Fossil Hand From Creature From The Black Lagoon!

[madrobot]

Here's a piece I made. Let me know what you think.

I know the original prop was a little different, but after having seen the movie, and looking at the stills, I wanted something a little more fossily.

Not only did I make the hand, but made a crate, and made a fake newspaper to go with it. I thought I'd post this to see what people thought.

That looks absolutely awesome (One of my favorite monster movies as well)

What did you use to make it? Sculpey??

Bronze Apoxie. It's 1:1 scale, and weighs about 4lbs.

Love it! Great original idea of an iconic figure. Love the display, also.thumbsup

Have better pictures, and will post them later today. I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Love it I did one a few years back!! Can't find the photos need to look for them.

I have one of these, and like you, also painted it brown instead of grey

What a trip! I JUST finished my display for the GreyZon hand I did. I have had the hand finished for a few years but just got a display case made for it. Great job on yours, btw! I'm really liking it!!

Lovely work - and a great idea!

Nice, but there wouldn't be any webbing, that's skin which would have gone bye-bye a long time ago. How about a "stuffed" hand which would have the webbing in tact?
Not taking away from the genius of the project, it's inspired!

Actually, this is the original sculpt, and NOT a casting of someone else's work.

Agreed. The original prop had the webbing which I always thought was pretty cool. I collect fossils when I find cool ones and making this was a lot of fun. It's NOT a casting, it's the original.

SCHWING, baby! That rocks.

And an AWESOME original sculpt! One of the biggest drawbacks to the GreyZon sculpt is that it's too small. You're looks to be a closer scale to the original.

Might fine work, bro!

Deffinatly looks better in the brown fossilized colors opposed to the grey of the original, looks damn good.
