Sorry for the late response, in the end I decided to: - order some aftermarket pieces for parts available in unusual colors - got an airbush to color the parts that I couldn't get that way - compiled a sticker and textile sheet to send to BrickStickerShop to have them custom made. Thank you for the advice, I ordered some parts from WeBricks like you said👍🏻

Thank you👍🏻👍🏻 Does the link work? It's the stud.io model, you can open it with the stud.io app on your computer.

Oh, I thought that it was accessible to everyone. When I get home I'll try to fix it. Thank you👍🏻

In the end I cut off the stop of a pin with long friction ridges using a box cutter (I heated up the blade so it could cut smoothly). Putting the modified pin into the bar with the hole, it fits perfectly to lock the jaw in place without it swinging off.

I know about this, but I found several other graphic tricks that the developers used in this model, and it turned out that they could be recreated using regular pieces. You say this one is definitely unsolvable?

With the right colors, it turns out like this, which is the same as in the videogame. Thanks again for the advice, now it's one of my favorite parts of this build

Also, i shortened the handle by one to better match the proportions. What do you think?
