Pneumatic Muscle Project

I am building a mechanical arm to replicate the human arm and need to figure out how to control the pneumatic muscles. I want a hand actuated valve that works so that when two muscles are connected to the valve, they operate as an antagonistic pair (think biceps and triceps). I think that a three way toggle or rotary valve will do this but I am not sure. Here is a link to the type of muscle I will be creating: http://www.instructables.com/id/Pneumatic-Muscles/

Any suggestions about what valve would work and where it could be purchased would great, thanks
