Knuckle down

This Gamorrean Historian post shows the sketch for the finger knuckle mentioned earlier. This might be a bit overly ambitious, but wait until you see what is planned for facial animations on the head. It'll make the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seen in the 90's movies look like sock puppets.

If I'd only ever sent my resume in to 'Henson' this would all be easy.

Hand Drawn

This Gamorrean Historian post shows the original sketch of the hand mechanism mentioned previously. The dimensions are a rough guess at best. Figure a 7" middle finger is about 2 x's the size of an adult male hand. The Gamorrean foam undersuit image indicates that the Gamorrean arms are long enough that the operators hand will really be in the forearm so we don't have to worry about concealing a fist in the mechanism's palm. This complicates the possibilities for a functioning wrist. The device will have some sort of buckle (more rigid than velcro) to firmly attach it to the wearer's arm. The real fun will be figuring out the correct lengths needed for the pull wires to get proper closure of each finger. Making the fingers return to the straight position requires strips of spring steel be pop riveted along the the tops of the 'finger bones'.

As a bonus detail the 1st finger of each hand will have a special hinged finger tip that will bend backwards slightly when pressing buttons.
