I don't know yet if the "die-cast" type effect for the hand's frame is
right, or if it needs to me made up of parts like the fingers.  It was
really just something to hold the fingers together.

The thumb is something I've been trying to ignore really.  I had trouble
making it move in all the required directions and also making the main body
of the hand be the right shape to hold it.  I can't quite work out how I'm
going to do it with the style I've picked - I'll probably have to dig out my
old Lego Technic and try it for "real".  (Maybe Fred Breizatao or Anton
Rave's Lego POV kits would be more fitting :)

I don't suppose this hand will ever do a Vulcan salute with fingers like
that.
