Ghoulson is a scarecrow built for the Huntsville Ghost Walk to compete in the Huntsville Botanical Garden’s “Scarecrow Trail.” His eyelids blink by the way of a Pololu Micro Maestro servo controller paired with a high torque servo motor.  His eyes also glow a ghastly blue when not in direct sunlight.

This year I was invited to MidSouthCon 28 as a panelist for their Science & Technology track.  I took the opportunity to unveil one of my latest secret projects.  My  radio controlled airship appeared to win the hearts of young and old alike, as it buzzed around the ceilings of the convention.  After obtaining flight clearance from convention security,  my only obstacles were air conditioning vents and the occasional tall con-goer.  I’ll update soon with more detailed pictures and technical information on my design.

Dusky

I made Dusky the fruit bat as a Christmas present for my girlfriend Leslie.  Though technically not a puppet, I still wanted to include him as I infrequently make stuffed animals. Dusky’s wingspan is just over four feet, and his construction is brown & black synthetic fur, fiberfill & lavender eyes.
