Here's part number 2! (all 17 parts of it...)

Also, anyone interested in this sort of stuff, please check the question at the end.
(---Recap below---)
Those of you who know me, (or have peaked at the art on here) know that Leeran has some pretty extensive limb replacement. His arm and his leg are supposed to be cybernetic. But I was too intimidated by the concept of making a fursuit to even try for the extra mile of making the cybernetics. So so-far, Leeran's been a pretty nondescript suit. (with the descriptions he *has* gotten, like "Down syndrome wolf", being less than desirable.)

With a few new skills under my belt, I'm hoping to bring the suit closer to the intended result. With the help of the folks at the 256 Makers local (if you're in alabama, and like the ideas of 3D printers, propmakers, and welders under one roof. Look them up)
(---End of Recap---)

A couple of geeks will recognize the Iron man hand right off the bat, and they'd be right! The hand is starting off as a MIV Iron Man (There's a few changes from the MKIII) and the reason for that is simple.
This hand will eventually contain a wireless mouse. I've been telling folks I wanted to have the cybernetic arm "interface" with computers, and this is my attempt to make that happen. There will also be the traditional glow of the repulsor beam.
For added flair, I will be asking the more skilled prop makers at the makers local if we'll be able to hook a can of CO2 into a pipeline so that there could be a little burst of air for repulsor blasts. That last one will probably get mothballed for this first attempt. But I'd like to work it in down the road. (Because it'd be really neat to do the fursuit volleyball with the ability to air-blast the ball back)

The gauntlet is also probably going to be modified before all is said and done. While I love the repulsor, I am less keen on the way the fingers/thumb look in relation to the hand itself. There will probably be a new top plate, and a bit of "snugging" on the lower half. (notice the inch or two of room from my thumb to the bottom?)
There's also a good inch or so of room from the palm of my hand, to the palm of the gauntlet. This is trying to allow room for electronics and whatnot, but once I know how much room they're going to take up (which is hopefully less than I've allocated) It'll be tightened up to allow more comfortable use. Right now, I can hold drinks and type on a keyboard with the gauntlet on. But there's this constant sensation that I'm going to drop whatever I'm holding because it's too far away. That'll hopefully diminish with tightening.

Now, to talk a bit about the pepakura aspect of this. This is a case of print twice, cut once. learn from this mistake
The original model was scaled for A4 paper, so I used Pepakura Maker, and moved it about to fit the Letter cardstock I print on. Unfortunately, this resulted in a hand that was out of scale with my own. I could tell this immediately when the knuckle area of the gauntlet was just barely the width of my own. (It's supposed to wrap around a bit)
So, in future, when you're going to do a project, select a test page. Preferably one that has something you can tell outright if it'll be too big or too small. Then print it out on cheap(er) throwaway paper. That way you avoid potentially printing dozens of pages, only to find out that they're the wrong size to fit you.

Now for a question! Of those of you reading this, how many would be interested in a tutorial on how to make things like this?
I've still got most of the arm to build, so if anyone is interested, I'll be more thorough picture wise to give you guys a good idea of what to expect if you try to take the pepakura route of prop building. Including the fiberglassing and any other steps I run into along the way.
