Working Wrist Blades

[Feline hunter]

Hi I'm abit strapped for cash, and can't pay to have wrist blades commissioned so I was wondering if people could send me a list of materials, where to find them, and some pictures telling the steps on how to make them. Also what paints to use cause I wanna have some ready for a convention thats about a few months away.

How do you want them to work full retract and extension ie using motors or just extension and have to manually retract them the second one some balsa wood and elastic band and a slide rail would do you. Most you can find at a hardware or hobbie shop the gauntlets them selves you make out of anything from a shoe box to a pro goes can look at the tutorials there is alot of help there.

Meant to say pringles can not pro goes damn auto correct

I'd prefer extension andmanuel retract

I did, but couldn't find one that gave me the right info

Here's the way I did it, using an old CD-ROM drive mechanism.

The only real problem with my approach is that you need a 12 volt power supply to do this, so you could probably wire a 9-volt and two AA batteries in series, or something like that.

Hey Elkman, Just a thought.. Would something like a 12v camera battery work?

Something like this...
