Tutorial Request: How to customize and articulate hands & other parts of Transformers

[nOizYbOi]

Hi Everyone!

How is everyone? So here I am with another tutorial request I'm really eager to get some advice on how to make customized, articulated robot hands like the ones Toby has done for his DOTM Striker Optimus Prime (Action Master)

it's already showcased here on PC, but I thought I'd make it easier for you guys to refer by adding the link here:

I'm hoping to also add the pair of brass knuckles that come out of his wrist from the last scenes of the movie Could anyone suggest how I can do that?

I would really really appreciate it if you guys would consider doing a perhaps a small series of video tutorials or advice me on some of the basic techniques you use to make hands like this and how to give articulation to parts that aren't originally flexible.

I am mostly wondering about the following:

1. How do you make the hands and digits like that? Is it a very complex process?
2. What kind of method do you use to make customized articulation in parts like the waist like in the DOTM Striker Prime?
3. How do you swap the parts? Do you cut them off and then attach the new parts with some sort of cement or glue? How do I make the bonds stronger?

I really hope that you guys would forgive my over eagerness and wouldn't mind answering these questions.

Thank you in advance!


p.s - How do I make flame stencils for him?

Thanks!

As for the stencils, frenzyrumble has a tutorial on that already.

I believe he sells them as well, so just shoot him a PM about purchasing them.

Oh wow! Those hands look A-mazing! Thanks bro! That's exactly what I was looking for How are you?

Ok Bro, I'll ask FrenzyRumble again!

I wonder how I can get waist articulation for Optimus though... The way it is there's no articulation in the waist whatsoever
