Turner's Locker?:lol

 

[allosaur176]

thats AWESOME! how'd you make the barnacles?

I used craft store small wooden beads and tiny shells... I glued them in place, then covered them with a couple of layers of latex.. painted em up, and thats it



The veins were 3d to start, I just added some paint to make them look popped out more

I also used some Goop glue to build up the tendons more

Well it puts mine to shame BUT it inspires me to new heights!

Excellent job mate!

My sorry Davy Jones heart....but stand by!!!

Those look like the barnacles that are on the "Pirates Dice" cups

I thought about doing that, but realized they were too big

mine are nowhere near perfect, but I am satisfied with the results.. I had my doubts going into it , but I figured, what the hell???
