Dougie Head 2

	Here's the Dougie part and the $2 Styrofoam wig head that will serve as a form or base for the Dougie part.
	I've marked the section of the foam head I'm going to remove with a hot wire foam cutter. You can use a knife or hacksaw blade if you do not have a foam cutter. You can also remove the part between the two marked areas. Just a simple cut from the top of the head down.

	This Size "M" connector (Radio Shack part # 274-1577) can be attached to the wires from the hacked Dougie which will allow for easy plug in to the neck on the Santa.
I've used electrical tape to attach the Dougie to the foam wig head. The head allows for a good fit of a mask that will cover the head and mouth and eyes. Find a good mask with a moveable jab. (see bottom picture) The 4 remaining wires (2 from each motor) will be twisted together to form two wires that attach to the Santa plug on the neck. Details on the correct wiring will be shown on that page when added and a link placed here. (Just test the wires by holding them one stuck down into the hold on the connection, the other held against the outside with your finger. This will insure you get the wiring right. The Dougie will only work wired one way.)	This picture shows the bottom of the foam wig head with the connector attached and ready to plug into the Santa neck. I've cut a small groove into the foam to allow the for the wires.
Here you see the neck with the connector plugged in. To the right you see the Dougie hacked head just setting on the neck. Last year I used a hot glue gun to hold the neck on. This year I'm using a connector type attachment, shown on the next page (link below). Below you see the Dougie Hacked head with a mask.
