Cracking work lad, cant wait to see the arm finished but you do know once its made you have to make it animatronic then

Here's the exact linkage used. I found them about 10 years ago:

Dubro Products Rod Ends 4-40, Steel Solder DUB-303

Thanks, bro. There really should be a shop-cam.

That's pretty remarkable work Rylo! The engineering fights sound even more intriguing! LOL!

Yeah, the clevices are out there, but the problem is finding the correct shaft. It's possible the original propmakers slighlty altered the piston body with indents, etc. Either way, tracking down the entire 'correct' portion has proven a chore. There's a lot of stuff that's really close, but not quite what I need. It's really easier to machine them at this point.

Thanks, bro!

Quote: Hey Rylo, those pistons originally were some kind of model airplane linkages. You may not have to machine them entirely, you might be able to get them off the shelf.

Awesome work man.Can you post a picture of the finger supports as they are right after machining.Been having problems with the curves down at the base plate.I'm machining the finger supports as a whole and will imbed it in the base plate.

As real as it gets! Fabulous work!

 

[Rylo]

Thank guys. New progress pics in the first post. I plan to post more on this as time permits, but I'm just slammed.

Hell, I spent a month just tracking down the correct cables. This thing is a beast!

I'll be updating our private collectors group later this week by PM

Hit me if you have any specific questions.
