Thank you dahhling! The automail took ages and ages and far too much blood, sweat, and tears, so it might be wise for your friend to just go as the coat version or just make the hand.
If you still want to go through with this, it is constructed from craft foam coated in silver vinyl, using a thin coating of "fabritac" fabric glue to attach them. I cut the craft foam into the correct shapes and spread the fabritac with a popsicle stick onto it, laying the vinyl on top. It has to dry under something heavy, or it will get bubbles. Then, I took it out and cut notches into the edges of the vinyl and wrapped it around the back of the craft foam, using either fabritac or hot glue to keep it in place so that the foam would not show. After constructing all of the pieces I attached snaps to function as the rivets and glued a black shirt sleeve inside of the top piece. The hand goes on over a black glove.
Sorry for the novel, hope this helps! And thanks for the review.
