Post subject:  i need a hand... literally

today i started clearing my spot to set up spooky house. i wanted to get some shots of my new michael myers with my 1st one. i plan on chopping my 1st ones head off to make a scared up one. this figure has been one bad problem after another.

yesterday the new one was 100% done when i sprayed matte clear on it, and it frosted. it was a brand new can of krylon so maybe it wasn't mixed or something. anyway i did some blue washes and resealed it with my old almost gone can of rustoleum matte clear. looked even better.

ok earlier i was taking pics of new MM and his right hand was a bit loose on the smallest knife i made. so i grabbed a lighter to "soften" it. i made sure not to get too...poof it caught fire. it melted all his fingers. i think the clear spray is why it lit up.

i don't have another hand the right size. it is a 50th outback right hand. i pulled a set of marauder suited figure hands and they are a tad small. nothing loose in my hand box is big enough. i have marvel hyperion hands with my motu stuff, but they are a bit big. i carved on some corpse arms and got the hands, but they just look bad.

i almost ordered marauder hands before i checked the suited figures. are their loose hands the same size? they look bigger on their site.

what about boss fight? are any of their hands big enough? i have had hacks hands in blk and green and both were small.

are there any other places to buy just hands?

anyone have a suggestion for a replacement that isn't so pricey?

are these any bigger or do they just look bigger? i know they are vertical instead of horizontal so maybe that's why?

hands hands hands....

i pulled out my phantom custom and i think he has zombie lab hands. they look a lot like marauder hands. swapping in the green bf, mgr suite, and some others nothing is looking good. i just put in an order from VA for the light skin tone alex and flash gordon.

50th Outback uses the Retaliation Roadblock body. The pegs on those hands run big. Boss Fight's won't work without mods and the poss on Marauder's will make them wobble.

my custom is using the gray suite/coat destro lower arms that i already drilled out larger holes. if i have to take hands in and out a lot for paint i usually drill bigger holes then tighten them up with layers of heat shrink. i will report back with how they size when they get here.

my package has been at the wrong post office since friday :( it is a place even smaller than my town (i live 30m out of town) so who knows when/if they catch it. i notice their zip is one # off from mine , 4 instead of 9, so it must of been a typo.
