Solaire Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Hi, Since a lot of people are interested, I'm going to show you my process to create articulation in this classic lego piece. DISCLAIMER: do this at your own risk. What you will need ... - 1x sword-arm piece (duh) - 1x exo-force robot arm - 1x flextube (or cut rode) 1/4 of a black pin length - a pair of model kit nippers - instant glue - sanding tool The process Cut the forearm from the round part layers by layers. Take your time as it is not easy. Clean the excess and sand it away. Note that the two spikes are on the back of the arm. Cut the center axle then glue the flextube in the center. Note that the 90° angle inside the forearm will be essential. You need a 90° angle. Test the length to be sure to have the maximum articulation possible. Glue the two pieces (be sure to centre the exo-force arm). And you're done! Enjoy ! Edited August 24, 2021 by Solaire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disciple Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Very cool. You must be the only one in the world with Mata arms that bend like in the comics. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
