Automail Video 01

[AthenaWolf97]

@lucasdaudt22 have you got any pics or anythin like that? I'm thinkin of making a steel automail model but can't find any steel ones to work from :)

[lucasdaudt22]

I made one out of steel and instead of an attachable blade, its retractable under a thin layer of metal. It looks just like the original but weighs 25 pounds! lol... I wear it all the time and no one fucks with me hahaha

Question: Did you just use styrene and silver Vinyl for the fingers with just Hot glue and regular glue? Did you use anything else for the whole thing?

[00Ventus00]

I checked out you're link, and i was sooo woawed (:O You're awsome!! >w< Thanks for taking so much of you're time to help people like me make an automail arm... Once again: You're awsome!! Thank you, thank you... :3

[gadzy]

The pattern-link has died. Any help? ._.

[hento103]

ugh! idk were to get styrene!!!!

[BadJuuJuu]

Do you just use regular white glue to attach the vinyl to the styrene? Then you use hot glue to hold down the tabs, right? Planning to make this really soon, and I don't want my automail to be falling apart! Thank you very much for posting this!!!

[stuka1991]

cute cuts

is this a new way to test knifes and razors?

[Tonxie]

Did you even watch the video? She specifically said it was paint.

[stuka1991]

@Tonxie sorry, i wasnt mocking at all, by the way, i didnt watch the whole video, i cant stand to see cuts like this [ even if them are fake - but very realistic]

[lehnert2]

Knives... what's the matter, plural nouns still giving you trouble? In case you were wondering, you call more than one duck "ducks". Take your time learning this...

[stealthret]

what are the things u need to do this project

[ABheartsNJ]

i dont uderstand what part of th auto-mail are u making??

[OutOfEyeLiner]

fingers

[iliuzija123]

that is fucking awesome ^^

[haganeNOmozzekun]

how long does this take? I'm playing Ed at animecon next month, and I feel like I'm in a hurry..

[LawietStandard]

If you read her old guide, I'd set aside a week to do all this.

[haganeNOmozzekun]

um, okay. I'm going traveling very soon, and I need to be sure that I can make it in time

[kerorodaishoutai]

wat is the silver stuff? is it foil?

[LakaraValentine]

i have read through your tutorial many times and have it bookmarked for when i have time (and patience) and was just wondering how much it generally costs to build something like this? i did manage to find something similar on ebay, but i feel like it would be more fun to just make it myself XD

[theproplady]

The materials cost about 50 dollars if you want to make it yourself. (I have a materials list posted in my tutorial.) I 'm thinking of buying styrene from my supplier and offering it to the public the next time I pick some up to make it easier for people to find...

[LakaraValentine]

ok, awesome! thanks a bunch! that's definitely cheaper than ebay XP

i might actually get to build it this summer like i had planned ^_^

i'm guessing it would cost about the same to build Vincent's claw?

[theproplady]

Oh I think it would be much cheaper (depending on where you buy your styrene. ) It involves much less material than the automail anyway...

[falconsguild]

You should think about making props for people.

I would totally pay you for this!

XD

[MeganXhilaration]

:3 I'm in the process of cutting out my pattern along with styrene right now ^_^

Thanks for this awesome tutorial/walkthrough :D, I especially love how you've written out more detailed imformation about the fingerplates back on your website.

ThankyouTHANKYOUU <3

:D I think that in the end, I'm going to texturize my pieces using some fabric paint, and seal it off after : D

[RyokoUeda]

Can you also make this without vinyl, and just use paint? (Just wondering...)

[devilsteven27]

I have some question at asked you . sorry I'm french and I do not understand too much English . I would like to know which materials use you ?

thank you

[Oombalah]

How do you make the fingerpieces? Like what you made it from and the shape of it.

[Kiltedwolf]

She has patterns for download. Google "auto-mail" and it comes up near the top.

[Teaandcakescosplay]

Can I ask what material did you use to make the templete for the finger pieces? I'm wanting to make some automail for a convention and these videos really help ^--^ thankyou!

[demonstra]

when using a hot glue gun don't do like i've done and touch the glue if it isn't coll enough to touch.....i burnt myself.

[desktopgal]

It really hurts!

[NekoKaida]

I DID THAT AT SCHOOL D: it hurt~

[jk07sr09]

around how much did this cost you. i might make one

[fullmetal10310]

hey im making one of these and this really helps ..but i would like to know ALL the materials youused please thanks!

[FadingNight]

yes, I was wondering... Actually, this comment started as "did you cut yourself in the first take of this?"
