One thing to keep in mind is that tote and trashcan plastic eventually will try to returm to its original shape. So keep an eye on your plates after you form them. Some say it happens quickly, others say it has never happened to them.

Welcome Vode,
Just so you know if you have parent permission you can apply to the Verd'ika corps which is our kids club for the mercs. The costume guidelines for their gear is less stringent than our main club so if you've got a troopable kit and your parent signs off on it you could well in fact become an official Verd'ika.

Posted in your thread in the BC boards, but I'll hop in here to follow along as well :)

First, here's a link you will find helpful. That'll show ya how to get your pictures to work.

Second, robot arms have been done before, but they're tough to get right. We'd need to see what you've got planned before we could tell ya whether it's passable for the Official CRLs or not, but of course joining the Verd'ika corps will mean pretty much whatever you do will be passable.

Last, I'll toss you a link to the afore mentioned CRLs. Give those a read through for the era you plan on building in (sounds like you're going for Modern) and start building to conform to that. By the time you're 18 you'll have a killer kit to apply with! 8)

Just remember no spring or motorized blades vod. Just push power

flick a da wrist, sorry I had to  :P it all depends on what activates it, if it's a spring that's s no go. Normally people just make push blades where you pull it out and it back in.

Hidden blade esque correct? I've seen people rig that up with a rubber band, I don't know if that's aproveable so an app team member will have to chime in.
