Open right hands?

[Tyrannicide]

As the title says, anyone know of any open-hand rights hands?

 

Remember, this is the left side of the model when viewing a picture.

 

 

I can only think of a single one, the hand on the Librarian from Dark Vengeance. Unfortunately that won't work for me.

If you're looking for support hands, you can, with a lot of hate and discontent, clip the thumb off a left one, hope not to lose it, and then move it across to the other side on an open left hand.

 

Otherwise no, I'm wracking my brain to think of a model with an open right hand, at any point in the history of 40K, and coming up blank, except for power fists.

I think I've discovered it.... posted this 5 mins too soon I suppose.

I have the hand in front of me now and am whittling away at the palm to clean the remains off of it. It's not clean, but it'll work well enough.

Well the only empty hands I can think of are pointing ones. But if the open-handed hand of the librarian won't work for you, what exactly do you need from the hand then? Maybe there is another solution to whatever you are trying to do?

 

You could of course also always try to sculpt a hand. Or improvise a cruder bionic hand with plastic card if you don't want to sculpt it.

 

+edit+

Was writing while you answered. The biker hands are in a similar position, though less detailed. But they are attached to a significantly less expensive bit.

Sculpting the hand was my last resort. I'm not a great sculptor as is, can't imagine doing one of the most intricate parts of the body... in armor.... in 28mm scale...

Mine as well post my other finding, which is the right hand of the Marine holding the binoculars from the FW Tank Crew set.

I remember where I've seen it used now. The damned artificer used it in his HH Imperial Fists.

Darth, file down a open SG or GK left hand so only the palm remains. This will keep the nice 'suit' detailing in the places you need it. Take five pieces of super fine guard jewelers wire (the kind that is meant to be twined together) cut them approximate to the appropriate length of the individual fingers with a little wiggle room for the fastening. Take a needle and heat it up with a bic lighter and melt a hole where the right thumb would be. Insert the wire with super glue, the combination of the cooling plastic and glue will give it a really, really strong join. take a small ball of greenstuff about the size of bead and flatten it carefully. From the top down, wrap the GS around the wire like a sports bandage. Next take the tweezers and shape the 'joints', going from largest to smallest (dont worry if they are too long at this point, you'll fix it after it dries). Repeat this step on the other four fingers.

 

Let sit overnight.

 

Next day take a new xacto blade and trim the fingers to the correct proportions and take super fine grain sand paper and carefully round the finger tips.

 

Takes about 30 mins. There is a tutorial for it on youtube somewhere.

 

Also hold the hot needle in a cloth. To keep from burning your fingers. Also use fire retardant cloth, or you might end up like me and use the cloth after burning myself only to burn the cloth and further burn myself trying to put it out.

Wow, very comprehensive and helpful M2C. Thanks, I might give it a spin.

as mentioned the bike kit has open right hands, with little effort these can be made to support a bolter etc
