Trying to start my halo 4 elite... pls help!

Using elastic material to hold the joints in their natural position and a cable to pull them along a path to close the hand into the fist or pull the jaws open is probably your best bet. The hardest part to that would be keeping scale of the Sangheli body to be able to hide your hand and the pulley mechanism in the arm and a chin based lever and helmet inside the neck/head.

I saw Johnathan Groves posted a claw construction that would work well for this, but it was just a shared link and I can't seem to find it. It was either on Instagram of Facebook.
