The hands are from a HG Gundam Wing model, and they actually transform properly. They rotate on little metal pins.
I'm gonna get around to tightening up the paint job. I might paint the gun black to make him even more G1-ish.
Just ignore that little bit of plastic crap in his fist. It's gone now.

Dude thats Genius! I've been wondering what i could do to give him hands. I have so many spare gundam hands. How did you do it?

The white paint looks kinda...chippy, buut great hands toy got going. smooth work.

1- Cut off Jazz's "hands" and the first knuckle and drill a little hole in it.
2- Cut off the ball joint attachment from the Gundam hand (the really little ones) and drill a little hole in it.
3- Trim a piece of wire that's a hair thicker than the holes that you drilled and cram it in between them as a pivot.
You'll need to do a bit of eyeballing to get the placement right, but other than that it's a simple job.
Go for it!
And thanks!

Interesting work there. Clever little adaptation that Hasbro should have done in the first place.

Will you marry me? :grin:

My head was on the verge of exploding, trying to work out how to do those hands, and I'm pretty sure I too have some of those Gundam jobbies lying around...

Hands remind me of the ones from the g gundam figs. :-?

If so. I almost had em all =\. Nice work btw. <3

Thanks guys. I'm glad that my cutting is good enough to distract some attention from my painting.

I'm glad you like it, but I don't know about 32432 times. Maybe after I get the paint straightened out.

They use the same parts for all of those models, so they're probably the same.

I'm flattered, but no. You can buy me lunch some time. (Batman reference)
By the way. What's this "<3" I'm seeing all around now?
