So I'm trying make Winter Soldier's metal arm. I was thinking about using Amethyst-Angel's Automail tutorial, but the shoulder piece is going to be tricky.

Here's a close up of the shoulder piece I'm talking about.
I want to make the arm as flexible as possible, but I don't want to use a sleeve or paint. I think using styrene and craft foam like the Amethyst tutorial will work best.
Any advice?
Hmmm.... I've been pondering Bucky's arm for a while now myself, but haven't actually done any construction yet. What are you planning on using as a base? Or are you wanting to attach it straight to your skin?

I've got a couple tutorials pulled up, but most use a sleeve then use the styrene/craft foam/or worbla automail over it. I think I've got it figured out, but I just gotta get the shoulder piece done first because that'll be the hardest part.

A friend of mine used a pair of tights and drew the details on with pen. Looks pretty good.
YES. I've been thinking about making one myself!
I think I might be able to help miss!

Maybe this will help? Full tutorial, no foam, no worbla.
Hello, i know you would probably rather make the arm rather than buy it but i saw this on etsy and thought it might be handy. Perhaps you could ask the vendor questions. I hope this helps.

I heatformed mine around a fairly small wig head and it worked pretty well. It's not flexible, but separating the deltoid and the bicep helped with range of motion.
