The web series “DIY Prop Shop” took on Samus’ Arm Cannon in its latest video. While the version won’t shoot beams of energy at your foes, it does add a finishing touch to your Metroid costume. Host Vinny Logozio breaks down how to make the item using PVC pipe, foam, and a wooden dowel. The actual light requires a bit of tech savvy and a soldering iron.
The DIY Prop Shop series has more videos detailing how to make props from Fallout 4, Game of Thrones, Mad Max, Portal and more.
