I used polyester putty and styrene sheet to sculpt fingers.
I only sculpted one finger set ( top, medium, and bottom), then I made a silocone mold, and casted them in resin. They are all connected with aluminum wire.

Styrene sheets are available at most hobby stores. They also comes in various colors. Cost about $4 for a sheet that is about 8" X 10". They also have styrene dowels and tubes that are about $2 for a 2 foot stick. They vary in diameter and price. They also have different shapes, square rather than round, etc. |

I must have spent over $100 for the materials.
I still have to buy small LED lights and battery cases.
Plus I will need more materials for the display base....damn!

Thanks guys. There will be a lot more details added to this piece, and it will be completed in
eight weeks. I will post picture at least once every week for update. But I`m just out of town
right now, so no update for this week. Sorry. (^^)
