The designs I found aren't exactly *spring loaded* but it uses a clock spring. But I'm sure your way will work just as well (do you mean grav/inirtia? I would recomend something that doesn't pop out when you don't want it too *scoff* clock spring *scoff*
Thanks to a tutorial on youtube, check my clip to go to his channel!! I had to modify it a wee bit though, as the rail wasn' t the same, and I used a pvc blade that still has to be sanded and painted and bladiebla. This is just the bare skeleton, so it needs a hull of some sort, that can be decorated.
No sorry, I donnot have the gauntlet ready yet. I' ll be working on that the follow 2 weeks or something. Once the gauntlet is finished I' ll put a clip on youtube or something!!
Just the base gaunt. The detailed armor pieces have to go over these parts.
Also, the blade can be extended further, but I donnot have put on the definitive string or the ring that should go on it.
I have to admit, that in terms of costuming it's not something I've never done before. But life is extraordinarily busy at his point and it's gonna get way much busier in the upcoming year. So it's nice to work on something that is... fun to do. Even though it's not ground-breaking or anything. It has loads of pockets, leather works, weapons and it leaves room for some nice action poses for pics... Sounds fun to me
