Hand tutorial, building hands from scratch
Hi guys
heres a hand tutorial for you all, (mods, please feel free to move where it needs to be)
just to show hands can be built from nearly anything, heres a handy( get it) way to build hands for all your customs, they can be built bigger, in the same way, i dont think i could go any smaller.
1. to start i used a piece of treasel wood, cost £1,which is soft to cut, and scoring the wood into strips using a stanley knife.
2. Then i sanded and cut into smaller sections, these will form finger tips and the middles part of the fingers, 4 for the tips, 4 for the middle section and 1 tip which is slightly smaller and a slightly smaller middle section too.
3. then using a dremel i gently sanded each finger to shape the parts, and with the edge of the dremel blade i made a slot on the finger tips, this will allow the middle sections to slot in. holes were then drilled.
4. to join the fingers i used a nail, simply cut down, to stop the nail from coming out, i mixed up a bit of epoxy.
5. The palm of the hand had slots made and drilled from the side, same principle, a nail was pushed through, ro hold the fingers on, the thumb area, was made different for both hands, so a pose can be different, again a slot was made for the thumb, and a small hole drilled and a nail dropped in and epoxyed to hold the thumb in place,
6.Once complete, i simply used car filler to tidy up the hand, and a piece of styrene was added to finish them of,
heres the pics guys, theres a shot with leader class prime hands for comparison, the back of the hands have been left, these can be drilled gently to fix in a ball joint etc, anyway hope this helps you all out.
all the best
