Robot arms are super cool! So I wanted to make one for myself! This version is inspired by Anakin's arm from Star Wars and it's completely made out of EVA foam.

Can I order one frome. You?

[@PCLHH]

Great video, thanks so much! Vielen Dank!

[@alfalanceer17015]

is helanca as good as faux leather? does it support glue? what materials can substitute faux leather???

[@UltimateBeingKars]

Used this tutorial to make my metal arm for an Edward Elric cosplay. It worked amazingly! Thank you so much!

[@bkballa989]

Any pictures of this? I was using this as inspiration for Automail too

[@UltimateBeingKars]

@@bkballa989 - I do have a few but sadly it's been a while and I'm not sure where it is. I'll definitely look through my photos though and send some!

[@bkballa989]

@@UltimateBeingKars aw man, please let me know. This would be only my third cosplay, so I’m interested in trying something more difficult like this.

[@UltimateBeingKars]

@@bkballa989 - That's so cool!! I wish you luck! I'll tell you for sure as soon as I can find some photos!

[@Rui-the-spider-boi]

I’m doing it too! It’s deceivingly hard 😅

[@platinumstyle8283]

Yes i needed this!! Gonna be making Eds arm from Fullmetal and didnt know where to start

[@BobLHedd]

I think this is a GREAT project to demonstrate that you only have to craft one piece at a time, if "making a costume" is too intimidating. Thanks for sharing!

[@craftyhuntress4309]

Your videos have inspired me and my fiancé to create our first cosplay costumes! Much love for you and Benni, and your corgis of course! 😊🐕

[@maskedfoxx7173]

People always say that that's the lazy crummy way to make gloves but not once in my life have I ever seen anyone do anything different.

[@kristipearce4819]

Can you do skeleton arms next??? I wanna take my Sans cosplay to the next level!

[@skyty0]

take skin off

[@fauxmarmorer9544]

@@skyty0 instructions unclear, I glued my arms together with six layers of skin, help

[@lemonkid]

U can go to lightning cosplay to find a skull tutorial !

[@elpretender1357]

I'd say you should try to just buy a skeleton halloween costume and then customize it. Seems more time efficient for me

[@alaskacosplay]

I would love to learn how to make skeleton arms for my Corpse Bride cosplay.

[@tylersnead1510]

Currently doing a Vader costume and using this arm. Thank you for great templates and amazing craftsmanship!

This is such a great idea! You definitely make projects less daunting and encourage me to try new things!

[@SuperheroArmorychannel]

I love your robot and sci-fi tech armor projects the most. This one is simple but looks amazing!

[@CherylMuir]

I have so much respect for your skillset. The finished robot arm looks absolutely incredible. ❤️

I said I wasn’t going to cosplay Genos, then I saw this 😂

lol me too

[@hudacrafts3306]

amazing work as usual, loved the comprising between worbla and foam

[@haunting_bluejay]

I’ve just started planning my winter soldier cosplay, I planned on doing something similar to this technique for his arm so it was great seeing it in action!

[@pommedeter7407]

You know what could be really cool ? A tutorial on how to make a dragon-like-claw-arm. I'm sure you could pull it off and do something amazing

[@Brickerbrack]

To be honest, while I'm not sure _exactly_ what you're envisioning, I think a combination of techniques from this and the Decimation Claws ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpC1m2Spqc6Boc0 ) would be bob on...

[@leylamatrix331]

Ohh I'm so excited to see how do you make this ✨

I think these smaller entry level projects are a great idea for the channel...and you probably need a break from 1.5 year-long projects. 😂

Never made a cosplay fit before and I think I’m going to use your pattern and this video to make a robot arm for a Tetsuo (of Akira 1988) fit! After spending hours looking for something I could just buy. This will be much cheaper. Thank you!!

[@obviously_salem]

Corgi Squad always appreciates a good metal arm! :-D

[@somethingalongthoselines842]

A robot arm was the first prop I ever made and it's really a great first thing to create as it's not too complicated yet a quite complete object 👌 I even made mine without using a hot gun 😅

[@EPICBUSHMAN]

AMAZING!!! 🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💖

I was kinda intimidated by making stuff for cosplay, but you made it seem super easy

I’ll eventually make some costumes and I defo will use your tutorials for advice 🙂👍🏻 Also CORGI SQUAD!

[@oilmargarita6436]

This will come quite in handy for my incoming Techpriest cosplay...oh and finally a reliable glue thats available in germany. Have been looking for one for quite some time now.

[@ohnunuart]

whoa this is so cool!!!! seeing your projects is always an inspiration! i was wondering, plasti dip sometimes causes the side of the foam its sprayed on to shrink and pull the edges up (especially with thinner foam pieces), does this happen to you as well? if so, do you know how to fix this or keep it from happening?

[@dragonslyer74]

I love this concept and I do Star Wars core cause play. Was wondering if Would work it was made a type of plastic

[@inquisitorichijou883]

Sounds good having something to start with. It still feels a bit overwhelming with all the work and material involved.

[@sanikam6079]

great idea, for a more realistic look, instead of just black glove, you could glue, or stick some color wires or even color rubberbands

[@pluppkalsson]

Corgi squad!!

[@joshj9770]

Hey Kamui, love your stuff. DO you have a book or video going over, in depth, how to make form fitting leg armor? I'm running into the issue where my leg armor has to be wide enough to accommodate the width of my feet in order for me to wear them. Having a front/back plate doesn't always stay true to the design, and using things like magnets on a seam makes the piece not as flush as if it were glued at the seam. Thanks!

[@maef7026]

Great video! Very cool! It would be so awesome if you ever did a pattern for a Jedi tunic

[@Kel_Omori_official]

I'm cosplaying genos from one punch man and this helped a ton!

[@IH1940HAY]

Enjoy your videos, I’m a woodworker and was wondering how resistant to wear the material is. I’m thinking of custom foaming a dust collection channel on my chop saw to catch more sawdust than the one that came with my saw. Do you think it would stand up to the friction of the saw dust being blown through the tubular formed chute? Thanks.

[@AoiArtx]

TYSMM!! I WANNA COSPLAY MY OC FOR FUN AND SHE HAS A ROBOTIC ARM THIS IS GONNA BE HELPFUL!!!
