I made this diver and will be making it more often. It's from a DVD 'Nikoloon Vol 4' I think.

The only thing I'm not keen on is the hands. I've tried different methods which came out crap. Does anyone have a pic please of 'hands' made with balloons? The model on the DVD also has flippers on but I thought they took away the look of detail in the toes so decided not to use them.

If possible, I would like to get one hand with his 'thumb up'. :)

Hi Billy,
this is the hand I do on all my modeles that have hands. It's the standered cartoon hand. Three fingers and a thumb. To this day no one has said it's only got three fingers. All it is as I'm sure you can see is three bubbles and a pinch twist locking it all together. Hope it helps as the rest of the model look great.

Do it in white and you've got the hand from the munsters.

I think it is posted here on another thread in white for the pop video?
The pink hand is meant to be looking like a clenched fist with the thumbs up.

This is the hand for a skeleton I made a few years back.
It's posted in my balloon hq portfolio & possibly my website gallery.

Thanks guys, I might try it with Grahams pink hand (his 8.45pm post).

The diver is made with 260's and 160's. I'm going to try and make the whole thing with 350's and 260's next to give an even bigger impact.

Hi Billy,

I like your diver.
The only thing I would like to say is that I wouldn't left the fins out!
I'm a diver myself and I can tell you you can't dive without fins, so I think it's an essential detail.

Do you know that the thumbs up means to go up when you are diving?
There is a special OK sign for under water. (index finger is touching the thumb, and the other fingers are standing up)

Petra

Graeme, what about making the hands similar to the feet, but instead of doing the heel, you bring that bubble around to the side of the hand, make it smaller, and looking like an opposing thumb. Would it work?

Cheers,
