Thread: New Flying Crank Ghost Arms & Hands

Tweet

Well this year I got to looking at my FCG before putting it up on Halloween. It had these disgusting hands that I made from masking tape and coat hangers about 11 years ago. This is one of them:



I had a 20% off coupon for Halloween City so I drove over and picked up these.





Of course, they were both left hands!!!!! So I decided to try my hand at a little surgery. I first cut off one of the thumbs:



And this is what I had:



I took a piece of clothesline I had in the garage and hotglued it into the severed thumb and stuck it in a little hole I carved in the other side of the hand:





I then hotglued the thumb back on and shot a few staples in it for a little extra strength. The staples aren't too obvious and a little black paint will touch them up.



I then popped the hand back on the arm and glued them together.



I then cut the upper arm off of at the elbow and ziptied the new lower arm and hand to the existing wire arm of the FCG.

Are you gonna throw those coathanger and masking tape hands away? I mean, my FCG hands are made from cardboard that I painted white. :;-)

So, are those new hands fairly light? It looks like you've got a great idea that could be the step in FCG evolution.

they had those hands at the 5 dollar store ( 5below) great use of them
