I'll start with exhibit A:
WTF is this? this isn't a fist, its not a relaxed hand, its not a pointy finger, its not a clutching claw of doom... this isn't even a natural hand pose for anything less than that of a hormonal teenage boys embarrassing past time. SURELY this is no hand pose for such a monstrous yet majestic iron death machine. So, I decided to chop off his fingers and perform reconstructive surgery.
Being such a tall object on the battlefield, he would serve as a lookout for most ground troops, warning of dangers ahead. so naturally, he should be pointing towards something. I started hacking away his right hand at the knuckles to better pose each individual finger.
The image below depicts an unbiased comparison between the factory fist and my work in progress hand...
I then added the all important pointy-finger finger
All that was left was a little green stuff (or grey stuff in this case) to hide my gaps. the end result made me quite happy and im confident that once primed, the grey stuff sections will be much less noticeable.
Its got an almost "sistine chapel" feel to it. Clearly what I was going for...
For the left hand, I decided to alter the fist a bit, to make it a bit more punchy. If the Stormwall were to punch anything with those goofy excuses for fists, it would break every gear in its hand. Not enough clench! so I altered this. A simple procedure that yielded and over all more believable fist.
