Automail tutorialby ~Vomle

Artisan Crafts / Other

Awkai, someone asked me how I made my automail and since I have no life *sob* I made a tutorial!!
I know it sucks, but I didn't take any WIP pictures of it(or well.. One, but it's to dark to see^^") and I know this thing sucks.. But oh well, you either use it or not

I used Ametyst Angels tutorial and added a few things myself. The pattern she has made is suberb, the best ever but you DO need to costumize it yourself or it will never fit!! Everything one need to make an automail is on that page, but here's the list of what I used:
- Hot glue(pistol, like a boss!)
- wonderflex
- an oven<_<
- Mum, dad, my sister(it burned me, OKAY!?) = They can actually help you:>
- some black fabrics
- a lot of screws(I used two different sizes)
- a pen(yes, a pen)
- black rubberband
- silver spray(I recommend naow black spray first and then silver on top to give it a more "used" look.. )
- water.. A LOT OF COLD WATER IF USING WONDERFLEX!!

As I've written in the description, I used the wonderflex wrong.. You ARE supposed to heat it(but please, not in an oven). This was my second home made cosplay(and first prop ever) so I did a lot of things.. Weird and wrong

If using wonderflex, try to heat it slowly with a hair dryer, or if you want to, in the oven. Not more than ten seconds at 50* degrees celsius(122 Fahrenheit) and have something between your arm and the wonderflex when putting down on arm to shape. If you are stupid enough to do it my way(having nothing inbetween) and having the oven set at 70* degrees celsius, please, have water nearby or you'll burn yourself like hell.
IT HURTS LIKE HEELL!!
Have a jumper on or something:>

EDIT: If you look at the first picture, the three shoulder plates are NOT GLUED together!! I used small dots of velcro(according to google translate that is the correct english word<_<)!!!

Eeehmm... *Thinking I've put down everything?*
If there's something I've missed out or there's something you wonder on, please tell me

I used about a meter, somewhere alongside that..

Amazing. I'm planning on making automail for myself since i'll be cosplaying as Ed at the next convention. Was it difficult making the automail?

~Vomle Sep 5, 2011 Student Artisan Crafter

It was kinda difficult, since it was the first time I made a prop sooo... But if you stick to the tutorial, it won't be thaaaat difficult.. I suppose<_<
If you run into any problems and need help, let me know and I'll see if I can be of any help^^,

And thanks!

A complete tutorial on making automail?......I LOVE YOU!!

~Vomle Aug 29, 2011 Student Artisan Crafter

Oh, thank you!!

It's not that good though, I had kinda.. Ruined my automail(again) when deciding to make the tutorial, so I had to use old photos and I didn't have any WIP photos of it... Unfortunately..

But thank you, nonetheless

~littlemisscinderella Aug 31, 2011 Hobbyist Artist

Hahaha that's acutally kinda funny! And I'm actually a Winry cosplayer so I SHOULD scold you for breaking your automail...but the tutorial is so epic that I'll spare you from my ranting XDDD

Aaahh.... Winryyy.. Please don't hit me with that screwdriver<_<"

But thanks
