Hackle has been built. Going to try blending some hair this weekend, any advice? Ratios of colors, how much at a time?

We blended quite a bit of hair yesterday (pics coming soon) and no one cut themselves.............yet. So, definitely a win and saved myself $70 instead of buying one.

Can someone recommend a good build thread showing how to do the sounds? Where to mount speaker, etc.

The amp/speaker that I have came with a strap that I wear around my neck, placing the speaker on my chest.

Hey Norman!
Thanks for posting. I have an Aker amp that I have used for other costumes. I guess my follow up would be about how to match sounds to mouth movements and where to get the sound files.

You are more than welcome! My amp is also an Aker, and matching sounds and mouth/head movements comes with practice. I purchased a sound glove from Etsy that came with the sound files. Hope this helps! MTFBWY

I have a sound pad from The Blockade Runner Supply that is rather nice, 5 custom sounds on it, and then two buttons that will cycle through an addt'l 4 or 5 including the classic musical numbers you associate with Star Wars. I don't use those two buttons that often though.

If you're even remotely handy, that sound glove that you linked off of Etsy can be made for quite cheap on your own since you already have the Aker. A local Garrison Tyranus member has a great tutorial here if you want to give it a shot.

Great, I will check it out. I have dabbled in some electrical stuff so might give it a shot. Thanks!

I went ahead and ordered the sound glove since he was having a special for St. Pattys day. Saved $20

So lots of progress in the last couple weeks.

Love this, can't wait to put it on over the completed top. Went with 9 large and 8 small boxes per the costuming guide.

Added 6 layers of foam to add a few more inches.
