Been following this on Tested and seen the videos on YouTube, amazing amount of work and detail! The base just puts it over the top, does it have any other function (light up or dials move)?
if i remember correctly from the tested videos the glove has working light and servos that open and clos the main hatch on the glove as well as the millinbal motivator

Go on a YouTube chanel called Tested because adam savage has made a really nice replica of it and you can download the plans

Yes, I knew that. I was referring to the base alone. Sorry for any confusion.

Hi all, I'm a bit of a lurker around here, post now and again, wanted to chime in as this may be of interest. I won Adam's Inventern competition last October, it was thru Tested.com where they have been posting all the Hellboy Mecha-Hand stuff. The winner of the Inventern got to help Adam on a project and he asked me to build the Millenbaugh Motivator for his replicas. I'm a 3D modeler/printer so did most of it digitally combined with real hardware. I was really honored to work on this for Adam and I think it turned out pretty well. We are documenting it on Tested, so for those who didn't know about it already here's the links:
Adam first discusses the Hand - 2012
Adam showing the almost final Hand
Adam showing his Hand drawings
Adam & I discussing the 3D printed motivator
I assemble a motivator on camera - this is a subscriber-only video
Over the next few weeks I am writing walkthrus of building the motivator, the first two are up:
Part 1
Part 2
I'm still working out a few kinks with the motivator but I discussed it with Adam and may offer up some kits once I do. I will never build a complete Mecha-Hand so I have an idea for displaying just the motivator which should be cool. I'll be finishing this up over the next few months and will keep everyone posted.
This is the kind of stuff I have wanted to do since I was a kid and it's only been over the last few years that I've really done it. Still have a lot to learn and The RPF has been a huge inspiration and driving force. Thanks!

Hey there Sean! Great work and well met! Glad to hear I'm not the only one that sometimes defies sanity and eyeballs things while modeling. I'm Joe, starter of the thread and the guy that did the 3d models for a few other pieces like the vinegaroon cage and things. My build is still waiting as it was when I got back from Adam's shop (oh boy was I nervous when I went through airport security with that stuff...).
Very well done Adam. What can one say other then WOW!!!

Hey Joe!
I got to see your original cage, it really turned out well! What are you typically modeling in and printing with?
As a Firefly fan I would also like to commend you on the Alice project that was awesome, I still can't believe you did it all in metal. I know what you mean about flying with this stuff, I had the parts for 3 motivators, my curta calculator and a mini reel to reel spy recorder on my trip to San Fran - it looked like a crazy person's bag on x-ray and they just waved me through.

That's stunning work there Adam, I've been lurking here reading all the posts, I finally got off my butt and joined RPF a few days ago.
I've watched everything on Tested, I LOVE your shop.
I'm not a prop builder, I'm mainly an antique radio & vacuum tube collector plus ham radio operator.
I love building stuff in my shop mostly stuff for my shop and displays for my collections
I'm continually blown away by your craftsmanship.
If you're interested you can visit my antique radio/vacuum tube collection web pages here;

I hope to be able to come see you when you come to Charlotte in the fall.

Lovely work. I had seen a few bits of this build on TESTED and loved it. As I checked out the photos on this post I got a kick out of a habit that I have when scoping out build shots: I first look at the main subject, but my eye is immediately drawn to everything in the background. I love seeing what others have deemed worthy of pinning up on their shop's walls. It's always cool to see old projects and mottoes, posters and useless bits of crap that remind the workers there of some fun thrash.
