Dale (The Yelling Neighbor)
Dale was hard to make! That's a lot of holes to drill and a lot of mini's to plug into coroplast! But the show must go on! All for about a two second showing during the song "Decorations" by Bob Rivers. Hey, it's the details that count! Anyhow, I started with a sheet of coroplast. I had Dale's wife (yes, Dale really is my neighbor and a very good sport!!!) trace him while he was laying on the coroplast. After that you have to mark where to drill the holes (approximately 3/4" to 1") along the trace lines. Drill a 7/32" hole (for most 100 count mini's) and plug in your lights. My "Dale" used five channels of a controller. One for his main body, one for Arms Up, one for Arms Out, one for Mouth Open and one for Mouth Closed.
