FAQ Gun Blade FFXIII

This is really helpful! I made a gunblade 2 years ago, one that doesn 't transform (given it was my first prop) and now I want to remake it to have it transform. But since my ability to figure out the mechanics of this is limited, is there any possible way to may, possible, kindly ask you for a template of the parts from the handle to the blade? I can figure out the scaling, that wouldn't be a problem, but I can't figure out for to keep them all together and working. If not a template, maybe you could tell me what you used to make the parts move (screws? dowels? something else?). Pretty please with a cherry on top
