I'm making a few static zombies for my zombie run, and may make a few torso's for the graveyard.
I tried 2 different methods of putting together the fingers with glue sticks. First (harder) was using bent nails as the joiners and joints between the pieces. Second way (easier) was to just glue the pieces together.
This is the left hand. I used nails as the joints. This proved to be difficult not only to cut the heads off the nails but forcing them into the glue sticks. I had to pull many of them apart, use pliers to bend the nail to the desired angle, then re-attach the stick. I used wire coat hanger for the hand section, with a piece of cardboard for the palm, all covered in a nice coating of duct tape.
In the background you can see my long list of things to build - none of them complete.
Both hands together. The one on the left was glued together (easier). The one on the right has nails as the joints (harder).
Chicken wire, PVC, and pool noodle torso with hands applied. I used my own arm and shoulder measurements for the dimensions. The PVC spine is zip-tied to the back-inside of the wire cage.
