Title: maybe one of you can help me find a part for my costume
Post by: senritsu on May 09, 2007, 11:05:53 AM
so
i want to make gamma akutabi's sword as realistically as possible
(https://forums.fanime.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi19.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb187%2Fsenritsu%2Fcosplay%2Fmy%2520cosplays%2Fakutabisword.jpg&hash=563bc62c516ff8048dd510464d1b473189075cfa)
to do that i need one of those toy chainsaws with the pull string (cause i want it to make noise too)
does anyone know where to get one?
i checked all the toy stores and all they have are the ones with the buttons no pull string

Why dont you just buy a small motor.  Realistic enough?

Hope that helps?

um... i can make one out of wood for you, with one of those drawstring inside -the-toy things. not too hard, just kinda large...
