For those who are looking for a how to for a groundbreaker or just because. I just found this site on Hauntproject.com, it's Herman Secret's Halloween Pages. Looks pretty easy.http://home.comcast.net/~uk_teejay/hands.htm

Just thought I would show you how I did mine. These were designed to be able to move and grap and hold small lite objects like candles or small lanterns. Basically a wire frame, plastic tubing then covered with tissue mache and latex.

Here's my first attempt at skelly hands.......btw I'm having trouble sizing my pictues correctly - anyone??

Here are the hands I'm making for Spanky's Massager Ground Breaker. The hands take about 30 minutes each (for me) to make and I use about 4 small glue sticks each. I only got half way through painting this today with white enamel to seal it up and thought the glue was starting to melt. I'm not satisfied with the hand portion, but I really like the way the unpainted fingers look, but it needs to be painted for this prop. I used cardboard, glue sticks, wire hanger, and some left-over water tubing. The water tubing will slide into the PVC arm.

And here's also my assembly line skulls and skull pieces getting their first sealing.
