This was my first pass at the hands(these here took about an hour to get to this stage)...I am making skinnier versions that will be paper mache' skin covered and then airbrush painted...over the framework structure you see here that is VERY STRONG to hold the sword and staff. I am happy with how mold able and flexible yet strong the tape/newspaper/ hanger wire structure is...But these are just a materials test and not as anatomically correct as I want...
