| Registered Member #2957 Joined: Wed Jun 13 2012, 05:43amPosts: 964 | I need your input here people. The picture below is the incomplete right arm so I have a question, should I make the elbow from nylon and make it an attachment on the upper arm or go with the material in the picture? Keep in mind the material in the picture will likely wear out much sooner than a nylon elbow. Now based on my last project that took me two years I've only used it four times and once I build something and get the bugs out of it I lose interest. I think the nylon will function better and longer but the metal finished parts will have a classier look. What do you think? | ||

The only powered part of both arms will be at the shoulders. The left arm will be static from the shoulder to the hand except for the shoulder it's job is to be the fulcrum of the oar and to raise and lower the oar. The right arm will be powered to move the oar fore and aft and to allow the oar to float up or down depending on the movement of the left arm. I agree with both of you about the nylon, that would be a more workable option I think. The arms of the cloak will cover the mechanics, plus I intend to put putty or something of that nature to help with his physical shape. I was going to make a sleeve of a sort to slide onto the upper arm then use the tube with a drilled flattened end to insert the skeleton forearm into. | ||
