    Webbed Hands

    I've got a custom I'm starting that will require webbed hands. Sure, there's the Mego webbed mystery Aquaman hands, but since I'm planning on sending kids to college, those funds are spoken for . . .

    CTVT has some monster hands I thought might work:



    But I'm trying to come up with ways to put webbing between the fingers--any ideas out there?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, 3-D fabric paint in between the fingers. I used the Glow In the Dark type paint for Abe Sapien on FC female hands that are similiar to those and it worked well.

      I think these would look cool webbed. I would use magic sculpt to make the webbing.

        ^^ They would-- what hands are they?

        And I like the paint idea for the webs -- do you need to lay something between the fingers first?

          nope, the paint is thick enough that it fills the gaps pretty well. start from the area closer to the hand btween fingers and work your way out.

            Lonnie? Anybody? What hands are those Lonnie suggested? They're really just what I'm looking for!

            Thanks!

              Custom hands I wanted to use for Spider-man figure. I also wanted to make webbed hands out of them...

                ^^^ Aah . . . Well, shoot, then the monster hands it is. Those are great hands though -- but who makes custom hands? Custom heads I've seen plenty of, but hands . . . Man, the mad focused talent out there!

                Thanks for the heads-up all the same!

                  Those look like FC female hands. Which are great scale for mego male hands. Usually hard to find a figure where BOTH hands are open like that. Maybe Aunt May...
                  I also think Plastidip would work pretty well to fill in the gaps.

                    Didn't someone make some custom webbed hands a while back? I swear I saw them someplace.

                      I'd be down for somebody making a mold of the hands I have. Then I'd web up a cast set.

                        You think mine look like female FC hands? They are original Mego.

                          The FC female hands have more space between fingers than Lonnies. and would make for great Gillman hands.
