Okay, this is my first attempt to pep your hand PDO, Zabana and I was pleased with the way it was going until... BOOM... I hit the circular center.





Edit: Looked at some other pictures... need to scale it down a bit.

Yep, that scale is pretty big for your hand

I'll second that!! You could remove another 8% imo!

Totally true he has very good hands in this job XD

I sat down and made another "knuckles" last night and I think this came out very clean (for me). This is the first piece pep piece that I've done to completion, even though it's only a 1/3 of the hand.

I agree that this is a difficult piece, but now I'm thinking that if I can pep THIS piece, I can probably pep any piece which makes me rethink doing my suit in foam.

Gah... I'm going to resin some scrap/small pieces this weekend and see how i do with that and make a final decision. Anyway, here's the pic:



Edit: Gah, my heart stopped for a moment... my 1 year old just grabbed it. Fortunately, I got it from him in time.

Perhaps and just maybe perhaps the new piece is a little small, you will need to reinforce it so you will loose a little room in the inside...

And about your kid I´m pretty sure you were the Flash for an instant XD

Mmm .. this looks much better, but depending on how you're gonna finish the inside of the glove, you might be either too small or too big. But it seems good enough if you don't have a thick glove in there.

Personally, I prefer mines much more tight else I felt like my hands were just disproportionnal to the rest and it removed some freedom for my fingers.

Oh and tip for the crowd, when you start building this hand, ALWAYS begin with the center ring and go from there. Those things build really nicely after a couple try and I found this trick to help me a lot and my 4th hand looked really nice compared to my 1st .. ischh

By this do you mean that I should give my hand some more room to move around in the glove?

I'm likely going to cast this and if I do, the internal folds aren't going to be there. It's snug now, but not uncomfortable and with the paper supports gone after a cast it will be looser. Does that sound right?

That's EXACTLY what I did this go around. Made the build SO much easier and cleaner.

Yes that sounds about right!

Check the pics that I posted of my hand in the 100% then the 95%, you'll see what I mean, basically, the diff happens in the knuckles hole and at the wrist. Knuckles, you can't do much, wrist is all good, there's a little play in there.

Great, happy to know it worked for you too!

Can´t say for sure but if I were you a little bigger will be better... but not a lot, try to build it complete and see...

Yep, you guys called it. Close, but no cigar. Currently at .774 scale. What do you think would be a good scale?

I know I built my first one at 100% and I have XL hands.
My second try at 95% is pretty much spot on.

It's good to know that with these hands, the ratio knuckles size (width) is funky with the hand length. What I mean is that if you get the hand to fit around the knuckles in terms of width, then, most likely you inner palm's size will be on the short side at the wrist. So it's all a question of balance between both.

awesome work

Hey, recently I started building the hands. Great file! Definitely a challenge. I think this is just about the right size, what do you guys think?

It looks like to me pretty well done and sized, only maybe when hard to trim a little between fingers to increase mobility

Good job!!!

What is the best way to scale your boot? I'm using Darkside501st version of your model with the expanded view an I'm finding it hard to scale it. I'm a size 9 shoe and I've been trying to work around that.
