Jay and I have been wanting to build a LEGO inspired spooky Halloween prop for years. We both grew up building LEGO and our kids are both obsessed. Since we started learning how to build our own DIY animatronics, we decided that an animatronic LEGO minifig would be awesome, and the Zeke the Zombie mini figure from the Scooby Doo set would be the perfect inspiration. To bring our LEGO zombie to life, we first made a cardboard prototype and used that to figure out how to make him animated and our servo placement. Then we modified a 3D model by (x) and 3D printed out all the pieces. Next we sculpted on top of our base minifigure with Apoxy sculpt to give him a creepy realistic texture and glued fabric on to make his clothes. Finally we painted him and programmed his animation using Bottango (https://www.bottango.com/). For the ultimate test, we brought our animatronic minifigure to our son’s LEGO summer camp at ESTEAM Academy to see what the kids thought of it. They all LOVED it! Zeke the zombie is going to make an awesome addition to our DIY Halloween decorations. Let us know which characters or Halloween props you want us to build next! Stay Wicked! #LEGO #Animatronics #DIY
