Hellboy's RHoD - Build Your Own

[Nitecrawler24]

don't worry. it's not bigger than full size ;)

[Hellboy4621]

Dude, that's awesome and stuff, but I was confused on how to connect he elastic to the inside glove. Would u mind explaining?

[callmemilo]

@Hellboy4621 I'll be rebuilding the inner mechanics of the hand next year at some point. I've addressed this in a couple other videos, but I'm remaking the suit. If you like, you can subscribe to my channel. That way you'll be notified when the vid is posted. :)

[SaBrack10]

oh i am about to make one with foam I hope. If you have any instructions already posted let me know.

Sam

[SaBrack10]

Thanks for the quick comment. I am working on one for this year using some of your instructions and research all over the net. Yours still looks the bes when holding that bottle. My first attempt is with corrogated tubing but then I noticed hellboys fingers are more flat or square looking like yours. Why is the foam one falling apart? can't wait till your next one. For your face makeup did you use latex body paint on top of appliance and skin or something else. Thanks again.

[callmemilo]

@SaBrack10 Thanks for the kind words, dude. I've got a couple other vids on my channel that go into my Hellboy items in a lil more detail, but I'll be rebuilding my suit this coming year, so you can expect a few more videos documenting the construction and stuff. The foam RHoD looks great, and is pretty durable, but the joins from the fingers to the hands were weak, and the fingers were placed incorrectly, so i'm gonna gut and rebuild it with the pieces I have.

[SaBrack10]

@callmemilo I was just reveiwing your channel and saw the foam one. Nice. I see how the fingers are a little close together but it looks almost exactly like the 400 prop replica. What kind of foam do you use for these projects and are they easy to paint?

[callmemilo]

@SaBrack10 It's standard upholstery foam, I bought it in 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch thicknesses, but mainly used 1/4 inch for the most part. The whole thing is hand painted in liquid latex. The foam gives the texture of rock when painted, and that works great especially once all the grooves are cut out of it and weathering added.

[SaBrack10]

Did your hand make it through an event before falling apart and have you started the 2012 hand yet? Is there another hellboy coming out then?

[callmemilo]

@SaBrack10 Well it didn't fall apart at all, and in fact I believe I traded it with someone for another prop. I made a 2nd one later on, out of foam, which looks great on the outside, but the inner mech is falling apart. So gutting my 2nd RHoD this coming year and improving it with better guts.

[hujk123]

hey man where bouts may I find some of that elastic stripping on top of the fingers?

[callmemilo]

@hujk123 it's something you should be able to find in any arts & crafts or fabric store. i bought mine on ebay. mine's just simple 1" thick black elastic. got a few meters of it to cover the possibility of error, damage and future projects

[TheAdamski92]

hi im panning on making the RHoD and was wondering if you made any videos or took pictures while you was making the hand to give me an idea of siZe and the moveability with it ?

[killertellitubby]

dude, ok, i am going to make it myself :D you seriously inspierd me to do this! thanks man!

[killertellitubby]

i am tryin to make it! dude, sell it to meee!!!!!

[MrThatguy42]

[Cerz4]

[TerminalMontage]

[spagboll616]

[mashley832]

[WISEHOWLER]

[Razback88]

Freaking AWESOME

[lasskitty]

Hi! I'm making one myself for a cosplay, I'm doing the female version of Hellboy ^^ Thanks for the video, it'll help me a lot!

[Protocall13o2]

well something that looked similar to what I was thinking X)

[Protocall13o2]

Yay! thinks for the post. Im making something similar and needed a run down of it. I was looking around for something and couldnt find it so ended up looking for Hellboy out of boredom and found you :D

[Big0Jack]

Thanks for making this video; I've been looking to make a Power Fist from Warhammer 40000, and the Right Hand of Doom is pretty much the same deal.

[IronJ101]

It is Sweet!!! But, how do you make it step by step? You HAVE to show me so I can make one.

[hsoms1]

yo man its tfboi9 with a new account my rhod totally fell apart a while a go looks like a moving piece o crap seriosly!!!

[justin0599]

make a tutorial

[andrewdafoe]

Bummer, well thanks any way

[noisybast]

I managed to get my hand finished on the morning of the 31st. Apart from a slightly spazzy thumb, it looks great! Cheers Callmemilo.

[callmemilo]

hehe, cool... happy to have helped... send me some pics, man, i wanna see how it all turned out

[andrewdafoe]

hi there! I was woundering, would you be willing to take a comission ?

[callmemilo]

sorry man, no chance of that at the moment...

