These skull-n-hand light props will be used to light the walkway that will lead up to the house from the street. i plan on making 8 of these props. Here are some photos of the first two I have made. Keep in mind that I am not an electrician, and I do this stuff at my own risk.
First, you must unscrew the finger bones from the bracket the holds them to the wrest bones. Take the fingers and flip them over and then reattach them to the bracket. This is so that the fingers will be on the correct side when it is attached to the skull.
The next thing to do is remove the wire that holds all the fingers together. Take a pair of wire cutters and cut right through the spring looking thing that is between the fingers. Then gently pull the wire out one finger at a time.
Now, to hold the wrist at the right angel for the skull I used marine epoxy putty that you can buy from Home Depot. By playing with the skull in the hand you can figure out the right angle for the wrist. Take the putty and push it into the wrist and fingers bone area. Smooth it out as best as you can. Prop the arm up so that it will hold the right angle that you want and let the putty cur over night.
For the elbow I used J B Weld, you can also buy this at Home Depot. Make sure that you get as much of the J B Weld into the joint area as possible. Then prop the arm up so that it will hold the angle that you want and let the Weld cur over night.
