Getting to grips with an Imperial Knight...

[MadDoc]

First off, apologies for the terrible pun (what this is in reference to will become clear).

 

I'm in the process of assembling the first of 2 Imperial Knights I recently picked up and looking at the Thunderfist I couldn't help but think the fingers could be hinged (at the knuckles), and as it turns out they can.

Enjoy. Comments welcomed.

 

Edit - To properly embed the video.

Nice. Probably not something I will do myself, but it is a neat detail to show off.

[MadDoc]

Thank you. It was surprisingly easy to do.

Am I the only one that immediately thought of having my IK flipping the bird? 

 

Great modification, in either case!

I know someone who's done that (and devil horns) with a Titan power fist...

Nope, definitely not the only one. That almost made it into the video...    

 

My better angels won out though.

If you have leftover polycaps from anime models like Gundams, they make great incerts for posable joints. And you always have leftover polycaps ... Always.

I like to think of my Knights as action figures rather than gane pieces. Feels more dynamic to me.
