Here it is - my very first object that I'll publicly admit to creating.
Every day on the train home for about 30 minutes and then every evening that
my wife lets me has resulted in this...

The whole thing was created using CSG for the fingers, prisms for the hand
and the fabulous Splines.inc by Chris Colefax.  I'm struggling a bit with
creating interesting textures, but am pleased that I manged to get the
fingers controllable by a simple macro:
#macro Finger(FingerType, Bend1, Bend2, Bend3)
Is that FK? I tried IK (I think) but could work out the angles needed for a
specified point at the tip.  :(

I suppose next comes the
wrist...arm...shoulder...torso...don'tforgettoeat...legs...feet...divorce...
head...
