It's been my ambition for a while now to make a good hand out of legoes. I've been doing this for a long time. My original designs started from a few connecty pieces with a few limbs stuck in sortof the right places. And now, i have built a good respresentation. It's green (whoooo! main feature!), features much the same bone structure as a human hand, is the size of a human hand, and is fully jointed the way a human hand is. FULLY. The ony slight problem is the thumb which is a complex thing to do, so it's very close but not entirely.

This is a RIGHT hand.

Finally, holding a MYSTERY OBJECT (soon to be revealed)




Cookie* if you guess what the lego type is.

*warning: cookie may have fangs and dangerous level of radioactivity (monster from the year 5000!) and attempt to eat everyone and everything within a five-mile radius. If seen, ruin screaming.

A non-fanged cookie if you get the reference to radioactivity.

Is that not Technic lego? (I think that's what the name is.)

As for the hand. Very good job, actually creeped me out a bit though, something sinister about a robotic hand....like in Demonseed or Terminator.

Sweet! That is so cool, how long did it take you to put together? Now for an entire skeletal structure

I don't have that many pieces or I would. Yeah, technic is close enough. It's Bionicle, specifically...

It only took me about an hour once I figured out what I was going to do with it.

Dammit! Bionicle, of course...I mean I only have 6 of my own anyway.

wow, legos have certainly changed since i was a kid =/

They haven't really changed much, actually, Bionicle is a new (based off of an older line) of lego's; the standard bricks are still there.

You have bionicle sets! *dances*

It's using a lot of newer Bionicle pieces so if you haven't followed the storyline you wouldn't recognise them. it's the same style, though.

I grew up with Duplo, which is Lego bricks only eight times the size so awkward pudgy child fingers and manipulate them. Lego is one of the best construiction materials around IMO Although, all this new-fangled jointed stuff and cog-wheels is a bit scary - give me enough bricks to build a pyramid (one of the hardest structures to build with Lego by the way) and I'll be happy.

I liek my single-brick pyrimid engineering marvels.

Yes, i grew up with duplo's too! We've had construction materials (duops, legos, knex, some metal thingies, blocks, tiangle blocks, dominos, and so on) all in our house for a long tiime. they're great fun.

Yes, Doomino's are building amterials! i'v egotten good enough with them that i can biuld stuff that's catehrdral like (as much as you cna get with only two sets of dominos) or so flimsy that blowing on it will make it fall over.

Ahh Legos... The greatest toy in the world. Heck I made an alternate history of europe(yes, I confess I was an anti-social nerd when I was kid)ith those babies. Heck, I even had an entire room dedicated to them.

Wow, very cool hand. And it looks like you can flex it all kinds of ways. I like the pic the best where you've got the four fingers split apart so it almost looks like two thicker fingers. Very nice.

nice work...

I've got literally thousands of dollars worth of Technics and Bionicles. Honestly.

I've decided to expand this here idea and create a human arm with a trigger to operate moving fingers. I'll post it when I'm done.
