Adam Savage shows off his mecha-glove from Hellboy

July 24, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is an open-ended but very complex project. It’s also clearly a labour of love for Adam Savage. It’s based on a glove that’s seen briefly in the movie. He wants two gloves and explains this means he’ll try and build four. Why? In the process of building the gloves he fully expects to ruin […]
