Create Articulated hands for your Transformers!

Postby Jin Saotome » Mon Oct 27, 2008 8:42 pm

Head over to my guide http://www.angelfire.com/mech/jinsaotom ... Hands.html and you can create poseable hands using some nifty ball-jointed flexible pipe. Works for Voyager, Ultra, and Leader class!

There's a way to make deluxe class bendable hands but I didn't get the ultra tiny springs/wires I needed in this shipment. A guide on that later tho, but enjoy this one!

Pretty cool.

But most Transformers, or at least mine, ues that 5mm peg system, so how does it hold the weapon? Unless you do a sly L clip hole insid ethe hand or something...
