Hellboy's Right Hand of Doom

[BlindSquirrel]

I actually had vacation days left over from last year so I decided to do something "productive" with 'em. I know there's probably a million easier ways to make this thing but I had MDF....

Not only is this monster big but it's way HEAVY...20 lbs, baby. It's provides a nice workout while you're clobbering Nazi War-Apes.

WIP pics are on the blog...

Where's the jaw drop smilie when you need it....

Absolute top draw work..

I was stumped when you said it was made out of mdf and figured there had to be a lot of filler involved.
Nope., all mdf, as your excellent blog proves.

Once again amazing work.... :confused :thumbsup :confused

Damn. That looks great. I cracked up when I saw the pic of the padded opening with "Anyone for a game of "Demon Proctologist" or "Alien Drug Mule"?" posted below it. :lol

 

[rmschneider104]

MDF??? Wow. Nice job. Most impressive.

 

[phase pistol]

Holy crap. I think he means to open the locks and bring down the Ogdru Jahad with that thing. :confused

Don't do it man... :cry

 

[CGClone]

MDF? Dude, wow, nice work. Be proud of yourself, thats awesome.

 

[clownluv15]

Awesome work.....might be a dumb question though,but can the fingers open?

 

[rocketeer25]

Excellent work. :eek

Great write-up on your blog, too.

 

[Jimbo890]

Sadly, no.

I think the fingers would have to made out of some sort of rubber seeing how much they have to curl in to make a fist. Then you'd have to make some sort of cable controlled "skeleton" to manipulate them.

But I DID consider it.

Fortunately, I had no access to liquid rubber....just MDF.



BTW all the MDF that I used in this piece was found in the "cull bin" at Home Depot for a total cost of $1.53.

Nice.

A steal, given the use you've put it to.

Nice work man.

Those are great fun to do. Glad to see people are still doing HB props.
