Description This is Edward Elric's Automail arm from Full metal alchemist. It took approx 33 hours to complete. It is made from polystyrene, vinyl and sheet metal. It is light weight, very flexible and durable. It straps to the body with clear vinyl straps so it looks like it is actualy attached to the arm.

I do custom jobs and take comissions. For more info visit my site:

Hi I understand being broke thats for sure. Let me crunch some numbers and look to see if I have any left over supplies in my studio I could use to cut costs. I can promise how low I can get it but I will do my best to come to around $150? I will get back to you soon

Thank you so much I do feel really bad for I cannot pay now anymore than $70 according to my parents. =n= and I feel really super bad that I can't pay you properly if it isn't any trouble you can still make it & settle for the $70 but that's about it. I'm really sorry & if I had the money I would give you all of everything I own just for this cosplay piece. I'm forever in debted to you if you still do it for me & maybe as a consolation I can give you all the points I've acquired in my dA & a drawing on top of the money?

That looks great! Is it possible that you could do a comission for me?

Destinyknights In reply to jascak9 [2011-12-04 17:49:05 +0000 UTC]

Hi there I do take comissions for the automail but it runs a bit expensive. I charge $300. Before you explode, let me explain, the cost of materials alone is $100 and its completely customed to your size so it takes about 60 hours to complete. It comes to roughly $3 a hour O_O But I do it for love lol. Let me know how you feel Also you would be responsible for the shipping, of course.

Thank you! I understand the price and the love put into it, so I think the price is fair. It's still early for me, so I will contact you again if I do decide to use you. Thank you again!

I've been considering designing my own automail. Hnm... this gives me ideas, man.

And I bet you would have liked someone to tell you there was such thing as a "cold" hot-glue gun, right? XD They exist, but are out of your reach, just out of spite.

Destinyknights In reply to bountyhunter777 [2009-06-13 19:22:50 +0000 UTC]

I can send you detailed instructions if you like but customizing it is goin to take some fooling around with. Ultimately the only change you will have to take between my instructions and your custom ones are to change the base pattern.

In order to do this you will have to try and figure out what the shape of your design wi8ll look like if it is flat then use scrap paper to cut out the design and fit it onto your model or yourself and keep working with it until it looks right.

Once you get a usuable pattern you can begin construction.

If you give me your email adress I will send my instructions.

If you get stuck or need help, I am more than happy to assist you.

Hey there!

You're doing fine on the site, don't worry. You'll get used to it.

So you want to comission an automail? I would be more than happy to make one for you but I have to warn you that is is expensive. It costs me $80 just in supplies and over 40 hours of time to make it.


For the full arm in 4 sections I charge $200 plush shiping.

For just the hand I charge $75 plush shipping.

If that is alright with you, I would love to work for you

XOX

Destinyknights In reply to alexis425firingeagle [2008-04-08 16:01:20 +0000 UTC]

How to make the Automail eh? Its quite complicated really and supplies are a little expensive... I can tell you that you can get the supplies on Ebay. You need a roll of silver adhesive sign vinyl, and Styrene which is the thin plastic used to make model cars. Use the styrene size .10 and .20. You will also need alot of hot glue, paper fasteners or studs and craft foam. If you email me I can send you the instructions I used and they helped a ton but ITS A HUFE TEXT FILE AND I dont think i can send it through here. If you want also- I custom make them nd could just amke you one.
