need help with custom wolverien

[barry martin]

Hi, how could I make claws for my custom wolverien?

Thanks.

Break the prongs off a couple of forks and glue them on! Then they'll be METAL too!

Really cool custom BTW!

I'm going to use sail needles on mine, but I haven't done it yet so I can't comment on the finished product.

Really Cool Barry! What did you end up using for the claws?

thanks, used your idea "the prongs off a couple of forks" but used plastic forks and painted them silver. I tought that the plastic would stick better to the plastic hands.
Thanks for the suggestion.

WOW, nice work man. I was sort of only kidding about the fork prongs, but they actually worked and look great! What do you know, I am so SMRT after all!

plastic forks were cheaper and easy to brake off.

hi barry, i tried your plastic fork prong technique, and sure enough it worked... but the only problem was that the prongs/claws were too short after attaching to the fists. what type of plastic forks did you use? were they extra long prongs? because your claws looked like it has the appropriate length. the forks i used were the standard ones we get from take-outs or walgreens.
