news flash the right hand of doom has only four fingers total, not five

[iwillspy13]

News flash, internet trolls are SO COOL. This was a budget build, and I knew it didn't have 5 fingers, I used what I could get.

Hey, I know this is an old threat and all, but I'm trying to make a Hellboy costume for Halloween this year, and I was curious about two things, first, what did you use for the horns? And two, where did you get that muscle outfit (unless that is actually you, in which case, well done sir!). I'm definitely using your idea for the Hand though!

[iwillspy13]

The horns were very last second and made of 2 red plastic party cups cut in half and glued to the bald cap. And I didn't use a muscle suit, so thanks for the compliments :). But if you wanted one, you can go to any costume shop and buy a foam one for relatively cheap. I wish you good luck on your costume and I hope you will post pics of it soon.

I know it's been close to a year since last comment but here is my two cents. I built a Hellboy costume a couple of years ago before I was even aware of forums of costume builders out there. My right hand of doom was made with TWO salvation army found hockey gloves (cost-$5.00), some pvc pipe, sponges for knuckle stones and mac-tac for stone like texture. Sew the two middle fingers together to make one then add material from second glove to lengthen the 3 fingers and thumb. Attch the pvc pipe, wrap with foam and mac-tac, cut and attach knuckle stones, paint red and I used a solder gun to melt "cracks" into the mac-tac. When complete you will have a great looking RHOD that is functional. I can shake hands, fist pump, hold drinks, etc. I have pics of my Hellboy and Borg costumes in the other costumes section of "The Hunter's Lair" forum. I go by Huntermaniac there.

isnt his name hellboy, not doom???
gr8 though

[mikey the weapwns man]

 yeah but his hand is called the right hand of doom , is the key to open the gates of some strange hellish dimention and is called like that because it will unleash the DOOM on the earth n_n

[dareliqe]

oh.. cool!

[tanis9319]

one finger to many hell boy has four fingers but really nice

[iwillspy13]

 Yea, I know. But most people didn't notice and it's just easier to use the glove than to construct a whole new hand.

[tanis9319]

now you can make one more screen perfect for next year dont forget thedesingns on the arm

[iwillspy13]

 Actually this year I am planning on making a Wikus Van de Mewrecostume from district 9. alien arm and all! :)

You can use gesso, available at any art supply store, to "seal" the foam and avoid having the red paint soak in. It will also allow you to use spray paint without eating away at the foam.

[iwillspy13]

Wish I thought of that, it took forever for the foam to dry. Great tip!

[AnarchistAsian]

nice, but lacrosse gloves are expensive, you could have used something cheaper

[iwillspy13]

Well most people have them, or you could probably buy them at a tag/yard sale, or online. But if you don't want to use a lacrosse glove, you could use a hockey one. I actually think this is a hockey glove.

[AnarchistAsian]

it's made by STX, that's a lacrosse company when i got my lacrosse gloves, they were like $30 each

[iwillspy13]

thats not that expensive for a prop replica!

[AnarchistAsian]

yeah, but it's just a glove

[iwillspy13]

Well If you're so upset about the price of the glove, then just find something else to use, find an old used glove like I did, or just don't make this at all.

[AnarchistAsian]

i'm not upset, i'm just saying not everyone has to spend as much money on it

[seriouslycgi]

what about a baseball glove and cut the conecting leather inbetween fingers? there should be old ones at good will?

[iwillspy13]

You could do that, but the glove would be too small. If you out pieces of something like the bedding foam I used for the main part of the RHoD, that would work great. Remember hat this is supposed to be a larger than life Hand

[Airsoft_Maniac_96]

i wouldn't ruin a lacrosse glove for something stupid like this i love the sport to much

[iwillspy13]

Then please don't post in here if u have nothing nice or constructive to say

[BoredomIsACostOfLife]

This is pretty cool.I expected less fingers though:P There's another good.It's the the top one in the related

[iwillspy13]

If you wanna give it a good rating, that would be cool. Because out of the 1,000 something people, only 1 has rated. This goes for everyone

[iwillspy13]

Well, I couldn't find a hockey glove for a person with only four fingers! hehe :) Thanks

[picklegarden]

Good Job. I was thinking about buying one for $400 but now I think I may just make one. Using a hockey glove was a really good idea.

[iwillspy13]

thanks, I'm glad I could help. thats the point of an instructable!

[cowscankill]

Nice! But there isn't a left hand? Never seen the movie...

[iwillspy13]

No, he has a left hand, but its normal. Only his right hand is a Right Hand of Doom. Get it? Got it. Good

[Ward_Nox]

i thought the right hand of doom only had 3 fingers+thumb

[iwillspy13]

thats true, but most people don't notice and/or care. But i still think it looks good. It also cuts down the price because most people have hockey/lacrosse gloves. and making the hand would have been annoying.

[Ward_Nox]

id still add the knuckle stones

[iwillspy13]

i was going to, but i saw the ventilation holes, and decided to keep them. you can do it however you want though. if you like it please rate and tell others

[iwillspy13]
