My Wampa Costume: Hand Test

Here is my first test using the cables in the hand. They are at the end of my arm extensions and will have at this time the 4 main fingers gripping. I may add a movable thumb depending on the success of the 4 finger rig.


This costume will be make it's debut at Star Wars Celebration 5

Thanks to LucasFilm for the inspiration and hopefully for the use of the sounds to make this video a little more dynamic!

have any trouble with the fingers? with my hulk costume im sketching ideas on how to make hands that can grab and ball a fist.

@sketchman1981 - Now that I have all the fingers wired, some fingers bend in more than the others, think pinky strength. But all fingers curl in all the way. If I could change anything I would put more distance between the grip and the rings. If you are going for a basic grip rather than a posing of the individual fingers I would go with the wires attached to a single grip similar to brass knucles.

Hmm very neat. I'm looking to do something very similar to this for a costume.
