Thread: Recommend quality hands

Tweet

I am designing several new props for my haunt this year, but my big sticking point are hands. I am particularly interested in decaying skeleton hands which obviously look as close to real as possible. Can anyone recommend a designer or internet site which specializes in hands for props.

Have you tried searching the how-to's? Among many others, Herman Secret did an excellent one on skeleton hands.

Another option is to buy a pair of Bucky hands from Boneyard Bargains and age them/corpsify them. More expensive option, but less labour intensive

Skeleton Hands

Start with sculpey clay


Place in your hand where your fingers bend


Squeeze you hand together


open your hand and there you have a creepy looking skeleton finger


Make 4 more and you have the beginnings of a cool looking hand now pose, bake and paint

Very simple......

Killyaquick that is an interesting concept. Do you have pictures to show more details of how you would finish the hand?

Thank you for sharing...that is a great idea Killyaquick.

Killyaquick, that's a great idea, awesome looking hands! How did you do the palm of the hand, just the clay?

Oooooooooooooooo! Killyaquick, those are SWEET. Do you think that using Crayola Model Magic to make them would create cool, super light hands?