[Masterjohn360]

hey were did you buy the replica of the right hand of doom. because halloween is a few days away and i need to know your you bought it and how much is it and can i find it in like toysrus or soming like that reply back ASAP ty

[callmemilo]

the small one with the perminantly closed fist? it's a foam model with a latex skin, and it's made by Rubies. I found mine on eBay, but you might be able to try your luck at your local costume store

[madgaz182]

hey bud cheers for the comment on my video, the way i made my fingers was just carboard from cereal boxes, and taped them to the hilt so they wouldnt tear, and then put elastic on the backs of them and stapled to the back of

[madgaz182]

the hand so they return to there normal place when released, i shouldve just went and got plastic cos they are being a git at the minute, also i used shoe laces through the centre of the fingers and tied and taped to the tip of my glove inside the palm, the shoe laces inside the fingers were thread through drinking straws that were taped inside, at teh minute im now bulking it up with plaster of paris to take away the squareness of the hand, other than that its coming along great

[callmemilo]

rubber bands and tape? hmm... might work

if it doesn't, try elastic strings or belts

good luck!

[callmemilo]

yeah, i used cheap sheet plastic... you can use card if you want... just remember, as they're fingers, they're gonna bend alot, and card has a tendancy to tear... also whatever material you use, the finger needs to be able to straighten again by itself

[madgaz182]

what kinda of plastic where did you geit from

[callmemilo]

well, i live in the uk, and i got the plastic from pullingers art shop.... you should be able to find it at most arts and craft store... or you can cheat and buy something like an A4 plastic folder/wallet and cut the plastic from the cover

[tszhok1992]

Can you tell Me What Kind of material I Need???

Thx A Lot..

[callmemilo]

hehe, you obviously haven't been listening... cardboard, plastic and lots of tape to hold everything together

[tszhok1992]

I am sorry about that I am not good at listening

anyway thx a lot..

[Lsaz17]

I agree with Masterjohn360 dude! It's almost halloween and we really want to go as hellboy this year!

[callmemilo]

sorry guys, as i'm not rebuilding one any time soon, i can really make a tutorial on it... but basically, make a hollow cylinder and palm out of cardboard, then make the fingers out of sheet plastic (I posted another vid that deals with that)

[Masterjohn360]

hey can you plz show me how to make it it's almost halloween so can u make a tota.

[rugbyjack11]

heyhey

ive been watching your vids on the hand of doom and they are very interesting

im currently working on big baby if you know what that is bit i might give this hand a try, dude to your hand looking and woerking so awesomely!

[callmemilo]

[figure3364]

[callmemilo]

hehe, thanks... i'm sure i can make that work to my advantage, lol

[tfboi9]

i used the foam as a mold i put the foam on the hand put three coats of automotive concrete 1 rough 1 smooth and 1 as a seal for part tha caved in

[tfboi9]

im doing that but im using foam and i carverd it to the shape of a palm and im gonna pit the fingers in today i think

[callmemilo]

cool, man... lemme know how it goes!

[tfboi9]

that didnt happen today the sheet plastic i used i didnt have enough so i went to home depot and they didnt have any so i put 2 coats of the auto motive concrete stuff but the foam hand looks perfect

[callmemilo]

you'll have to send me a photo sometime, man.... interested to see how the foam looks

[tfboi9]

[x3UbberLooserx3]

i LOVE you RHoD!

[callmemilo]

[x3UbberLooserx3]

xD

yeah, we were the not so good FF7 group that got insulted by the judges in the masq cause we used annoying song's that they didnt like. =3

[callmemilo]

lol, ah ok... that musta knocked you guys down a few points when it came to judging the contest, huh

[x3UbberLooserx3]

Nahh, you guy's desurved to get better, plus, we got stuck in the jr's ¬_¬ so we had tough comp against mini doctor and the girl.

[wolfeman323232]

customize the rubies hand with your fingers and thumb and the string and then paint it

[callmemilo]

nah, rubies is too small... i might be doing a second version, which should work alot better, so i'll include a way more in depth tutorial for it

[Zeikial]

PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON THE FINGERS... lol. ive been trying on them for like 2 weeks over 23 different trys....

[callmemilo]

[Zeikial]

i am making my own RHoD and would you please make a video on the movement of the fingers please

[ozzy936]

how do u make it plz tell

[mexerican77]

thts kool but what if u wanna punch someone as a joke wont it brake

[callmemilo]

yeah, there's a possibility, of course, if you're building it to hit someone, i'd use stronger materials, or maybe go the other direction and add foam to the knuckles

[austinj1992]

dude i want one so bad

[JohannBPRD]

THATS COOL

[thelouie]
