When I do those for the Outlands, or any other Arms, I simply print out the picture of the device then enlarge or reduce the picture, or part of the picture, to the size I want/need then cut out the image and use it as a pattern to cut around.  I either cut through a thick piece of marzipan and round down for the muscle/bone/item structure so it isn't just a flat piece of something.  With stuff like the Arms of An Tir that has that cool lion rampant I even use that nifty playdough extruder to make the "hair" of the mane, tail, etc.  
 
Anyway, by using the copy/enlarge method you can use some nice copper or tin flashing to bend around the picture and make your own cutter.
