Ok I think this is ready for printing in regards to others trying it out. I need to do a proper tutorial on how to assemble it, but for the most part its pretty straight forward.
- Clip the sprued sections
- Paint (I spray painted mine before clipping them into separate pieces... Made it much easier.)
- Clip and clean remaining sprues
- Assemble
- Place first finger joints into ball socket of knuckle
- Drop glue into holes in the knuckle. (I did two more in the main palm.)
- Hold in place for length of time glue takes to set.. (Mine takes 30 seconds)
- Let dry and make sure ball sockets did not get glue in there... (You can spray paint this again after doing this also... Sockets will get tighter which is also a plus...)
- Finally assemble and join fingers into chains...
- Thumbs need to make sure you place correct side (They ARE Different...)
Remaining pieces should be pretty obvious...
Definitely enough steps to require a video or at least pictures depicting what to do...
Heres some finishing results... This round was for Menasor...
AS you can see the 5mm port I added does not work to well for the sword.. However if you spray paint and tighten the finger joints with a number of solutions the sword can be held by the fingers alone.
