Introduction: Mini Flipper Crossbow
Here is the Mini Flipper Crossbow
its not really a how to make as the whole bow assembly is printed on a (UP!)
Step 1: The Bow
its consist of 2 wings and a body.
I added notch to tie the stings on to.
Step 2: Body
I use Ice-Cream sticks to make the body and I stain it with a brown marker then use superglue to "varnish" it.
looks nice enough.
Step 3: Trigger Mechi
i made the trigger out of paper and it's really strong.
Strong enough to hold the tension of the bands
its a simple lock
Step 4: Making the Trigger Mech
I used a 4 layer harden paper, cut out 5 of the pieces and glue them together with superglue. Make sure you hammer the part after applying a layer of paper to compact the layers. After glueing the layers together sand down the parts (cut off excess) and apply a thin coat of super glue to further harden the parts and water proof it.
