Ok im sick of seeing both my Starscreams with no hands. Has any one found a solution? Maybe an easy kitbash or cheap homemade solution. Right now im using some extra gundam model hands but they just seem to small. If anyone has a solution please share.

Doc Oc'stentacle hands have been used before in some other kitbashes. I wish I had the talent to make them fit.

I saw some nice ones made out of Spider Man 3 Doctor Octopus tentacle claws.

finnaly a use for Spider man 3 toys!

I think the one you're talking about is Jin's page. he had to cut the missle parts for the claws to fit, otherwise SS's new "hands" would be at his feet...

There is no way to simply remove the missile launchers, is there?

Im gonna have to go to KB and TRU and see if they have some spiderman crap on sale. But out of bordem i made Screamer some doc oc like claws out of tiestraps(the ones found with garbage bags) and aluminum foil. They dont look bad but they dont look great either. But its a temporary fix at least. I just wish i had a better gundam hand. the one im using for my one screamer fits but the fist is to small.

EDIT: Just found a good solution. The hands from the G1 re-issue of Inferno or Grapple work. I dont know why i thought about this at 3am but i remembered i had some parts left over from when i fixed up my G2 Inferno that werent being used. One of which was an extra hand. Its a little hard to get in but it does fit. Doesnt look as fancy as the doc oc ones but it'll do.

Are you just pushing the Inferno hand pegs into the pre-existing missle launcher holes on Starscream? With there being 3 holes, I wasn't sure how you were doing it. Can you post pics? I might want to do something similar with my own SS if it looks ok.

maybe if you take the missiles and some how combine them at the ends to make them one piece then add fingers over it that way the gun part acts as a wrist, what parts to use to make this though i have no idea
