[Melkor of Morgoth]

So, I've looked all over the place for some sort of tutorial or explanation from people who have made fingers for a Tau Battlesuit and I've come us with...absolutely nothing.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? I know the two major options are green stuff and plastic card but I'd like to see some examples of both and hear how the creator did it. If you know where I could find said info, that would help too.

ANY help would be appreciated though.

You'll have to search but a samurai XV8 suit had some good conversions.

i posted this up in the other thread about the Samurai color scheme. I hope that helps show you how he did the fingers for his suits.

the Scarn hand looks pretty cool, but I think its a bit large to be retracted into the wrist as the standard suit seems to do.

A more cost effective version, and a bit more size specific is what Ive done using either a plastic zombie hand, and some green-stuff to add plating and articulation cables in the wrist (after you amputate the pinkie to make it match Tau fingered hand) or alternatively use a space marine gloved hand and carve off a finger also and green stuff some wrist cables.

It might be hard to see, since their primered and slightly out of focus, but you can check out my results in my conversion thread for my suits:
