Hi all, I really like the retractable arms in the finecast commander. I was wondering what hands of other miniatures I can use to give all my suits hands. I am thinking of wraithguard hands. And they should be cheap cause you get 2 sets of hands in a box and most people will only use one set. I am looking at the wraith gun hands so they can hold their plasma rifles like how you would hold a normal gun.

Has anyone done that or have wraithguard bits they can tell if the hands are the right size. Or are their better robot hands to use.

Detail "manipulator" kits for Gundam models. Far cheaper than anything GW, assorted sizes and styles.

Like he said. The 1/144 would be the best bet (just remove a finger). Hobby Link Japan is the best source, example below;

For XV25 suits I found that Terminator hands work really well. The GK ones are handy (*snork*) as they come totally separate from the arms. I've also picked up a pair of Wraithknight hands for when I finally get around to picking up a Riptide.

For XV8s wraithguard do seem to be in the right area size-wise.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
